A nurse is a person who is trained to give care (help) to people who are sick or injured. Nurses work with doctors
and other health care workers to make patients well (not sick) and to keep them fit and healthy. Nurses also help
with end-of-life needs and assist other family members with grieving.

Nurses work in many places. Nurses work in hospitals, in doctor's offices, and in the community, and they even
visit people at home if they can not get out.
