 This Nurses Week, we at Kaiser Permanente want to celebrate all that nurses are and all that nurses do, which is a heck of a lot more than most people might think. There are many different kinds of nurses, and while they're all known for their warm smiles and bedside manner, they're also a unique and integral part of an indispensable system. So if you need a motivator, an educator, a compassionate heart, a go-getter, a caring touch, and a skilled and qualified provider of clinical care, if you ask us, there are a few better suited to the task than a nurse.
