Heroism and nursing: A thematic review of the literature
Nursing history is replete with examples of heroic individuals acting courageously to meet the needs of vulnerable patients and communities. Heroism exemplifies the pinnacle of self-actualised behaviour. It fuels the plots of countless human stories, and enthrals and inspires people. Yet, heroism may be seen as an extreme behaviour that only exceptional individuals are capable of enacting, and may thus be seen as out of reach for ordinary nurses, and something that could be risky to teach and disseminate.

Teaching self-management support in Dutch Bachelor of Nursing education: A mixed methods study of the curriculum
Nurses are expected to support people to self-manage. Student nurses therefore need to master competencies that include the assessment of peoples' needs and preferences, and shared decision-making, whilst respecting and enhancing peoples' autonomy. Adapting nurse education programmes to meet this goal requires insight into the practice of teaching self-management support. In order to reveal this practice, one can distinguish between the intended, the taught, and the received curriculum. (Source: Nurse Education Today)

Clinical learning experiences of nursing students using an innovative clinical partnership model: A non-randomized controlled trial
Clinical practicum is a major learning component for pre-registration nursing students. Various clinical practicum models have been used to facilitate students' clinical learning experiences, employing both university-based and hospital-based clinical teachers. Considering the strengths and limitations of these clinical practicum models, along with nursing workforce shortages, we developed and tested an innovative clinical partnership model (CPM) in Hong Kong.

Mitigating the Challenges of Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE) in Nursing Education: A Phenomenological Research Study
Objective evaluation of clinical competencies is a key component of undergraduate nursing education programs. Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE), widely used in nursing education internationally has limited utilization in undergraduate nursing programs in the United States. The efficacy of OSCE as a valuable method of objective evaluation of students' clinical competencies is not so much the problem for the nursing faculty; overcoming the impediments of its implementation is a much greater challenge.

Online nursing education: Reform from within our humanity
The current economic reality and financial situation of universities in the USA lead nursing educators to a close examination of reasonable actions to take nursing education to the future. The technological era ripped the idea of university in the tradition of the enlightenment period to introduce the cloud-platform university where space is ethereal and higher education is amply available to meet the contemporary needs of learners. Transitioning a larger number of courses to the online environment is an option to be considered and may be rewarding. (Source: Nurse Education Today)

“Feeling part of a team” a mixed method evaluation of a dedicated education unit pilot programme
The clinical learning environment is integral to the sustainability of the nursing workforce. Traditionally undergraduate nursing students were preceptored one-to-one with a registered nurse. With an increasingly complex clinical environment and more RNs working part-time, that model has become problematic. The Dedicated Education Unit (DEU) is a model of student learning whereby students are nurtured by all staff in a clinical area, clinical and academic staff collectively support the student and student learning is a collaborative process.
