Evaluating competencies in clinical judgement that registered nurse students bring into a generic or individualized baccalaureate program has frequently posed problems for nursing faculty. This article describes the use of computer based simulations to evaluate educational and experiential learning as a means of according appropriate credit for clinical nursing courses and facilitating admission and progression within the existing undergraduate curriculum. Simulations developed for five courses represent typical client situations congruent with course and level expectations. Preliminary findings of the project have been highly encouraging.

ABSTRACT Objectives: to learn and analyze the structure of nurses’ social representations about transvestite people. Methods: a qualitative research based on the Theory of Social Representations, with 110 nurses enrolled in Graduate Nursing courses, who answered the Free-Association Test, with the stimulus ‘transvestite’. Data were processed by the software Ensemble de Programmes Permettant I’ Analysedes Évocations. Results: in the central nucleus, the term “prejudice” was the most evoked, followed by “homosexual”, “identity” and “female-make-up”. Social representation is anchored in the social organization in which transvestite people are still seen and/or associated with homosexuals who make up and assume an identity, without being seen and/or understood as they really are. Final Considerations: although prejudice is noteworthy as a central element, terms present in the peripheral system reveal that the group recognizes transvestites as a person with rights, which can translate into health care practices.

Coming To Know

Caring is at the center of nursing. Nevertheless, nurses seek to learn more about the meanings and common practices of caring as well as how to teach and enhance these practices. This article describes undergraduate and graduate nursing courses in caring that the authors developed and taught for more than eight years. Course foundations, organizational themes, structural patterns, and teaching strategies are presented. A phenomenological worldview that is consistent with Diekelmann’s “Concernful Practices of Teaching and Learning” undergirds course design. Emphasis is given to personal, aesthetic, ethical, and spiritual patterns of knowing and being, although empirical patterns are included. The structure of the courses focuses sequentially on care of self, care of others, and the creation of caring communities. Each class session is organized to include opportunities for reflection, lecture, discussion, and experiential exercises. Various expressions and interpretations of caring such as story, play, meditation, music, literature, and other art forms are used as teaching strategies. Journal writing is done regularly to encourage the habit of reflective practice.

ABSTRACT Objectives: to identify if nurses care for themselves and describe such practices. Methods: this is an integrative review of the literature published between 2006 and 2018 and indexed in the Literatura Latino-Americana e do Caribe em Ciências da Saúde, Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System Online and Web of Science databases. Results: the sample totaled 20 articles, grouped by content similarity in the thematic categories “limits and possibilities for the care of the self”, “knowledge about practices on the care of the self” and “implications of care of the self in professional practice”. Final considerations: the knowledge about techniques on caring for the self allows nurses to develop themselves personally and professionally. We suggest to managers and administrators a redirection of the nursing practice that contemplates the strengthening of the nurse as the manager of care and leader of the team, as well as the inclusion of the concept of care of the self in the curricula of undergraduate and graduate nursing courses.

The use of serial sections and computer-based 3-D reconstruction techniques affords an opportunity not only to visualize the shape and distribution of the structures being studied, but also to determine their volumes and surface areas. Up until now, this has been done using serial ultrathin sections.The serial-section approach differs from the stereo logical methods of Weibel in that it is based on the Information from a set of single, complete cells (or organelles) rather than on a random 2-dimensional sampling of a population of cells. Because of this, it can more easily provide absolute values of volume and surface area, especially for highly-complex structures. It also allows study of individual variation among the cells, and study of structures which occur only infrequently.We have developed a system for 3-D reconstruction of objects from stereo-pair electron micrographs of thick specimens.
