Perspectives
An interesting concept has been considered. Whilst nurses should be continually developing, those stepping out to undertake a full programme of study go through daunting times with feelings of loss of identity, credibility and status. Presentations of verbatim data provides an appreciation of the views of those who participated giving a real sense of worth.
