This article examines the main factors that shape the choice made by individual nurses in the NHS concerning which union they join. The research methods include surveys, case studies, interviews and participant observation. Among the findings from the work is the relatively strong influence of an individual nurse's discipline or area of training on this particular choice or decision.
