Nursing Leadership Influence on Male Graduate Nurses Retention Experiences Explored in the Professional Practice Environment (Research Poster Session 1, 28th International Nursing Research Conference, Dublin, July 2017)

This article aims to investigate the lived experience of the graduate registered nurses who are male with view of understanding how these newly registered nurses transition into the professional-practice environment and ultimately the nursing profession. Thus opening the discussion on schemes that may assist with future recruitment and sustainability of males entering the nursing workforce.
Nursing leadership at all levels is at the forefront of recruitment and retention of nurses. Support for newly graduated nurses in promotion of a proactive and engaging nursing profession and investment in leadership programs, especially of the minority groups such as men, cannot be underestimated.

Envisioning Magnet Designation: Raising the Bar for a Nursing Culture of EBP Awareness and Practice ((Research Poster Session 1, 28th International Nursing Research Conference, Dublin, July 2017)

A large health care system recently set a goal of increased bedside nurse EBP utilization and nurse confidence with creating a cultural of inquiry. A formal collaboration with university scientists has led to a tremendous increase in the number, quality, and rigor of nurse-led projects in the facility.

Research should be at the core of nursing: NHS Lothian is nurturing a strong culture of research among its nurses and allied health professionals (Nursing Management, 201, 24(3) p.15-15)

Critical appreciation of the evidence base is a requirement for professional practice and this
book, now in its third edition, is a well written and useful primer to the subject. The book is divided
into three parts: introducing the topic of evidence-based practice, critiquing evidence and drawing

Nurse-Led Phone Call Follow-Up Clinics Are Effective for Patients With Prostate Cancer. (Journal of Patient Experience, June 2017, Epub).

815 patients were recruited in the UK for the nurse-led stable prostate cancer telephone follow-up service. A convenience sample was selected for postal questionnaire assessment of their satisfaction. Positive results indicate that this service can be delivered in a high volume nurse-led service, with high levels of patient satisfaction, as an innovative service development.

When are night shifts effective for nursing student clinical learning? Findings from a mixed-method study design. (Nurse Education Today, 2017, vol. 52, p. 15-21)

The principal aims of the study were to describe nursing students’ perceptions and to explore conditions influencing effectiveness on learning processes during night shifts. Conclusions Night shifts remains ambiguous from the students’ perspective and their introduction in nursing education should be approached with care, considering the learning aims expected by students in their clinical placements and the education of clinical mentors education who should be capable of effectively involving students in the process of night care by avoiding non-nursing tasks.

Reframing Nursing Preceptor Development: A Comprehensive Approach to Improve Education, Standardize Processes, and Decrease Costs. (J Nurs Prof Dev, 2017, 33(3) p. 131-137)

High preceptor turnover and mandates for cost efficiency in a rapidly changing healthcare environment require innovative approaches for developing and supporting nurse preceptors. Responding to new organizational strategic and cost containment initiatives, a quality improvement project was initiated that combined several evidence-based approaches to align traditional processes and programs. The resultant preceptor development program decreased costs and standardized processes. It also showed improved learning and preceptor satisfaction and increased educational, networking, and recognition opportunities.

Nurse-led rapid-access chest pain clinics: effective, safe and here to stay. (Clin Med (Lond), 2017, Vol. 17(Suppl 3))

Aim od this research was to analyse test utilisation and revascularisation rates in a large, nurse-led, rapid-access chest pain (RACP) clinic. In addition, to assess for subsequent acute coronary syndrome (ACS) presentations in patients referred with suspected stable coronary artery disease (SCAD). Research concludes that cardiac specialist nurses are skilled at detecting patients with SCAD and can deliver a safe and effective service. Readdressing the use of non-invasive testing in lower-risk groups may be appropriate, as only a small proportion of these patients had obstructive coronary artery disease in our study.

Research on the Effectiveness of the Nurse Staffs Training Program. ((28th International Nursing Research Congress, 27-31 July 17 Dublin, Ireland)

The purpose of this study was to assess the efficacy of a modified on-board training program for new nurses with an emphasis on the mentorship program that implemented a training-for-trainers program to cultivate both skills and attitudes of clinical preceptors for the purpose of strengthening the preceptors’ teaching ability and achieving better trainees’ performance outcomes. Conclusion of the research found the new nurses in the experimental group had higher levels of satisfaction with clinical teaching than those in the control group which could possibly explained the higher retention rate in the experimental group. The level of education of the preceptors also affect new nurses’ learning outcomes. In light of ever-changing clinical environments, it is important to optimize on-board training programs for new nurses to help them mature from novices to experts.
