The number people diagnosed with Alzheimer's Disease is expected to triple by 2050 (CBS News, 2013). Nursing schools have clinical rotations in obstetrics and pediatrics, but not in geriatrics, leaving a gap in nursing knowledge and practice. Nursing students and practicing nurses in any healthcare setting or home health need to receive education in "alzheimer speak" or caring for those with Alzheimer's Disease, the most common form of dementia.
