| Title | A clinical audit of a nurse colposcopist: Colposcopy, cytology, histology correlation | Type | Journal Article | ||
| Year | 2005 | Publication | Nursing Praxis in New Zealand | Abbreviated Journal | |

| Abstract | A clinical audit was undertaken to assess the diagnostic skills of the nurse colposcopist measuring colposcopy: histology: cytology correlation. At National Women's Health the first New Zealand nurse colposcopist training programme was developed in 2000. A retrospective audit of the colposcopy clinical records was performed during the nurse's training programme between July 2000 and March 2002. An 82% (82/100) histology: cytology: colposcopy correlation was achieved by the nurse in the third phase of her training programme. The results are comparable with other reported studies involving medical and nurse colposcopists. Expertise in colposcopy examination can be incorporated into the broader role of a Nurse Practitioner working in the area of women's health. | ||||

| Title | Comparison of catheter-securing devices | Type | Journal Article | ||
| Year | 2000 | Publication | Urologic Nursing | Abbreviated Journal | |
| Volume | 20 | Issue | 1 | Pages | 43-46 |
| Keywords | Nursing specialties; Evaluation | ||||
| Abstract | This study evaluates methods of securing urethral urinary catheters, which are a major part of urologic nursing. Basic procedures such as these are poorly researched or reported in the literature. The question of how to secure a urinary catheter and with what device often relies on knowledge, availability of equipment, and on information supplied by manufacturers of commercial devices. This study finds that sometimes the cheaper option of adhesive tape and pin device can still be the best for patients. | ||||
