Reference:
What does everyone think of the requirement of a degree for nurses these days?
I think ( and as a qualified nurse I think I can say this) that nurses should do a 3 year programme, This should be practice based. They need to learn the basics and they need to learn them well.
They need to learn how to run a ward and how to manage a group of patients. They need to learn how to spot potential problems and how to deal with them,.
In short they need to learn what it is to be a nurse.
They need good knowledge and teaching of A and P and they need to know how to form a rationale for practice.
They need to learn how disease affects the body - physically and mentally,
Then, when they qualify, THAT is the time to hone their craft.
That is the time to do the degrees and the courses.
THAT is how we will get nursing back on parr.
IMO of course.
