Defining nursing with a single word...

What Members Are Saying (AI-Generated Summary)

Members are sharing their thoughts and feelings about the nursing profession. Some describe it as challenging, rewarding, and important, while others mention the unpredictability and responsibility that comes with the job. There is also a mix of positive and negative emotions expressed, with some finding it draining or soul-crushing, while others see it as sexy or rewarding.

I am doing an artistic project for nursing, and I am doing a wood carving....in big letters I have "Nursing is..." and the plan is to use single words, or maybe sets of 3-4 words to describe nursing in small text underneath as a list.

What words would you use to complete the sentence "Nursing is...", in either 1 word or under 4 words.

Thanks for the help all, it is greatly appreciated =]

It is impossible to define nursing in one word.

It is a career unlike any other - including medicine.

And every person will have a different word depending upon their experiences and where they have worked.
