Student Exchanges

The possibility of meaningful international educational exchanges for nurses in postgraduate/postbasic nursing education programs might seem far-fetched. Scope of practice, registration issues and standards, even organization of schools and universities would seem difficult issues to overcome. In 2010, a consortium of some seven schools of nursing in the United States, Ireland, Portugal, Norway, Slovenia, Denmark, and Malta opened a dialogue about curricular meeting points in postgraduate nursing education. The evolution of the European Union and the Bologna Accords (European Commission, 2008) have created an environment where a search for curricular meeting points is possible. One such meeting point involved student exchanges. This article will explore the experience of two consortium member schools in developing and operationalizing an exchange.

Resilience Training

Background Stress and burnout are plaguing critical care nurses across the globe and leading to high levels of turnover. Resilience-building strategies such as mindfulness, self-care, and well-being can help shield nurses from the negative effects of workplace stress. As the first line of defense, nursing schools could provide students with strategies that build resilience; however, little is known about the availability of such resources in nursing education. Objectives To determine the prevalence of resources and curricula targeting resilience training and stress reduction at nursing schools across the United States. Methods Raters analyzed publicly available college/ university websites and course catalogs of a sample of nursing schools in the United States to determine the availability of resilience resources and curricula. Results None of the schools surveyed regularly screened their students for burnout syndrome, and only 9% of schools had a formal curriculum that included resilience training. Conclusions Training in practices to build resilience and prevent burnout is essentially absent from accredited nursing schools. This highlights an important opportunity to modify existing curricula to include preventative strategies—such as developing positive coping skills— that could mitigate symptoms of workplace stress in future generations of nurses.
