Professional nurses deliver comprehensive care of the highest standard. Members of your nursing team include nurses and aides who work under the supervision of a nurse leader/manager. Your nursing team coordinates and collaborates with other caregivers and departments to provide excellence in patient care. Nurses provide a critical link between the patient and the health care team.

In addition to contributing to your care, nurses communicate your needs to your doctors and other team members and inform you about your medications, in-hospital treatment and post-hospital home care. You will notice nurses using hospital provided wireless phones to communicate with each other and with other health care providers, including your doctors. This provides an efficient way of conveying messages quickly with minimal disruption of patient care.
