Behind every patient in a hospital is a nurse who had dedicated his or her time to ensuring that the patient was well taken care of. Some nurses can put in as much as up to forty hours a week and some are responsible for multiple patients, so it can be said that nurses are just as hard working as their fellow doctors.
