Nurse

A nurse takes care of people when they're sick or hurt. Every day, they check how patients are feeling by listening to their hearts with a stethoscope, taking their temperature, and looking at cuts or sore places. They give medicine, put on bandages, help people eat or get out of bed, and write down notes so the doctors know what's happening. For example, if someone breaks their arm, the nurse might wrap it carefully, give them something to help with the pain, and explain what will happen next.

Nurses help people feel better and less scared when something is wrong with their bodies. When a kid has a fever or an adult needs an operation, the nurse is the person who stays nearby, answers questions, and makes sure everything that's supposed to happen actually does. They notice when something hurts more than it should or when a medicine is working really well. Because they pay such close attention, people can heal safely and go back home to the things they love to do.
