Nurses are healthcare professionals trained to provide direct care, comfort, and support to patients in hospitals, clinics, and home settings. The traditional nurse's cap and white uniform shown here became iconic symbols of nursing throughout the 20th century, though modern nursing dress codes have evolved considerably. The red cross, universally recognized as a symbol of medical care and humanitarian service, connects the figure to broader traditions of health-centered compassion that span cultures and centuries.
