What is nursing?

Nurses can administer medications, monitor vital signs, dress wounds, assist with personal hygiene, and provide comfort and reassurance to patients and their families.
Nurses play a critical role in healthcare systems worldwide, providing direct patient care, educating patients and the public about health conditions, and supporting the physical and emotional needs of patients.
