The Role of Nurses in Healthcare

Nurses provide vital hands-on patient care, but that’s not all they do.

Nurses are:

  • leaders, innovators, educators, and change makers helping improve access to care.
  • compassionate, flexible, and use evidence-based practice to critically think and act.
  • patient advocates to provide high-quality healthcare.
  • problem-solvers and make essential decisions.
  • professional communicators with interpersonal teams to effectively care for their patients, families, and communities.
  • flexible and adapt to change based upon their patient and family needs.
