I just completed my STNA training in Ohio, and all of the job openings I've seen for aides are in nursing homes. I know that's the best way to get an STNA job, but I would really prefer something else. Any suggestions? What search criteria should I use? I love the sweet residents, but I don't really enjoy taking care of them, which makes me sad. Geriatrics just isn't my field of choice, but I would still like to work in the medical field while training to become a nurse.

PCT in a hospital if you completed a 120 hr or 150 hr CNA course. In Iowa, we call that Advanced CNA.

You may have to suck it up and work in LTC for some time. After you have some experience you'll look like a better applicant to acute care facilities.
