I have worked in LTC for well over 20+ yrs and love every minute of it. Each and every area of nursing takes a special kind of person to embrace their field and patients. There are some in the field who that are clock watchers and some like myself that have a true passion and know that this what we were meant to do...That is ...Take care of the elderly. I personly love each and everyone of mine as if they were part of my family and never forget that ...I could be them in the yrs to come.....

That is so untrue. They obviously must work in a pretty shallow work environment. The facility that I work in EVERYONE is there for the same reason....THE RESIDENT ! It is not below me or any other nurse in our facility to render care to those in our care, ( what ever that care may be) from changing a soiled brief to passing a food tray at meal time. Any nurse that feels the should not have to do CNA work in a long term care facility ,has forgotten was true nursing is all about.
