The most ignored area in medical training that I have seen in survival circles is homecare nursing. Per longtermcare.gov, a person age 65 has a roughly 70% chance of needing some type of long-term care services and supports before they die. However, it’s not just the elderly who may require homecare nursing. Anyone with special needs may also require more specialized care.

So while it may be a boring subject, but it’s an absolute necessity to keep your patient alive and viable.
