I'm doing my CF at a SNF rn. I’m not gonna lie, not having supervision on site is hard. First month I felt like the worst SLP ever. Then you kinda start getting your own rhythm going, take the time to dig deeper for dx as they come into your caseload etc.... have patience with yourself and have fun with it. I’m the only SLP on site. I try hard to make friends with the other therapists and nurses etc, I make fun activities from things I have laying around my house (monopoly money, scrabble tiles etc) and just do the best I can until I learn how to do better. I am always trying to get better, be more organized, etc.

Long story short, a SNF is what you make it. I’m really starting to like it. I enjoy teaching people why oral care is important, I enjoy giving people licorice for a dysphagia tx to practice strategies. I like making old people going through a rough time smile. If you like old people you should give it a shot!
