Trends reflected by Department of Health and Social Security statistics on the nursing workforce are examined and the ratios between grades discussed. Recruitment into nursing degree courses in the UK is considered in relation to overall recruitment into nursing. The somewhat ambiguous position of nursing degree courses in the UK leads into consideration of policy statements by the universities and the nursing profession. The importance of such policies is emphasized in the current financial climate, as are the potential contributions of university departments to professional debate, for example standards of care. Comparisons are drawn between the goals of courses involving full-time studentships as opposed to part-time apprenticeships and the present boundaries between these noted, especially in relation to the expanding roles of courses. On-going research into the preparation of nurse-tutors in the UK is mentioned, together with a preliminary analysis of the academic basis in the biological sciences possessed by learners and tutors. Out of this is derived a suggestion that the present-day shortage of nurse teachers could be helped by varying the existing patterns of recruitment, especially involving subject specialists in the biological, behavioural and social sciences.
对卫生与社会保障部关于护理人员队伍的统计数据所反映的趋势进行了研究,并讨论了各职级之间的比例。结合英国护理专业的整体招生情况,对英国护理学位课程的招生情况进行了考量。英国护理学位课程略显模糊的地位引发了对大学和护理专业政策声明的思考。在当前的财政环境下,此类政策的重要性以及大学部门对专业辩论(如护理标准)的潜在贡献得到了强调。对全日制学生课程与非全日制学徒课程的目标进行了比较,并指出了两者目前的界限,特别是与课程不断扩展的角色相关的界限。文中提到了英国正在进行的关于护士教师培养的研究,以及对学习者和教师所具备的生物科学学术基础的初步分析。由此得出一项建议,即改变现有的招聘模式,特别是引入生物、行为和社会科学领域的学科专家,可能有助于缓解目前护士教师短缺的问题。
