A kick up the ballot

Article Abstract:

Only 16% of people bothered to vote in the last UKCC election in 1992, however, the elected body of the UKCC will wield considerable power over the way that the nursing profession is regulated, and over issues such as nurse prescribing, health care assistant regulation and shared training. Council members need to have energy, commitment and courage to tackle these major issues. Nurses need to register their vote if they care at all about the way their profession is heading.

Degree of scepticism

Article Abstract:

The move towards an all-graduate nursing profession may not be desirable or effective in preparing nurses sufficiently for skills needed beyond the year 2000. Project 2000 is now regarded as simply a stepping stone to the ultimate target of a graduate profession. Nurses now are intellectually able and research orientated, but the future may lie with increased numbers of health care assistants, which nurses must accept as an inevitable price of Project 2000.
