5 Read the poem and say what nurses must do:
Nurses Must Be Angels by Profession
Nurses must be angels by profession,
Under the direction of their gods.
Restoring peace to those immersed in pain,
Sustaining life in those life can't sustain,
Each nurse each day must elevate the odds,
Skilled in love's most practical expression.
