Can you imagine trying to get that past all the layers of middle management?

My partner trained as a nurse back in the days when you trained in-house and actually learned from the senior nursing staff. The first year was basically learning how to clean !!

But also the ethos and caring principles were carried across along with the actual nursing skills. I don't believe any university training can emulate that.
