Where do geriatric nurses work?

Depending on your qualifications and desires, geriatric nurses can work in a variety of settings. You may wish to work at a hospital or medical clinic, but many geriatric nurses find full-time positions in residential care facilities that provide long-term care for older people. There are also many job opportunities in home care, which means you travel to your homebound patients. You not only provide care to these patients but also advise their family on how to keep their home comfortable and usable for the patient. Whichever setting you choose, you will need patience, empathy, listening, and strong written and verbal communication skills.
