When you come to the hospital, you will always see nurses' stations.

A nurses' station is like an information desk. There is one on almost every floor of the hospital. This is where the nurses keep all of your medical information in a folder called a chart. Your doctors and your family can call this desk and ask your nurse questions about how you are feeling. You can go to the nurses' station to ask your own questions, too.

If you are in bed and you need something from a nurse, there is a cool button in your room that you can press to call this desk directly…without getting up!
