9. Nurses spend time taking your medical history, and transmit that vital information to the doctors. Nurses are more likely to catch a significant fact about your medical history than your doctor is. This is simply because the nurse spends more time with you and will spend considerable time charting your medical history.
10. Nurses educate patients and their families about health issues and concerns they are facing. While your doctor is a medical information resource, most of your questions will probably be answered by your nurse. A nurse will give you your discharge instructions, explain how to take your medications and present you with the prescriptions ordered by your doctor.
