Career interests of undergraduate nursing students: A ten-year longitudinal study.

An understanding of students' career interests at entry and exit from undergraduate nursing programmes could inform decisions regarding curricula and clinical placements. Since 2006, the University of Auckland has surveyed healthcare students at entry to and exit from their respective programmes, collecting information on a range of demographic, and career-related factors. This article describes career interests of over 500 undergraduate nursing students in New Zealand over a ten-year period.

When resuscitation doesn't work: A qualitative study examining ambulance personnel preparation and support for termination of resuscitation and patient death.

Background: Many ambulance personnel can withhold or terminate resuscitation on-scene, but these decisions are emotionally, ethically and cognitively challenging. Although there is a wealth of research examining training and performance of life-saving resuscitation efforts, there is little published research examining how ambulance personnel are prepared and supported for situations where resuscitation is unsuccessful, unwanted or unwarranted.

Aim: To identify and describe existing preparation and support mechanisms for ambulance personnel enacting decisions to terminate resuscitation and manage patient death in the field.

Unlocking intuition and expertise: using interpretative phenomenological analysis to explore clinical decision making.

Background: Clinical decision making is a complex, but important, research area. Decision-making theories have evolved to recognise that, although heuristics and biases can lead to error, expert clinician decision makers can also use intuition to good effect. More research is needed to understand how nurses and other clinicians make sense of complexity and uncertainty.
