While nurses are not the only professionals impacting a patient’s care (pharmacists, physicians, dieticians, therapists, nurse’s aides and others), nurses on the front lines often spend 8-12 hours per shift with their patients. They are key decision-makers and observers who can influence both patient outcomes and patient satisfaction.
