Hi mido- welcome to English Forums.

This is fine:
The nurse helps the doctor and the patients.

Thanks vsuresh. I know that "The nurse helps the doctor and the patients" is the natural sentence. I just want to know if it is possible to say: The nurse helps the doctor and helps the patients.

Yes. Many things are possible, although some will sound odd or unnatural.
eg The nurse helps the doctor and the nurse helps the patients.
