Gerontologic Nursing CEU Courses

Geriatric nursing continuing education courses are intended for nurses who specialize in the care of older adults across a variety of care settings including home health, hospice, and long-term care facilities:

• Registered Nurses
• Nurse Practitioners
• Advanced Practice Nurses

Nurses working with geriatric patient populations encounter a unique set of patient needs. When caring for patients, the nurse must maintain an understanding of anatomical and physiological changes that occur with age. While geriatric population care needs vary widely, they frequently include an emphasis on preventative care and treatment for specific conditions more common in elderly patients, such as osteoporosis, Alzheimer's, and cancer. Geriatric nursing courses guide nurses around these key care delivery and self-care needs:

• Dementia and Alzheimer's care
• Advanced directive guidance
• End-of-life issues
• Patient mental health and nonadherence
• Caring for stroke patients
