One of My Best Friends is 93

When I started my career as an intensive care unit nurse, I thought I had a pretty good idea of what it takes to be a nurse practitioner (NP). But my experience in post-acute and long-term care over the past five years has certainly changed that. It has been a privilege to be a part of older adults’ care teams. The relationships I have developed over the last five years as an adult geriatric NP have afforded me a lifetime of smiles, tears, laughter, and personal growth in addition to my professional experience, and this is just the beginning of my journey in PALTC.
