Thanks, mom

When in doubt, you can turn to your friends and family.

I got to shadow my mom when she went on duty at a geriatric home.

First impression was that the work didn't seem that stressful. Morning shift consisted of medication administration, followed by assisting the licensed practical nurse and resident care aide with morning ADLs. After that, there isn't much to do.

Probably not a typical day, but it's pretty consistent with what I've heard with other private institutions.

I'll keep you posted.
