A Day in the Life of an Academic Geriatric Nurse

For this Annual Report, the John A. Hartford Foundation visited eighteen BAGNC academic geriatric nurses. Some are current or former Scholars or Fellows, some are directors of a Center of Geriatric Nursing Excellence, some are mentors. We celebrate their work and contribution to the field through photographic essays that depict “A Day in the Life of an Academic Geriatric Nurse.”

Through their dedicated research, teaching, and practice, these remarkable nurses are transforming the field. They represent the rich and diverse array of available opportunities to improve the health of older adults. They work at the bedside, create evidence-based nursing practices, teach nursing students, shape public health policy, and serve as role models to recruit the best and brightest students into geriatric nursing.

We hope these profiles educate, inform and inspire you.
