This paper focuses on reasons why longitudinal studies can make a useful contribution to the understanding of nurse diplomates' careers. Strategies to negotiate access to students from all four branches and invite them to participate in such a study are discussed, as are strategies to maintain contact and achieve high response rates thereafter. Attention is drawn to the particular difficulties in obtaining a nationally representative sample of adult branch diplomates.

Key Words: Careers of nurse diplomates • Sample design • Maximising recruitment into a panel study • Maintaining high response rates
