nursing
Bedside medical profession
Nursing is the profession of caring for the sick, injured, or infirm, typically in healthcare settings under the direction of physicians.
A nurse monitors patients, administers medications, and provides comfort.
Nursing also refers to the act of breastfeeding an infant: She was nursing the baby.
To nurse something is to tend it carefully—a drink, a grudge, an injury back to health.
