Crossword Genius

Kind, young volunteer nurse? (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tender

I believe this is a quadruple definition!!

'kind' is the first definition.
(tender can mean kind or thoughtful)

'young' is the second definition.
(similar in meaning)

'volunteer' is the third definition.
(tender can mean to offer or volunteer)

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

(Other definitions for tender that I've seen before include "Affectionate - easily hurt" , "Not hardy (but it may be legal)" , "Compassionate - sore" , "proposal" , "Considerate and solicitous treatment" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
