Whats it like working in a nursing home?

Im about to qualify as a nurse and would like to work in a nursing home. I have chosen a nursing home because whilst training on the wards ive noticed qualified nurses don't get the chance to spend much time with their patients doing the basic care such as washing, feeding and spending time just talking to them. This is what i have enjoyed most out of nursing and i feel working in a nursing home will give me more oppotunity to do these things.

Can anyone tell me what it is like working in a nursing home as a qualified nurse? My friends are trying to put me off saying its less money and not as skill full. It does not bother me that i would be seeing the same patients all the time and doing the same thing everyday, i just want to care for my patients.

Your primary job as an Nurse in a nursing home will be medication rounds, dressings, writing up care plans, liaising with other health professionals. You will not be showering or feeding. Your chance to talk with residents is when your dispensing meds or doing their dressings. Yes it is less money and understaffing is common.

You may not get all the experience out of a nursing home that one would get in a hospital but it is very rewarding. If you feel like this is where you are suppose to work then go with it. If "quality as a nurse" means RN or LPN then you will not be doing the job duties are different from the nurse's aides. You are assessing the residents everyday for changes and administering there medications while watching for adverse effects etc. Which is all important and is part of caring for your patients. Good luck!

From what i have heard from other CNA's and LPN's working in a nursing home is not great at all. I have heard them say that the work is very difficult and they don't get much help from the other cna's.
