Nurses' experiences of managing patient deterioration following a post-registration education programme: A critical incident analysis study
The aim of this study was to explore nurses' experiences assessing and managing deteriorating patients in practice following completion of a relevant post-registration education programme.Recognising the increasing acuity of ward patients, nurses are faced with patients who are at an increased risk of deterioration. Patients who are acutely ill or deteriorating often exhibit periods of physiological deterioration; however there is evidence illustrating that these clinical changes are frequently missed, misinterpreted or mismanaged in practice.

Learning style preferences of Australian accelerated postgraduate pre-registration nursing students: A cross-sectional survey
Graduate entry programs leading to registration are gaining momentum in nursing. These programs attract student cohorts with professional, cultural, gender and age diversity. As a consequence of this diversity, such accelerated programs challenge traditional pedagogical methods used in nursing and require different approaches. To date, however, there has been limited research on the learning styles of students undertaking these programs to inform academics involved in their delivery. Kolb's Experiential Learning model has been used widely in a variety of educational settings because it is based on the theory of experientia...

Identifying the needs of critical and acute cardiac care nurses within the first two years of practice in Egypt using a nominal group technique
Nursing in Egypt faces many challenges and working conditions in health care settings are generally poor. Little is known about the needs of new nurses transitioning in Egypt. The literature focuses on the first year of practice and only a small body of research has explored the transition needs within acute care speciality settings. This paper reports on the important professional needs of new graduate nurses working in an acute cardiac setting in Egypt during the first two years of practice and differences between their perceived most important needs.

Promoting resilience among nursing students in clinical education
Resilience is the ability to overcome adversity and grow stronger from the experience. Increased resilience has been shown to positively impact nurses in practice. With this knowledge, recommendations to incorporate resilience training into nursing education have been made. Research, integrative reviews and a theoretical model of resilience in nursing students are explored in this paper. The authors posit that facilitating resilience is important in the setting of clinical education. Through incorporating resilience training in the clinical setting, educators can better prepare students for challenges in their educational ...

Disadvantaged? Dual level learning in pre-registration graduate entry nursing and midwifery education: An evaluation
Preparation for health or social work professional registration is offered at undergraduate and postgraduate level and the requirement to co-teach is often resource and logistically mediated. This learning context creates opportunity to explore student perceptions of learning in dual level cohorts.Evaluative research of dual level learning is limited but suggests that the quality of learning experiences is influenced by factors such as establishing a cohort identity, managing individual perceptions of ability and the value of individual contributions to the cohort experience.

Supporting nurse mentor development: An exploration of developmental constellations in nursing mentorship practice
Supervised practice as a mentor is currently an integral component of nurse mentor education. However, workplace education literature tends to focus on dyadic mentor-student relationships rather than developmental relationships between colleagues. This paper explores the supportive relationships of nurses undertaking a mentorship qualification, using the novel technique of constellation development to determine the nature of workplace support for this group.Semi-structured interviews were conducted with three recently qualified nurse mentors.
