Abstract |
In New Zealand, there is a festering debate over a theory-practice gap in nursing. Joint appointments present as a potential solution to this issue. Joint appointments refer to a variety of arrangements whereby concurrent employment occurs within an educational institution and a clinical setting.Advantages for the appointees include job satisfaction, and professional growth. Clinical credibility for nurse educators enables improved facilitation of student learning. In clinical areas, benefits in patient care are associated with the marrying of academic rigor with clinical practice. Some appointees input into staff development, act as consultants on nursing issues and undertake research. Disadvantages in the concept focus on role conflict (incongruity between the roles) and role ambiguity (lack of clarity concerning expectations). Success of the ventures depends upon the personal attributes of appointees; realistic expectations; flexibility to allow the concept to evolve; and support from colleagues and management.This research describes a case study of a joint appointment between a nurse lecturer and a senior staff nurse in an acute forensic psychiatry unit. Advantages, disadvantages and reasons for success are discussed in relation to the literature findings. The discussion focuses on the need to develop research methodology to further clarify potential benefits and advantages |

Abstract |
This article describes the Nursing and Midwifery Practice Structure, which has been in place at Healthcare Hawkes Bay since 1996. It was developed to provide nurses and midwives in clinical positions with a professional development structure, and uses a framework to recognise and reward competence. It encourages clinical progression and was developed to link nursing competence with remuneration. The Practice Structure, based on the work of Patricia Benner (Benner, 1984), is made up of 4 levels: Beginner/Advance Beginner Practitioner, Competent Practitioner, Proficient Practitioner, Expert Practitioner. The Structure was reviewed in 1998, and a Steering Group was formed to collect feedback from nurses and midwives, identify areas of concern, and make recommendations for improvements. At the time of writing, these recommendations are being implemented and systems are being developed to ensure the Nursing and Midwifery Practice Structure continues to develop. |

Abstract |
Changes brought by the Mental Health Act (MHA) to clinical practice, and some of the problems it has created for nurses, are examined in this article. Compulsory assessment and treatment orders (CATO) and the role of Duly Authorised Officers (DAO), and moral dilemmas that can arise as a consequence of CATOs used by DAOs are examined. The requirement for DAOs to act as patient advocates and to safeguard cultural beliefs are highlighted. The MHA promotes self responsibility and a treatment philosophy rather than detention of the mentally ill. |

Abstract |
The author presents a case study of a joint appointment between a nurse lecturer and a staff nurse in an acute forensic psychiatry unit. He explores the advantages, disadvantages and reasons for success in relation to the findings of a survey of the literature on joint appointments. This technique is seen as a means of narrowing the gap between theory and practice which resulted when nurse training was transferred from hospitals to polytechnics. He highlights the need to develop research methodology to clarify potential benefits of this approach. |
