Hey D, congratulations!!!! I graduated last April and have been working in long-term care. Some spots just opened up on 4W and I will be starting Jan 8th. We did most of our clinicals there. The ratio is 1:6. Sometimes, they had a lack of CNA's or NCP's so the nurses also had to do daily ADL's. That can make it a little difficult at times. That can happen anywhere you go though. I think the only downfall is they pay a little lower than other facilities. But it is state of the art, everything you need will be at your fingertips, and it is so neat and clean. The code ratio is very low, and everyone is soo helpful. They provide proper training on iv's, lab draws, and pharm so you can feel a little prepared. My friend works there and she hasn't had a day yet that she didn't enjoy. Good luck to you!!!! -L
