In this paper the first episode of a new Australian hospital 'soap' is used to illustrate that the traditional images of nurses as angels, handmaidens, sex symbols and dragons persist, despite the transfer of preregistration nursing education to the higher education sector in Australia. These images portray nurses as an oppressed group, tyrannised by 'niceness', self sacrifice and horizontal violence. An alternative image is described, that of nurse as enquirer: energetic, curious, autonomous. It is argued that the creation of this image hinges critically on the development of a nursing research culture in clinical practice, the nursing academy and the interface between the two. The benefits of nursing research are described, together with strategies to ensure their realisation. It is also suggested that nurses should cease being 'nice' and compliant with ineffective, oppressive leadership and tolerant of horizontal violence in their workplace.
在本文中，一部新的澳大利亚医院“肥皂剧”的第一集被用来表明，尽管澳大利亚将注册前护理教育转移到了高等教育领域，但护士作为天使、女仆、性象征和悍妇的传统形象依然存在。这些形象将护士描绘成一个受压迫的群体，被“友善”、自我牺牲和横向暴力所欺压。文中描述了另一种形象，即作为探寻者的护士：精力充沛、好奇、自主。有人认为，这一形象的塑造关键取决于临床实践、护理学术界以及两者之间的界面中护理研究文化的发展。文中描述了护理研究的益处以及确保其实现的策略。还建议护士们不应再“友善”，不应再顺从无效、压迫性的领导，也不应再容忍工作场所中的横向暴力。
