Make a Difference in the Lives of Others

Read Daria's Story

Nurses are the backbone of our healthcare system. Caring for the sick is only one aspect of what a nurse does.

Today’s registered nurses (R.N.s) work to:

• Promote health
• Prevent disease
• Help patients and their families cope with illness, emergencies and long-term disease
• Save lives

Nurses relate to people of all backgrounds and cultures. They act as advocates and health educators for patients, families, and communities.
