HISTORICAL Prior to the transfer of nursing education to the university sector, nurses were ''trained'' in a course of instruction in hospital nursing schools that awarded a certificate in general nursing. These courses were generally for a three year period, and nurses were paid employees of the parent hospital. Hospitals awarded distinctive badges upon ''graduation''. In addition, state registering authorities awarded a badge of ''registration''. These were generally worn on the uniform collars.
