Shame they dont still train nurses like this. One thing is certain:- learning on the job, by doing, produced a far superior grade of R.N. These days, old school trained R.N's are highly sought after
In the USA this type of hands on training still is given to LPNs. They hit the floor as new graduates ready to care for patients. Runs are now paper pushers and managers more than ready care givers in many ways. Although they do take positions they train for quite well that are at a higher level than LPns.
takes me back Jan 5th 1977 my training days..
Q.E Student Nurses group 263, and it was in fact September 1978 when they began filming over a few months finishing in '79.
Nice video. Is nice how they differentiate between the student nurse and the RN. Blue and white hehe
To be honest, it was all about 'the hat'. Every student Nurse desperately wanted the white starched long hat when qualifying, far more than the white dress.
can we realy consider this 1979 since back in them days most of eurup like the uk and britin wear 20 years behind most other countries that hade money
Wow did they not have gloves in 1979. They need to do this at all nursing schools now I’m legally blind and I can tell you that people don’t even understand what it is it’s really sad .
I love Service dogs Back in the day before the aid outbreak not a lot of people used gloves because they didn't get the risk of contracting a illness or so they thought
Of course we understood then about contracting blood borne viruses etc ! We risk assessed the need for gloves, too often nowadays they're worn unnecessarily. We washed our hands properly, which is something that 'got lost ' when glove wearing for everything came in. Recently the importance of hard washing had to be almost rediscovered and re taught .
