Abstract

On the first day of nursing school, I ask the students who wants to be in pediatrics, labor and delivery, and ICU. No one raises their hand for geriatrics. With the growing number of baby boomers reaching retirement age, the geriatric care population is significantly lacking in knowledgeable care givers.
