Rogers defined nursing as a humanistic science for maintaining and promoting health, preventing illness, caring for and rehabilitating the sick and the disabled.
Nursing encompasses autonomous and collaborative care of individuals of all ages, families, groups and communities, sick or well and in all settings. Nursing includes the promotion of health, prevention of illness, and the care of ill, disabled and dying people. Advocacy, promotion of a safe environment, research, participation in shaping health policy and in patient and health systems management, and education are also key nursing roles.
Public health protects the health of everyone, and community health protects the health of everyone in a particular community.
