What is a Nurse ?
Nurturing Body, Mind & Spirit
A Nurse:
is someone who helps take care of pregnant ladies, moms, dads, siblings, grandparents, friends and you, when you are sick.
There are 
many kinds of Nurses.
**Nurses who work with children in a doctor’s office are called Pediatric Nurses.
**The Nurse who helped delivery you when you were a very
tiny baby is called a Labor and Delivery Nurse.
**When you visit a Nurse at School, he or she is called a School Nurse.
Nurses are very smart and work hard. Nurses go to college to learn how the human body works and how to take care of it.
Nurses work along with Doctors and other health care professionals. Nurses are important because they care if you are living healthy.
If you know a nurse: Ask to take a picture together with them at work, send or email the picture to us so we can put their picture here. Have them write down what they do as a nurse to care for their patients and send it with the picture.
Future Caring Nurses: If you think you might like to be a nurse someday, dress-up like a nurse and send us your picture.

The Digestive Sysytem is one of the systems of the body you will learn about in college. This cool video shows how our digestive system works. It shows how our body uses food for energy so we can run, jump and play.

When you graduate from Nursing School, you go to a Pinning Ceremony and sign your name.
Signing your name is very serious because you are going to be taking care of “People” as a Nurse.
