Foster, P. M. (2020). What undergraduate nurse education actually teaches student nurses about people named as older: A Foucauldian discourse analysis. Doctoral thesis, Auckland University of Technology, Auckland.
Abstract: Traces the origins of gerontology knowledge among student nurses while considering how people designated as older are perceived by the student nurse, and the effects of functional decline and biomedical discourses on their views of older people when on clinical placement in aged residential care (ARC) facilities. Hghlights the contested domain of gerontology knowledge to generate dialogue about how older age is actually represented in student nurse education, as the current iteration perpetuates stereotypical assumptions about older age.

Bowen-Withington, J. (2022). Emerging discourses shaping high-fidelity simulation as an education platform in Aotearoa New Zealand pre-registration nursing education: A Foucauldian discourse analysis. Doctoral thesis, Auckland University of Technology, Auckland.
Abstract: Asserts that nursing needs to think critically about High-fidelity simulation (HFS) use, and its dominance, in the educational preparation of nurses. Draws on the tenets of postmodernism and Foucauldian discourse analysis methodology to question the discourses and discursive practices that influence the use of HFS as an approach to intentional and unintentional teaching and learning in pre-registration nursing education in NZ. Explores how this shapes nursing students' subjectivity and, ultimately, nursing practice.

Drake, M., & Stokes, G. (2004). Managing pre-registration student risk: A professional and legislative minefield. Nursing Praxis in New Zealand, 20(1), 15–27.
Abstract: This article reports data from 15 schools of nursing, surveyed to identify difficulties experienced by nurse educators with respect to entry, progression and programme completion of undergraduate nursing students. Risk assessment, along with a lack of clear policy and procedures were found to be the main problem areas. Difficulties were exacerbated for educators when there were challenges to their professional judgement, either from the Nursing Council of New Zealand or from within their own institution. The authors argue for more recognition of the dual role of nurse educators, and greater clarification of the Nursing Council of New Zealand role in regulating the student's programme entry and progression, and ultimate admission to the Register. It is suggested that the recently passed Health Practitioners Competence Assurance Act (2003) provides nursing with an opportunity to address some of these issues.

Wong, G., & Sakulneya, A. (2004). Promoting EAL nursing students' mastery of informal language. Nursing Praxis in New Zealand, 20(1), 45–52.
Abstract: This article describes the development, delivery and evaluation of a pilot programme designed to help nursing and midwifery students from Asian and non-English speaking backgrounds improve their conversational skills in practice settings. Many such students, although previously assessed as competent in English, find that communication with patients and their families, and other health professionals is difficult. The study was conducted in a large tertiary educational institution in a major metropolitan centre. Each week for a period of 11 weeks students participated in an interactive session. Content for these was based on areas highlighted by a needs assessment involving interviews with both students and lecturers, and was subject to ongoing modification in response to feedback from participants. Evaluation questionnaires completed at the conclusion of the series indicated that students perceived the impact as positive. Students who attended regularly and were actively involved in the practice activities described gains in communication skills. From this it was concluded that further development of the pilot scheme was warranted in order to benefit English as an additional language (EAL) students enrolled in nursing and midwifery courses
