Duties and
responsibilities: The primary
job of a nurse working in a nursing home is to take care of the needs of elderly
patients. A basic level, nurse’s makes sure patients maintain acceptable levels
of personal hygiene have lean beds and receive proper nutrition. More advanced
responsibilities include monitoring vital signs, giving IV’s, administrating medication
and drawing blood.
Salary:
$83,340
Education: You must have a bachelor’s degree in
healthcare administration, masters in long term care administration, health
services administration or related field recommended. Other requirements are
state training program, internship, licensing and continuing education. However
most nursing home administrators have master’s degree in long term care
administration, health services administration, public health or business
administration.
Reflection: I would like to probably be one
because the nursing aids and assistants make up the lowest tier of nurses in
nursing homes. They handle basic tasks.
