Prelicensure Nursing

Workplace incivility is a known cause of anxiety in the workplace, leading to the loss of many new members of the nursing field. This perpetual cycle of hiring and losing nurses, especially new graduates, contributes to the increasing nursing shortage. This study investigated whether the inclusion of prelicensure nursing education on workplace incivility is achievable and capable of improving the outcome for nurses when it occurs. Review of the literature revealed that inclusion of prelicensure education on this topic is possible through utilization of a zero-tolerance policy, Cognitive Rehearsal Technique (CRT), and simulation. Education on workplace incivility and the aforementioned formats for prelicensure education were presented to faculty of a Southeastern U.S. college. Respondents demonstrated interest in detailed instruction on incorporating it into their teaching.

Background: The nursing profession is under more pressure than ever to hire clinicians that exhibit critical thinking (CT) skills. A review of the literature has identified a divide between bedside clinicians and nursing faculty resulting in the separation of academic educators from current clinical practices [1]. New graduates enter the clinical setting inadequately prepared to meet the clinical needs and demands of today’s hospitalized patients [2]. Method: A generic qualitative approach sought to explore the lived experience of BSN graduate nurses transition into clinical practice and to gain insight into how successful the nursing profession is training nursing students to meet the clinical demands of today’s hospitalized patients. Results: The results identified four themes: clinical rotation; didactic content and academia; transition to practice; and simulation. Conclusion: A theory-practice gap continues to exist in nursing education.

INTRODUCTION Nursing education consists of the theoretical and practical training provided to nurses with the purpose to prepare them for their duties as nursing care professionals. The scope of nursing practice reflects all the role and responsibilities undertaken by the nurse to address the full range of human experiences and responses to health and illness. The instructional strategies utilized in both didactic and clinical components of nursing education courses are highly influential in determining critical thinking and clinical decision making ability as well as in developing the psychomotor skill performance of new graduates. Simulation provides nursing students with opportunities to practice their clinical and decision-making skills through various real-life situational experiences. Although endorsed in nursing curricula, its effectiveness is largely unknown.

The projected need for critical care nurses can be met through the collaborative efforts of nursing education and nursing service. An approach as implemented at our institution with the support of community agencies can be mutually beneficial. It is generally recognized that new graduates tend to seek employment where they had positive student experiences. Although few students may choose critical care as a career, the majority will have a positive memory, which is supportive of the unique contribution of critical care nursing within the scope of the health and care of patients and their families.

High Competence

Professional nurses could be prepared through professional nursing programs. Professional nursing program is part of the nursing education program. One of the competencies required to be professional nurses is implementing evidence-based practice (EBP) to explore the best nursing interventions for patients to get optimal outcome. Nursing students have learned EBP during bachelor degree by analysis case using the EBP method. However, evaluation related  students' understanding of the method and its application of EBP to the clinical practice was none. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship of knowledge with student competency in the implementation of evidence based practice (EBP) to managed patients in the medical surgical nursing stage. This research is quantitative research. The sample in this study was 120 nursing students who were at professional nursing program that were recruited using total sampling technique. The instrument used is the Evidence Based Practice Questionnaire (EBPQ) questionnaire. The results showed that more than half of the respondents had high knowledge (68%), and high competence (49%). This study shows a meaningful relationship between knowledge of student competence in applying EBP (r = .6070, p <0.01). The findings of this study are important for recommendations related to developing teaching materials in nursing education related to for providing the best service for patients.

                The evolution of information technology has exerted great influence on nursing education via new pedagogy of knowledge delivery without time and place restriction. Mobile technology revolutionises nursing education and clinical practice via empowering skills of critical thinking and clinical decision-making through learning. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of using mobile messenger (Whatsapp) as an educational supporting tool among nursing students. The study design used is a Cluster Randomized Control Trail. Two nursing colleges were selected. Sample size was 93 participants, 48 from the Kuala Terengganu Nursing College Kuala Terengganu as the intervention group while the control group were recruited among 45 participants from UniSZA Nursing College. There is a significant difference in the level of knowledge between pre and posttest among intervention group (mean difference was -8.70 with a standard deviation 8.42, p-value< 0.001) and 93.8 percent of the respondents perceived the usefulness of using WhatsApp mobile messenger to enhance learning. This demonstrates that learning through mobile messenger (WhatsApp) enhances learning and is well received as a new method of learning by almost all students.   Keywords: Mobile learning, WhatsApp messenger, Social Interaction

Abstract Introduction Depression is prevalent among nursing students. Rumination and sleep-wake rhythms are associated to mental illness; however, no clear path has been found. This exploratory study aimed to examine the associations among circadian activity rhythms (CAR), rumination, and depressive symptoms in female nursing students; further, to test a hypothesized CAR conceptual model. Methods A total of 148 female nursing junior students in China completed a battery of questionnaires, including Athens Insomnia Scale (AIS), Ruminative Responses Scale (RRS), and Self-rating Depression Scale (SDS). Wrist actigraphy was used to collect total sleep time, CAR, and acrophase (time of the peak of the fitted activity curve). The path analysis was explored by using SPSS and AMOS. Results The mean age of the students was 20.64 years (SD = 0.86). About 58.8% of the participants were either mild or moderate depressed. About 93.9% of the students reported significant insomnia symptoms (AIS scores &gt;6). Rumination was measured by the RRS (M= 2.01, SD = 0.54), and students scored higher in brooding than that of reflective pondering (2.07 vs. 1.95). The average of TST was 394.59 minutes (SD = 51.92). The CAR ranged from 0.40 to 0.98, with a mean of 0.75 (SD = 0.11). The acrophase ranged from 12:46 to 20:14 (median 16:30), with a later acrophase indicates of a more delayed circadian phase. The final model shows satisfactory fit (χ2= 2.238, p= .327); a better CAR can indirectly reduce depressive symptoms by directly reducing brooding (B = -1.149) and improving insomnia symptoms (B = -6.6443). Conclusion In order to prevent psychological problems of nursing students, ruminating and CAR should be part of health screening. The novel conceptual model provides a basis for reforming nursing education to prevent psychological problems. Support (if any) Chinese National Natural Science Foundation [71603279]
