Preparing nurses for preceptorship.

Abstract

The introduction of Project 2000 diploma-level courses in Scotland raised many questions about how a smooth preparation and transition could be effected. One of the main difficulties related to how the new students' supernumerary status would affect their learning experiences in clinical areas, and how practitioners could be helped to make the students' experiences valuable in educational terms. This article describes how one Scottish college decided to employ preceptorship as the framework for clinical supervision, and how it prepared practitioners for their new responsibilities.

Now and then: a fountain pen, surgical scissors and a blue cardigan.

It was about 10 years ago that nurse education moved to the universities. Perhaps, this is a good time to consider what we think of this move. Inevitably, there were advantages and disadvantages to the 'old system' but there is more to it than that. Many of us have clear memories of the preliminary training school, living-in and the greater discipline in those days. These memories are often cherished and for good reason. To appreciate the full depth of change that has taken place we need to look a little further back than 1996, we need to look back to the 1950s and 1960s. This was the heyday of the school of nursing.

The development of the model for recognition of prior learning for nurses in South Africa. Implementation of the RPL guidelines by three nursing education institutions.

The purpose of the study that this article is based on, was to develop and test an appropriate model for Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) for nurses. To test the model it was implemented in a form of pilot projects by three Nursing Education Institutions. The study adopted a multi phase decision oriented evaluation research design. Stuffelbeam's Context, Input, Process and Product evaluation model was used as a theoretical framework to guide the research process, This article presents the second phase of the RPL development project. The first objective of this phase namely the extent to which the RPL guidelines were followed is discussed. The second objective, identification of any barriers to RPL implementation is also discussed under problems experienced by both RPL advisors and candidates. Recommendations are made based on the barriers.
