Just the ticket?
Article Abstract:
Nurse educators are concerned about the lack of funds and inadequate staffing and resources available for nursing libraries. Out of 74 nurse educators surveyed, half believed their libraries to be inadequately prepared for Project 2000, with five feeling the libraries were not prepared at all. The educators generally believed that their students received a poorer library service than the educators themselves. Seventeen educators believed they were themselves offered excellent opening hours, while 16 believed the opening hours for students were poor. Sixteen educators felt their students were given a poor service for librarian availability, while only 11 felt they themselves received a poor service. Just seven educators felt there was an excellent selection of books. One in three educators felt there was a poor computer service for both themselves and their students.

Costume drama: just what is it about nurses' uniforms that gets everyone so hot under the collar
Article Abstract:
Modern nursing uniforms began with Florence Nightingale after the Crimean war when she began introducing the uniform hierarchy. Towards the end of the 19th century each hospital and nursing school adopted a uniform, influenced by the domestic servants' uniforms and fashions of the day. Nurses uniforms gained legal protection under the Nurses Registration Act in 1919, and a 20 year debate about a national uniform was prompted by the birth of the NHS in 1948. Uniforms have undergone many changes and some specialist nurses, nurse practitioners and mental health nurses have abandoned them altogether. Patients are often bewildered by the plethora of uniforms today.

Fresh look at rehabilitation of hip-replacement patients
Article Abstract:
A pilot rehabilitation scheme in the UK discharges hip- and knee-replacement patients into a nursing home for further care. The scheme, funded by the charity IMPACT, took place in April 1996 in Crewe, England, when 17 patients were sent to a nearby nursing home to recuperate. The patients received full support, including occupational therapy and physiotherapy, with care plans supervised by nurses at the homes. The cost-effective scheme was designed to reduce the waiting list for hip replacement beds in hospitals.
