Supportive Learning Environment

Student clinical practice is a significant and essential part of nursing education. Accordingly, clinical placements need to be positive and valuable. The purpose of this study was to describe newly-graduated nurses' perceptions of their student clinical intersession placements and how these placements impacted their functioning as graduate nurses. Inductive semantic analysis of the data revealed four themes: developing nursing skills and knowledge; preparing for future employment; experiencing supportive relationships; and experiencing realities of work-life. Educators must ensure that clinical placements are in an environment that is conducive to learning and promotes the personal and professional development of nursing students. Positive clinical experiences are more likely related to how valued and supported students feel than the physical aspects of a placement; thus, it is imperative educators assess and focus on providing placements that offer a supportive learning environment.

Nurses Perceptions

The use of electronic medical record (EMR) systems is transforming health care delivery in hospitals. Perioperative nurses work in a unique high-risk health setting, hence require specific considerations for EMR implementation. This research explored perioperative nurses’ perceptions of facilitators and barriers to the implementation of an EMR in their workplace to make context-specific recommendations about strategies to optimise EMR adoption. Using a qualitative exploratory descriptive design, focus group data were collected from 27 perioperative nurses across three hospital sites. Thematic analyses revealed three themes: 1) The world is going to change; 2) What does it mean for me? and 3) We can do it, but we have some reservations. Mapping coded data to the Theoretical Domains Framework identified prominent facilitators and barriers, and informed recommended implementation strategies for EMR adoption by perioperative nurses.

Baccalaureate Graduates

Nursing graduates need to be “real world ready”, and able to meet the demands of the healthcare workforce. Research indicates that baccalaureate graduates have adequate theoretical base, but often lack competence in the clinical setting. Preceptorship programs are an effective way of developing clinical competence in the nursing student. The purpose of this study was to compare a traditional senior clinical course to a preceptorship model on students, faculty, and nurses’ perceptions of student preparedness for the nursing role. A formal preceptorship program with the support of a clinical nurse faculty member was developed to enhance the success of clinical nursing education. A quasi-experimental design with nonequivalent groups was used to determine the feasibility and effectiveness of a preceptorship model for senior nursing students comparing the students’, the faculty, and the nurses’ perceptions of the students’ preparedness for clinical practice after a traditional clinical and a preceptor clinical experience. The sample consisted of the fall 2017 senior semester cohort and the spring 2018 senior semester cohort, senior faculty who taught in those semesters, and nurses at the participating facilities. Overall, findings did not show a statistically significant difference between the traditional cohorts and the precepted cohorts; however, there is evidence of clinical significance. After implementation of the preceptorship model, there was an increase in the percent of nurses (100%), faculty (100%), and students (95%) who felt that the senior nursing students were ready for the professional role of a registered nurse.

Changing values, and educational paradigm, market-driven economic policy, dramatic technology developments, changing learner-educator profiles and roles and the knowledge explosion are rapidly changing health care and educational institutions as well as creating a climate of continuous rapid change. The future of nursing education, to improve and promote the nursing profession, nurses should practice to the full extent of their education and training, they should achieve higher levels of education and training through an improved education system that promotes seamless academic progression, they should be full partners with healthcare professionals, and effective workforce planning and policy making require better data collection and an improved information infrastructure. A broad search without time limitations was performed in the databases EBSCO, CINAHL, Medline, PubMed, DynaMed and ERIC.As a conclusion, there is required for a change in nursing education and in the learning environment in order to prepare the nurse of the future in a changing health care delivery system with increasing complexity.

Healthcare Needs

Background/Objective: Nursing education has traditionally educated students in an acute care setting. However, recent trends in health care delivery models have moved the care of clients to a variety of out-patient settings. For the role of the nurse educator to transform, the curriculum must be able to expand beyond just the hospital-based focus to also include a community-based focus. To meet this demand, the College of Nursing faculty created a geriatric home care simulation to enhance the students’ experiences of providing care beyond the hospital setting to this growing population.Methods: A gap analysis of current simulations imbedded within the curricula identified the need for a community-based simulation and a geriatric home care simulation was chosen. The American Association of Colleges of Nursing Essentials of Baccalaureate Education and Recommended Baccalaureate Competencies and Curricular Guidelines for the Nursing Care of Older Adults were used as the framework for the analysis.Results: This simulation was designed as an interactive, low-stakes experience since many students lacked the opportunity to experience this unique clinical care setting. This article describes the development of the simulation, specific content objectives and outcomes, summary of the reactions of the students and faculty, as well as revisions and closing reactions.Conclusions: Nursing education has historically focused on acute care and now nursing students must be able to care for clients in a variety of out-patient settings, while focusing on the management of chronic diseases, promoting wellness and disease prevention. The future of nursing education will continue to require that faculty members explore innovative solutions to meet the educational needs of students, while balancing the health care needs of various populations and our changing health care delivery systems.

Workforce Strategies

With increasing pressures on the skilled nursing workforce, strategies need to be developed to maximise the value of the existing workforce without impacting on the quality of care delivery. This paper reports on the introduction of a Commonwealth and State subsidised program for assistants-in-nursing (AINs) to assist in addressing the global nursing shortage. The program – which has included education sessions with registered nurses about the role of the AIN, delegation and supervision, and has also sustained support to the participants throughout the duration of their employment – has delivered benefits locally to the Princess Alexandra Hospital (PAH) and, broadly, to the nursing profession. Most of the participants completing the program have chosen to continue their employment at PAH or pursue further studies in nursing. What is known about the topic?The shortage of skilled nurses means there is a need for innovative solutions to support the existing workforce. What does this paper add?The development of an assistant-in-nursing role was seen as a successful development for a Queensland hospital. What are the implications for practitioners?The trained assistants have largely remained employed in the area and 68% have gone on to further nursing education.

Clinical Scenarios

As the complexity of health care delivery continues to increase, educators are challenged to determine educational best practices to prepare BSN students for the ambiguous clinical practice setting. Integrative, active, and student-centered curricular methods are encouraged to foster student ability to use clinical judgment for problem solving and informed clinical decision making. The proposed pedagogical model of progressive complexity in nursing education suggests gradually introducing students to complex and multi-contextual clinical scenarios through the utilization of case studies and problem-based learning activities, with the intention to transition nursing students into autonomous learners and well-prepared practitioners at the culmination of a nursing program. Exemplar curricular activities are suggested to potentiate student development of a transferable problem solving skill set and a flexible knowledge base to better prepare students for practice in future novel clinical experiences, which is a mutual goal for both educators and students.
