The rate of adult gerontological/geriatric advanced practice registered nurses (APRNs) focusing on the care and treatment of older adults to end of life.
Why is this important?

Gerontology is the study of this aging process. Geriatric focused nurse practitioners specialize in this care and treatment helping not only their patients, but family members and caregivers.
