12 hour hospital shifts vs 8 hour nsg home?Rating: (votes: 9) For me the biggest difference between acute and ltc is professionalism. The LTC facilities I worked in just always seemed to have the contention between RNs and LPNs. I really do not understand why, when I was a new RN the LPNs were in the specialty units in the hospitals and I truly have a lot of respect for LPNs. Also the LTC patients do not really get better, they are there until death. I kind of like to be in an environment where my patients are improving. However, the opportunity to get into a higher position is better over=all for your career. The LTC facilities are having to step up their game and being the one responsible for the education of nurses is a huge responsibility. If you are ready to grow like this then I would say "go for it!" If it works out better for your family all the more to do it. Congratulations!! |
