Geriatric (LTC) Nurses care for the physical and psychosocial needs of older adults. They focus on maximizing patients’ functional abilities, as well as promoting, maintaining and restoring their physical and mental health.
Because patients need round-the-clock care, working hours include days, nights, weekends and holidays. The number of patients assigned per shift will vary with facility and specialty, if applicable.
Nurses spend considerable time walking, bending, stretching and standing; they assist in patient transfers. Nurses must guard against back injury because they may have to assist CNAs in patient lifts and transfers;
