Title Implementing a prescribing practicum within a Master's degree in advanced nursing practice Type Journal Article
Year 2007 Publication Nursing Praxis in New Zealand Abbreviated Journal
Volume 23 Issue 2 Pages 27-42
Keywords Advanced nursing practice; Education; Nurse practitioners; Prescribing; Teaching methods
Abstract This article reports the implementation of a collaborative project undertaken to monitor and improve the effectiveness of the prescribing practicum papers delivered within two Master's degree programmes in advanced nursing practice. The recent introduction of Nurse Practitioner registration in New Zealand has resulted in the development of a number of Master's degree programmes in which students can complete a Nursing Council of New Zealand approved programme for prescribing. For the study, a developmental action research approach was used. Data were collected through interviews with practicum students, their medical supervisors and academic staff. Formative findings were progressively used to refine delivery of the practicum papers and a thematic analysis of summative findings identified areas for further improvement. The findings suggest that the processes being implemented are developing well. The researchers recommend that further education is required to clearly differentiate medical and advanced nursing roles. They recommend that greater attention needs to be paid to the preparation of medical supervisors and, most significantly, revision of funding is required to more equitably support the ongoing development of nurses for advanced practice roles.

Title Implementing a prescribing practicum within a Masters programme in advanced nursing practice. A pilot study Type Report
Year 2006 Publication Abbreviated Journal NZNO theses and research material webpage
Volume Issue Pages
Keywords Prescription authority; Nursing; Education; Students; Advanced nursing practice
Abstract This report presents the findings and recommendations derived from a collaborative action research pilot project undertaken alongside the implementation of two nurse prescribing practicum courses. The students, teachers and supervisors participating in year long Masters' level prescribing practica at Auckland University of Technology (AUT) and Eastern Institute of Technology (EIT) were interviewed about their perceptions, concerns and actions relating the first time implementation of their respective practicum papers. Research findings suggest that the practicum implementation has been successful overall, however there is a need to refine delivery, and to review current funding arrangements.
