Instant messaging and nursing students' clinical learning experience
Although learning in clinical settings is a key element of nursing education, for many learners these are challenging developmental contexts often marked by isolation and a lack of belongingness. Despite the massive appropriation of mobile instant messaging (MIM) platforms and the connective properties attendant to them, very little is known about their role in and impact on nursing students' clinical learning experiences.

Design thinking: Opportunities for application in nursing education
Nursing students need skills in creative thinking and empathy for navigating a diverse patient population and the ever-changing landscape of the current healthcare system (American Association of Colleges of Nursing (AACN), 2008). While a major focus of nursing education is fostering critical thinking and psychomotor skill development, educators must also foster creativity and innovation to tackle the problems facing healthcare today (Institute of Medicine, 2011). Additionally, employers look for graduates to possess empathy and embody a “caring professional” attitude (Griffiths et al., 2012). (Source: Nurse Education Today)

Cultural adaptation and validation of the Lasater Clinical Judgment Rubric in nursing students in Spain
The clinical judgment and decision-making abilities of nurses can influence many health outcomes, hence the importance of addressing these qualities in university studies. In this respect, clinical simulation is a commonly employed teaching method. The evaluation of simulation activities requires standardised instruments, such as the Lasater Clinical Judgment Rubric, which is widely used for this purpose, although a culturally adapted and validated version in Spain is not available.

Promoting Interprofessional learning and enhancing the pre-registration student experience through reciprocal cross professional peer tutoring
To improve collaboration and the quality of care, healthcare programmes are increasingly promoting interprofessional education thereby enabling students to learn with, from and about each other. A reciprocal peer learning model has developed among pre-registration physiotherapy and adult nursing students at Plymouth University, England. Embedded within the curriculum, it provides voluntary opportunities for year two students to become cross professional peer tutors to year one students while enhancing interprofessional understanding and skills acquisition.
