Careful use of technology in education may enhance the ability of the nursing education profession to educate nurses for practice, prepare future nurse educators, and advance nursing science. To take full advantage of technology, several factors must be addressed. Superior distance education programs require substantial institutional financial investment, and program developers must consider coordination of services, hardware requirements, and ways to lower costs across state lines. Questions...

The disciplines of nursing and midwifery both uphold a powerful oral tradition that can impact upon student learning. Students enrolled in a Graduate Diploma of Midwifery are supervised and assessed by midwives during their placements in midwifery practice settings by a program of "preceptorship" support and where conversations are innate. Positioning theory, developed by Harre and others, is a metaphorical concept in which an individual "positions" herself/himself within...

This paper suggests that in order to facilitate the management of substance abuse problems, schools of nursing should adopt written, comprehensive, and equitable substance abuse policies for students, faculty, and staff. Such policies should be based on the assumption that substance abuse is an illness that can be treated successfully and the philosophy that schools of nursing are committed to assisting their students and employees with recovery. The policy should incorporate prevention and...

A group of health care ethicists and palliative care experts convened by the American Association of Colleges of Nursing developed a set of competencies that should be achieved through nursing curricula. The purpose of the 15 competency statements is to assist nurse educators in incorporating end-of-life content into nursing curricula. Every undergraduate nursing student should attain these competencies. Few schools would be expected to offer a discrete course in end-of-life care, and it is...

This essay examines ethical considerations in the nurse patient relationship, in particular the relationship between "professional morality" and the nurse's professional identity in the role of advocate for doctors, patients, and hospitals. A discussion of ethics and professionals explores professional ethics, the need for such ethics, and their expression in licensing and certification, where it is recognized that consumer interests are primary. The paper then expands on the notion...

The authors rewiew the literature on the current state of training for health professionals to cope with death and dying. They also comment on recent changes in cultural attitudes toward death. Representatives of the helping professions (counselors, teachers, nurses, doctors, clergy, social workers) should be better prepared to help people deal with fears and grief. A questionnaire study (Newfoundland) indicates that young trainees in nursing are more acceptant of death than older members of...

This paper discusses factors emerging from the health care reform movement that will shape health care service delivery in general and nursing practice and education in particular. First, cost concerns will increase moves toward managed competition which will, in turn, create changes in service use patterns. These patterns seem overall to tend toward decreased demand for professional nursing staff. These patterns will also eventually see nurses emerge with markedly different employment roles....

The implications for nursing education of the fact that nursing started as a woman's occupation in a field dominated by the male physician are considered. Although in 1873 nursing represented a real educational opportunity for large numbers of women, none of the prestigious women's colleges were interested in educating women for careers. In the nineteenth century, few medical schools demanded as much as a high school diploma for admission. Since the best physicians trained in hospitals, it was...
