I am writing this blog to share my experiences with long term care (nursing Homes). Over the years nursing homes have been given a bad immage. The only TV adds for them are lawyers wanting to bring a law suit against them. I want this blog to be a place to share real stories good or bad and to allow the public to know that a nursing home is a place to live not die.

Never Say Never
It's funny how life often forces us to re-evaluate our goals. About 10 months ago I decided to step out of a permanent management position in long term care. I started looking for alternatives. I applied for numerous jobs for on line work, remote positions, hospital nursing, contacted former colleagues and finally was referred to a company that fills interim positions, consulting and mock surveys. Through this company I had the opportunity to work in assisted living, fill in as unit managers, directors of nursing, administrators and my favorite doing mock surveys. I enjoyed the work and was able to take time off when I wanted for how long I wanted. I have thoroughly enjoyed this. The problem is life sometimes gives us lemons so we have to make lemonade. My spouse developed a serious illness which has made my traveling job impossible for an indefinite amount of time. Well as he title states never say never, I left a permanent roll in long term care and now have the opportunity to go back and be the Administrator at a facility I spent about 10 years with. I never said I would never go back to a permanent roll or to that specific facility. I learned work ethic from my parents and learned to never burn bridges. I feel that this is what has allowed me to have the wonderful jobs and meet the great people I have. I hope to use what I have learned from my adventures to be a great leader. I m looking forward to where my career will care me next.
