Nursing Professionals Work Patients People Nurse Eslpod Provide

Most nursing professionals work in hospitals and in doctor's offices, but there are other "workplaces" (places where people work) where they can be found. For example, "school nurses" provide basic medical services and treatments for students. If a child gets hurt "at recess" (during times for playing between classes), the school nurse might provide a "bandage" (a piece of fabric or plastic that covers the wound to absorb blood and keep it clean). Or if a child doesn't feel well, the school nurse takes his or her temperature and decides whether the parents should be called.

Other nursing professionals work in "assisted living facilities" or "nursing homes," where "elderly people" (old people) live. They might help the "residents" (the people who live somewhere) remember to take their medicine, or they might help them bathe or get dressed. "Rehab centers" (centers for rehabilitation, where people recover from addictions, illnesses, or injuries) also employ nursing professionals to help patients in their "recovery" (the process of getting better and returning to one's earlier state of health).

"Still" (additional) other nursing professionals work in "hospice facilities," helping patients who are "at the end of their life" (who will die soon). Their primary "role" (job; what one does) is to help "alleviate pain" (reduce pain and suffering) and "provide comfort" (make someone feel calmer) to the dying patients and their friends and family members.

Some nursing professionals don't work with patients at all. For example, a "forensic nurse consultant" help police officers and investigators understand the cause of death. And "nurse case managers" do a lot of "paperwork" (dealing with computers and forms), helping patients find the medical care they need.
