The Invisible Professionals: English School Nursery Nurses Talk about Their Jobs.
Robins, Vivien; Silcock, Peter
European Early Childhood Education Research Journal, v9 n1 p23-40 2001
Views of 110 English school nursery nurses were studied to discover how the caregivers assess the nature and demands of their jobs. Findings confirm a need to eliminate nursery nurses' role-confusion, and to halt present trends toward de-professionalization through a public valuing and clarification of the nature of the nursery nurses' role in schools.
