Gerontological Nursing uses the competencies set forth by the AACN/Hartford Institute at NYU’s 2000 document, Older Adults: Recommended Baccalaureate Competencies and Curricular Guidelines for Geriatric Nursing Care, to help students provide excellent care for older adults. With a holistic, interdisciplinary approach to gerontological nursing, the text builds upon the medical surgical knowledge that students have gained in previous courses. Including numerous case studies, the book also contains critical thinking and personal reflection questions, key terms, a glossary of terms, and classroom activities. Perfect for instructors who are expected to integrate gerontology into the curriculum, Gerontological Nursing is accompanied by PowerPoint slides, test questions, and an online instructor’s manual.

This review is from: Gerontological Nursing : Competencies for Care (Paperback)
This was a required text for my nursing program. I found it extremely helpful and easy to understand. It has a lot of useful information and I found myself reading chapters that weren't assigned in order to learn more. Definitely a practical book that should be required reading in ALL RN programs. Would recommend it to anybody who wants to understand and learn more about the geriatric population in general...not just for nurses.
