Once defined as religious vocation or womanly duty, nursing today emphasizes specialized education to support the work of health care. It remains a predominantly female profession despite an increase in male nursing students. Nurses teach preventive care and maintain health, assist medical treatment, aid rehabilitation, and attend the dying. Two-thirds of all nurses work in hospitals with others in public health agencies, nursing homes, offices, schools, and industries. Nurses are also educators, supervisors, administrators, and independent practitioners.
