Matron Ponders the Arrival of Academics and other such outrageous new ideas at #StTwitters
(With what can only described as a jaundiced eye)
"I consider the introduction of so called "Academic" Nursing as probably the worse idea that has ever happened - and I put the blame for this firmly at the feet of the upstarts at the RCN and NMC. I insist that Academia has no part to play in our noble profession.
THE ACADEMIC NURSE HIERARCHY
C/O @PhillipRABall - The Head Porter #StTwitters
"Have you ever heard such nonsense - A Professor of Nursing! - girls, back to the sluice now and let us retake our proper place and identity in the noble provision of feminine led care"
Matron and the Efficiency Office will be implementing "Project 1860" to ensure we return to the cherished values of "Basic & Fundamental" Nursing Care from the Victorian Golden Age.
"Nurse training should be an ideal rounding off to a young woman's education, providing a smooth transition from childhood to motherhood."
Old P & Old P think Matron lost the Plot
"The Schools of Nursing are equally culpable. It should come as no surprise that Educationalists are in favour of the NMC so called Standards. My own School of Nursing boasts more Communists than the BBC."
"I am encouraged, however, by reports from some of my students, that many of our Nurse Tutors are standing up for tradition, and continue to base all their teaching on anecdotal instruction."
"After all, the socialists say you cant expect the new style nurse to stand for Parliament, strike, or become a sociology professor, if she is surrounded by sick people."
