The word nursing itself is derived from the Latin nutrire which means "to nourish".
Definition of nursing:
‘The unique function of a nurse is to assist an individual sick or well, in the performance of those activities
contributing to health and its recovery( or peaceful death), that he would perform unaided if he had the
necessary will, strength, knowledge and to do this in such a way that individual will get independence as rapidly
as possible.’

nursing, at hospital level and at the community level. Nursing is interpreted in different ways by different

them for their duties as nursing care professionals. This education is provided to nursing students by
experienced nurses and other medical professionals who have qualified or experienced for educational tasks.
