The Importance of Nurses 

Nurses are at the heart of patient care and serve as its foundation. Whether in the bustling corridors of hospitals or the quieter rooms of residential care, nurses are the primary caregivers. As educators and advocates, nurses manage a wide range of responsibilities, from administering medications to supporting patients through recovery. 

Nurses are also pivotal in promoting preventive healthcare, demonstrating their dedication to patient wellness that extends beyond immediate medical responses. They educate patients on managing chronic conditions and the importance of regular checkups to prevent hospitalizations and enhance life quality. 

The Critical Need for Nurses Today
