Nursing is the study of the direct personal care, support and condition monitoring (usually accompanied by frequent “hands-on” activities) of those who are sick, injured, disabled, or elderly.

This includes learning about human anatomical and physiological processes, human growth, development, and behavior as well as teamwork, observation and referral, responding to emergencies, health care facility operations, philosophy and management, diet and nutrition, etc. Some of the specialties under nursing and related services are mid-wifery, occupational nursing, public health nursing, school nursing, private duty nursing and nurse practitioner.
