I've never work-worked in a hospital, just spent a lot of Med Surg time in clinicals and I hated it. I love the nursing homes, mostly because you can get to know the residents and their families--learning their quirks and what not. When you're working in the hospital, there's much more uncertainty, plus you are always being bombarded with different doctors doing rounds, half of which are buttholes.

Does anyone prefer geriatrics over hospital. I'm not a nurse yet but worked in both settings and prefer LTC. I love building a relationship with them and the families. I would much rather work with a dementia patient than someone suffering from alcohol withdraw or care for a 20 year old who overdosed on heroin.
