[00:29.34]W:The physicians in a hospital form the core of the medical staff.
[00:37.67]But they could not provide effective medical care to their patients
[00:43.62]without the help of numerous other medical employees.
[00:49.08]From the viewpoint of the patients,
[00:52.85]the nursing staff is particularly important.
[00:57.89]Nurses are usually in close contact with patients
[01:03.53]as long as they are in the hospital.
[01:07.89]A nurse does not study for as many years as a doctor.
[01:12.88]However, each must be equally dedicated².
[01:17.74]Caring for sick persons requires a great deal of patience and concern.
[01:23.91]Most nurses work long days,
[01:28.16]and they often must work at odd hours or during the night.
[01:33.62]Under the supervision³ of the head nurse,the nursing staff
[01:38.80]must provide nursing services on a 24-hour basis
[01:44.75]and attend to patients' needs.
[01:48.90]This responsibility continues around the clock,
[01:53.95]and so nurses must work in shifts.

[02:04.76]The nurses on the ward⁴ rotate their shifts.
[02:09.31]Some take turns working night duty;others work odd shifts.
[02:15.78]A nurse must always be alert.
[02:20.54]She can never afford to be careless.
[02:25.11]This is true in all nursing situations,
[02:30.26]but it is especially true in the intensive care unit.

[02:40.89]and they must be monitored at all times.
[02:46.06]The nurses who do intensive care duty
[02:51.02]have one of the most demanding jobs in the hospital.
[02:55.78]Serving as a nurse can be a very rewarding job.
[03:01.13]But it is not an easy one.
