Power and socialisation

Article Abstract:

Socialisation is the process of achieving membership of a social group. Nurses encounter at least three forms of the process. They become socialised into the teacher/learner group and into the nursing profession, and their clients are socialised into the patient social group. Power is a potent factor within the socialisation process. This is particularly evident in the nursing profession in the realm of training. The balance of power determines what nurses will learn, how they will learn it, and who will be allowed formal entry into the social group.

Partners for the future

Article Abstract:

The UK government is to encourage nurses to take a more flexible, yet committed approach to continuous learning by allowing them to build up a structured and professionally recognized experience portfolio. The Partner's Council will work towards structuring an ongoing education process for nurses in all areas of the profession, ensuring primary care groups are supplied with nurses of the highest calibre.
