Most of these postings have confirmed what I suspected, that LTC is just as stressfull and fast paced as any other nursing job. I am also getting the impression that there is no such thing as an easy nursing job. Guess I'll have to either learn to like it or go back to school and be a paralegal.

Thanks Capecodmermaid. Your right, I don't want to work for you.

I'm 50+ years old and just started nursing after getting laid off 4 years ago and not being able to find a job. I just started working in a hospital in an area that I am told is the best place to work in the hospital. Unfortunately, the pace is too fast for me and at this stage in my life I am just interested in a steady job until I retire. I am not interested in working codes, giving blood, or anything remotely risky or invasive and want something with low stress and slower pace. Is long term care a better fit for me? Please help. I'm at my wits end and dread going to work every day.
