title: Professional closure: the case of the professional development of nursing in Rotorua 1840-1934.
abstract: The argument that the development and progress of nursing in Rotorua were influenced by the forces of professional closure, and that nursing practice throughout New Zealand reflected this during the period 1840-1934, is the focus of this thesis. Rotorua provided a unique backdrop against which to examine the professional development of nursing as it encouraged and exerted forces of professional closure.
