Nursing students are educated by teachers who are usually dual qualified, being both experienced nurses and educators. Almost all countries worldwide offer nurse education courses relevant to general nursing, mental health nursing and the nursing of sick children. Courses leading to autonomous registration as a nurse typically last three years. Nurse education also provides post-qualification courses in specialist subjects within nursing. During recent decades, in many parts of the developed world, the emphasis on education has replaced the more practically focussed, but often ritualistic, training structure of conventional practitioner preparation. Educational pathways stress a broader awareness of other disciplines allied to medicine, and the utilisation of research when making clinical and managerial decisions. Orthodox training can be argued to have offered a more intense practical skills base, but emphasised the hand maiden relationship with the physician. This is now outmoded, and the impact of nurse education is to develop a confident, inquiring graduate practitioner who contributes to the care team as an equal. However, not all qualification courses yet have graduate status. It is possible to link recent developments in nurse education with feminism and the rising status of women in professional roles elsewhere. Excerpt of "Nurse education."
