Graduate Nursing

Advanced practice is the conceptual focus for the first Master’s of Science in Nursing (MScN) program in Pakistan. Initiated at the Aga Khan University School of Nursing (AKUSON) in October 2001, this full time two-year program aims to prepare nurses who are leaders in nursing practice with advanced knowledge and skills for their roles in either urban, rural, tertiary-care or community settings. The significance of the progress must be emphasized in a country where most nursing education takes place at diploma level and relatively few opportunities exist for nurses seeking a baccalaureate degree. Other countries developing graduate nursing programs may benefit from the expereince in Pakistan.

Adjunct Nursing Faculty

Nursing and nursing education have been surrounded by discussions of shortages for many years. The United States lacks qualified nurses to care for its aging and increasing acutely ill population. The lack of qualified nurses stems back to several issues, at the forefront, a lack of qualified nurse educators. Due to the demand for skilled and competent nursing faculty, schools of nursing have been utilizing bedside nurses to teach in the clinical setting. While many are experienced bedside nurses, they may not be formally prepared to teach students. Clinical adjunct nursing faculty are also unique because they may never step foot on a college or school of nursing campus, teaching exclusively at the clinical site. This can lead to feelings of stress and lack of support from the other faculty members. It may also make it difficult to help prepare and guide clinical adjunct faculty as they teach and encounter educational issues without proper training. Mentoring is routinely cited as valuable to new faculty transitioning to the education role. The purpose of this study was to explore a new trend in mentoring, virtual mentoring, and determine if it is of value to clinical adjunct nursing faculty. Guided by a basic qualitative research design, eleven clinical adjunct faculty who have experienced virtual mentoring were interviewed in order to gather their perspective of the process and formulate interventions that may enhance the virtual mentoring process for this faculty population.

Catheter Failure

Prospective controlled trial with Tenckhoff, Toronto Western Hospital and Goldberg catheter showed a lower incidence of catheter-tip dislodgement from the pelvis with the Toronto Western Hospital catheter. A 1982 retrospective review of experiences, revealed significantly better one and two year catheter survival with the Toronto Western Hospital catheter #2 compared to the straight Tenckhoff catheter inserted at the bed side but not compared to the surgically inserted Tenckhoff catheter. Early dialysate leak was a significant compilation observed with the use of all catheters. Lateral placement of catheters has practically eliminated this complication. Catheter exit site infection now is the major cause of catheter failure.

In 1960, at the age of fifty-six, Frances U. Reiter (Figure 1) became dean of the newly established Graduate School of Nursing, New York Medical College, Flower and Fifth Avenue Hospitals. For Reiter, this bold venture in professional nursing education marked the attainment of a dream. Here at last was a graduate school of nursing requiring the baccalaureate degree for admission, under the direction of a nurse, and focused on education for advanced clinical practice. This paper tells the story of Reiter, the Graduate School of Nursing at New York Medical College, the development of an educational program for advanced nurse-clinician practice, and the belief that personal care of the patient is the heart of nursing.

Described, is a strategy session to identify how to integrate the Framework for Cultural Competence and Cultural Safety in Nursing Education (Aboriginal Nurses Association of Canada, Canadian Association of Schools of Nursing, Canadian Nurses Association) into a baccalaureate nursing program. Emphasis is placed on engaging a wider community building on faculty and institutional strengths and resources to gather a network of Elders, nurses, students, and faculty. Outlined, is the process to identify potential learning experiences, key resources for implementing the Framework, and developing an advocacy statement to influence School of Nursing (SON) and university level policy regarding commitment to the Framework, its values and principles. Written as a narrative, the information can be shared with other SONs as they move forward with their own work in cultural safety and Aboriginal nursing.
