A nurse is a person who strengthens, encourages and protects, a person who knows how to care for the sick, infirm and elderly ones.

A nurse provides a crucial combination of clinical, emotional and social support to patients and often their families in times of need. It's a job that allows you to make a difference in people's lives every single day.

The nurse is the healthcare operator who deals with preventive, curative, palliative and rehabilitative nursing care. The health care provided by the nurse to the patient is of a technical, relational, educational nature.

During the process of diagnosis, treatment and recovery of health, the nurse assists the patient in every aspect: she monitors his state of health, administers the prescribed treatments, updates the medical records, takes care of satisfying the primary needs of the patients. A nurse has to show sensitivity about the discomfort and suffering of the patient, and at the same time communicate safety, competence and trust in the health choices made. Furthermore, the nurse acts as a mediator between the patient, the family and the doctor, and acts as a point of reference regarding the therapy to be followed.

The nurse knows and uses medical instruments such as thermometers, syringes, pressure gauges, drips, electrocardiographs, pulse oximeters and many others. He is also competent in the techniques of treatment, mobilization and transport of non self-sufficient patients, as well as in first aid techniques.

I think I'll be a good nurse because I feel like I'm doing a job that really cares about the community. What I do literally has the ability to change people's lives. I feel that I am present in the moments that shape people's lives.
