About Nursing


The nursing profession is as diverse and complex as the individuals who practice it. There’s no one way to be a nurse, and no one type of person who can represent the profession, but all nurses do share a common set of over-arching goals, values, and skills; and a rich history too.

These articles and images explore the meaning, scope, and diversity of this incredible profession. Nursing is a field with an inspiring past, a rich present, and a promising future.
