In the pages of her publications 'The Nursing Record' and 'The British Journal of Nursing', Mrs Bedford Fenwick portrayed the Poor Law nurses as struggling against the forces of parsimony and ignorance in the persons of the workhouse master and matron. The representation of these women as victims of the system rescued by Mrs Bedford Fenwick disguises their considerable achievements towards improving the quality of care for their deprived patients. This paper examines how the Poor Law nurses seized the opportunity afforded by the campaign for State Registration to further their cause in developing a professional nursing service for a neglected group of patients.
Papua New Guinea has started to change from a hospital based general nurse training to a competency based, university linked, diploma of nursing training program. This paper looks at the development of nurse education in Papua New Guinea. It also briefly outlines the present and proposed courses. The expected benefits and anticipated problems are then discussed and the paper ends with challenges being faced by those involved in nurse education.
My mother, Winsome Daniels nee Wright was born in 1918. She trained and worked at Great Yarmouth General Hospital from 19 March, 1937 until 31 March, 1942 when she married my father. Over the year I had heard many stories of her nursing career but these had never been recorded. However, just after her 80th birthday it seemed appropriate to start writing her experiences down. My mother preferred to recount her past life as a nurse over several weeks without being audio recorded and I have endeavoured to use her words as much as possible. This is an extract from her story about working hours, conditions and training.
