Hi. I'm Nurse Miles. A Nurse is a trained person 

who takes care of sick and injured people. I've been 

a nurse for many years and I have cared for a lot of 

sick, injured and hurt people both young and old.

Did you know that Nursing has been around for 

centuries and is one of the oldest professions there 

is? There are different areas of nursing and many 

places where nurses are needed. There are also 

great adventures in being a nurse. Come with me 

and let's explore...The Adventures of Nursing!

A Hospital is a place where the sick and injured 

receives emergency medical care. It is the most 

common place where nurses work but did you know 

that some nurses also work outside the hospital? 

In fact, some nurses work inside emergency vehicles. 

They are called Transport and Flight Nurses.

An ambulance and a medical helicopter is used to 

transport the sick or injured to the hospital in an 

emergency, especially in far and remote areas. And 

it is the quick decisions and urgent care given by the 

Transport and Flight Nurses that makes a difference. 

Transport and Flight Nurses are always on the go! 

Healthy Kids Learn Better....

...and School Nurses Make it Happen. 

School Nurses certainly see their share of sick kids 

with stomachaches, nosebleeds, bumps and bruises, 

colds and coughs. They have the important job of 

promoting good health. They teach students how to 

care for themselves through good nutrition, proper 

hygiene and getting enough sleep and exercise.

School Nurses also care for children with certain 

health conditions such as Asthma and Diabetes and 

Seizures, as well as children with special needs. 

       Every child deserves a School Nurse!

Military Nurses care for our soldiers in the military. 

These nurses are no different from other nurses. They 

give medicine, treat wounds, and care for our sick 

soldiers. One of the interesting things about being a 

Military Nurse is that your assignments can take you 

all over the world to care for our Troops.

Florence Nightingale was a famous Nurse. In 1854, 

she went to the Crimean War to care for wounded 

soldiers. She was inspirational in improving the 

conditions of hospitals, making them cleaner in order 

to provide safe and proper care. She became known as 

"The Lady with the Lamp" because she stayed up at 

night caring for the sick. Today Florence Nightingale is 

known as "The Founder of Modern Nursing".

ALL ABOARD!!!! 

Cruise Ship Nurses. These nurses who works aboard 

cruise ships know that if an emergency can happen on 

land, it can also happen at sea. Fortunately, medical 

emergencies do not happen all the time. Most of the 

care on cruise ships is giving over-the-counter medicine 

for colds, headaches or other minor illnesses. However, 

Cruise Ship Nurses are always prepared in case there's 

a life-threatening emergency with a passenger or crew 

member. 

Cruise Ship Nurses normally work for six months, then 

take two months off. For them, it's not just a job on the 

open seas...it's a way of life! BON VOYAGE!!!
