Working in a nursing home can be an emotionally rewarding job, if you go for that emotionally rewarding stuff. I personally like old people because they're usually very friendly (except the ones that aren't) and usually very lonely. The reasons they're lonely is because either A. They're family never comes to see them or B. They've forgotten that they're family comes to see them.
There will be little old people that you will fall in love with because they're so sweet and just treat you like you're their own grandchild, unfortunately, they may pass on and that's really really draining. There will be little old people, cute as buttons, that are meaner than hell too.
Hard work. Also, you have to deal with their families and like your tenets, they are either kind and appreciative of your care, or they're total assholes.
Dolly, I wouldn't recommend this job for you. However if may change your perspective on many things.
