| Abstract |
This paper is a culmination of the author's inquiry, reflection and critical thinking on the transitional phase that practice nursing is currently undergoing as part of the New Zealand Primary Health Strategy. The paper utilises both reflection-in-action and reflection-on-action as well as reflection-before-action, as a process. The author's starting point for this inquiry was attending the New Zealand Nurses Organisation Primary Health Conference in Wellington and reading a report from the Expert Advisory Group on Primary Health Care Nursing. Knowing that practice nurses are the majority of nurses working in primary health, she was concerned that changes to primary health were being driven with little reference or participation by them. The paper explores how practice nursing evolved in New Zealand and the developments that have occurred in the 30 plus years since its inception. It describes the role and current work of practice nursing in general practice, and highlights the constraints that have held back development and continue to do so. The 2002 New Zealand Primary Health Strategy is shown to provide an opportunity for development and enhancement, if some of the constraints are removed. As part of looking to the future the possibilities for practice nurses to lead the way in primary health development are explored. |

| Abstract |
This paper is a report of a study to determine the construction of male nurses as gay, and to describe how this discourse impacts on a group of New Zealand male nurses. This social constructionist study drew on data collected from existing texts on men, nursing and masculinity and interviews with 18 New Zealand men conducted in 2003-2004. Discourse analysis, informed by masculinity theory and queer theory, was used to analyse the data. Despite the participants' beliefs that the majority of male nurses are heterosexual, the stereotype persists. A paradox emerged between the 'homosexual' general nurse and the 'heterosexual' pyschiatric nurse. The stigma associated with homosexuality exposes male nurses to homophobia in the workplace. The heterosexual men employed strategies to avoid the presumption of homosexuality; these included: avoiding contact with gay colleagues and overt expression of their heterosexuality. These stigmatising discourses create a barrier to caring and, aligned with the presence of homophobia in the workplace, deter men's entry into the profession and may be important issues with respect to their retention. |

New graduate nurses; Professional competence; Nursing; Education; Teaching methods |
| Abstract |
This study aimed to identify how graduates perceived their clinical performance during their first year of practice. A convenience sample of 30 graduates was surveyed after 3 months and 7 months in practice, using an adapted form of a questionnaire devised by Ryan and Hodson (1992). The results showed that over time, graduates generally required less direction in all areas of clinical competence. After 7 months in practice, the majority of the graduates rated their performance in nursing skills, communication skills, and professionalism at the expected level or above. However, some still required direction with using theory and research in practice, with meeting client's psychosocial needs and with teaching clients. In the leadership competency, after 7 months, most graduates saw themselves functioning at the expected level related to client care and needed less direction in unit management skills. However, many of the unit management skills were rated as 'not applicable' indicating that new graduates are not initially placed in a management role. Implications for nursing education and limitations of the research are discussed. |

| Abstract |
Argues that the concept of cultural safety (CS) has been appropriated from an indigenous-led bicutural context to an inclusive cross-cultural framework for working with diverse patient populations. Investigates nurses' understanding of the 'Guidelines for Cultural Safety, the Treaty of Waitangi and Maori Health in Nursing Education and Practice' published in 2011 by the Nursing Council of NZ. Conducts a mixed-methods survey using both closed and open-ended questions to gauge nurses' confidence in applying the guidelines and their view of their relevance. Describes differences between NZ Registered Nurses (RN) and Internationally Qualified Nurses (IQN) in their understanding of CS. Argues that the CS model should be by Maori, for Maori. |
