Die tersiêre opvoedingstaak van die verpleegkundige

Abstract

In modern times emphasis is increasingly laid on the changing circumstances of health services in the Republic of South Africa as well as on the multifaceted role which the professional personnel have to play at medical, nursing and paramedical levels. The nurse-educationist is required to teach in accordance with current philosophy and aims of the educational institutions to which she is attached. Gone are the days when the tutor qualified as a good lecturer by virtue of her extensive scientific experience and insights. Large modern tertiary institutions and progress in the educational field have so changed the picture that the training of tutors today has become a specialised task.
