I wanna work at your facility jk, but I'll still give LTC a chance

Thank you everyone for your input -:) I did alright today, but like the others said it was sink and swim but I'm starting to get the hang of things. Are hospitals just as difficult as ltc facilities?

Hello. Not sure if this is the right place to post but I've have tried searching but couldn't find anything. I had a frustrating time at clinicals. Today at clinicals I'm at a new ltc facility and my instructor said to shadow the staff, so I went on to wake up the residents; the staff were somewhat unfriendly and quite rude. I told her I was new and have limited experience. The HCA I was shadowing didn't even show me where things were and just threw me in there and had this high expectation. At breakfast time she wanted me to multitask feeding 2 residents, I told her wouldn't that be a risk for a chocking hazard and she didn't even want to hear me. She asked me how old I was and why I want to be a nurse and I told her, she said I'm young to be a nurse and suggested doing something else. I had a somewhat simalar experience in my old facility and honestly im starting to have second thoughts,,, has anything gone through this? And any tips to survive clinicals?
