In a state of rapid change, nursing over the last few years has become almost unrecognizable. And the profession, says Cushla Beckingham, has perhaps never been more divided. Some nurses (particularly those too senior to gain entry to tertiary courses) see a great chasm between tertiary-educated nurses and those who give "old-style" nursing care based on intuition. Indeed, the profession does consist of three separate groups--the educators and the practitioners (between which is a large gap) plus nurse managers. For Beckingham, research based on area of practice could be the uniting factor, particularly in the search for cost-cutting programmes, as government funds for medical care diminish with each new budget.
在快速变化的状态下，护理行业在过去几年几乎变得面目全非。库什拉·贝金厄姆说，这个职业可能从未像现在这样分化严重。一些护士（尤其是那些资历过高而无法进入高等教育课程的护士）认为，受过高等教育的护士与那些凭借直觉提供“老式”护理的护士之间存在巨大差距。事实上，这个职业确实由三个不同的群体组成——教育工作者和从业者（两者之间存在很大差距）以及护士管理者。对贝金厄姆来说，基于实践领域的研究可能是团结各方的因素，尤其是在寻求削减成本的方案时，因为随着每一项新预算的出台，政府用于医疗保健的资金都在减少。
