I work in aged care (well not at the moment) in an in charge role- it sucks- sorry- but basically I don't have much time to spend with the residents my time is spent organising staff, dealing with doctors and paperwork, and popping out pills. Well I can only speak for the facility I work in I guess, I did enjoy it at first but really for me it hasn't been enjoyable. It is really saddening as aged care is so understaffed (due to facility's being tight) and not allowing staff to spend any time with residents, so if you don't want to feel like you are neglecting people, don't go into aged care.

I would love to get into midwifery myself, but given where I live the hosp only takes a certain amount of students on (like 2 or 3), and they give preference to those that already work elsewhere in the hospital. So for me I am waiting til after I have children and then re look at it then, in case I have to travel to go and do it.
