Nursing schools: dumbing down or reaching up?

Darbyshire, Philip; Thompson, David R.; Watson, Roger

Abstract

Universities and their nursing faculties are changing dramatically. Rather than serving as bastions of knowledge generation, professional innovation, curation and dissemination of knowledge, many have become corporatised monoliths intent on a perverse form of utilitarianism on steroids. Their sole function it seems is to produce commoditised ‘outputs’ that can contribute to the ‘knowledge economy’.
