Abstract |
A descriptive survey was utilised to obtain the opinions of Waikato hospital nurses, about the current rostering system, and sequential roistering. Two hundred questionnaires were sent out to staff nurses and enrolled nurses, selected by systematic sample from a random base. A total of 186 (95%) questionnaires were returned for analysis.Results from this research showed a marked difference of opinion between full-time and part-time staff. The current roistering system was favoured by part-time staff, whereas the full-time staff felt they were disadvantaged by this system, and showed a positive interest in trying a sequential roster.Nurses opinions of 6-7 day stretches and short changes and the effects on themselves, support the research done in an American study on circadian rhythms and indicates that the current system is not conducive to optional physical, psychological and emotional well-being. From the results of this study, it would seem appropriate for nurse administrators to recognise and respect nurses' professional standards and eliminate obstacles which prevent the achievement of desired standards of care, and accountability |

Abstract |
Accepting the impact that paraplegic disability has on lifestyle, I felt that further investigation was warranted into the relationship of registered Nurses ( my profession) to acute paraplegic rehabilitation. The following descriptive study was based on the hypothesis that registered nurses are perceived as important in the acute rehabilitation of paraplegics. By means of a questionnaire 15 registered nurses currently employed at a spinal unit were surveyed in Auckland, and 15 community based paraplegics who were at least two years from injury were surveyed over a geographical area from Whangarei to New Plymouth. The questionnaire was designed to elicit information in two main areas. The importance of Registered Nurses in acute paraplegic rehabilitation, who else could perform their function- Respondents were equally likely to report positively as negatively. Some questions were designed to be answered objectively and others were based on individual perception. Face validity of the tool was determined by presenting it to six advanced diploma colleagues who had worked in the rehabilitation field for critique and later by a pilot study of three registered nurses and three paraplegics. There are two themes that consistently recurred: amongst paraplegics, the more medical complications experienced, the higher value placed on spinal unit nursing care. Most people recommended the spinal unit, either for work in the case of registered nurses or for rehabilitation in the case of paraplegics. A systems model was used as the theoretical framework for the study. The nursing profession was depicted as the main system, each having definite and interdependent environments. By using this approach I emphasised that the importance of any part of the system is largely dependant on the view of that importance, by other parts. The analysis and interpretation of the data supported the hypothesis. This study concluded that registered nurses do play a significant role in acute paraplegic rehabilitation in the practise setting |

Abstract |
This study identifies, describes and generates a theoretical explanation of what it means to be a Nurse educator in New Zealand in the 1990's. It explores individual experiences within the broader social context. Sixteen participants from three Schools of Nursing in New Zealand were interviewed over a four month period. Constant comparative analysis of data eventuated in the identification of four conceptual categories named as : being a teacher, settling down, finding a place and coping with change. They were then drawn into the core category – Being – in- Becoming. Being – in- Becoming, means in this study, that a person is the Nurse teacher simply because that person has taken on the work of a teacher. In being a teacher, the person is adapting, changing and learning how to become a teacher. Being – in- Becoming, is a process which is on going, never ending, and constantly changing. The essence of this study is that the teacher's experience of Being – in- Becoming. is influenced by personal development and the way the person comes to 'know' about the world of Nursing education who is also intimately connected to the way Nursing curriculum is defined and experienced by individual teachers. These findings have implications for Nursing education , in recognition of teacher's concerns, background meanings and problems which influence a person's experience of being a Nurse educator. Expectations that feelings should be 'managed' therefore ignored is consistent in a group which claims caring as the essence of Nursing practice. Excessive workloads are constantly cited as a major problem for worker. The organisation has the responsibility to acknowledge the human experience of those who work within this area and to undertake to respond in ways which can improve the situation for all |

Abstract |
The author suggests that a nursing service would benefit by using the concept of budgets and budgeting control, in terms of management accounting and its applicability to a hospital based nursing service. The main objective of this study was to suggest a possible line of approach towards the construction of an information system designed to yield reliable and useful data, without which there can be little hope of any truly effective guide to the development of nursing services. |
