''Nursing Times''

An editorial comment in 1932 argued against a paper presented at the National Association for the Prevention of [[Tuberculosis]] conference. The speaker had claimed that recreation and lack of sleep put young people at risk of TB. ''Nursing Times'' was unconvinced. ‘An occasional late night spent at the cinema or in the dance-hall hurts nobody – on the contrary it supplies a needed mental fillip.’

=== ''Nursing Times'' during the 1940s ===
War brought new clinical challenges to health professionals – mainly in the shape of traumatic injuries they would rarely if ever see in peacetime. Like their medical colleagues nurses needed to learn quickly how to care for these injuries, and ''Nursing Times''
An article in 1941 discussed the treatment of war burns, explaining the pathological processes involved in burn injuries and the shock precipitated in many severely burned patients. It also advised how to care for patients in primary shock: ‘Patients are often very apprehensive. They think they are going to die or be disfigured for life. A sympathetic, tactful and firm nurse will often quickly overcome these fears and enable the patient to get some sleep.’

''Nursing Times'' became available at newsagents for the first time in 1951 and its price rose by 50% to 6d (2.5p) and an average issue now contained 90 pages.
In 1957, ''Nursing Times'' editor Marjorie Wenger contributed to a lively debate over the role of nursing which had been discussed in ''[[The Lancet]]''. She said that real nursing involved the ‘care of a patient as a whole person and is not necessarily confined to the bedside’.
The image of nursing in the 1950s still caught the public attention as it does now.

This prompted many interesting suggestions including dispensing with nurses’ paper caps, reducing spending on advertising for nurses, and lists to be given to ward sisters with prices of all supplies and cheaper alternatives to them.

In the midst of nationwide industrial action taking place in 1988, a ''Nursing Times'' editorial by [[Niall Dickson]] said: ‘Action must involve not a few thousand but hundreds of thousands and, above all, it must be targeted at the government without so much as harming a hair on a single patient’s head.’

Early in the new millennium
In 2004 ''Nursing Times'' ran a Fairness on Fees campaign to force the NMC to think again on its proposal to increase the three-year registration fee from £60 to £144. Around 13,000 nurses wrote to ''Nursing Times'' in support of the campaign and these were presented to the NMC. The fee rise was reduced to £129 as a result, an estimated saving of £10m for the nursing workforce.
