Abstract
Imelda Dyer, Diploma in Higher Education (nursing) student, Leeds College of'Health, West Yorkshire, UK Pre-registration nurse education in the United Kingdom is now well established at the level of Diploma in Higher Education, with the old style of preparation relegated to a fading memory. Initially, students graduating from the diploma courses were in a sense pioneers, they had the task of proving to a somewhat sceptical profession that the new product was an improvement on the old. Change is always slow to happen particularly when an entire culture shift is called for, but the battle against the doubters and sceptics is being won. Nurse Education Today has kept abreast of the change having published a number o f articles, mainly by tutors, extolling the virtues of the diploma curricula and describing teaching and learning methods which give the courses their sophistication and direction. The Editor, being aware that the student voice is particularly important when the outcomes of any educational enterprise are being considered, invited Imelda Dyer, a nursing finalist from Leeds College of Health, to reflect on her training years. This guest editorial is a synopsis o f her views.
