A Nurse

Nurses keep hospitals and doctor's offices humming Their main job is caring for patients, but what sorts of tasks does that entail? This book introduces the nursing career to young readers. With real-life examples of exactly what nurses must do--and complementary photographs--the main content gives readers an understanding of the importance and rigors of the job. Written with newly independent readers in mind, the age-appropriate content and accessible language supports classroom lessons on community helpers. Fact boxes add even more fun tidbits.
