| Title | Relearning how to learn: Enrolled nurse transition to degree at a New Zealand rural satellite campus | Type | Journal Article | ||
| Year | 2005 | Publication | Nurse Education Today | Abbreviated Journal | |
| Volume | 25 | Issue | 7 | Pages  |
519-526 |
| Keywords | Registered nurses; Enrolled nurses; Education; Maori; Scope of practice; Careers in nursing; Rural nursing | ||||
| Abstract | This paper reports a study that examined the factors that assisted or hindered the transition of a group of enrolled nurses to registration/degree programmes, via a flexible course developed by a North Island tertiary institution. The study follows ten enrolled nurses, primarily Maori and working in rural settings, as they continued to work while studying at a small satellite campus. The study was exploratory and descriptive, and utilised focus group interviews. Two major categories emerged from comparative analysis of the data. One category entitled 'relearning how to learn', demonstrated the cognitive and behavioural adaptations made and is the focus of this paper. The other category 'barriers and catapults', demonstrated the physical and environmental factors that influenced the students' transition but is outside the scope of this paper. Recent changes in New Zealand nursing education have witnessed the clarification of scopes of nursing practice and the controversial development of a new Certificate in Health Science (Nurse Assistant). Currently enrolled nurses are again facing threats to employment and it is envisaged that many will be seeking to undertake transition to registered nurse in the near future. | ||||

| Title | What are the views of Generation Y New Zealand Registered Nurses towards nursing, work and career?: a descriptive exploratory study | Type | Book Whole | ||

| Keywords | Generation Y; Registered nurses; Workforce retention; Work-life balance; Careers in nursing | ||||
| Abstract | Undertakes a descriptive exploratory study to ascertain the views of Generation Y NZ Registered Nurses (Gen Y nurses) towards nursing, work and career. Little empirical data exists about why young New Zealanders choose to become nurses in the 21st century. Further, little is known about their future career plans or their intentions to remain in the nursing workforce. Conducts a nationwide on-line survey of 358 Gen Y nurses from late 2009 to early 2010. Reports key findings: young NZ nurses are driven by traditional values of altruism, the desire to care for others, the ability to work closely with people, as well as being able to make a strong contribution to society when deciding to become a nurse, while seeking interesting, challenging and exciting work. Job security, the ongoing demand for nurses, the ability to leave and return, as well as the ability to combine work and family, are also important factors that help them to choose to become nurses. | ||||

| Title | Nurses' storied experiences of direction and delegation | Type | Book Whole | ||
| Year | 2017 | Publication | Abbreviated Journal | ||
| Volume | Issue | Pages |
295 p. | ||
| Keywords | Direction; Delegation; Enrolled Nurses; Registered Nurses; Narrative research | ||||
| Abstract | Offers a NZ perspective on direction and delegation, a professional competency required of all NZ nurses. Explores nurses' perceptions about their direction and delegation experiences using a narrative approach, reflecting the importance of story in nursing. Uses the methodology and methods of narrative research to uncover how Enrolled and Registered Nurses understand the knowledge, skills and attitudes required during delegation interactions and how they applied this understanding to their communication. Identifies eight patterns, presented as eight narratives, that emerged from interviews with Enrolled and Registered Nurses, and the implications for nursing practice, research, policy design, and nursing education. | ||||

| Title | What are the views of Generation Y New Zealand Registered Nurses towards nursing, work and career?: A descriptive exploratory study | Type | |||
| Year | 2012 | Publication | Abbreviated Journal | Available from the NZNO Library | |
| Volume | Issue | Pages |
290 pp | ||
| Keywords | Generation Y; Young nurses; Registered Nurses; Workforce planning; Attitudes to nursing; Surveys; Nursing shortages | ||||
| Abstract | The author has taken a broad approach to this research to explore the views of Generation Y New Zealand Registered Nurses towards the nursing profession, the work itself and their career plans. This study arose out of the author?s interest in health care workforce planning for nursing and in particular the retention of young nurses given the current national and global shortage of nurses. Because of the broad and descriptive nature of the research, a wide variety of topics are included in the literature reviewed. Chapter one provides background to the study and an overview of generational cohorts. Chapter two explores selected literature relevant to the concept of work and the characteristics of the Generation Y workforce. Other topics included in this chapter include Herzberg?s work motivation hygiene/maintenance theory and a selection of literature about key workforce recruitment and retention issues.

