Nurses are important people. Not only are they often the first health care professional that a sick or injured person sees, but they do their job in all kinds of settings — from local hospitals to faraway military bases.
In fact, anywhere in the world you can find someone who needs health care, you can probably find a nurse.Hospital nurses provide round-the-clock patient care. They monitor a patient's vital signs, give medicine, draw blood, insert IVs, and work closely with doctors and families to keep everyone up to date on a patient's condition. Some nurses even work in the operating rooms alongside the doctors.
