This paper reports an ongoing study of the progress of nursing graduates from the University of Birmingham, England. The aim of the research was to follow-up early graduates from the programme, to assess their progress and study feedback indicators that could help further the development of this relatively new programme. The study also aims to contribute to the growing body of knowledge about United Kingdom nursing graduates, following the recent shift of nurse education from Schools/Colleges of Nursing into universities. Due to objection from some quarters as to the value of a university education for nurses, even such a small-scale study is considered to be important. A questionnaire was sent to the first three cohorts of graduates. It revealed interesting findings in relation to work patterns, continuing professional and academic development and perceptions of the value of the degree in practice. The graduates made recommendations regarding changes that might enhance the quality of the Birmingham degree and nursing practice generally.
本文报告了一项对英国伯明翰大学护理专业毕业生发展情况的持续研究。该研究的目的是追踪该项目的早期毕业生，评估他们的发展情况，并研究有助于推动这个相对较新的项目进一步发展的反馈指标。随着近期护士教育从护理学校/学院转移到大学，该研究还旨在为有关英国护理专业毕业生的知识体系的不断增长做出贡献。由于一些方面对护士接受大学教育的价值提出异议，即使是这样一项小规模的研究也被认为很重要。一份调查问卷被发送给了前三批毕业生。调查揭示了有关工作模式、持续专业和学术发展以及对该学位在实践中的价值的看法等有趣的结果。毕业生们就可能提高伯明翰大学学位质量以及总体护理实践质量的变革提出了建议。
