Scott, W. (2006). Listen to the beat of my heart: The lived experience of panic attack in undergraduate nursing students: An interpretive inquiry. Ph.D. thesis, , .
Abstract: This interpretive inquiry explores the lived experience of 3 undergraduate nursing students and one midwifery student who have panic attacks. The aim of the research is to give voice to these students and to raise awareness among nurse educators about the impact that panic attacks may have for them. The research question asks, “what is the lived experience of panic attack in undergraduate nursing students?” A semi structured interview was conducted with each student in order to gain significant data. The research identified four key themes implicit to the lived experience of panic attack analysis: Listen to the beat of my heart (embodiedness), fearfulness, shamefulness, and holding one's own (coping). The findings suggest that the lived experience of panic attack is embedded in the lifeworld of lived body, lived time, lived relation, and lived space. Panic attack affects students physically and emotionally and interpersonally. The significant finding is that nurse educators need be aware of the coping or non-coping strategies used by students and, most importantly, recognise the impact that panic attacks have on their study.

Abstract: Describes the current use of simulation in tertiary nursing education programmes leading to nurse registration, in Australia and NZ. Determines whether investments in simulation have improved uptake, quality and diversity of simulation experiences. Conducts a cross-sectional electronic survey distributed to lead nursing academics in nursing registration programmes in both countries.

Stewart, A., & Thompson, R. (2005). Exploring critical thinking: In conversation with a graduate. In J. McDrury (Ed.), Nursing matters: A reader for teaching and learning in the clinical setting (pp. 9-26). Dunedin: Otago Polytechnic.
Abstract: This report presents selected aspects of an inquiry based on a conversation with Raeleen, a graduate of a post-graduate nursing programme. Raeleen talks about her experience of critical thinking during her post-graduate studies. The authors suggest that, through this conversation, it is possible to explore the nature of critical thinking and examine the important roles teachers can play in facilitating its development. Includes discussion questions prepared by Rebecca Hennephof that consider the relevance and impact of critical thinking on nursing practice.

Vallant, S. R., & Neville, S. J. (2006). The relationship between student nurse and nurse clinician: Impact on student learning. Nursing Praxis in New Zealand, 22(3), 23–33.
Abstract: The purpose of this descriptive interpretive study was to explore relationships between student nurses and nurse clinicians. Eleven student nurses at the end of a three year Bachelor of Nursing programme in one institution participated in focus group interviews. Data gathered from the three focus groups were analysed using an inductive approach. Five categories, namely 'being invisible in the relationship', 'not stepping on toes', 'lost opportunities for learning', 'nurturance' and 'reciprocity' emerged from data analysis. These are presented with appropriate quotes to demonstrate the essence of participant experiences. Findings indicated that when students experienced relationships with clinicians as not being positive, this inhibited learning. Conversely, when students saw the clinician as participating actively and positively in the student/clinician relationship then student learning was enhanced. This evidence forms the basis for recommending further complementary research into the clinician's attitudes and perceptions related to their teaching role.

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.

Horsburgh, M., Lamdin, R., & Williamson, E. (2001). Multiprofessional learning: The attitudes of medical, nursing and pharmacy students to shared learning. Medical Education, 35(9), 876–883.
Abstract: This study has sought to quantify the attitudes of first-year medical, nursing and pharmacy students' towards interprofessional learning, at course commencement. The Readiness for Interprofessional Learning Scale (RIPLS) (University of Liverpool, Department of Health Care Education), was administered to first-year medical, nursing and pharmacy students at the University of Auckland. Differences between the three groups were analysed. The majority of students reported positive attitudes towards shared learning. The benefits of shared learning, including the acquisition of teamworking skills, were seen to be beneficial to patient care and likely to enhance professional working relationships. However professional groups differed: nursing and pharmacy students indicated more strongly that an outcome of learning together would be more effective teamworking. Medical students were the least sure of their professional role, and considered that they required the acquisition of more knowledge and skills than nursing or pharmacy students.

Feather, A. (2007). What is so hard about a drug calculation? An exploration into my experience of teaching the competency of drug dosage calculation to the undergraduate nursing student. Ph.D. thesis, , .
Abstract: This dissertation was written to promote the author's understanding of the development of drug calculation competency in the undergraduate student nurse. It explores and critiques the literature surrounding the topic and examines the differing teaching methods that are currently used to promote this competency. Findings from the literature were compared to her experience of teaching drug dosage calculation competency to second year undergraduate nursing degree students. This dissertation suggests that drug dosage calculation may be an ongoing problem for nursing students not only during their course of study but also post registration. It appears that age and educational background may be factors in determining whether or not the student will truly master the concept. Although highly debated, it does appear that the use of a calculator assisted the nursing students within the author's class with their arithmetic operation. However, problems associated with conceptual understanding remain notable. The recommendations from this dissertation include the use of varied methods of instruction, integration of both the theory and practical components and the possible use of the dimensional analysis method in the teaching of drug dosage calculation. The author suggests that further research is required both locally within the School of Nursing where she is employed and nationally to fully examine the extent of this issue. Research which is not only focused on the student's calculation ability and its progression over the course of their study but which also allows the School to collate data on age, educational background, culture and learning style would allow lecturers to gain greater insight into student competency, progress and learning needs. She goes on to say that the continued ongoing exploration of her own practice utilising action research is also required as this would assist her in meeting the needs of students and lead to an overall improvement in her practice.
