Cardiac nursing focuses on providing specialized care to individuals with heart-related conditions. Nurses in this field are trained to assess, monitor, and manage patients with various cardiac issues such as heart failure, myocardial infarction (heart attack), arrhythmias, and hypertension. They work closely with cardiologists and other healthcare professionals to develop and implement treatment plans, administer medications, monitor cardiac rhythms, educate patients and their families about heart health, and provide support during cardiac procedures and surgeries. 

Geriatric nursing on the other hand, is dedicated to caring for elderly patients. This field addresses the unique healthcare needs of older adults, including age-related illnesses, chronic conditions, mobility issues, cognitive impairments, and end-of-life care. Geriatric nurses are skilled in assessing the physical, mental, and emotional health of older patients, managing multiple comorbidities, promoting functional independence and quality of life, addressing geriatric syndromes such as falls and delirium, and providing compassionate support to both patients and their families as they navigate the challenges of aging. Both cardiac nursing and geriatric nursing require specialized knowledge, compassion, and skillful care to meet the diverse needs of patients in these populations.
