Professional knowledge and its impact on nursing practice.

There is an increasing debate within nursing regarding the necessity of an all graduate profession. This debate is part of a bigger and more fundamental discussion about the status of nursing that has seriously divided the profession. From time to time professions seek to enhance their status, for whatever reason, by shifting to more prestigious forms of knowledge (Robson 1999). Nursing has long been concerned with raising its professional status and one way to do this is to raise the entry to graduate level. This possibility has recently been suggested once again by the UKCC (Peach 1999). However, such a change could affect the knowledge base that nurses possess which may have potential consequences for nursing practice.
