Nursing has existed in every culture in various forms. In the English language, nursing originally referred to a woman employed to suckle and care for a young child. This definition developed into a broader meaning of someone who looks after another, and the foundation of modern professional nursing was founded with Florence Nightingale’s book called Notes on Nursing (written in an effort to improve the conditions of wounded soldiers during the Crimean war).
