Nursing is humanistic profession concerned with providing care to individuals, families and communities, to maintain or recover their optimal health.

Historically, Florence Nightingale is known as the first nurse in the world. However, nursing was older than that; it goes back to the Sahabiat who were caring of injured victims during war. Nursing profession is vital and there is a demand for nurses all over the world and in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
