Love long term care ! I have done nursing homes and assisted living....nursing homes = running your butt off mostly....but even the very worst day I have had in assisted living doesnt compare and often times is VERY MELLOW esp after the nursing home madhouse!
I love my residents! I work 12hr pm shifts and my first med pass is my most sociable time with them.
There are several who like to chat when I come around and I try to give them time for this and in doing so it usually is a very pleasant med pass!

I have said before I love LTC. The place I work @ is perfect for skills b/c on my unit I ofourse do my assessments, VS, Accuchecks, but I also get to use skills that are lost in most LTC facilities such as vents, open trachs, IVs, and G-tubes.
