Earning and learning: recruitment and retention in post registration nurse education

Nurse Education Today

Abstract

The [Dearing, R., 1997. The Report of the National Committee of Inquiry into Higher Education. London, DFEE.] and the [Department of Health, 1998. A First Class Service: Quality in the New NHS. London, DOH.] have recommended widening access to Higher Education in the United Kingdom. Attention has recently focused on qualified nurse education. This has evolved as a result of the Government drive to expand the role of the nurse as a consequence of the shortage of doctors and the ambitious proposals set out in the NHS Plan [Department of Health, 2000. The NHS Plan: A Plan for Investment, A Plan for Reform. London, DOH.]. Subsequently whilst they are learning, many qualified nurses need to work in a demanding environment in addition to caring for their families. These combined activities often result in difficulty in sustaining their required learning experiences. This study explores how the positive aspects of University based learning may be combined with more flexible means of learning to improve recruitment and retention. A flexible modular programme may provide a solution to the problem of combining earning with learning. However, an effective staff and student support infrastructure must be established to ensure that flexible...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
