| Abstract |
This action research project explored the factors that helped or hindered student nurse clinical learning from the perspective of nurse educators, practitioners and students. Participant analysis of their own discussions identified both common and disparate views regarding the student's learning experience. Researcher analysis identified five practical and three organizational issues that influenced the development of more effective partnerships between these three stakeholder groups that would facilitate student clinical learning. The practical issues were how to deal with the 'problem' people in the learning process, how to clarify and develop the various roles in the learning context, how to generate more effective communication, how to respond more effectively to the impact of the changing environment, and how to maximize 'moments of learning'. The organizational issues were identified as the schisms between the disparate personal and organizational cultures that direct the way educators, practitioners and students, perceive, think, feel and act |

| Abstract |
A paper presenting the findings of a small research project involving a group of self-selected senior nurses of Wellington Hospital to explore the nature of nursing practice in the care and management of hospitalised patients and to formalise the language that would acknowledge its significance in the current effort of hospitals to define patient care pathways. The nature of hospital nursing practice was described in themes of a generic process of nurse-patient care that articulates a distinct specialism of hospital nursing, whatever the hospital department in which nurses hold positions. |

| Abstract |
The aim of this qualitative descriptive study was to explore the experience of new comprehensive nursing graduates as they adapted to working in the acute psychiatric setting. Interviews were conducted with four participants, focussing on their current work experiences and how the philosophical beliefs and values derived from their educational preparation fit with those they encountered within the practice setting. The data were analysed by noting common experiences, values and meanings and identifying the themes as they emerged. The themes were: transition to practice, conflict, contradiction, structural constraints, and the reality of the psychiatric setting. The results of the study confirm the concern that has been voiced by new graduates about the quality and quantity of current orientation programmes. Conflicting values and beliefs concerning the nature of mental health/psychiatric nursing has also become evident. It appears that the graduates' Comprehensive nursing preparation may have contributed to their feelings of unease as they attempted to fit their own values and beliefs about nursing with those of the acute psychiatric setting |

| Abstract |
The purpose of this study was to determine if there was commonality amongst teachers, in perceptions of the role of student self-assessment in the nursing programme. Four nurse educators, who were teaching and supervising students undertaking self-assessment in clinical practice, participated in a semi-structured interview. Three focus questions guided the interviews and addressed the individual teachers perception of self-assessment, what the teacher considered the benefits of self-assessment to be, and how the teacher used student's self-assessment's in their role as clinical supervisor. The taped interviews were transcribed, and coded and general themes identified. The findings revealed a high degree of consensus amongst the teachers in regard to the co-operative nature of self-assessment, and the teacher's role as a facilitator. The need for students to develop skills of analysis and reflection on their performance as well as the need to furnish students with clear guidelines on what to self-assess, were highlighted |

| Abstract |
The study reconceptualises the process of nursing practice where health is expanding consciousness. The praxis methodology and design derive from the findings of the previous study (Litchfield, 1993) through which a framework for personal practice was articulated. The philosophical premises were hermeneutic and dialogic reflecting a narrative orientation within a participatory paradigm. Ontology and epistemology merge and language is fundamental. The findings from this subsequent study depict the process of modeling practice as a tetrahedron to show inter-relatedness of four facets, each defined completely by the others: partnership, dialogue, pattern recognition and health as dialectic. Five young families with complex health circumstances were preferred by Plunket Nurses and visited at hole to talk about health and the family. Th e process of health patterning ended with indication of insight as the potential for action; the partnership ended as the closure of the initial contract to provide a summary text to the family. Transformative change in family living was identified. The continuous analysis of the scripts of the evolving conversations and summary text showed the relational, dialogic processes were identified as vision – finding purpose to act in the here-and-now against the backdrop of past and potential of the future; and community – a sense of being connected, participant and relevant in society. This process of research, as if practice, presented health and caring as synonymous and core of the discipline of nursing |
