nursing

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'looking after the sick' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'nuns' rig designed' is the wordplay.
'designed' is an anagram indicator (designed with the letters).
'nuns'+'rig'='nunsrig'
'nunsrig' with letters rearranged gives 'NURSING'.

'for' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for nursing that I've seen before include "Caring profession" , "now a graduate profession" , "Medical vocation" , "Caring career" , "Feeding baby" .)
