This article explores the key sciences essential in nursing education and practice, including anatomy, physiology, pharmacology, psychology, microbiology, and sociology. Among these, anatomy and physiology are often considered the most critical, as they form the foundation for clinical decision-making and patient assessment. The importance of evidence-based practice and critical thinking, supported by these sciences, is emphasized in modern nursing.
