What do you like about nursing in a long-term acute care hospital?
What I love about long-term acute care nursing is the patients. We develop a relationship with them, we get to know them, and we see them through and make them better. The patients come into us and they’re extremely sick, they’re medically complex, they got a lot going on, they’re very often discouraged, and we get to help them through that and make their lives better. Long-term acute care allows you to get to know your patients. You’ll know when they’re having an off day. You’ll know when they’re not feeling good. You’ll know when they’re having a great day. And what you get to do is to educate them and help them, and educate them on comorbidities they have and how to make their lives better. It’s a very satisfying kind of nursing because you get to make a difference and see that difference in these patients and that’s really what I love about it.
