Summary/Abstract: Could Hippocrates be an ancestor of the nursing profession? The nursing profession brings into practice, in addition to spiritual care, a palpable method of self-healing. The history of medicine, which cannot be separated from the act of nursing and the history of nursing are part of the human history. Practiced from prehistoric times, the art of nursing is universal and can be considered a law of nature. Its recognition as a "useful and unique" profession began in the second half of the 20th century, when "the art of nursing" started to be influenced by the cultural, ethnic and religion specificities of the different ethnic groups.
