Note
Only one of nursing's roles can take this plural. The same spelling also serves as the present participle of nurse and as an adjective (a nursing mother, nursing staff), and neither of those ever adds -s. As a count noun it names separate episodes, such as feedings through the night or spells of caring for a patient. For the activity or the profession in general, the uncountable singular does the work.
