| Abstract |
A study to determine the content validity of an education instrument to assess the clinical competence of Comprehensive Nursing Students and the reliability of the Nursing Teachers using the evaluation instrument to assess student Nurses performance depicted on videotapes of simulated clinical situations. 24 of the Nursing Teachers in a school of Nursing rated student Nurses clinical performance in simulated videotaped clinical settings. One half of these Teachers assessed the students without a specific evaluation instrument and their assessments were compared with the Teachers using the existing evaluation for assessing Nursing students' clinical competence. The evaluation instrument was judged to be valid in terms of content by the Nursing Teachers taking part in the study. Rated reliability of observer agreement was not demonstrated with 24 Nursing Teachers rating 3 Nursing Students' clinical performance as videotaped in simulated clinical settings. The usefulness of videotapes for determining observer agreement and as a tool for use in staff training workshops, in relation to assessing clinical competence of Nursing Students is established |

| Abstract |
Attitudes towards the concept of professionalism have not been explored to any great extent in this country, especially the attitudes of the Clinical Nurse practitioner. The importance of knowing what Nurses attitudes are to this concept is central to the recognition of the current developmental stage and growth of the profession. A twenty statement Like-style attitudinal questionnaire was given to Registered Nurses to measure current attitudes to professionalism. No statistical significance was found between the degree of positively to professionalism and years of service, educational qualifications eg, practise area, or involvement with a professional organisation. There appeared to be a positive relationship between questionnaire score and length of time in the current practise area ( the longer the service the higher the score). Further statistical significance was found in questions highlighting what Nurses think of Nursing as a profession. This study should form the basis of further research and provide some thought for Nurse leaders, educators and policy makers |
