Discussion with a fellow pre-nursing student:

I said, "I'd love to be a geriatrics nurse."

She goes "gross."

I said "excuse me? "

She goes "yeah. Old people are gross."

I said "they do the same things that you do!"

She goes "I'd rather be a pediatrics nurse."

I said "they do the same thing!"

I wonder of whom she thinks our population is comprised. You're a nurse? Welcome to geriatrics.

Clap clap clap!

I have learned a lot about myself and nursing from the elders I have taken care of.
