title: Voices - Restore trust in nursing by casting an honest light on us, says Rosemary Cook.
abstract: The poor reputation of nursing with the public continues to make the news. Schoolchildren say they would not consider it as a career. Patients give examples of thoughtless, inadequate or sometimes shocking nursing care. And healthcare quality regulators probe organisations where low nurse numbers or poor morale are undermining standards.
