Nurse Patient Education is hence a very critical element in any hospital’s program.  Nurse Patient Educators play a pivotal role in ensuring that patients are educated and understand the ramifications of their condition and the proper care leading to full recovery.

Nurses can become certified in this field and fill these important positions in hospitals.  They can meet with patients who are being released and provide important follow up care.

Ultimately an informed patient is more likely to be a healthy patient and good education for the patient is key to that.
