Title 'Back to the bedside': Graduate level education in critical care Type Journal Article
Year (up) 2008 Publication Nurse Education in Practice Abbreviated Journal
Volume 8 Issue 1 Pages 46-53
Keywords Nursing specialties; Nursing; Education; Curriculum
Abstract This paper explores the relationships within teaching, learning and practice development in critical care nursing and questions the popular assumption that 'post graduate (Master's level) education fits all'. The need for critical care nurses to apply advanced knowledge and technical skills to complex and dynamic practice situations necessitates the development of critical thinking and a problem-solving approach to clinical practice that can be fostered through education and experience. Discussion focuses on the successful development and implementation of graduate level education for critical care nurses in the South Island of New Zealand and how this development is challenging existing approaches to the provision and evaluation of formal critical care education in New Zealand.

Title Graduates and initial employment Type Journal Article
Year (up) 2008 Publication Nurse Education Today Abbreviated Journal
Volume 28 Issue 5 Pages 610-619
Keywords New graduate nurses; Curriculum; Work
Abstract This research project was undertaken to inform nurse educators in the Department of Nursing and Health Studies of Manukau Institute of Technology of the employment opportunities for new graduate nurses emerging from the three year degree and registration programme. Graduates from the programme for the previous three years were surveyed for their experiences in gaining employment. 89.8% of graduates were successful in gaining employment in the first three months post registration. The number of graduates employed within a district health board declined across the three years but there were no significant differences between cohorts. Overall, 73% of graduates were employed into new graduate positions. The majority of graduates felt that their nursing education prepared them well for their role as a registered nurse. The findings of the qualitative data identified a strong need for science throughout the degree; longer clinical blocks; increased hands on experience; more practice with skills and less theory in relation to practical experience.

Title Return to nursing programmes: Justifications for a mental health specific course Type Journal Article
Year (up) 2008 Publication Intensive & Critical Care Nursing Abbreviated Journal
Volume 5 Issue 1 Pages 1-16
Keywords Psychiatric Nursing; Training; Recruitment and retention; Curriculum
Abstract This paper presents the findings from research that investigated the feasibility of developing a specialty return to mental health nursing programme in New Zealand. This was achieved through a scoping of existing return to nursing programmes; a survey of non-active nurses; and stakeholder consultation via interviews or focus groups. Existing generic programmes fail to attract non-active nurses wishing to focus on mental health nursing. The non-active nurses survey found 142 nurses who presently would or might possibly return to mental health nursing and participate in a programme. Most stakeholders supported the idea of implementing such a programme. The findings from this research indicate both feasibility and enthusiasm for the introduction of return to mental health nursing programmes. It is recommended that all aspects of this course mirror the service user focused 'recovery paradigm' that is a central tenet in contemporary mental health service delivery.
