Nurses are the workhorses of any hospital or health care facility. They are the ones who care for the patient - taking vital signs, recording symptoms, giving medicine, bathing and comforting, moving the patient from place to place, and making sure the patient is getting everything that is needed to help them get well. Some nurses can prescribe certain medications, just like doctors. Nowadays, you are more likely to receive medical care from a nurse than from a doctor, since nearly all doctor's offices have nurse practitioners who can do almost anything the doctor would do.
