It gave me insight into geriatric care by observing the nurses and PCAs. It also helped me to improve my communication skills.
What I wish was different
I wish the pay could have been higher because of the extra work that was not included in the job description.
Advice
Be open to advice from people who are more experienced.

What I liked
The residents are great to work with. The hours worked well with my schedule since I am a morning person. It is also really easy to make extra money since there are always shifts to pick up and they welcome the extra help.
What I wish was different
The pay is not competitive compared to other locations of the same type.
Advice
Be comfortable working with the older population, they won't bite and they have some very good life advice for us students. Get to know who you are taking care of!

Put yourself in other's shoes. Treat people how you would want to be treated.
