K., Satisfying and Stressful Situations in Basic Programs in Nursing Education, Bureau of Publications, Teachers College, Columbia University, New York, 1964, report that incidents described by students indicated that the atmosphere of the school and the hospital was perceived as having a strong authoritarian component. Students wrote of being treated as adolescent girls by most school regulations, while at the same time, mature and responsible behavior was expected of them in the hospital. The most frequent complaints concerned the rigidity of residence regulations.
