- Hospitals: Here, nurses provide acute care, manage complex conditions, and support surgical procedures. - Clinics: Nurses in clinics often focus on preventive care, routine check-ups, and managing chronic conditions. - Long-term Care Facilities: These nurses care for elderly or disabled patients who require ongoing assistance with daily activities. - Community Health: Community health nurses work in public health settings, providing health education, vaccinations, and screenings. - Home Health Care: Nurses deliver care to patients in their homes, which can include wound care, medication administration, and chronic disease management.
