What Does a nurse do?

Your role extends beyond mere medical care; you are a listener, a supporter, and a source of hope for those in need.

Chronic Health Problems

You’ll study how long-lasting illnesses happen, what signs to look for, and how doctors diagnose and treat them. You’ll also discover how nurses can help patients manage these conditions, prevent problems, and improve their lives. Plus, you’ll explore how chronic illnesses affect families, communities, and healthcare.

Clinical Reasoning

As a healthcare professional, clinical reasoning is how you analyze patient data, identify issues, and develop treatment plans. It involves critical thinking, problem-solving, and using evidence-based practice to ensure the best patient outcomes. Clinical reasoning helps you make informed decisions and navigate complex healthcare scenarios effectively.
