10 Definitions of Nursing
"the act of utilizing the environment of the patient to assist him in his recovery (Nightingale,1860) Notes on Nursing; what it is and what it is not. the knowledge of nursing, or in other words, of how to put the constitution in such a state as that it will have no disease, or that it can recover from disease (ibid) NRS 7/24/2019
