Nursing Nurses promote health, prevent disease, and help patients with illnesses. Following are some of the nursing jobs found in health care.
Staff nurses observe, evaluate, and record symptoms and progress.
They also administer medications and assist physicians. They may teach health related classes themselves or arrange for another medical professional such as a dietitian to teach a class on healthy eating. Nurse Practitioners provide basic care by examining, diagnosing, and treating illnesses and injuries. They also have the authority to order tests and prescribe medications.
