Nurses care each and every time they go the extra mile to assist a patient.
Nurses comfort patients when worry becomes as big an issue as an illness. They educate and instruct patients on how to help themselves. They advocate for their patients and protect them when they are vulnerable. They ensure that they receive the best care possible. Nurses care each time they stay past the end of their work day to sit with a concerned family member and explain complex medical details to ensure they're understood.
