Mary Peterson l1 Abstract Developing an awareness of professionalism: nursing in Australia,1.899 - 7975 This thesis examines the changing concerns and aspirations of general nurses in Australia from 1899 to 7975. It is shown that the first nurses' associations were developed under doctors' direction; how between the 1920s and World War Two rivalry and hostility developed between the longer established associations and the emerging nurses' unions. The thesis then shows how in the post-war years, nurses' concerns began to focus on the basic education nurses were then receiving. These concerns became more vigorously expressed when in the 1960s nurses began to claim that they should be accorded the status of professionals in the health care team. They arguecl that to ensure this status nursing education should be provided in tertiary educational institutions. This thesis further argues that nurses would not have been able to claim professional status had not the concept of professionalism changed to admit the new technological occupations which had developed since World War Two. An analysis of the writing on professionalism from the early twentieth century until the 1.970s is given as a background to show how this intellectual debate influenced the attitude of Australian nurses. Finally, the thesis considers nursing as a predominantly women's occupation in the light of the discussion on professionalism, and describes the changes of the community's ltl image of the nurse, which has included the Angel of Mercy, the battle-axe and the sex-pot. To illustrate the description of these changes, a number of illustrations are included which are taken from sources over the period covered by the thesis. 1V Acknowledgements I am indebted to a number of people and institutions, without whose help the research for this thesis would have been much more difficult. I make special mention for access to their archives of the Australian Nursing Federation (formerly the Royal Australian Nursing Federation), the New South Wales Nurses' Association, the College of Nursing (Australia) and the New South Wales College of Nursing. The librarians and archivists of the Australian Archives Brighton, the Archives of Business and Labour (Canberra), the Australian War Memorial, the Mitchell Library and the Mortlock Library gave high quality personal service, for which I am most thankful. I am particularly grateful to a large number of individual nurses for their interest and support, especially the twenty nurses who consented to be interviewed and who were extremely generous with their time. I intend to place the interview transcipts in the Mortlock Library when they are completed. Particular mention must be made of VI List of illustrations Chapter 2. Fig. 1.

Annie had started nursing later than many girls, having spent some years in domestic service before beginning in 1923 as a probationer at Tumby Bay Hospital, which had about ten beds. As was usual for nurses at small country hospitals, Annie transferred to the Royal Adelaide Hospital at the beginning of her second year (7924) to finish her training. Although initially terrified by the hospital hierarchy, and especially in awe of "anything in a white coat, even the barber",l she soon settled into the routine. Lectures on basic nursing were given by a sister in the nurses' home. Doctors also gave lectures for nurses at the university. Attendance was compulsory, and Annie grumbled about having to get up after night duty in order to attend them in her time off. Like her friends, she did not look too far into the future, but did not expect to work as a nurse all her life. "I think 'sufficient unto the day' was my motto always. Towards the end of my training ... I wanted to get away from the hospital. That was about the pinnacle of my ambition."2 Nearly thirty years later, in August 1,955, V.H.3 began her training at Grafton Base Hospital in NSW.

  • Origen De La Enfermería En El Cine: El Género Histórico-Documental Y Biográfico
    ORIGEN DE LA ENFERMERÍA EN EL CINE: EL GÉNERO HISTÓRICO- DOCUMENTAL Y BIOGRÁFICO José Siles González Universidad de Alicante INTRODUCCIÓN El cine y las películas constituyen una herramienta fundamental para transmitir los fe- nómenos humanos en toda su complejidad, sin renunciar a ninguna de las dimensiones que intervienen en los acontecimientos. Ya Terencio y Shakespeare formularon la famosa frase: «Nada de lo humano me es ajeno». La enfermedad, el dolor, la muerte forman parte de la na- turaleza humana y, más tarde o temprano, de una u otro forma, acaban arribando a la existen- cia de todos los seres humanos que experimentan sus vivencias de forma tan diversa como compleja; es decir, mediante un determinado tipo de estética experiencial. Al cine, nada de lo humano le es ajeno y, particularmente, aquellos fenómenos vinculados a situaciones que producen cambios notables en quienes las viven (enfermedades, dolencias, pérdidas, etc.). Carper (1999) incluyó la dimensión estética como la cuarta integrante de los cuatro niveles del conocimiento enfermero (empírico-científico, ético, personal y estético). Otros autores desarrollaron modelos basándose en estos diferentes patrones y reinterpretando el conoci- miento estético desde las necesidades tanto del paciente como de la práctica profesional de enfermería partiendo de la base de la pertinencia de la estética ante situaciones –como el sufrimiento ante la enfermedad– donde el pensamiento subjetivo adquiere una gran intensi- dad (Chinn, 1994). Debido a su potencial de configuración ideológica (Lebel, 1973), el cine ha desempeña- do un papel determinante en el desarrollo de clichés, estereotipos y en una amplia gama de modelado de todos aquellos asuntos que forman parte de la realidad histórica.

  • The Practice of Registered Nurses in Rural and Remote Areas of Australia: Case Study Research
    The practice of Registered Nurses in rural and remote areas of Australia: Case study research Nicola Lisa Whiteing BSc (Hons), MSc (Distinction), PGDip HE, RN, ANP, RNT A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Central Queensland University April 2019 Abstract This study aimed to delineate the roles and responsibilities of Registered Nurses (RNs) working in rural and remote areas of Australia and to explore the clinical and educational preparation required to fulfil such roles and responsibilitie . Whilst much research exists surrounding rural and remote nursing, few studies have looked in depth at the roles and responsibilities and necessary preparation for rural and remote nursing. Indeed, much of the literature encompasses rural and remote nurse data within the wider metropolitan workforce. There is limited research which clearly defines the rural and remote populations being studied. This study, however, clearly delineates those nurses working in rural and remote locations by the Australian Standard Geographical Classification – Remote Areas system (ASGC-RA). It is known that nursing is facing a workforce crisis with many nurses due to retire in the next ten to 15 years. It is also known that this is worse in rural and remote areas in which the average age of the workforce is higher and there are issues with recruitment and retention of nurses. Thus, there is a need to understand the practice of RNs, preparation for the role and challenges that need to be addressed in order that such workforce issues can be addressed. The study was carried out utilising Yin’s case study research design.

But we are confident we can get over the next few months. All we ask is that you keep on spreading the word about the channel in any way you can. Our audiences are strong with 4 million viewers per week , but it’s spreading the word that’s going to help us get over this. Can you believe it Talking Pictures TV is FIVE Years Old later this month?! There’s some very interesting selections in this months newsletter.

CHA welcomes an independent Review into Nursing Education in Australia, noting that this is the first significant review of education to be conducted in over a decade. CHA is a significant employer of the nursing workforce in Australia, with substantial contributions to nursing education and training. CHA is Australia’s largest non-government grouping of health, community, and aged care services accounting for approximately 10% of hospital-based healthcare in Australia. Our members also provide around 30% of private hospital care, 5% of public hospital care, 12% of aged care facilities, and 20% of home care and support for the elderly.

CHA members report a large variation in work preparedness of newly graduated nurses. Improving this variation necessitates changes be made to enrolment and graduation requirements of nursing students. CHA and its members strongly recommend the introduction of standardisation in enrolment requirements for both domestic and international students entering nursing education.
