Morphology
The meaning 'professional care given by a trained nurse' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'nursing' (the practice/profession of caring for patients) with 'care' (the act of providing treatment or supervision). This is a compositional, non-idiomatic noun phrase following a common professional + service pattern found across languages, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily infer the MWE meaning.
Etymology
Nursing care comes from the older idea of a nurse as someone who 'feeds' and 'protects' a child and gives close, gentle attention. That's why nursing care today means the hands-on, constant help a trained nurse gives to help a patient recover.
