A third of the stroke patients die, one third remains completely dependent on someone else's help, and one third achieves good recovery or retains a lower degree of disability. The stroke presents as an emergency situation, and therefore the speed of receiving, processing and treating the patient is a very important. The patient is received in specialized units for the treatment of stroke. The entire process of receiving a patient on the ward, treatment, rehabilitation and discharge is monitored by a nurse/technician. With the patient 24 hours a day, it monitors all the changes and complications that are occurring and prevents them in time, preventing the symptoms from getting worse.

Health care is very complex and depends on the general condition of the patient. The nurse/technician is an independent healthcare provider. A nurse/technician is expected to provide the highest possible quality health care.

Most of the time the nurse/technician spends in health care, sharing the therapy, giving proper nutrition and hygiene, and educating patients and their families.
