As nurses and students we all have our own 'its', which get out of perspective and cause us anxiety. By sharing this blog with you, I hope I help you with your 'it'. When all else fails try blogging about your 'it', and use reflection as a tool to grow yourself, instigate change and promote yourself as the evidence-based, caring nurse that you are. |

| Abstract |
This paper discusses how students become able to work with sick patients for whom they may feel disgust or discomfort. It is a sustained engagement with the literature on abjection and disgust and is not the outcome of evaluation research. It considers the role of problem-based learning pedagogy in facilitating students' negotiation of their own discomfort and horror, and describes experiences which enable them to approach abject patients with more comfort and less disgust. The paper argues the importance of creating spaces where students can explore issues which are distressing and disturbing so that they will feel able to remain in nursing. |

| Abstract |
The author presents a case study of a joint appointment between a nurse lecturer and a staff nurse in an acute forensic psychiatry unit. He explores the advantages, disadvantages and reasons for success in relation to the findings of a survey of the literature on joint appointments. This technique is seen as a means of narrowing the gap between theory and practice which resulted when nurse training was transferred from hospitals to polytechnics. He highlights the need to develop research methodology to clarify potential benefits of this approach. |

| Abstract |
This article describes the development of the Generic Orientation Programme, Child Health Nursing and its perceived impact on practice after ten months, through two simultaneous evaluation surveys, seeking the views of programme participants and their nurse managers. The programme aims to equip the newly appointed RN in the child health cluster or the nurse working in a non-designated children's area with the knowledge and skills to safely care for children. These include basic anatomical and physiological differences; fluid and electrolyte management; safe administration of medication; pain management; recognition of the seriously ill child; and building partnerships with children and their families. A survey instrument eliciting qualitative and quantitative responses was used. The majority of nurse respondents believed they had gained new knowledge and described how they were incorporating it into everyday practice. Similarly, several nurse managers observed that nurses' clinical knowledge and skills had improved since attending the programme. In particular, responses from those working in non-designated children's areas suggested the programme had provided them with greater insight into the care of children. |

| Abstract |
Research suggests that the experience of being a preceptor can be rewarding, but there are challenges which may impact on their ability to fulfil the preceptorship role. In an effort to understand the experiences of being a preceptor and the factors that impact on that role, a qualitative descriptive study was undertaken in a small provincial hospital in New Zealand. A purposeful sample of five registered nurse preceptors completed semi-structured audio-taped interviews. Seven common categories were developed from the data – willingness to engage, building a relationship, letting go, support, workload, students in the clinical setting and making judgements. The author notes that this research has highlighted that preceptors need prior notice that they are going to be having student nurses so that they can be better prepared; preceptors and student nurses also need to be rostered together for the whole placement to allow a one-on-one relationship to develop. Preceptors would benefit from having a lighter workload during the first few days of preceptoring as then they can spend more time teaching the student. Schools of nursing and hospitals also need to have an ongoing collaborative relationship in planning and supporting the preceptorship program; this would further support preceptors in their role. The lecturer from the school of nursing needs to be contactable and available to both the preceptor and the student to clarify any misunderstandings and as a resource should any problems arise. |

| Abstract |
The New Zealand emergency department (ED) nurse is faced daily with the challenge of caring for patients of all ages with a wide variety of presenting complaints. Courses are available for ED specialty work such as trauma and paediatric assessment. However, this thesis argues, it is difficult to access updated and ongoing education in relation to caring for people with mental health problems who present to the emergency department. In addition to this education deficit, are the challenges of providing care in an overcrowded ED environment. The author goes on to say that such factors contribute to a perceived lack of confidence and sometimes ambivalence or frustration on the part of nursing staff in caring for this group. This may result in an inconsistent standard of care for the person with a mental health problem unless such issues are addressed. The aim of this research paper was to explore the education needs of ED nurses when caring for people with mental health problems. A literature review was undertaken to investigate the broad education strategies available to overcome these challenges. Diverse approaches were identified such as workshops, clinical guidelines, and mental health consultation-liaison roles. Research was also identified that examined ED nursing attitudes and their learning needs in relation to mental health. This paper concludes with a discussion of recommendations for the New Zealand setting with the intention of developing a more confident and competent nursing workforce, who are better prepared to care for the person with a mental health problem. |

| Abstract |
The aim of this research paper is to explore the processes of clinical decision-making in relation to emergency nurses and to examine the educational requirements for the development of clinical decision-making skills. Clinical decision-making is foundational to professional nursing practice. It is the expectation of the profession and the organisations in which nurses work that appropriate clinical decision-making will occur. Patients also rightly expect, when being cared for by nurses, that the clinical decisions pertaining to their care will be optimal. |

This article positions clinical practice/education exchange (CPEE) within nursing literature and presents narrative accounts from a nurse educator and clinician who exchanged jobs for one year. This type of exchange, between education institutes and service areas where students are placed, is a new concept. The aim is to enhance student learning and facilitating meaningful links between theory and practice for them. |

| Abstract |
Using an educational action research model, a nursing lecturer based in a polytechnic and ten students formed a research group to address one issue that was important to them. The research group chose to plan, implement and evaluate a practical change strategy aimed at improving the teaching and learning relationship between students and staff nurses in clinical settings. A sample of five staff nurses working closely with five students in the group was invited to join the study in order to gain their perspectives on the issues. The findings were that contract learning provides a strategy which, under certain conditions, offers both students and staff nurses an opportunity to improve the effectiveness of their interactions. |
