The British apprenticeship model of nurse training, developed under
Florence Nightingale's influence from 1860 at St Thomas's Hospital,
gained national and world-wide recognition. Its end was heralded
with the publication of the last national syllabus from the General
Nursing Council for England and Wales in 1977. This apprenticeship
model, a crucial part of the history of British health care for
over a century, is the subject of this book. Primary evidence, much
of it original, is gained from Parliamentary debates and reports,
syllabuses, long neglected nursing textbooks, major governmental
and professional reports, and the voices of nurses themselves
expressed through their professional journals. Primary sources are
systematically re-examined and contextually interpreted in the
light of new evidence. The study in particular interprets the
contemporary attitudes and moral values underpinning the
apprenticeship system, especially the place of vocation. The
reasons for the ending of this system, arising in part from the
cultural shifts of the 1960s, are explained in relation to this
historical moral context. The reader sees how the
self-understanding of the profession shifts, with much tension and
disagreement, as mores change. The book fills a major gap in the
history of nurse training, by giving a sustained account of the
apprenticeship model of nursing in context, and charting changing
values away from the historic vocational tradition. Its copious use
of primary sources will make this a key text for nurses, historians
and policy makers.
