title: Cease fire.
abstract: I am saddened by the correspondence concerning the relevant merits of district and practice nurses precipitated by the letter by Yvonne Salisbury (Nursing Standard week ending May 14, 1988). We have waited so long for a clinical career structure for nurses. Must we now start an endless wrangle about who is more worthy than whom? Surely the most important issue is to ensure a just recognition of each person's skill and experience.
