Abstract |
This study presents information, obtained from health service managers, on the present use and possible future use of second level nurses within the region encompassing the Wanganui, Rangitikei, Manawatu, Tararua, Palmerston North City and Horowhenua districts. “ Second level nurses” are currently known as enrolled nurses and, in accordance with Section 53A of the 1983 Amendment to the Nurses Act, are required to work under the direction and supervision of registered nurses or medical practitioners. Enrolled nurses are usually allocated less responsibility for nursing assessment and judgement than registered nurses.Management perspectives, from seventy seven health workforce managers, were sought in relation to the future workforce need, the scope and boundaries of practice, and the alternatives for the future educational preparation of second level nurses. Seventy two percent of managers said that they thought enrolled nurses were essential to New Zealand's future nursing workforce. They predicted increased opportunities for enrolled nurses in care of the elderly and community care settings. Patterns in the current workforce utilization of enrolled nurses, however, did not support these views.In relation to the education of enrolled nurses, managers indicated that hospital-based training was the most preferred option. However, managers asserted that, in view of the current lack of employment opportunities no more enrolled nurses should be prepared at the present time.Although questions about education were focussed on the educational preparation of enrolled nurses, many of the respondent managers also expressed opinions about the educational preparation of comprehensive nurses. As a result, an evaluation of comprehensive nursing programmes is suggested.While the numbers of second level nurses being prepared and used is decreasing, there is a concomitant increase in the preparation and use of caregivers. This rapidly increasing group isfast becoming a “cheaper” second level workforce. The increase in the use of caregivers is seen to result from the pressure on healthcare employers to reduce spending within the current highly competitive, de-regulated economy. Managers asserted that enrolled nurses are not cost effective in comparison with either caregivers or registered nurses.The study concludes with thirteen recommendations which are made under the following four groups;1. Manawatu Polytechnic – provider of nursing education.2. Healthcare employers – users of nursing education.3. Enrolled nurses – participants in nursing education.4. Professional nursing bodies – guardians of nursing education |

Abstract |
This exploratory descriptive study informed by grounded theory examines the experience of mothers in managing their pre-school child's acute asthma attack at home. The study reveals that mothers perceive that they are responsible for the management of their pre-school child during an acute asthma episode, a process they described as 'managing it'. This process involves mother in 'working on treatment', 'making the call', 'watching' and 'calming', while the husband/partner, family, friends and health professionals are 'supporting treatment'. This study suggests that nurses and doctors need to move away from the current paternalistic view of health care delivery in acute settings and embrace the concepts of support and partnership in the care of the pre-school child with asthma and their family. |

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. |

Abstract |
This essay explores the social and historical context of the continued incidence of rheumatic fever amongst Maori. This communicable disease is associated with poverty, inadequate housing and overcrowding. These risk factors are all higher for indigenous populations. The article traces the effects of colonisation on Maori health, and presents the Te Whare Tapa Wha health model, which is grounded in a Maori world view, and provides a framework to examine this issue. The implications for nursing practice are explored. |

Abstract |
This research aims to design and test the feasibility of an intervention promoting smoking cessation, and reducing smoking relapse, among Māori nurses who smoke. It is being conducted in two phases. Phase one, a national web-based survey, conducted in December 2012, explored the views of Māori nurses (smokers, ex-smokers and non-smokers) regarding smoking. This paper reports on the analysis of qualitative responses from 410 nurses and nursing students identifying as Māori who completed an online survey. Five themes were identified: beliefs about smoking; ?for our tamariki?; personal stories of quitting; dissatisfaction with current approaches; and plans for future strategies. The findings confirm that nurses who smoke may experience feelings of conflict, and regard their behaviour as inconsistent with their role as nurses and health promoters. Nurses who smoke must be supported to become, and to stay, smokefree. Tailored Māori-specific cessation initiatives are needed. |

Abstract |
Interviews a group of Maori women who have successfully ceased smoking and asks about influences and supportive interventions that helped them quit smoking. Analyses the data using Boyatzis' (1998) approach and identifies two primary themes providing insight for nurses working with Maori women smokers: transmission of whanau values; and factors crucial in influencing change. |
