Abstract

In order to be able to develop such vast theme like nursing in its essencial human condition it is necessary to retrace it not only from theoretical notions but from ideas like care, human condition and essence.

In this article it is argued that the nursinf personnel has necessarily to be provided, by the Academy, with a clear understanding of nursing as a philosophically based art, thus avoiding any discrepancy between theory and praxis.

Beside, it provides a rapid overlook of the ";care";, concept until it envolves into nursing profession.

 Key words: Nursing care, Life conditions, Nursing like a profession, Human condition.
