Profession - NurseIf you visit a doctor's office or a hospital, chances are you will run into a nurse.

A nurse is someone who helps take care of patients. Many patients visit the doctor's office or hospital to be taken care of by a doctor. However, the nurse is the one who actually does most of the work.

A nurse is usually one of the first people to see a patient. It is a nurse's job to find out what is wrong with the patient. A nurse also has to get some other basic information. A nurse may measure your height, find out what you weight, and take your temperature. If you need a shot or medication, a nurse is the one who will give that to you too.

Nurses work in many different areas. They include:

Schools
