  Title Specialist nursing famework for New Zealand: A missing link in workforce planning Type Journal Article
  Year (down) 2009 Publication Policy, Politics, & Nursing Practice Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume 10 Issue 4 Pages 269-275  
  Keywords Workforce planning; Nursing workforce; Specialist nursing frameworks; Advanced practice nurses  
  Abstract Explores the NZ context underpinning adequate specialist nurse workforce supply, contending that effective workforce planning would be supported by the

development of a single unified framework for specialist nursing practice in NZ, with the potential to support accurate data collection and to enable service providers to identify and plan transparent and transferable pathways for specialist nursing service provision and development. Argues that advanced practice nursing frameworks assist in increasing productivity through building an evidence base about advanced practice, enhancing consistency and equity of expertise, supporting a reduction in role duplication, and enabling succession planning and sustainability.

  Volume Issue Pages  
  Keywords Rural nursing; Identity; Advanced nursing practice; Professional competence  
  Abstract This chapter explores the concept of islands particularly in relation to rurality, individual and community identities, and nursing. The author argues that all New Zealanders are islanders, and considers the implications of this on personal and community values, when they are shaped by geographic isolation and structural separateness. She explores commonalities between islanders and rural peoples in areas such as identity, isolation, and health, and outlines the impacts this has on rural nursing practice and competencies. A case study of a nurse on Stewart Island is briefly discussed.

  Title Aroha mai: Nurses, nursing and mental illness Type
  Year (down) 2008 Publication Abbreviated Journal University of Auckland Library  
  Volume Issue Pages  
  Keywords Mental health; Nursing; Culture  
  Abstract This research takes an autoethnographical approach to exploring the connections between being a nurse, doing nursing work, and experiencing a mental illness. Data is comprised of autoethnographical stories from 18 nurses. Drawing on Lyotard's (1988) postmodern philosophy of 'regimes of phrases' and 'genres of discourse,' the nurses' stories yielded three motifs: Nursing, Tangata Whaiora (people seeking wellness) and Bullying. Interpretation of the motifs was undertaken by identifying and exploring connected or dissenting aspects within and between the motifs.

  Title Implementation of a nursing initiative in primary care: A case report, cardiovascular disease risk reduction Type Journal Article
  Year (down) 2008 Publication New Zealand Family Physician Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume 35 Issue 3 Pages 183-186  
  Keywords Multidisciplinary care teams; Cardiovascular diseases; Case studies; Primary health care  
  Abstract The aim was to report on implementation of a nursing initiative of cardiovascular disease (CVD) screening risk assessment at the Mornington Health Centre, Dunedin, with initial outcomes after six months. The practice aim was 80% of their eligible population assessed within three to four years, particularly targeting high-risk groups. The audit indicates that in their first six months, Mornington Health Centre had screened 42% of their eligible patients. This is described as very successful progress towards their goal of 80%. A number of key organisational factors are identified that are likely to have contributed to the development and success of the nurse CVD risk assessment programme at Mornington Health Centre. The authors suggest that this case study demonstrates how organisational change, where the practice nurse role in the multidisciplinary team is clear, can facilitate a practice to meet a population-based goal.

  Title Men's clinical career pathways: Widening the understanding Type Journal Article
  Year (down) 2008 Publication Klinisk sygepleje Abbreviated Journal Coda: An institutional repository for the New Zealand ITP sector  
  Volume 22 Issue 3 Pages 48-57  
  Keywords Male nurses; Gender; Careers in nursing  
  Abstract This article, drawn from a larger study, reports on the factors that have influenced the choice of a group of New Zealand male nurses' clinical career pathways. Using discourse analysis, interview data from 18 participants were analysed and related to existing literature on male nurses. The analysis revealed that the predominance of men in selected areas of nursing can be attributed to multiple factors including: socialisation pressures that are grounded on gender stereotyping, a desire for challenge, homosocial tendencies, and the belief that multiple work experience equips them to be better nurses. The results challenge essentialist readings of masculinity within the context of nursing and identifies challenges for nursing education and the profession to enable men to contribute more widely to nursing.

  Title 'Back to the bedside': Graduate level education in critical care Type Journal Article
  Year (down) 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 (down) 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 Nurse-led telephone triage service in a secondary rural hospital Type Book Chapter
  Year (down) 2008 Publication Jean Ross (Ed.), Rural nursing: Aspects of practice (pp. 99-110) Abbreviated Journal Ministry of Health publications page  
  Volume Issue Pages  
  Keywords Rural nursing; Telenursing; Evaluation  
  Abstract This chapter describes the development of a nurse-led after-hours telephone triage service in a rural secondary hospital in the Hawke's Bay District Health Board area. This service was a response to the health restructuring in the 1990s, which had led to the shift of secondary services out of the rural areas, and workforce recruitment issues. Secondly, it discusses the process and findings of a research project undertaken to identify and describe telephone callers' reported outcomes after using the service. The study found a high level of satisfaction amongst callers and a high level of compliance to advice.
