11. Nurses actually work for the hospital. Most doctors are contracted out to hospitals by an agency. Nurses at the hospital are hospital employees. The doctor is either a physician with visiting privileges or part of a firm that serves patients at the hospital through a contractual agreement. This is why it is better to communicate concerns about your care to your nurse than to your doctor.

It is your nurse who is responsible for seeing that you are taken to your various test and procedure locations and who coordinates your return to your room, afterwards.
