We were proud to be nurses: the socialisation of women as student nurses 1946-1961.
Radical changes have taken place in the National Health Service (NHS) during the 1990s, both in relation to management and the training of student nurses. These changes have sometimes highlighted and sometimes obscured that earlier fundamental change - that of the inception of the NHS itself - which had similar far reaching consequences. In this study, the changes brought about by the introduction of the NHS are explored through the experiences of two provincial hospitals, one a former voluntary hospital - Hospital A - and the other a former municipal hospital - Hospital B.
