During the fall of 2006, almost 3.5 million students were taking at least one online course. Eighty-three percent of institutions with online offerings anticipate their online enrollment will continue to increase over the next year. Currently, online nursing programs exist for undergraduate, RN-BSN, refresher courses, graduate, and doctoral programs. Active learning strategies such as group learning are increasingly being utilized in nursing education. This research is a phenomenological qualitative study describing nursing students' experiences of group projects in the online learning environment. The data were collected by unstructured telephone interviews. Themes were extracted from the analyzed interviews. This study may assist in the development and facilitation of online group projects in the future.

Nursing education is in the midst of change as it relates to current clinical education approaches. In the United States, numerous nursing boards have restructured their clinical guidelines for licensure to include high-fidelity patient simulation as an acceptable form of clinical education. In response to these educational changes, a thorough review of the literature was performed and revealed a gap related to student outcomes when combining traditional clinical education and high-fidelity patient simulation during clinical courses. The purpose of this qualitative study was to provide a richer understanding of how a student's clinical education impacts his or her educational experiences. Through a phenomenological approach, I examined the lived experiences of 12 nursing students who had completed a medical-surgical clinical course. Data was analyzed utilizing Moustakas' (1994) seven steps of data analysis and revealed six themes to include (a) collaboration/team approach, (b) confidence, (c) influence of the instructor, (d) observation, (e) realism, and (f) reflection. Results of this phenomenological study are timely as states across the nation are considering substantial changes to their clinical education guidelines and policies.

The purpose of this study was to examine the perceptions and lived experiences of nursing students' interpersonal communication with clients and nurses upon completion of nursing practice rotations of undergraduate nursing education. The study identified the extent to which nursing student participants were aware of the roles, relationships, and statuses in the context of nursing practice rotations, and how this awareness shaped their interpersonal communication with clients and nurses. Ecological Systems Theory and Critical Systems Theory were used as complementary theoretical frameworks to explore the system of layers of roles and relationships and to employ a critical lens. Hermeneutic phenomenological research methodology, specifically the approach of Max van Manen (1990) was used to gain the essence of the 12 participants' lived experiences of interpersonal communication with nurses and clients on nursing practice rotations: feelings of overwhelm, unpreparedness, and powerlessness in their roles, relationships, and status in communicating with nurses and clients. The principle themes of Holding on to the Traditional Student Role (role stagnation), Learning to Become a Professional Nurse within a Community of Nurses (role transformation), and Experiencing Disempowerment as Learners (role oppression) within the ecosystem were deconstructed to make recommendations for nursing education.

Uncovers the art and science of nursing grounded in caring for all nursing situations Grounded in the belief that caring is the central domain of nursing, this innovative book presents a new approach to "nursing situations." These are case studies depicting shared lived experiences between the nurse and patient that are studied from various theoretical perspectives. They are designed to foster a nursing student's ability to care effectively for a patient, family, or group. Each case study features a compelling scenario that engages the reader to feel and fully participate in the caring experience. The book presents a variety of situations that new and experienced nurses are likely to encounter, many of which present scenarios that require caring for a patient under difficult or complex circumstances. The book addresses the need, as defined by leading health care and nursing education organizations, for the study of nursing from a contextual, story-oriented perspective. It is based on the Barry, Gordon & King Teaching/Learning Nursing Framework, developed as a guide to uncover the art and science of nursing grounded in caring in all nursing situations. Following a description of the framework's foundational concepts, the text describes how to use nursing situations to facilitate learning. The scenarios offer detailed, practical strategies for analyzing nursing situations in ways that bring to life the simple and complex practice of nursing grounded in caring. These real-life stories also help students understand the impact of health conditions on individuals and families, thereby fostering empathy. Case studies address nursing situations across a variety of populations, health concerns, and practice settings. Using multiple ways of knowing and understanding, each scenario concludes with direct and reflective questions that help students develop nursing knowledge and skills. The book serves as a core resource for nurse educators and students at all levels seeking to study the art and science of nursing grounded in caring. Additionally, the book is a resource for in-service educators in health care systems that specifically address caring as an essential value for practice. KEY FEATURES: Delivers a new approach to nursing education focusing on the context of caring between nurse and patient Presents a collection of real-life nursing scenarios designed to foster caring knowledge and skills under all circumstances Offers detailed, practical strategies for analyzing nursing situations to aid in learning the practice of nursing grounded in caring Helps students to understand the impact of health conditions on individuals and families

Patient-centered, high-quality health care relies on the well-being, health, and safety of health care clinicians. However, alarmingly high rates of clinician burnout in the United States are detrimental to the quality of care being provided, harmful to individuals in the workforce, and costly. It is important to take a systemic approach to address burnout that focuses on the structure, organization, and culture of health care. Taking Action Against Clinician Burnout: A Systems Approach to Professional Well-Being builds upon two groundbreaking reports from the past twenty years, To Err Is Human: Building a Safer Health System and Crossing the Quality Chasm: A New Health System for the 21st Century, which both called attention to the issues around patient safety and quality of care. This report explores the extent, consequences, and contributing factors of clinician burnout and provides a framework for a systems approach to clinician burnout and professional well-being, a research agenda to advance clinician well-being, and recommendations for the field.
