What is your big reason you became a nurse? Virginia Avenel Henderson (1897–1996) Henderson would become known as the “First Lady of Nursing” for her development of a theory of nursing that became fundamental to nursing education. As she stated, “The unique function of the nurse is to assist the individual, sick or well, in the performance of those activities contributing to health or its recovery (or to peaceful death) that he would perform unaided if he had the necessary strength, will or knowledge. And to do this in such a way as to help him gain independence as rapidly as possible.” She undertook the revision of a nursing text—Textbook of the Principles and Practices of Nursing—and the resulting work became a core text in hospital nursing schools across America. In addition, she oversaw the compilation of a four-volume reference guide to nursing research papers published between 1900 and 1960, called the Nursing Studies Index. For her pioneering work as a nurse educator, public health nurse, researcher and theorist, Henderson was inducted into the American Nurses Association Hall of Fame and awarded the Christiane Reimann Prize by the International Council of Nurses. As you read this, consider how your nursing career can influence all the people you interact with, whether they are fellow students, other nurses, your patients, or your community. What would you like to teach to patients or your colleagues? Source: Baylor University #education #nurses #healthcare #patientcare #AntonettaElizabeth

I am a University of Iowa BSN. The last quote in the article needs to be read and repeated, by all #nursingleadership. Myrtle Aydelotte (1972), founding Dean and Professor at the University of Iowa College of Nursing, shared: "What is needed is a reexamination of nursing leadership and a new thrust forward. Nursing leadership must reorient itself and restructure itself in such a way that nursing education and practice are inseparable, are symbolic, and are united in purpose" (1972, p.23). Academic-Practice partnerships need to go beyond just clinical experience opportunities, and instead focus on preparing the next generation of nurses #together. This is a defining moment, not just in nursing education, but in #highereducation. Perhaps we need to change the model of where nursing curriculum is housed. The regulations of higher education can be confining for nursing programs. Perhaps we need to examine our purpose with practice and forge a new path.

Should Nursing Skills be Learned on the Job or in Nursing School? My question “Should Nursing Skills Be Learned on the Job?” As a Health Equity Education Coach, I help academic nurse leaders bypass the trial & error of common mistakes in teaching equity, diversity and inclusion so that students are prepared for the rigor of practice. Thanks for joining this conversation today. It is the season of the Nurse! We celebrate nurses for all of the amazing ways we enrich healthcare. Lets celebrate from the nursing student all the way up to the Chief Nurse Officers. All of our work counts and matters. This month I want to focus in on nursing students. I don’t know if we give them enough attention, but from what I am seeing, we can do better. Recently, nursing students have shared with me that feel that they upon leave nursing school they are not getting as much skills training as they need. Do you think we should focus more on teaching skills in nursing school or on the job? Share your thoughts! https://lnkd.in/e4d9Qidn

Find out what's in Nursing Times September 2023 With the new academic year getting under way, our September edition is dedicated to supporting nurses in education and exploring the challenges the sector faces. The NHS workforce plan includes an ambitious pledge to increase the number of nursing training places by 80% by 2031-32. But the number of people in the UK applying for undergraduate nursing courses has dropped by 16% this year. We have spoken to nurse educators and employers faced with massively boosting nursing numbers at a time when interest in the profession seems to be declining. The new leaders of the Council of Deans of Health have also shared their thoughts exclusively with Nursing Times on the problems facing universities and how change is needed. Meanwhile, our clinical section looks at education from a career perspective, focusing on what it is like to transition from being a clinician to a lecturer, and explores placement opportunities in nursing homes. We also discuss the learning experiences of those who were students during the pandemic and hear from one graduate who hopes she will not be labelled as one of the ‘Covid generation’. #education #nurse #nurses #nursing #health #healthcare #students #studentnurses #studentnurse #university https://lnkd.in/evFvmiXH

Is your prelicensure nursing program struggling with first-year attrition? You’re in good company. Many faculty report that new nursing students are simply underprepared for the rigor of the first academic year. A new article on the ATI Nurse Educator Blog highlights an innovative solution to this challenge. At the University of Illinois-Chicago College of Nursing, three faculty members used a state-funded grant to develop the Prelicensure Readiness Education Program for Aspiring Registered Nurses (PREPARE). This 6-week course is designed to improve the foundational knowledge of incoming nursing students using customized support from UIC faculty and participation in Launch: Nursing Academic Readiness, an ATI program. Find out how the PREPARE approach could help your program. https://hubs.ly/Q02yFH950

On this day last year, I didn't expect to be good at what I saw a nursing officer do. We were introduced to the wards for the inception of our clinical rotations as 2nd year nursing students. It was the paediatrics ward, and we had about 9 patients in the cots and beds respectively. While introducing the ward to us, I was in awe to see the nurse identify all patients in the ward, their diagnoses, as well as the medications they were placed on. 😮 I felt it was a superhero ability that not everyone could do. Could I be a superhero, too? I was just about to be proved right when after 12 weeks of concentrated clinical postings in my 3rd year, I was able to do that, too. It was surprising how the medications and their side effects suddenly came naturally to me. Even after leaving the ward, the experiences there remained fresh. For me, it's a philosophy that what you concentrate on is what you get. This is known as a learning curve. In the beginning, everything felt like a huge challenge, like climbing a mountain. But as I kept observing, learning and practising, things started to get easier, and the mountain didn't seem so high anymore. This journey from feeling overwhelmed to gradually getting better at something is exactly what the curve is all about. It's amazing how, with time and effort, what once seemed impossible becomes part of what you can do. Not saying I've learned all I need for nursing practice, but I'm no longer where I used to be. Perhaps someday, I'd be that superhero I saw and more! Have you ever gone through a learning curve like this? How did it feel? #nurses #linkedinnurses #students #linkedinforcreators
