Experiencing practice : an exploration of the constructed meaning of nursing in the community

  • Susan Carr

    Abstract

    Recent developments in nurse education, principally that pre-registration programmes should prepare nurses to practice in hospital and community settings, afford a 'window of opportunity' to make comparison between nurses educated to practice in the community at both first level and post-registration levels. An ontological perspective provided a framework for exploring 'knowing' nursing in the community context, juxtaposing student and community health nurse accounts of their lived experience.
