What Does a Registered Nurse Do
A nurse encounters many problems throughout his or her day, but they are always kept busy all. Nurses do so much more than just giving shots to the patients. Nurses work in much more places than in the hospital, they work at clinics, schools, prisons, and much more. They treat patients from all different ages. Nurses keep record of the patient’s health, give medication, and they try to understand new technology and tools.
