Is working as a pediactric nurse or as a nursing home nurse less stressful than hospital nursing?

I love kids, and helping people...but, i also dont think I'd mind working in a nursing home/ hospital setting, which is better, in your opinion, and why? Which is less stressful? which is the best atmosphere? sorry for all the questions, just curious.

I'd really enjoy pediactrics i think...opinions on that?

Right up front: I'm going into peds.

Hospitals are great, in my opinion. They have a variety of acuities, units, and paces of work. If you decide you don't love you're unit, you can just do an internal transfer--ALOT easier than finding a whole new job. It's easy to pick up overtime, and the benefits are usually better in a hospital than a nursing home. You'll be working with a ton of other RNs and have more opportunities for career and personal growth.

Nursing homes are generally overseen by 1 RN and run by LPNs and nursing assistants, so you won't be working with your "peers". They're extremely slow-paced and in my opinion, depressing. Acuity is low, and the patient population is very stable (read: same patients for years and years). Nursing care is minimal...you're likely to lose many of the skills you learned in school.

nursing home is good until state comes in for the once a year eval. then all hell breaks loose the easiest and least stressful is assisted living rn peice of cake
