Introduction Like other feminised caring professions, nursing1 is associated with offering working-class women a route to upward social mobility (Huppatz, 2010), yet there is a lack of sociological research on nurses’ class origins.2 Social mobility research tends to focus on the ‘higher professions’ (Friedman et al., 2017).
