WHAT MADE THEM STAY? MALE NURSING STUDENTS’ PERCEPTIONS ON ENTERING AND COMPLETING NURSING SCHOOL

The purpose of the study was to explore the lived experiences of male nursing students and recent graduates of nursing school as related to their attraction to the profession, recruitment into a nursing school, retention and persistence toward attainment of a baccalaureate nursing degree. The participants in the study included male baccalaureate nursing students who were engaged in their last year of nursing school, and male recent graduates who successfully completed their baccalaureate nursing degree within the last three years. The participants were between 24 to 46 years of age. The study employed a phenomenological design. A semi-structured interview protocol was developed to conduct one-to-one interviews with six male nursing students and recent graduates regarding participants’ perceptions of their lived experiences within their nursing schools and the profession. By understanding factors that influence male students’ attraction to the profession, recruitment into a nursing school, and retention and persistence of male baccalaureate nursing students toward successful attainment of a nursing degree, recommendations for best practices and structural improvements within institutions of higher education can be used to mediate the nursing shortage by creating equity and access for gender inclusion in the profession

Student Demographics with Changing Admission Criteria: Is Nursing Diversity at Risk?

Schools of nursing are challenged with choosing from an increasing number of applicants and the need to prepare as many successful nurses as possible to meet the nursing shortage. Strategies have included increasing student enrollment, utilizing accelerated programs, and changing admission criteria. This study describes the demographic characteristics of three classes of nursing students admitted under different criteria to the same nursing school. The value of maintaining a high level of ethnic diversity is guided by Leininger\u27s theory of cultural care diversity and universality. Although changes occurred in the demographic constitution of each nursing class, ethnic diversity was maintained as admission criteria were made more stringent

The State of the Applicants to Our Midwife Training

Nursing students taking the entrance examination for our midwifery training program in the academic year 1992-1993 were evaluated with regard to what motivated them to apply to our program and their plans after graduation. The results were as follows : 1. The wish of the nursing students themselves was the decisive factor in their decision to apply. 2. Our investigation revealed that 10% of the nursing students decided to take up midwifery after graduation from nursing school; 25% decided to do so before their entrance to nursing school : and 65% made up their minds while they were still at nursing school. 3. The applicants planned to work as professional midwives for a long time after their completion of the midwifery training program. 4. Junior college graduates, after receiving authorization from the National Institution of Academic Degrees, were motivated to apply to our midwifery training program for the explicit purpose of acquiring a bachelor's degree

Evolution of Nursing Education in Portugal— a historical analysis of the Nursing School at the Hospital Geral de Santo António in Porto (1896-1947)

The present study seeks to analyze the historical evolution of nursing education at the Hospital Geral de Santo António in Porto, during the period from the creation of the Nursing School in 1896 to the curricular standardization of nursing education in Portugal, introduced in 1947 by Decree-Law No. 36219. Using a qualitative methodology, this historical analysis of original documentation (the reports of the Santa Casa da Misericórdia do Porto and the statutes of the Nursing School) revealed a constant scientific updating of both the medical discipline and the concept of healthcare in Portuguese hospitals. A link is also established between the development of the medical profession and that of nursing and ancillary staff as a relevant factor for achieving the aim of improving the quality of care provided. The Nursing School was therefore created, based on the provision of training in medical treatment, the application of dressings, and the concepts of sepsis and antisepsis. In 1935, the course was reformulated and, under its new statutes, theoretical and practical disciplines were given a major role. Finally, in 1947, at the initiative of the government, the nursing curriculum was standardized throughout the whole of the national territory, thereby initiating a new phase in its existence. In this way, this Nursing School embarked upon a process of professional accreditation, forming more demanding curricula and responding to the constant needs of a changing society, of which that of the twentieth century is a good example.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio

“Help! Building Resilience in Nursing School

Background: The nursing shortage is only growing in the United States, and poor nursing student retention is not helping the situation. Resilience must be promoted among nursing students to establish a healthy foundation for when they enter the nursing profession. One method for doing so is through emotional competence training. Methods: A one-hour workshop to provide an introductory training on emotional competence was offered to 717 Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) students and 30 Master of Science in Behavioral Health (MSBH) students. A needs assessment survey was conducted to determine how the workshop should be structured. After piloting two workshops, an evaluation survey was conducted to determine the workshops’ effectiveness and ways to improve. Results: Based on survey responses from 181 BSN and 12 MSBH students, participants overwhelmingly cited the need and desire for emotional competence training. Despite low workshop attendance, the workshop was considered helpful, valuable, and interesting by both BSN and MSBH participants. Conclusion: Overall, emotional competence training appears to be desired and needed among nursing and health professions students. Additional research is needed on integrating emotional competence training into nursing and health professions schools and the most effective methods for increasing student participation in the trainings
