Editors' note

The third Nursing Monograph contains original articles as well as a selection of essays written by St. Vincent's nurses as part of their course requirements in post graduate studies at tertiary level.

Two of the papers report progress and also results of the ward based quality improvement program.

In addition a number of nursing abstracts are reproduced which were presented at The Second St. Vincent's Hospital Campus Research Symposium.

The committee would like to thank Lyn Strauss and Cathie Lawson for helping us type this monograph.
