Answer 3

Well, people have been nursing others as long as there have been humans, so that question is impossible to answer.  

In medieval times, monasteries often had infirmaries attached to them, and nursing was done by monks and nuns.  In Catholic countries, nursing continued to be a job that was done by nuns, but in England after the reformation, nursing as an occupation seems to have fallen into disrepute, and it was not really restored to a position of respectability until the 19th century.

The woman who revolutionaised nursing practices in England was Florence Nightingale, and it would I think be true to say that she was the first English nurse of the modern era, trained, professional, scientific in her approach to nursing.
