Abstract |
Asserting that little research into the novice-to-expert continuum has been applied to the development of novice educators, synthesises three teaching and learning models -- the Model of Practical Skill Performance; the 4A Model; and Five Minute Preceptor -- and three specific skills -- 'think aloud', questioning, and feedback -- which together comprise a 'toolkit' of skills-teaching to assist educators in planning learners' skills acquisition. |

Abstract |
This project undertakes a critique and review of a decade (1990-2000) of available New Zealand literature to reveal the current state of nursing informatics utilisation in nursing practice. Since the early 1990s, nurses from diploma and baccalaureate nursing programs have been graduating with knowledge and skills in nursing informatics. Yet, when scrutinising the two main nursing publications for New Zealand, the author found scant publication of articles that pertain to this topic area of nursing. Competencies as product of the 1989 Guidelines for Teaching Nursing Informatics are a key consideration in this discussion, including ways in which the articles may reflect the content or intent of the Nursing Informatics curriculum as prescribed in these guidelines. This commentary discusses how nursing informatics has evolved in New Zealand nursing practice, situating its growth, or lack of, in the context of concurrent sociopolitical influences as well as conditions created by national and international nursing trends. Several recommendations are discussed to guide the future direction of nursing informatics for nursing education and practice in New Zealand. |

Abstract |
This inquiry is an in-depth exploration of one middle aged woman's experience of strife in chronic illness and her nursing care involving four nurses (including the author) in a community context over a three-year period. The study is praxiological in that the understanding achieved is derived from practice within a 'research as praxis' methodology positioned in the disciplinary perspective of nursing as a practical human science. Five methodological premises inform the research processes: reflexivity, dialogue, moral comportment, re-presentation in narrative and critique. They emanate from an eclectic ontological praxiology based on the research framework constructed from Gadamerian philosophical hermeneutics, components of other philosophical praxiologies evolved from an exploration of the practical discourse in philosophy and my preferred health and nursing assumptions. The research processes include researcher journalling, a summary of Sarah's nursing record and dialogical meetings with Sarah and the nurse co-participants. Using the research material a narrative is then co-constructed. The narrative is structured around what Sarah viewed as the overall nursing contribution to her care; the 'sharing of her burden of illness'. This, she maintained, enabled her to live safely in the community. Finally there occurs a critique of the narrative within a discursive framework. Three themes, embedded in particular discourses, emerged from the narrative both in Sarah's and the nurses' experience; paradox, moral meaning and metaphor. Sarah's experience is interpreted as taking place in the 'in-between space' of the disease and health-illness discourses. Two main concepts which depict the tension experienced in this space are the 'the ontological assault of illness' and 'entrapment in the disease discourse'. The nurses, in this instance, 'pushed the boundaries' to create a space for the nursing as a caring practice discourse on the margins of nursing as a functional service discourse. The author notes that, within the nursing as a caring practice space, many 'fine lines' were walked with Sarah. Walking the 'fine line' of an 'intense relationship' was seen as advanced nursing practice. The research highlights important implications for a person and/or families who live with chronic illness and practice and educational issues for advanced nurse practitioners. Further, it promotes praxiological methodologies as advantageous for expanding nursing knowledge. |

Abstract |
The author argues that the framework of competencies required for advanced nursing practice should include a moral dimension in order to take account of relational as well as functional competencies. There is no recognition of the relational competencies required to practice caring as a moral imperative. The Nursing Council of New Zealand expects that nurses will practise 'in accord with values and moral principles'. The paper explores the history of two nursing discourses, that which sees nursing as a functional occupation and that which emphasises the relationship between nurse and patient. A practice exemplar is used to demonstrate positive outcomes from advanced relational competencies. |

Abstract |
This paper, firstly, examines the linkages and shifts in the evolution of of praxis. The concept of praxis, also known as the practical discourse in philosophy, has been expressed in different ways in different eras. However, the linkages from one era to another and from one paradigm to another are not well explicated in the nursing literature. Blurring of the linkages occurred from the popular association of praxis within the emancipatory paradigm. Integral to the concept of praxis, since the time of Aristotle, is the notion of phronesis: a process of moral reasoning enacted to establish the 'good' of a particular situation, often referred to as practical wisdom. Secondly, the paper, promotes and affirms the importance of praxiological knowledge development in the discipline. Furthermore, increased appreciation of the concept of praxis provides an important vehicle for the advancement of nursing as a moral endeavour and the nurse as moral agent. |

Conducts an exploratory study to understand nurses' use of technology during the COVID-19 lockdown, in particular which information and communication technologies (ICT) were being used and how nurses felt about using ICT in their practice. Selects an anonymous online survey, with both open- and closed-ended questions, as a safe data-collection method during level 3 lockdown (from March to May 2020), via social media and email networks. Analyses 220 responses from nurses regarding access issues with ICT, with technical support, connectivity, and with patients and colleagues. |
