I still call myself a nurse too. I just use a word I prefer. Don't forget,
*rachwI'* doesn't only mean nurse. It means "one who strengthens, one who
invigorates, one who fortifies". *rachwI'* could be a counselor, a friend, a
religious leader, etc.. Just like QelHom can mean several different things.
There is no literal translation for nurse that I am aware of. There are only
words to describe the concept of nurse.
