Nurses are the caregivers you see most during your hospital stay. They build caring relationships with you and your family, manage your symptoms, prevent complications, keep you safe and supported, and teach you what to expect so you feel confident at hospital discharge. Nurses’ work includes both physical and emotional care, ensuring your comfort during stressful times. We want to improve how nurses work is understood in hospitals, so that patients can continue to receive the care that truly meets their needs.
