Basically, they are the same as working in any other facility. However, you would be dealing with a specific population. Some of the older adults may be suffering from dementia, hearing and visual impairment, feelings of isolation, feelings of loss of family, personal independence etc., which may lead to depression, as well as other issues. Thus, you will have to adjust your thinking and attitudes toward this special population. However, read the following qualities that nurses should possess, for they apply to all populations you may be involved with as a nurse.

Nurses should be caring, sympathetic, responsible, and detail oriented. They must be able to direct or supervise others, correctly assess patients' conditions, and determine when consultation is required. They need emotional stability to cope with human suffering, emergencies, and other stresses.
