The recent decision from the Nursing and Midwifery Council to make nursing a graduate profession has for some been the culmination of over a century of expectation. From the 1890s there were voices within the nursing and medical professions that nursing should be taught in universities. The purpose of this article is to explore two attempts in the mid-20th century to establish a degree in nursing at an English University; neither of which was successful. It will be demonstrated that there were too many conflicting ideas and personalities for these to have been achieved. The doctors wanted skilled assistants, many in the nursing profession considered that nurses should have 'common-sense, courtesy and kindness', in that order, the universities considered nursing to be a practical vocation, and the governments did not want the increased spending that such a move would necessitate.
最近，护理和助产学委员会决定将护理专业提升为研究生专业，这对一些人来说是一个多世纪以来的期望的结果。从 19 世纪 90 年代开始，护理和医疗行业内部就有人认为护理应该在大学教授。本文旨在探讨 20 世纪中叶在英国一所大学建立护理学位的两次尝试；但都没有成功。事实证明，由于存在太多相互冲突的想法和个性，这些尝试都没有成功。医生希望有熟练的助手，许多护理行业的人认为护士应该“有常识、礼貌和善良”，按照这个顺序，大学认为护理是一种实用职业，政府也不希望因此而增加支出。
