I previously worked in a SNF for a couple years and have always enjoyed working with the geriatric population. Should I focus on something like home health or some sort of higher position within a nursing home that still allows me to deal with the old folks in some way? Ive always thought that maybe working in some sort of clinic would be just the right amount of stress and work/life balance.
Any nurses new to the hospital setting able to bounce back after a year or less of experience? I've come to accept that maybe the hospital just isn't for me. Long story short, I was not mentally capable of handling things. Please share your insight and advice. Thanks.
