     Nursing finds its origins in the very earliest of times when referring to a nursing mother, as in the "wet nurse." It comes from the Latin word, "nutrire" which means "to nurture." The English word, "nurse," used first in the 13th century, went through many changes before it became the word we recognize today. Earlier spellings of the word were "norrice," "nurice" and "nuourice." Before the 20th century, when the term "nurse" was used in non-English writings to refer to providers of health care, especially during wartime, those caretakers were typically men.

The Faculty of LaGuardia Community College Nursing Program encourage both men and women to seriously consider choosing nursing as their career of choice.  For more about men in nursing, Click --->HERE
