Hello! A nurse is a kind helper who takes care of people when they are sick or hurt.

Nurses do things like:

  • Listen to your heart with a stethoscope (a special listening tool).
  • Put a bandage on a scrape to keep it clean.
  • Give medicine when a doctor says it will help.
  • Hold your hand, give a smile, and help you feel calm.

Nurses wear special clothes called scrubs and sometimes a mask. They work in hospitals, clinics, and schools. They are gentle and try to make people feel better.

If you ever need a nurse, a grown-up will help you find one. Nurses are there to help you get well.
