Nurses provide care and comfort to the sick. With the expansion of health care knowledge and technology, though, nurses do much more than help people feel better. Nurses are knowledgeable in the biological, psychological, physiological, and sociological sciences. In addition, they have great problem-solving, communication, critical-thinking, leadership, and decision-making skills.
