Nursing Home Jobs Overview
It's difficult when a loved one moves into a nursing home. Families want to make sure that person is comfortable, cared for, and protected. They trust the facility's nurses and aides will watch over them and handle whatever needs to be done. They may not realize, however, that caring for a nursing home patient is a team effort—and it's a big team.
There is a long list of jobs to fill in a nursing home—everything from a chef who prepares nutritious meals to the employee who arranges activities and entertainment. But three types of employees are needed in nearly every nursing facility: nursing assistant, licensed practical nurse, and nurse assessment coordinator. If you're looking for an occupation with stability, nursing home jobs fit the bill, thanks to World War II. That's because the U.S. saw a surge of babies born right after WWII ended. Those “baby boomers” are now keeping nursing facilities full. The Bureau of Labor Statistics projects an 8% increase in nursing home jobs over the next 10 years.
To start your hunt for a nursing home job, you can take a broad approach and search healthcare support jobs on Monster. If you know what kind of nursing home job you'd like, conduct a narrower search for jobs like these:
Nursing Home Worker Training and Skills
The training you need to work in nursing home jobs depends on what you'll be doing. Licensed practical nurses (LPNs) need to be certified after a one-year program in a technical school or community college. A healthcare administrator will need a bachelor's or master's degree in a health-related field. You can work in a nursing home support position such as a cook or recreation worker with a high school diploma.
People in direct-care positions who interact daily with residents tend to have certain personality traits that help them do their jobs, including patience, tact, and sensitivity.
