Not bad, but I'm pretty sure you'll grow tired of it soon. It's a pretty stressful field to be in, most of the people in homes are really lonely and/or crazy. One of the old bags in the one here just wheels around all day yelling "Help me" as loud as she can, it's really obnoxious. PRN is the shorthand version of "As needed", so you'll likely be up/down a few hours week to week. All in all I wish you luck, but I can't see you sticking around long, it's very tiresome work. Just be glad you're not in the care-giving side of it.

I can see what you're saying, man.
BUT, I don't know if you saw the part where I said my mom is the assistant dietary director(she has been there for 10+years), if anything goes wrong at all, she knows how to fix it. The nursing home I work in has had 0 deficiencies for the past 5 years in a row(although i'm sure it has changed this year).
My brother works there too, I just don't see him as much. He does something called care plans. I'm kinda confused about what it is, i just think he does assessments on the residents and shit. So, a job with my moms and my brother(the only 2 in my household) is a great deal. The old people are nice, generally. We don't allow any bi-polar ones, and none that are crazy as they could hurt the other residents(we let most of them roam free about their sections). The only close-to-crazy ones we have are all stuck downstairs, they are the ones with Alzheimer's. They just walk around and shit(ALL females, a few years ago there was an incident where they kept finding the old-guys in the girl's rooms with them late late at night).
I'm just on my feet all day.
