We all have hopes and dreams and that no one should poop on those hopes and dreams. My dream is to become a geriatric nurse. That means LTC. Do I want to work in a hospital? Yes. But I also want experience working in LTC as well. I want to help the lonely and helpless. Who is more lonely than an elderly person with no family who lives in LTC? Who needs a nurse more than him/her? There's nothing wrong with working for the elderly. They deserve love and care just as much as the little baby and the 30 year old accident victim.
