| Abstract |
This study uncovers the experience of being ethical from the perspective of pre-registration nursing students. Using the qualitative methodology of phenomenology, specifically that outlined by van Manen, it seeks to show how students act ethically within everyday practice. Providing nursing care is an ethically charged undertaking and despite ethics taking an increasingly important place in nursing education, the author suggests that few studies show the contextual nature of ethical practice from the perspective of students. This study aims to partly redress this situation. In this study the author has interpreted the experiences of twelve pre-registration students. Using seventeen stories shared by the student participants, the author's personal understandings and literature, the meaning of being ethical has been illuminated. Three themes emerged from the interpretation. These include 'keeping things 'nice'', 'being true to yourself' and 'being present'. This thesis asserts that the overarching theme within these themes is that of 'being constrained and enabled'. Being constrained shows the experiences of students as they live through the tensions of being and doing as they strive to be ethical. Being enabled shows the experience of self-determination. Finally the study maintains that the shaping of ethical practice for undergraduate students may be enhanced when their reality is positioned and valued within educational processes. |

| Abstract |
Uncovers the significance for nurses who were trained within the 1970s apprenticeship model in NZ hospitals, in their present understanding of themselves as nurses. Confirms that the 1970s heralded the beginning of the end of the apprenticeship system of nurse training, and that literature related to this era of general student nurse training is limited. Uses philosophical hermeneutics to guide interviews with 15 former student nurses who trained within the Auckland Hospital Board School of Nursing, and who reflect 40 years afterward, on how their apprenticeship training influenced the type of nurses they became. |

| Abstract |
As carers of patients who are clinical research participants, nurses' contribution to the success of clinical trials is acknowledged in the literature. Ethical dilemmas and challenges that clinical trials may present for nurses are also recognised. Although there is some discussion regarding these issues, few studies explore and identify the perceptions of intensive care nurses regarding clinical trials and how they may impact on nursing practice. This thesis explores and describes the viewpoints and experiences of sixty intensive care nurses from a tertiary level referral centre in New Zealand engaged in clinical research activities. The descriptive study utilised a self-administered questionnaire to gather information regarding nurses' roles in clinical trials, associated issues encountered and contributory factors, and the impact of issues on nursing practice, stress and satisfaction levels. Suggestions for potential strategies to minimise the impact of issues on nurses' practice were also sought. Descriptive statistical and content data analyses identified three key areas in which nurses' encounter issues associated with clinical trials and their practice: nurses' workload; ethical concerns; educational preparation and support. The findings indicate that, when issues exist in these areas, routine patient care can be delayed, the enactment of nurses' patient advocacy role can be affected, and nurses' stress and satisfaction levels can be negatively impacted upon. The perceptions of a group of intensive care nurses who are enveloped in the daily balance of patient care, the need for clinical research, and their professional obligations are discussed in this thesis. While the study's findings are reflective of one group of nurses in a distinct practice setting, their experiences can prompt other nurses, research teams and clinical leaders to reflect upon their own clinical research environment. |

| Abstract |
Hope is considered an elusive, vague, over-used, and ambiguous concept in nursing practice which lacks clarity, but hope is essential to the quality of life in the terminally ill. Therefore, hope is an important concept to research further. A gap in nursing research has been identified in the area of hope in terminal illness. The aims of this research were to clarify the concept of hope as perceived by patients with a terminal illness; to develop hope as an evidence-based nursing concept; and to contribute new knowledge and insights about hope to the relatively new field of palliative care. Utilising Rodgers' (2000b) evolutionary concept analysis methodology and thematic content analysis, 17 pieces of research-based literature on hope as perceived by adult patients with any terminal illness pathology (from the disciplines of nursing and medicine) have been reviewed and analysed. Hope's attributes, antecedents, consequences, social-cultural variations, temporal variations, surrogate terms, and related concepts have been considered. An exemplary case of the concept in action is presented along with the evolution of the concept hope in terminal illness. Ten essential attributes of the concept were identified in this research: positive expectation, personal qualities, spirituality, goals, comfort, help / caring, interpersonal relationships, control, legacy, and life review. The evolution of hope in terminal illness has evolved from patients hoping for a prosperous healthy future to an enrichment of being is more important than having or doing. Patients' hopes and goals are scaled down and refocused in order to live in the present and enjoy the time they have left with loved ones. Hope in the terminal phase of one's illness is orientated in the past and the present, hope in the here and hope in the now. The author concludes that by completing all the steps to Rodgers' (2000b) evolutionary view of concept analysis, a working definition and clarification of the concept in its current use has been achieved, providing a solid conceptual foundation for further study. Recommendations are made for hope-enhansing strategies, that may help to maximise the quality of life of terminally ill patients in the future. |

| Abstract |
Death education encompasses many complex realities, for both the students and lecturers involved. This quantitative research explored the experiential and didactic preparation of nursing students through a content analysis, of one New Zealand, three year Bachelor of Nursing programme, in relation to death education. The Otago Polytechnic Bachelor of Nursing programme incorporates compulsory and optional courses, with the courses taught as an integrated programme with a progressive, sequential approach. This approach builds on content, deepening understanding from year to year, as well as providing opportunities for experiential learning and broadening of understanding. The literature review discusses three dominant themes of undergraduate death education: education, death, and transition. The data collection tool incorporates eighteen key terms, ten teaching methods and ten assessment methods. The programme and individual course documents, which define course content, teaching and assessment were scanned and analysed. The findings initially showed limited evidence of death education in course documents, however deeper analysis of the documents showed further evidence over the three year programme. The existence of death education is implied rather than overt throughout many course documents, through the use of broad practice statements. Content analysis is one way of shedding light on programme content in relation to death education. Limitations of the content analysis approach mean measuring experiential and didactic learning is not fully achievable from documentation analysis only. Further development of Bachelor of Nursing death education is an ongoing challenge, with current programmes very full and possibly lacking the capacity to increase content. Bachelor of Nursing programmes are discussed, highlighting the need for student focused learning with emphasis on acquiring and processing information, rather than mastery of content. |

This article outlines the development of the neonatal nurse practitioner role in New Zealand as an example of one advanced practice nursing role. A model of how nursing culture changes to include roles that incorporate components that historically have been considered the domain of other health professionals is proposed. This article outlines some of the issues surrounding the neonatal nurse practitioner role, including the educational requirements for this role in New Zealand. |