| Title | Health correlates of autonomy, control and professional relationships in the nursing work environment | Type | Journal Article | ||
| Year | 2003 | Publication | Journal of Advanced Nursing | Abbreviated Journal | |
| Volume | 42 | Issue | 3 | Pages |
260-268 |
| Keywords | Workplace; Occupational health and safety; Registered nurses | ||||
| Abstract | The aim of this study was to examine nursing in New Zealand and to see whether aspects of the work environment are associated with health status. A total of 225 registered nurses in a general hospital completed the Revised Nursing Work Index (NWI-R) and Medical Outcomes Study (MOS) 36-Item Short-Form Health Survey (SF-36). Ratings indicated that the New Zealand hospital environment was characterized by less autonomy and control and better nurse-physician relations than in USA hospitals. Results of correlations demonstrated that more positive ratings of the three workplace attributes were associated with better health status amongst the nurses. The results of regression analyses were indicative either of a confounding relationship or of a mediating relationship such that nurses' relations with physicians, administration and other departments mediate the associations between autonomy, control and health status. | ||||

| Title | International nurse migration: Impacts on New Zealand | Type | Journal Article | ||
| Year | 2007 | Publication | Policy, Politics, & Nursing Practice | Abbreviated Journal | |
| Volume | 8 | Issue | 3 | Pages |
220-228 |
| Keywords | Recruitment and retention; Registered nurses | ||||
| Abstract | Nurse migration flows in and out of New Zealand are examined to determine impacts and regional contexts. A descriptive statistics method was used to analyse secondary data on nurses added to the register, New Zealand nurse qualifications verified by overseas authorities, nursing workforce data, and census data. It found that international movement of nurses was minimal during the 1990s, but from 2001 a sharp jump in the verification of locally registered nurses by overseas authorities coincided with an equivalent increase in international registered nurses added to the local nursing register. This pattern has been sustained to the present. Movement of local registered nurses to Australia is expedited by the Trans-Tasman Agreement, whereas entry of international registered nurses to New Zealand is facilitated by nursing being an identified “priority occupation”. The author concludes that future research needs to consider health system and nurse workforce contexts and take a regional perspective on migration patterns. | ||||

| Title | Characterising Maori nursing practice | Type | Journal Article | ||
| Year | 2006 | Publication | Contemporary Nurse | Abbreviated Journal | |
| Volume | 22 | Issue | 2 | Pages |
203-213 |
| Keywords | Registered nurses; Maori; Nursing models; Culture | ||||
| Abstract | This paper summarises research which addresses the question What might constitute Maori nursing practice? The research design adopted was influenced by kaupapa Maori methodology and used a semi-structured, qualitative, in-depth interview process. It was found that by understanding the current experiences of Maori registered nurses, their reflections on their preparation for practice, and their current practice, it is possible to identify the present and future training and practice needs of Maori nurses. Maori nursing practice can be characterised as having five features: the promotion of cultural affirmation including cultural awareness and identity; the support of, and access to Maori networks; the adoption of Maori models of health; the enabling of visibility and pro-activity as Maori nurses; and, the validation of Maori nurses as effective health professionals. Three recommendations for promoting Maori nursing practice are made in relation to staff in the workplace and in nurse education programmes: all nursing staff need to be alert to: 1. the impact of western scientific models on Maori healthcare; 2. the (often passive) non-acceptance of Maori within mainstream institutions; and iii) the benefits of valuing indigenous nursing programmes. | ||||
