Abstract  |
In this research two nurse-patients have engaged in a conversation about their experience of 'being nursed'. The project sets out to address the following questions: How might our experiences as nurses who have been hospitalised be drawn upon to influence positive changes in nursing practice? What effect might our experiences of hospitalisation have on us as nurses and on our nursing practice? The study utilises narrative as inquiry and the method of story telling and auto/biography to tell the stories of Maria (a pseudonym) and the researcher herself. This interpretive research has been informed by the feminist process and sits within a postmodern framework. Maria's stories were audio taped and transcribed before being prepared for analysis using 'core story creation', and the process of 'emplotment' (Emden, 1998b). The author's reflective topical autobiographical narrative was constructed through the processes described by Johnstone (1999). Three distinct qualities emerged from both experiences. The first, 'knowing as nurse-patient' contains the three sub-themes of 'having knowledge', 'expectations of being nursed', and 'knowledge gained'. The second distinct quality 'being nursed' contains the two sub-themes of 'feeling safe and cared for' and 'presencing'; and the third, 'not being nursed', contains the four sub themes 'feeling vulnerable', 'invisibility of nurses', 'getting out' and 'feeling let down'. The sub-theme 'getting out' includes three additional sub themes of 'wanting to get out and not wanting to be there', 'leaving and the need for closure' and 'not wanting to go back'. The author notes that nursing does make a difference to patient care. However, for patients to receive therapeutic care, new graduate nurses must be preceptored/mentored by experienced nurses in supportive programmes. Suggestions for further research have been identified. |

Abstract |
In this research paper for a Master of Nursing (Clinical), the author suggests that graduate nurses can successfully adapt to emergency nursing when supported with intensive domain-specific transition programmes to complement the national nursing entry to practice (NETP) programme in New Zealand. This outcome conflicts with the present traditional emergency department recruitment strategy that nurses must have two years acute care experience. The graduate believes they are prepared for practice for any healthcare setting but do need time to resolve the rift between theory and practice. This research project confirms the perpetuation of experienced nurses' perceptions that graduates are not work-ready but are unrealistically expected to hit the floor running following ad hoc orientation ranging from three days to four weeks. By creating domain-specific programmes with a minimum twelve-week staged rotation orientation package, graduate nurses can be nurtured as emergency nurses. The influential role of the organisation and experienced nurses is vital to limit reality shock and complement NETP. Preceptorship and mentorship programmes promote the graduates' confidence in themselves to become competent team members. Limits to this research are the non-differentiation between nurses new to emergency nursing and the graduate nurse in the published studies. Assumptions have therefore been made regarding successful transition in regard to newly qualified registered nurses in the emergency department. Further study and evaluation applicable in the New Zealand context is also recommended by the author where anecdotally only a few emergency departments are involved in socialising graduate nurses into the workforce regardless of the urgent need for more first-year-of-practice clinical placements. |

Abstract |
Evaluates the SIP/PIP process to illuminate the views of the nurse managers and preceptors on the effectiveness of the SIP/PIP programme in ensuring competent practice and provides recommendations for improvement and strengthening of the framework. Uses a qualitative approach with data collected through individual semi-structured interviews with preceptors and nurse managers. Due to lack of participation in the quantitative arm a mixed-method study was not completed using an anonymous survey. Undertakes thematic data analysis utilising NVIVO 10 software. Draws four major themes from the qualitative data: (1) Feedback- insight loop, (2) Process clarity, (3) Relationships, commitment & reflective response to participation in the SIP/PIP process, (4) Barriers and enablers to the SIP/PIP process. |

Abstract |
A preceptorship programme of 100 hours duration was developed and delivered by a nurse education institute, in consultation with a health care organisation. The purpose of the study was to examine preceptors, preceptees, and nurse managers' preceptions of the preceptor role and factors which influenced the performance of preceptors. Using focus groups, participants were each asked to identify the outcomes of the programme in practice. Study findings highlighted the importance of formal preceptor preparation, personal and professional development of the preceptors, and the promotion of positive partnerships between nurse educators and nurse practitioners. The need for formal recognition of the preceptor role in practice, particularly in relation to the provision of adequate time and resources, emerged from the study. The research findings enabled the development of an evaluative model of preceptorship, which highlights the intrinsic and extrinsic factors impacting on the preceptor role |
