The profession voted most trusted for two straight decades by people who lie about everything else.
means The profession and practice of caring for the sick, injured, and vulnerable — and more broadly, the act of tending, feeding, or carefully fostering something into health.
from From the verb 'nurse,' which traces back through Old French 'norrice' to Latin 'nutricia,' meaning 'a wet-nurse' or 'one who nourishes,' from 'nutrire,' to feed or suckle. The same Latin root that gives us 'nutrition' and 'nourish' lurks beneath the word — so to nurse is, at its core, to feed something toward life, whether a newborn, a wound, a grudge, or a single drink across a long evening.
