Most people's bodies tend to wear out as they age, and they begin to experience more health issues. As a result, elderly people frequently require more medical attention than others. Geriatrics is a branch of medicine concerned with the care of the elderly. Geriatric nurses are among the most significant members of this profession, as they frequently offer daily care for patients with special requirements. Geriatric nurses should be happy and enthusiastic in general. They should also have a genuine desire to deal with elderly people and be patient, understanding, compassionate, and empathetic.
