nursing science

A creation from nosocomus "an attendant on the sick, a sick-nurse", I'd say, since there wasn't any record that I could find of a verb nosocomere.

agree Joseph Brazauskas : Correct. 'Nosokomein' means 'to tend the sick' at Diodorus Siculus 14.71, as elsewhere. Cf. LSJ s.v.

Of course, but in Greek, not in Latin. To my knowledge nosokomein doesn't have a gerund ;-).
