Christmas Party work work, I told my boss that I needed a raise because I had to endure his presence everyday..

I was a CNA/LNA for almost 10 years before becoming a RN and Medical Coder, and all I can say is that in that profession you either love it or hate it. Long term care is hard work it's very physical and emotional..I have worked with horrible LPN's with a above it all attitude, to really helpful ones. It just depends on where you work...Also there are different places to work, I worked in Nursing Homes, Brain injury facility, and even pediatrics (long Term) If one doesn't suit you another will. If you are not strong ie, emotional, physical, and have no empathy then maybe it's not the job for you..
