September 27, 2006



Caring for the old is a field that is becoming increasingly important and necessary in society today as the percentage of old persons is steadily climbing. The demand for geriatric home nurses is there, all that is needed is ready and willing people to fill these places.
To an elderly person who may be bed-ridden or who is suffering from a debilitating disease, your comforting and compassionate face as their geriatric home caretaker is the positive factor in their day. It is an important job and responsibility to be a geriatric home nurse as you enter the lives of strangers to take care of the one of the most important people in their lives. Whether it is a parent, a grandparent, perhaps a great-aunt or uncle, you are entrusted with their care. It is not just a job to care for them until that fateful day, but to enrich their well being mentally and physically. To be responsible for another’s care, particularly someone whom society consistently takes for granted (our elderly) is one of the most meaningful ways to enter into the entry-level job market.
Becoming an entry-level geriatric home nurse is not a job to take lightly. It is a serious matter when dealing with the physical and mental health of another person, particularly a person who is not used to being dependent on someone else.
This is a job that has the potential to be life changing and richly rewarding at the same time. If you are ready for such as task have fun, learn new things and find that entry-level job!!
