Values based recruitment (VBR) incorporates assessment of healthcare students’ personal values using approaches like multiple mini interviews. Students’ experience of adjustment to their values during their programme is conceptualized as a ‘values journey’. Participants described a ‘values journey’ where their values, particularly communication, courage and wanting to make a difference, were both challenged and retained. A ‘values journey’ may begin early in a healthcare student’s education programme. This is important to recognize so that appropriate interventions designed to support students in higher education and clinical practice can be implemented.

Nursing is stereotypically known as a caring profession. Caring in both the natural and professional perspectives is inextricably attached to love and love, we are told, is universal. We suggest this positioning illuminates a hidden reality that nursing work is at once intimate and personal but also hidden, profane, repellent, horrifying and feared. The Contemporary Gothic is a useful tool in exposing and exploring ambiguous, challenging and taboo aspects of nursing in society. Such and analysis helps to explain phenomena—including nursing itself—which exists in the shadow of dominant and often stereotyped discourses.
