Article Abstract:
Training to be a nurse was challenging, according to Gavin Smith, who trained with his wife Geraldine when they were both made redundant from a rubber factory in 1992. They had very little money, and they found it difficult to combine their family life with studying. His wife has found that training to be a nurse has greatly boosted her self-confidence. She has no particular desire for rapid career progression, but her husband would like to go into community nursing or occupational health.
