In Ireland, as in many other countries, the education and training
of nurses is undergoing reform and what was a vocation is becoming
a profession." A History of Apprenticeship Nurse Training in
Ireland" traces the progress of nurse education, presenting a new
authoritative and scholarly account of the history of the
traditional system of training in Ireland.
Introduced as part of the reforms of hospital nursing in the late
nineteenth century, apprenticeship nurse training was a vocational
extension of secondary education. It resided outside the mainstream
of higher educational provision and provided nurses with the
knowledge and technical skills for sick nursing. It also functioned
to socialize them into the role of hospital worker and to inculcate
in them nursing's value systems. This system of training provided a
ready supply of skilled, efficient, inexpensive and loyal workers.
Gerard M. Fealy exposes social, cultural, political and economic
factors that have influenced this provision and reform of nurse
training, and demonstrates how these factors have shaped modern
nursing in Ireland. He critically examines current historiography,
bringing the hidden role of nurses and nursing to the fore.
Based on extensive primary sources, this in-depth study is
essential reading for scholars and students of nursing history and
Irish social history.
