Bowen-Withington, J. (2022). Emerging discourses shaping high-fidelity simulation as an education platform in Aotearoa New Zealand pre-registration nursing education: A Foucauldian discourse analysis. Doctoral thesis, Auckland University of Technology, Auckland.
Abstract: Asserts that nursing needs to think critically about High-fidelity simulation (HFS) use, and its dominance, in the educational preparation of nurses. Draws on the tenets of postmodernism and Foucauldian discourse analysis methodology to question the discourses and discursive practices that influence the use of HFS as an approach to intentional and unintentional teaching and learning in pre-registration nursing education in NZ. Explores how this shapes nursing students' subjectivity and, ultimately, nursing practice.

Brasell-Brian, R., & Vallance, E. (2002). Clinical practice/education exchange: Bridging the theory-practice gap. Nursing Praxis in New Zealand, 18(1), 17–26.
Abstract: This article positions clinical practice/education exchange (CPEE) within nursing literature and presents narrative accounts from a nurse educator and clinician who exchanged jobs for one year. This type of exchange, between education institutes and service areas where students are placed, is a new concept. The aim is to enhance student learning and facilitating meaningful links between theory and practice for them.

Brinkman, A. (2008). Collating for collaboration: Tertiary education funding structures. Wellington: New Zealand Nurses Organisation.
Abstract: The nursing education environment is complex and varied, and is affected by both the education and health systems. This report backgrounds the funding systems that underwrite the Tertiary Education Commission (TEC) processes. The two primary objectives that have guided this collation are: to stimulate awareness and discussion of the issues around funding nursing education in New Zealand; and to promote understanding of the complex funding structures currently in place in New Zealand by students, nurses, nurse educators and nurse managers.

Abstract: Evaluates whether simulation helps to prepare student nurses for clinical practice. Conducts a research project to establish if the use of simulation in nursing education provides added value to the clinical experience of students. Uses a qualitative, descriptive approach as the methodology to interview a voluntary purposeful sample of nursing students enrolled across the BN programme. Aministers focus group interviews with 10 nursing students from semester two through to final semester, year three.

Chapman, C. (2006). The elective way: An exploration of pre-operative education for orthopaedic joint replacements.
Abstract: This research paper provides a description and analysis of literature and research focusing on pre-operative education programmes available internationally and nationally for patients receiving total joint replacements. This discussion differentiates between pre-assessment and pre-operative education to provide an understanding that both aspects are important in there own right. Together pre-assessment and pre-operative education complement each other to provide total care for patients awaiting total joint replacement surgery. One way of alleviating apprehension experienced by the patient about their surgery is by providing appropriate joint replacement education programmes that meet their needs. This type of programme is a form of empowerment which provides patients with appropriate and relevant information. This allows the patient to be actively involved in their own care and enable them to make informed decisions. The importance of education, information and communication; anxiety and pain; family and peer support; mobility and insecurity is a common thread in the literature where patients describe their experiences and concerns following a total joint replacement. These concepts are discussed and related to why pre-operative education programmes are recommended to help alleviate patients concerns and are important in providing a total multidisciplinary approach to care.

Chenery, K. (2007). Building child health nurses' confidence and competence. Kai Tiaki: Nursing New Zealand, 13(5), 26–38.
Abstract: This article describes the development of the Generic Orientation Programme, Child Health Nursing and its perceived impact on practice after ten months, through two simultaneous evaluation surveys, seeking the views of programme participants and their nurse managers. The programme aims to equip the newly appointed RN in the child health cluster or the nurse working in a non-designated children's area with the knowledge and skills to safely care for children. These include basic anatomical and physiological differences; fluid and electrolyte management; safe administration of medication; pain management; recognition of the seriously ill child; and building partnerships with children and their families. A survey instrument eliciting qualitative and quantitative responses was used. The majority of nurse respondents believed they had gained new knowledge and described how they were incorporating it into everyday practice. Similarly, several nurse managers observed that nurses' clinical knowledge and skills had improved since attending the programme. In particular, responses from those working in non-designated children's areas suggested the programme had provided them with greater insight into the care of children.

Conroy, E. (2000). Nursing informatics in New Zealand: Evolving towards extinction? Ph.D. thesis, , .
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.
