Florence Nightingale defined nursing as having “charge of the personal health of somebody… and what nursing has to do… is to put the patient in the best condition for nature to act upon him,” (ANA). Virginia Henderson went on to describe the practice, “Nurses help people, sick or well, to do those things needed for health or a peaceful death that people would do on their own if they had the strength, will or knowledge,” (ANA).
By definition, Nursing is the protection, promotion and optimization of health and abilities, prevention of illness and injury, alleviation of suffering through the diagnosis and treatment of human response, and advocacy in the care of individuals, families, communities and populations (ANA).
