Hello everyone. I am Lisa. I am a new nurse. I have been working in long term care for 3 years. I enjoy my work, but do hope to broaden my horizons soon. I find that I am learning new things daily.

Welcome. I'm new too. It's just good to support each other! Wow, 3 years in longterm care...I've done 5 years in med/surg (gyne/uro/onc) and most of our patients are gone within 3 days; however, we do have several who have more complicated stays and who are admitted over and over...those are the heart breakers!

Welcome to the site, Lisa! 3 years in LTC? Try over 8 on my end, just at one facility. I won't try to total the # of years through agency, etc.

Hope to see many of your posts!

Hello Lisa
I have been a nurse for 13 yrs and MANY have been in LTC. Another area you might really enjoy is pediatrics..that is my real passion, but there are many similarities w/geriatrics as well..give it a try..those kids will melt your heart!
