The changing role of the nurse teacher.
This paper concludes a series on the findings from a study on the emerging role of nurse teachers in Project 2000 programmes. The various aspects of the study, including the literature review and methodology, have been previously discussed (Crotty & Butterworth 1992, Crotty 1992, Crotty 1993a,b,c,d). This paper highlights the main findings and suggests recommendations regarding the key issues to be addressed in the future role and preparation of the nurse teacher. The study revealed two major changes which are contrary to the expectations of Project 2000. These are firstly, the teaching of academic subjects by nurse teachers, and secondly, the rejection of clinical teaching involving 'hands on care' by nurse teachers.
