Nurses
Nurses work as part of a team in hospitals and other places too. They help with a patient’s treatment and make sure that they are comfortable. There are four areas where nurses usually work. These are:
- Adult nursing
- Child and adolescent nursing
- Mental health nursing
- Learning disabilities nursing
Nursing can be hard work! But it can also be great for nurses to see people get better and to know that they’ve helped them.
- Clinical Nurse Specialists are expert nurses. They are trained in diagnosing and treating illnesses.
- Nurse Consultants are nurses with lots of experience who work in research. They also help with education and training.
- District/Community Nurses care for people outside of hospital. This might be in the patient’s home, GP surgeries or nursing homes.
