Have an inclination to be a nurse (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tend

I believe this is a triple definition!

'have an inclination' is the first definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'to be' is the second definition.
(tending is a kind of being)

'a nurse' is the third definition.
(tend can mean to nurse or look after)

(Other definitions for tend that I've seen before include "Head" , "Look after (a patient)" , "Incline, lean" , "Be predisposed, or care for" , "Be inclined - look after" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
