This paper examines the changes in the recruitment pool from which we draw nursing students. In New South Wales, the change in venue from hospital to college institutions has significantly accelerated a change which began more than 20 years ago. College programmes attract more males directly from school and less mature age males than hospital programmes. There is a difference in the socioeconomic level of the household from which nursing draws its recruits in hospital and college programmes. College programmes attract more recruits from lower socioeconomic level households than hospital programmes. In New South Wales, this was found to be particularly so for the female group but not for the male group. From the national perspective, where students had the choice to enter either a hospital or higher education programme to attain a nursing qualification, it was found that there was no difference in the socioeconomic level of the household of origin between students who choose to enter a hospital programme which paid a wage while training and students who choose to enter a higher education programme which offered no such financial reward. This finding remained consistent when the study sample was cross-tabulated by state, gender and age group (young vs mature).
本文考察了我们招收护理专业学生的生源库的变化情况。在新南威尔士州，招生地点从医院转变为院校机构，显著加速了一场始于20多年前的变化。院校项目比医院项目直接从高中招收的男性更多，且招收的大龄男性更少。医院项目和院校项目招收护理专业学生的家庭社会经济水平存在差异。院校项目比医院项目从社会经济水平较低的家庭招收的学生更多。在新南威尔士州，这一情况在女性群体中尤为明显，但在男性群体中并非如此。从全国范围来看，在学生可以选择进入医院项目或高等教育项目以获得护理资格的情况下，发现选择进入培训期间有工资的医院项目的学生和选择进入没有此类经济回报的高等教育项目的学生，其家庭社会经济水平并无差异。当研究样本按州、性别和年龄组（年轻组与大龄组）进行交叉制表时，这一发现依然成立。
