I'm graduating in May and have realized that hospital nursing really isn't my thing. Just when I get to know someone, they're discharged! It's starting to feel a little empty already! I've also noticed that the patients I remember most fondly have often been geriatric patients.
So I'd like to know what a typical day or night is like for the RN and LPN in the LTC setting. Do you have the chance and the time to develop relationships with your patients? What is the care-to-paperwork ratio? How are the stresses you face different from the stresses faced by the hospital nurse?
