Progression from enrolled to registered nurse (2): Charting the conversion.
Part 2 of the study focuses on the three value instruments mentioned in part 1 (Hembrough & Sheehan 1989). The students were asked to complete the three value-oriented tasks on seven occasions throughout the duration of the course. The data obtained provided some evidence regarding the stability of the students' values. The study also identifies and comments upon the most persistently and popularly chosen value descriptors. Cameos relating to the professional and personal self-perceptions of each student are also presented.
