The transition from student nurse to Registered Nurse Grade 1 is a difficult journey for many graduates. New graduates experience issues related to reality shock, socialisation, confidence and the theory practice gap. It is well recognised that graduates require extensive support and development throughout this very difficult time. In Victoria graduate nurse programs are a recognised vessel to deliver this support.

Abstract:

This thesis explores the job of nursery nurses working in English Primary and Infant Schools in terms of their tasks and perceptions of their jobs. Educational management theory presently overlooks the increasingly important role of support staff, and in particular nursery nurses, who receive a professional training. The literature review reveals that there is no coherent body of research on nursery nurses and shows that their job as support or complementary staff is patchily under researched. The literature reviewed also deals with the problematic question of how can school effectiveness be m

Despite the potentially very significant role of nurses in mitigating against the negative effects of hospitalisation on children, the attitudes and behaviour of paediatric nurses towards patients have been largely ignored within the literature. This study, therefore, aimed to consider paediatric nurses' attitudes and their interactions with patients and, in particular, to investigate the relationship between these two variables. However, in contrast with similar studies in other specialties, nurses' attitudes and behaviour were considered at a general and individual patient level. A general a

Abstract:

Appalling deficiencies in care as demonstrated in the Francis Report (2013) illustrate how nursing needs to understand, perform and ensure high quality nursing services. This strive for excellence includes better knowledge and education of students and registrants, both academically and by mentorship, coaching and supervision. However, ‘better’ educated is difficult to define. For Aristotle “the most finished form of knowledge is wisdom” or phronesis (Aristotle 1986 pg. 211), therefore the pursuit of wise nurses is a laudable endeavour.

Poor pain assessment contributes to inadequate postoperative pain relief. Studies in the US suggest that nurse education might make students less sensitive to patients' experience of pain. This research set out to examine this process in the United Kingdom and to explore the experience of the students during their common foundation programme (CFP). 217 students completed the Standard Measure of Inferences of Suffering Questionnaire (SMIS) before and after their CFP.

Abstract:

The arrival of lifelong learning within nursing constitutes a major conceptual shift that every qualified nurse is expected to adopt to be able to function as a Registered Nurse (RN) throughout their career. In the 1990s, lifelong learning had been appearing sporadically within nursing literature as a fait accompli, and with a seemingly general assumption that there was a shared understanding and acceptance of the concept amongst all nurses. The literature review revealed that lifelong learning is closely linked to the evolving nature of healthcare delivery in the National Health Service (NHS)

Abstract:

While there is still no fully acceptable framework for the study of absenteeism it would appear that the foci of economic and psychological research is converging. Traditionally economists have relied on labour - leisure choice theories, consistent with psychology expectancy theories, where employees are assumed to be utility maximisers choosing absence levels which they believe will maximise the gains from work and non - work time. More recently theorists from both disciplines recognise that individual absence decisions are also influenced by work group norms (ie beliefs and attitudes on work

Abstract:

Employee voluntary turnover is a management problem that impacts the strategic sustainability goals of health care organizations. Thirty-three percent of newly qualified graduate registered nurses (RNs) in the United States leave their profession within the first year of employment. As a result, health care organizations pay over $85,000 per nurse and up to $6.4 million annually to replace RNs in hospitals with more than 600 beds. The purpose of this single case study was to explore strategies nurse managers used to reduce voluntary turnover of RNs. The study population comprised 5 nurse manag
