Crossword Genius

Promote nurse (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

foster

This clue is a double definition.

'promote' is the first definition.
(I know that foster is a type of promote)

'nurse' is the second definition.
(I've seen this before)

(Other definitions for foster that I've seen before include "Promote, nurture" , "Promote, encourage" , "Nurse -- nursery rhyme doctor" , "Encourage; bring up" , "Promote, cherish" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph and The Guardian.
