SO am I the only one who loves LTC?

Yeah, parts of it bite, but I really love my old ones, and the younger ones who are stuck with us, the demented ones, the incontinent ones, the cranky ones, the MRs who love everyone, the quiet LOLs who string beads -

I help make people happier. I can't fix them but I can heal some hurts.

You go.

I love it too! I went to a prison and worked there for 2 days, I never drove back! I had hopes of working in a hospital but fell in love with the elderly. Most people ask me as to how can I work with such a heavy work load. But you have to realze that in a hospital you have to have less patients because basically everyone is sick, in a nursing home out of the 25 you may have one who is sick and needs more attention.

I just started my career with LTC. Still under orientation and I was in LTC for 1 week and I never thought I will love my job so much that I don't wanna leave my residents anymore. But this week I will be on the short term for my orientation. But after this week, I will be working with both units. I Love the elderly! I know I will be here for a long time.:)
