Okay, another request for career advice. Please don't pass this up because I really want advice from LTC nurses.
I know I want to go into nursing and have been admitted to a program, have been a CNA for 11 years including LTC, homecare and hospital, adn know I love geriatrics best, but the working conditions! I loved my job when I could do it, when staffing was good, but when does that happen? You all have to put up with so much with so little support, and the pay doesn't seem great. I don't THINK I want to work in a hospital, and if LTC's are as universally bad as all of that, maybe I could look into another field. I just don't know.
So- my question is are there any good nursing homes? What would you suggest so someone starting out who wants to work geriatrics? Any advice is appreciated.
Thank You!
