Both art and science. Nursing combines the science of understanding how the body works with the art of being kind and understanding what patients need emotionally.
Prevention matters too. Nurses don't just treat illness, they also teach people how to stay healthy, exercise, eat well, and avoid getting sick in the first place.
Compassionate presence. One of the most important things nurses do is simply be there for patients when they're scared or suffering, listening and caring with their whole heart.
