Contracting for nurse education: nurse leader experiences and future visions.

The integration of nurse education into higher education establishments following Working for Patients, Working Paper 10 (DOH 1989a) has seen changes to the funding and delivery of nurse education. The introduction of contracting for education initiated a business culture which subsumed previous relationships, affecting collaborative partnerships and shared understanding. Discourse between the providers and purchasers of nurse education is vital to achieve proactive curriculum planning, which supports the development of nursing practitioners who are fit for award and fit for purpose. Research employed philosophical hermeneutics to guide the interviewing of seven nurse leaders within one region. Data analysis occurred within a hermeneutic circle and was refined using NUDIST. Two key themes were seen as impacting on the development of an effective educational strategy. Firstly, the development of collaborative working was thought to have been impeded by communication difficulties between the Trusts and higher education provider. Secondly, there was concern that curriculum developments would support the future evolution of nursing, acknowledging the professional issues impacting on nursing roles. The research findings suggest purchasers and providers of nurse education must move towards achieving mutual understanding and collaborate in developing a curriculum which will prepare nurses for practice and for award.

Educating nursing students with disabilities: one nurse educator's journey from questions to clarity.

Nurse educators are increasingly facing accommodation of students with disabilities in their nursing curricula, and questions regarding issues of fairness to all students and patient safety often rise. Several schools and state boards of nursing have turned to writing lists of essential functions of nursing to provide a framework. Before the list is written, educators need to examine their own thoughts on the definition of nursing and the abilities essential to functioning as a nurse.

Skills competency in nurse education: nurse managers' perceptions of diploma level preparation.

This paper reports on part of a national study conducted between 1994 and 1996, the overall aim of which was to examine the 'fitness for purpose' of the Project 2000 nursing education reforms. The study used multiple methods of data collection, including an individual and group interview study of nurse managers (n = 132) and a national survey of Project 2000 diplomates and traditionally prepared registered nurses (n = 5417). Findings in relation to the managers' expectations and experiences of diplomates are presented. This includes views on the level of skills achievement and skills acquisition of diploma level education. The qualities of the diplomates are discussed and this includes those areas where the skills of the diplomates are felt to achieve what is required of the role. Also included is an exploration of those skills which the managers felt fell short of expectations. Managers raised the long-standing concerns of clinical skills and competencies and discussed these in relation to the changing health care environment and the relative roles of other health care workers. The conclusions highlight the need to identify what could be seen as the 'core skills' required of a registered nurse and the need to explore the environment in which the diplomate takes up first appointment.
