Nurses are the frontline healthcare workers who provide care and comfort to our loved ones when they're sick or injured. They often go above and beyond their duties, taking extra steps to ensure patients receive the best quality of care possible.
Nurses understand the needs of patients first-hand and are dedicated to improving healthcare standards & regulations so everyone can access quality treatments. From lobbying government policies to raising public awareness, nurses take on a leadership role within their profession in pursuit of better healthcare.
More than just medical professionals, nurses also offer emotional and moral support for patients during times of illness. They make it their priority to lend an ear, knowing that sometimes just having someone to talk to makes all the difference in a person's life.
