Is being a nurse an hospitalist job?

A hospitalist is a physician who specializes in the care of hospitalized patients. While nurses play an important role in the care of hospitalized patients, they are not considered to be hospitalists. Hospitalists are typically board-certified in internal medicine or family practice and have completed additional training in hospital medicine. They are responsible for the medical care of hospitalized patients, including diagnosis, treatment, and coordination of care. Nurses, on the other hand, are responsible for providing nursing care to patients, such as administering medications, monitoring vital signs, and providing emotional support.
