title: Professional practice concerns.
abstract: When the Union had numerous reports last year of nurses' professional practice being overridden by non-nurses (for instance where nurses work in special schools, doctors' surgeries and boarding schools) we sought advice from the Queensland Nursing Council. As this problem appears to be occurring more frequently again, we publish below for the information of our members the QNC advice provided in June 1996. (While the QNC advice relates specifically to school nurses, the response has relevance for other QNU members.)
