The diminishing role of nurses in hands-on care

Article Abstract:

UK nurses are moving away from the traditional role of carer towards specialist nursing providers, leaving patient care in the hands of nursing assistants. The management of patient's bodily functions has been taken over by nursing assistants, removing one of the key elements of nurses. Many nurses regret the move away from the physical side of the patient/nurse relationship, although nurses are pleased to be able to further their career progression through education.

Although students now spend three times as much time learning under Project 2000, the quality of education has decreased.

Article Abstract:

All nurses and midwives should receive undergraduate preparation. Although the issue is a contentious one at present, such education would create a caring nurse capable of making decisions. This would be due to the combination of nursing care and undergraduate education, which would create a research-minded thinker.
