Hi Jeremy
Now that the inevitable debate has started about the reasons, I couldn't agree more. I remember the first P2000 nurses just starting during my training and thinking how much of a shift it was from the vocational training that we were undergoing.

Subject: Re: [OCC-HEALTH] NMC News on revalidation for Nurses
Hey Lindsey, like you I trained in the mid 80's, whats missing now is that most of the care in our training was given by student nurses. I remember being part of a ward team that included 3 first years, 3 second years, 2 third years and 2 or 3 staff nurses , who ran the ward. When we moved nurse training into colleges 2/3 of the workforce was removed from the acute setting and replaced with 1/3 health care assistants. We wanted to be there and suceed, it was part of our training and we had to suceed to qualify. We didn't just turn up to do a job that is not too well paid. I realise this is a simplistic view but one I believe is very relevant to the crisis in the NHS today.
Rgds,
Jeremy
