I believe the elderly should be taken care of. I do not want any rude answers. I just think this would be a great start and great experience if I want to further my career in the medical field. I just want your opinions on that. Thanks for the serious posters, I appreciate it.

It is not what we think but what you think and how you feel how dealing with the elderly and those who are mentally incapable of caring for themselves. Remember you may be the only kind face that person ever sees. I have worked in the medical field many years and have always said that working with children and the elderly are very much the same and God Bless those who do, as it does take special people to do both. Good luck.

The pay is usually good (depending upon your experience/accredations) and benefits also, but it is also HARD work...there is a lot of physical endurance involved, as well as keeping in mind that you will be caring for people who cannot take care of themselves. If you are not squeamish then go for it, it is a very fulfilling field. Good Luck!

My real job was at a nursing home. I was a dietary aid. The guys were porters. I really liked it.

It depends on what job you are doing-nursing assistants work the hardest and get paid the least!

Euthanasia is a better alternative to nursing homes. We give or pets mercy when there's nothing left to do but die, but prolong our parent's and grandparent's death like we enjoy their suffering.

It is challenging work, but whatever you do, please be kind to the elderly. They have been horrifically abandoned in this culture/society and need sensitivity and gentleness.
