Hello, I agree with CT Pixie, very true that at times I would like to send them on a slow boat(very funny),and it can be challenging and rewarding at the same time. I work in LTC skilled facility, I am a fairly new grad, (3 yrs) and this was my first job, no experience either. I do love the work, and run my butt off at the same time. If , as an aide you enjoy the work, I think that as an LPN you will even enjoy it more.
