a nurse's mission was considered to be driven by altruism and empathy for the sick, especially the sick people.

SR. MARY BERENICE'S NURSE'S PRAYER

I am thine own, great Healer,help thou me to serve Thy sick in humble charity; I ask not thanks nor praise, but only light to care for them in every way aright. My charges, sick and well, they all are thine

" nursing is possessed of a spiritual quality, in that its primary aim is to serve humanity, not only by giving curative care to the bodies of the sick and injured, but by serving the needs of the mind and spirit as well".
