nurses work in many places. some work in schools. some work in doctors' offices, clinics, and hospitals.
they check blood pressure and pulse rates. they take temperatures. they give injections and immunizations. some check vision and hearing.
not all nurses are female. many are male.
some nurses help take care of animals, not people.
nurses often work long hours. nurses have to work on holidays, at night, and on the weekends, because people are hurt or sick and need their help.
ask your child what they think a nurse does.
encourage your child to use their imagination during playtime. maybe nurse barbie needs to take care of some sick baby dolls or plush animals.
a nurse is an important career. this barbie is part of the "you can be anything" line of products.
