Nurses are part of a trusted profession, but they have been under-represented in conversations about health care compared with other, more vocal professionals. Nurses may not consider that they already have many leadership skills, and nurse educators in staff development roles are positioned to foster growth in other nurses. The relationship between nurse educators and their constituents provides the context for support that can motivate staff nurses to move beyond their concerns and accept challenges that may cause them some discomfort, such as writing for publication or public speaking. The leadership of nurse educators is essential to support colleagues who will shape the future of nur...

Many nurses use enduring materials to stay up-to-date in their areas of practice. Most professional nursing journals include at least one article that is available for continuing education credit. Face-to-face activities do not fit into the budgets or schedules of many nurses.

Nurses with at most an associate's degree in nursing/diploma were significantly more interested in pain management education than those with a bachelor of science in nursing or higher degree. The overall interest scores were high, indicating that the respondents found the topics salient to their clinical practice.

Nurse educators who appreciate the use of empowering, thoughtful questions in provocative ways can encourage learners to become astute thinkers and innovative problem solvers. Asking questions teaches learners to argue their thoughts, ideas, and decisions persuasively and ultimately to realize that is it not the right answer that counts as much as asking the right question.

The educators sought to determine whether a continuing education course improved the knowledge and skills of experienced nurses regarding the insertion of peripheral IV catheters and whether the nurses retained the knowledge and skills learned in a formal IV course over time. The findings showed that the continuing education IV course improved the knowledge and skills of experienced nurses. Improvement in k...

This process prepared them to synthesize relevant literature and develop their ideas into manuscripts. Ten nurses submitted their final manuscripts to refereed journals, and nine individuals or team members had their articles accepted. These accepted publications provided a boost to individual career development and stimulated further valuable professional dissemination goals. One major challenge was to seek further ways to find time to write while working in today's health care arena. Suggestions for ...

Little attention had been paid to how the charge nurse role was learned, and no organizational support was offered to develop nurses for this role. Collaborating with a nurse educator consultant, nurse managers developed and implemented a three-part educational program to reframe staff perceptions of the charge nurse role. Centered on principles of transformational learning, the program evaluation demonstrated that concerted efforts to improve staff satisfaction and effectiveness could be accomplished if staff were given new information and guided through focused discussion and reflection.

Practice tests and clinical examples provide opportunities for participants to engage in self-assessment and reflective learning and enhance their nursing knowledge, skills, and practice. These strategies also contribute to program evaluation and are adaptable to a variety of course formats, including traditional classroom, web conference, and online self-study.

Nurses need to respond sensitively and appropriately, and to teach nursing students how to prioritize and better allocate time. This is important not only for developing students' clinical skills but also for shaping their perceptions about the quality of the placement and their willingness to consider it as a potential work specialty. In this column, some simple, practical strategies that nurses can use to assist students with improving their time management skills are identified.

However, little information exists on current gaps in nurses' knowledge and their pain-related decision making. To this end, an educational intervention-the INROADS initiative-was designed to improve the knowledge of nurses involved in patient management as well as to guide them toward practices that are consistent with currently available evidence. The results from an evaluation of this intervention show that nurses participating in the INROADS program were 52% more likely to make evidence-based care choices for their patients, compared with a control group of demographically similar nurses. The effect of this program may reinforce it as ...

These findings have implications for nursing research, education, and practice.

Transcripts of interviews were coded for each incident and sorted to identify clusters of codes. Findings indicated that newly licensed nurses experienced both the benefits and the disadvantages of this training system. They benefited from extended learning through various experiences. However, they also experienced stress and lacked a sense of fulfillment because of the short term of each rotation.

Qualitative findings suggested that this was likely related to a high number of preceptors, heavy patient loads, and lack of tailoring of orientation to the needs of experienced nurses. The quantitative results showed that preceptors postintervention reported increased satisfaction and confidence for precepting in all five preceptor roles assessed quantitatively; qualitative findings further supported these findings. However, narrative findings indicated that a primary barrier to positive changes in a preceptor's practice was a heavy patient load while precepting.

It began with establishing acceptance and connection with the nurse unit manager and the ward team. In the early phases of developing rapport, bullying became apparent. Because bullying undermines sharing and trust, the hallmarks of learning environments, the early intervention work assisted staff to recognize and counteract bullying behaviors.
