Comment on: Nursing to become degree-only profession
Jarvis states that individuals need to learn new knowledge to prevent the onset of alienation, or anomie, and lifelong learning – even lifelong education – may help them to adjust to cultural changes prelevant in their society. Nurses, practice in an environment, which is constantly changing. It has become vital that one develops own professional knowledge and competence to cope with these demands and the complexities of modern professional practice. The decision to make nursing in the UK a complete graduate profession is something which I would like to see happening world wide. I finished the SEN course back in 1989. I am now in my last year degree in nursing and must say that YES knowledge does make a nurse better in running a ward, to the contrary of what one correspondent has stated. We must continue to build on our previous knowledge.I cannot see why the nurse has to be the 'servant' of other health care professions. We are there to work in collaboration with other professionals. This is the way forward and we must be unite and make our profession as strong as ever. I have years of experience, however to be able to boost my experience I felt the need to upgrade my academic background. To be frank, I cannot see myself at a halt. Nursing is a most beautiful career. Should I be born again......I would repeat to my parents that , "I want to be a nurse!".
