| Abstract |
The author's art project “Posthuman Pathology” is a postmodern examination of the resolutely modernist culture of critical care medicine. She uses conceptual art practices in conjunction with the techniques of anti-aesthetics in order to dismantle, open out and critique ideas which are foundational to the culture of critical care. |

| Abstract |
This study, which is undertaken in the Southland area, explores the effect of the increasing specialisation of nursing services in what is a rural/urban environment. It is indicated in the literature that systemic changes in health, such as the health reforms, and the increase in the use of technology have meant that nurses are required to function in disease oriented roles rather than according to their more traditional generalist roots. A significant event, which also affected nursing scope of practice, was the transfer of nurse education to the tertiary education institutions environment from the hospitals in the mid 1970s. The traditional nursing hierarchy and its nurse leadership role disappeared and the adoption of specialist nurse titles increased, and identified with a disease or disorder, for example 'diabetes' nurse. The increase in specialist categories for patients contributed to the nurse shortage by reducing the available numbers of nurses in the generalist nursing pool. The nurses in this rural/urban environment require generalist nurse skills to deliver their nursing services because of the geographical vastness of the area being a barrier to specialist nurses. Workforce planning for nurses in the rural/urban then must focus on how to reshape the nursing scope of practice to utilise the existing resources. This study explores how key areas of health services could be enhanced by reclaiming the nurse role in its holistic approach, in mental health, public health, geriatric services and psychiatric services. |

| Abstract |
The aim of this study was to explore the practice of flexible learning for postgraduate nurses. Flexible learning is a contemporary approach to learning that utilises the benefits of technology. Flexible learning can be understood as a continuum, from fully on-line or web-based courses, to those that are on-campus and supported by technology. Internationally, the rise of flexible learning has been influenced by increased demand for higher education and competition among providers within the context of reduced education funding. The study population, New Zealand postgraduate nurses, are accessing higher education in increasing numbers to advance their practice and to position themselves for new roles and opportunities. These are often experienced nurses yet inexperienced in higher university education, who combine study, work and other commitments. The study employed a qualitative case study design because it enabled multiple perspectives to be gained. Data included documentation, participant observation, survey, students' assessed work and interviews with key stakeholders: student, teacher and the organisation. Thematic analysis was conducted on reviewed documentation, participant observation and interviews. The study identifies the elements that contribute to flexible learning and the interconnectedness between the elements within the dynamic context of a university to illustrate that effective flexible learning can be provided by using a student centred approach to ensure the learning needs of postgraduate nurses are met. The author concludes that flexible learning improved access, choice, and provided an emphasis on the student as central to learning. In response to these findings the weighting of recommendations are toward the organisation as, the author suggests, it is at this level where greater change can be made to improve support for flexible learning provision. |

| Abstract |
This project undertakes a critique and review of a decade (1990-2000) of available New Zealand literature to reveal the current state of nursing informatics utilisation in nursing practice. Since the early 1990s, nurses from diploma and baccalaureate nursing programs have been graduating with knowledge and skills in nursing informatics. Yet, when scrutinising the two main nursing publications for New Zealand, the author found scant publication of articles that pertain to this topic area of nursing. Competencies as product of the 1989 Guidelines for Teaching Nursing Informatics are a key consideration in this discussion, including ways in which the articles may reflect the content or intent of the Nursing Informatics curriculum as prescribed in these guidelines. This commentary discusses how nursing informatics has evolved in New Zealand nursing practice, situating its growth, or lack of, in the context of concurrent sociopolitical influences as well as conditions created by national and international nursing trends. Several recommendations are discussed to guide the future direction of nursing informatics for nursing education and practice in New Zealand. |

| Abstract |
Computerised technology has become a way of life. As nurse graduates enter a computer driven health care system we have a responsibility as nurse educators to ensure that they are computer familiar as borne out by the recent discussion papers released by the Nursing Council of New Zealand (2000a), which define the requirements for the practitioner of the future. Concurrently there is a call from the discipline of nursing for practitioners who have a form of knowledge that will bring about change within the socio-political context of the discipline as an outcome of critically reflective knowledge skills. Jurgen Habermas' (1971) treatise on knowledge and human interests, which offers a multi-paradigmatic approach to three forms of knowledge culminating in the emancipatory form provides a conceptual framework for many under-graduate pre-registration nursing curricular in Aotearoa-New Zealand. This thesis explores the author's ideas about contemporary undergraduate pre-registration nursing preparation in Aotearoa-New Zealand, associated knowledge outcomes, and the consequent links with contemporary computer-mediated communication (CMC) technologies. It positions a framework for integrating CMC technologies and the action of critically reflective practice as a learning journey. The framework is hypothetical and pragmatic. It emerges from the exploration of the thesis and is posited as a way toward integrating CMC technologies within extant undergraduate pre-registration nursing curricular in Aotearoa-New Zealand. The learning journey is comprised of three dimensions, learning-for-practice, learning-from-practice and learning-with-practice and draws on four different cyber constructs: being, knowing, relating and dialoguing. Knowing, relating and dialoguing are ontological positions taken in relation to being. The learning journey sustains some derivation from Habermasian (1971) based conceptual framework. There is a need for nurse educators to consider this in relation to contemporary CMC technologies. The author hope that this framework will serve those with an interest in nurse education and who are interested in a future using CMC technologies within the realities of nursing practice and education. |

| Abstract |
Mobile computing is rapidly becoming a reality in New Zealand health care settings. Personal Digital Assistants (PDAs) are the most frequently used of these mobile technologies, giving nurses access to clinical learning resources, including drug references, medical encyclopaedias and diagnostic information. The implementation of mobile computing at Waikato Institute of Technology (Wintec) will ensure graduates of our Bachelor of Nursing Programme are able to meet health care service demands for knowledge in contemporary information technologies as well as the information technology requirements defined by the Nursing Council of New Zealand and the Health Practitioners Competency Assurance Act 2003 for registration as a nurse in New Zealand. This paper presents strategies for the implementation of mobile computing as a core element of the curriculum for the Bachelor of Nursing Programme at Wintec in Hamilton. |

| Abstract |
This article seeks to investigate the attitude of nurses and midwives to the withdrawal of care from sick neonates. Advanced technology results in the survival of increasingly premature babies with extremely low birthweights and this has inevitably led to an increase in the ethical dilemmas faced by neonatal staff as to whether continued treatment is actually in the best interests of these infants. Part 1 reviews the literature on this subject. Part 2 describes the results of a survey carried out in a New Zealand NICU. |

M-Learning compliments and supports E-Learning and incorporates technologies such as the use of mobile phones, PDAs and pod casting. A sub function of M-Learning is M-Support which is the provision of support for the mobile student. This paper describes a pilot project using short message service – mobile technology -to M-support nursing students in primary health care clinical placements. Forty one students took part in a mixed methods study to assess the project against a pre determined set of criteria. The results indicated that students did feel supported by the messages, cost was not prohibitive, flexibility in communication was appreciated, and the acceptance was high. |

| Abstract |
This paper describes a survey undertaken with postgraduate nursing students in a university-based school of nursing in 2002 to establish their access to and use of computers and information technology for study. Whilst there was minimal flexibility and use of technology to support student learning for postgraduate nurses in the school, the university proposed increasing flexibility across all courses. This is in part a response to the increased internationalisation of education and developments in technology affecting programme design, delivery and support that can benefit teachers and students. The author notes that the findings of this survey form a basis for planning the introduction of flexible learning. Results indicated that not all students have convenient access to technology for study purposes, nor are they at the same level in terms of using technology. |
