nurses
Medical care providers
Nurses are healthcare professionals who care for patients—monitoring conditions, administering medications, and assisting physicians.
The term covers various specializations and credentials, from licensed practical nurses to nurse practitioners.
To nurse someone is to care for them through illness: She nursed him back to health.
To nurse a drink is to sip it slowly; to nurse a grievance is to hold onto it.
A nurse also breastfeeds: She nursed the baby until he fell asleep.
