Nursing others has been around for as long as humanity has existed. Early practices of health care evolved as a way for groups to survive. Many of these early links between humans and environment was due to superstition and religion. Early evidence suggests that techniques such as mind-body connection, isolation, and banishment from a group, and fumigation were all ways used to manage disease and protect the community. A specialized role as a nurse was not developed in early civilization but human cultures recognized the need for nursing care. During the Greek era, Hippocrates emphasized the rational treatment of sickness as a natural influence rather than it being influenced
