Modern nursing began to develop in the 19th century as a moral practical component of patient care, and in the second half of the 20th century, it affirmed itself as a separate occupation. Lifting nursing education to the academic level has paved the way for further development of nursing, and nursing affirms and defines itself as an autonomous profession, and nursing ethics as a separate discipline. Nurses did not allow the scientific rise of nursing education to the academic level to lose the "core" of the nursing profession - care for the patients. In the care of the patient, their families have an important role in the measurement which modern medicine and health allow that. Nurses and families have to cooperate in health care for the patients.
