Renor, C. (2012). Blogging about 'It'. Available through NZNO library, (19), 59–62.
Abstract: As nurses and students we all have our own 'its', which get out of perspective and cause us anxiety. By sharing this blog with you, I hope I help you with your 'it'. When all else fails try blogging about your 'it', and use reflection as a tool to grow yourself, instigate change and promote yourself as the evidence-based, caring nurse that you are.

Pool, L. (2012). How Culture Influences Choosing Nursing as a Career. Available through NZNO library, (19).
Abstract: The purpose of this study was to explore how young people make career choices and why young people choose or reject nursing as a career choice. This study has highlighted the complexity of this decision-making process, and the importance of making positive connections and offering appropriate support during this process. It seems that many young people are well equipped to make career decisions when given support.
The need to recruit people from minority cultures into nursing is a global issue. This study also highlights the need for an inter-sectoral approach to raise the profile of nursing and make a career that is attractive to young people.

Richardson, F. (2012). Editorial: Cultural Safety 20 Years On Time to Celebrate or Commiserate? Available through NZNO library, (19), 5–8.
Abstract: There needs to be more practice-focused research about how cultural safety is experienced by the recipient of care and how it is applied in nursing and healthcare delivery. [...]sociology, science, and knowledge developed from within northern hemisphere societies. Because the ground is different for knowledge arising from the New Zealand experience, theorising cultural safety must be different too.

Garrod, A. (2002). Cultural safety: Living with disability. Whitireia Nursing Journal, 9, 14–19.
Abstract: This article outlines some of the health experiences and concerns of people with physical and/or mental disabilities. These experiences and concerns are explored within the context of the practice of cultural safety. In 1996, the Nursing Council of New Zealand adopted its definition of cultural safety and defines 'culture', in the context of 'cultural safety', as involving all people who are not part of the culture of nursing. Each person with a disability is unique, and they may also be part of a larger disability culture, which has its own shared experiences, values, beliefs and lifestyles. People with disabilities are also a minority within the population. Therefore, any power they might have within their own culture is minimal, compared to the advantages enjoyed by the rest of the population.

MacIvor, K. (2012). Critical Elements of Pre-hospital Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation. Available through NZNO library, (19), 9–17.
Abstract: Baker et al., (2008) showed diminished rates of survival in the CPR-first group. Based largely on the evidence of the two Australian RCTs, the 2010 ILCOR guidelines removed the recommendation for CPR first, stating that 'there is inconsistent evidence to support or refute a delay in defibrillation to provide a period (90 s to 3 min) of CPR for patients in VF/pulseless ventricular tachycardia (VT) cardiac arrest' (ILCOR, 2010, p. e6).\n For this reason, and due to the increased chance of accidental defibrillation, it is the recommendation of the author that it only be used by health professionals who are able practise on a regular basis.

Lindsay, L. (2004). Atrocity tales: The language of terrorism in nursing (Vol. 11). Ph.D. thesis, , .
Abstract: In this paper, the author explores the concept of 'professional terrorism'. He exposes discrimination against male nurses as being a form of professional terrorism, primarily as it is enacted through use of language. He presents the concept of horizontal violence as a way to understand why nurses, as a marginalised group, perform oppressive acts towards male nurses, who are similarly oppressed. He outlines the cost of such a culture on nursing practice and presents strategies for change.
