Propose at home to nurse (6)
I believe the answer is:
intend
'propose' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'at home to nurse' is the wordplay.
'at' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'home' becomes 'in' ('he's home' can mean 'he's in').
'to nurse' becomes 'tend' (tend can mean to nurse or look after).
'in'+'tend' is 'INTEND'.
(Other definitions for intend that I've seen before include "Purport" , "Have as purpose or plan" , "Tinned (anag.)" , "1 dn [DESIGN]" , "Have as purpose or resolve" .)
