How important nurses are in the HEALTH CARE SYSTEM???nurses are so important in the delivery of care towards our patients..they are the primary health care provider...doctors are just manager who give orders but the care must be credited to the nurses...i just want to tell all nurses all my support around the world that and give you all two thumbs up for doing your part....its not an easy task. it requires dedication and hard work..as well as patience ..nurses are not like other courses that can be easily enrolled...its a calling....Im so proud to be ONE...cheers nurses

Good nurses, nurses aids, and nursing staff are critical in today's health care environment. Nurse practitioners play a doctor's role in some situations when basic health care is needed. More and more doctors are becoming specialized. * My PCP, (or primary care provider) is a Nurse Practitioner. I only see a doctor when I have something pop up that a specialist needs to look at. * When you have the common cold, or other bug, your more likely to run into a nurse or nurse practitioner. He or she will do a culture when you go to Urgent Care or the E.R. Quick Station to have your virus sorted from your bacteria. If you need a shot, pray that you get a nurse, because most doctors are lousy with needles.

yeah your right....i guess nurses are so important to the system...but we must also give credits to the doctors..they are the one who manage the disease but nurses are the on who implemented to the patients, so they are the one who really give the TLC (tender loving care)..cheers

nurse - nurse plays a main role for the health care besides doctor
I think nurse plays a main role for the health care besides doctor. Since most nurses are females, so they will be very careful and take good care of you. They will check your situation now and then. They will give you medicine and shots. I love China
