Hi! Just starting a new job tomorrow. It's an Assistant Activities Director at a nursing/rehab home. I was wondering if anyone could give me any tips or details as what the job includes. Never done this b4 and they know it. So any help to calm my nerves would help. Thanks! I do know kinda what they do... distribute mags, help with the activities, things like that but hoping someone who is one could give me a little more detail.

I'm majoring in management concentrating in accounting. I'm interested in going further and maybe becoming a CPA. My mom says I should do something in the medical field since it is always in high demand. I'm planning on going for a second bachelors in nursing after I complete my degree. I know to be a CPA, you have to sit for an exam and you also have to sit for an exam to be a nurse. How should I plan my studies?

I'm in my first semester at a community college right now, just getting general studies. I HATE living at home though, so I was wondering if it would be a good idea to just get an associates degree in something and move to Chicago. Would there be ANY good jobs available? Or is it all for Bachelor degrees and up. I'm not interested in health care, but I'm looking into business/management.

I've been considering applying for work at a nursing home but I've heard stories that it's awful work with low pay. Is this true? I did work experience in an old folks home in grade 9 but I didn't get to see very much of what goes on because was so young. So what is your experience in working in aged care? Pro's and con's? Thanks so much! :)
