Nursing Schools
Working as a nurse, you will serve as the main point of contact between the patient and the physician. Nurses dispense information to their patients, communicate vital details to their physicians, and prepare patients for upcoming tests, procedures, or surgeries. They also administer medication and perform basic tests, all while helping to keep a patient comfortable during their hospital stay. As a nurse, you will often communicate with spouses and family members to keep them updated on the patient's progress and to inform them of rehabilitative procedures.
