When I was attending college, we could do a nursing internship between our junior and senior years. Two of my classmates and I arranged for an internship at a small hospital in northern Minnesota.
Since we would be there for only eight weeks, we knew it would be challenging to find a place to live for such a brief time. So when the director of nursing asked how we felt about staying at the nursing home adjoining the hospital, we gave it some consideration.
I’ll admit I had misgivings about living in the nursing home. Will we have much privacy? What will it be like to take our showers in the facility bathing room down the hall? Will the noises of the night shift disturb our sleep? If we eat our meals there will the food be any good?
Statistics show that 40,450 women and 440 men will die of breast cancer this year (cancer.org). You’ve probably worked with people living with breast cancer at the nursing home.
