{{main|Timeline of nursing history}}

{{see also|Category:Nurses|Category:Nursing museums}}

The modern era has seen the development of [[Bachelor of Science in Nursing|nursing degrees]] and nursing has numerous [[nursing journal|journals]] to broaden the knowledge base of the profession. Nurses are often in key management roles within health services and hold research posts at universities.

 

The authority for the practice of nursing is based upon a social contract that delineates professional rights and responsibilities as well as mechanisms for public accountability. In almost all countries, [[nursing practice]] is defined and governed by law, and entrance to the profession is regulated at national or state level.

In general terms, the [[nursing process]] is the method used to [[Nursing assessment|assess]] and [[Nursing diagnosis|diagnose]] needs, [[Nursing care plan|plan]] and implement interventions, and evaluate the outcomes of the care provided.

Currently, two paradigms exist in nursing, the totality paradigm and the simultaneity paradigm.
