Who do you think you are?
This article examines the findings of a survey of readers of the RCN Publishing Company specialist journals, which cover settings such as gerontology, mental health and emergency care. The survey provides a snapshot of the profession and highlights differences between nurses in each field: their ages, working practices, concerns and aspirations. The survey found that the older people specialty has disproportionately high numbers of older professionals, in the same way that the emergency care and mental health specialties have high numbers of younger nurses.
