Nurse

Nurses work as part of a team in hospitals and other places too. They help with a patient's treatment and make sure that they are comfortable.


Children - People Nurse
There are four areas where nurses usually work. These are:

  • adult nursing
  • child and adolescent nursing
  • mental health nursing
  • learning disabilities nursing

Nursing can be hard work! But it can also be great for nurses to see people get better and to know that they’ve helped them.

  • Clinical Nurse Specialists are expert nurses. They are trained in diagnosing and treating illnesses.

  • Nurse Consultants are nurses with lots of experience who work in research. They also help with education and training.

  • District/Community Nurses care for people outside of hospital. This might be in the patient’s home, GP surgeries or nursing homes.
