Although I love my job in the ER (and I do Corrections nursing PRN), I am making a career move (due to family needs) to a Long Term Care Facility. I was a CNA prior to becoming a nurse but still... any words of advice? Thanks!
Thanks for this initial post! In much the same way, I am leaving the ER (not forever, but for now) due to family demands, and headed to LTC. I was a CNA prior to becoming a nurse so I am familiar with skilled nursing facilities. Yet, I still wonder a...
