Nursing Homes/Assisted Living

Hello All! I am a new member. This site is GREAT!! I am a new grad (May 2008). I accepted a position with the department of corrections. Long story short... i hate my job and as a result i have been very unhappy with all aspects of my life. I have been searching for a new job the last few weeks and have recently turned my sights toward area nursing homes. I live in Grandview and have been applying to the surrounding institutions. I dont know anyone who works in a nursing home and was wondering if i could get some feedback. i have heard all the horror stories about nursing home facillities but what love to hear from some RN's who have actually had some experience in them. Does it make a difference in a more high-end facility? I would appreciate any insight.

Thank you all!!!
