title: Change, revolt and the student nurse.
abstract: Nurse education is facing great changes which challenge traditional methods of training and educating student nurses. Project 2000, college amalgamation and links with universities have coincided with a drive towards increasing opportunities for nurses to achieve graduate status and generally raise the academic status of nursing as a profession. The student nurses caught up in these changes must be more than passive recipients of information, or dissatisfaction will occur. The author considers the unsettling effect of change on students and, through examination of factors such as teachers' attitudes and adult education, concludes that student participation in programme planning and policy-making must become more widespread of educators are to avoid dissatisfaction turning to revolt.
