What is Nurse?
[[File:Altenpflegerin D1824.jpg|right|thumb|A nurse working at a hospital]] A '''nurse''' is a person who is trained to give care to people who are sick or injured. Nurses work with [[medical doctor|doctor]]s and other health care workers to make patients well and to keep them fit and healthy. Nurses also help with end-of-life needs and assist other family members with grieving. Nursing is a profession, like a doctor, but training for a nurse is different in how long a person must train and what kind of training they need. In some places, nurses may train for three to five years or more before they get a license as a nurse. Nurses work in many places. Nurses work in hospitals, in doctor's offices, and in the community, and they even visit people at home if they can not get out. Sometimes people decide to become nurses rather than doctors, because the nurses will be able to help patients directly, by talking to them, doing things they need, carefully watching that nothing goes wrong, and then seeing them as they get better. Like doctors, nurses can choose what work they do. Some nurses train and work to help during [[surgery]]. Some nurses train to help people understand health problems like nutrition (what to eat), and [[disease]] (what can make people sick). Nurses can do many different jobs to help people. Nurses are in demand across the world because there are not enough nurses to handle the growing number of people who need care Some nurses travel to another location to work for a few months in what is called travel nursing. Many [[migrate]] to richer countries. The British [[National Health Service]], like many others, has relied for many years on importing nurses from poorer countries because not enough were trained in the UK. In 2023 there were more Ghanaian nurses in NHS than in Ghana.<ref>{{Cite web|last=|first=|date=2023-03-30|title=More Ghanaian nurses in NHS than in Ghana|url=https://www.voice-online.co.uk/news/exclusive-news/2023/03/30/more-ghanaian-nurses-in-nhs-than-in-ghana/|access-date=202
