I want to work at a good nursing home. A place where I would love to work. Are any places like that still around? I'm on the way to furthering my education and if I could I would like to stay at one place through out my career. If anybody can help I would appreciate it.

Go to faith based facility luthern catholic methodist
go small i loved welcome nursing home in oberin ohio
go where people stay drive the parking lot look at the cars see how they are paid
dont be impressed by the look when you go in the door
peek at the back room to see if there is supplies
ask to see the medcart
come during 9pm med pass see how they scramble
are the sharps containers flowing over
are the nurses scrambling to keep up
do you feel negativity when you walk in the door
do they treat you like you are just another who will come then go soon
ask the family leaving what they think of this place
find out the nurse aid to pt ratio
make sure orientation is formalized and comprehensive
make sure there is no scheducling problem
or an unadressed call off problem
these are brutal when you have to do your load and half another nurses load because she called off
think twice if its a corporation
does it smell like urine?
Ask what pca make
ask what starting lpns make
starting rn s
