Nursing is a health profession responsible for the continuous care of people who are sick, injured, disabled, or dying. It also encourages health among individuals, families, and communities. Nurses typically work in hospitals, specialized medical clinics, public health centers, schools, and other community settings and serve active roles in research, management, policy discussions, and patient advocacy. Depending on education, training, qualifications, and local regulations, some nurses can provide primary care or specialty services, including diagnosing and treating medical conditions.
