Aims And Objectives: To explore how team processes support nursing teams in hospital units during every day work.
Background: Due to their close proximity to patients, nurses are central to the process of maintaining patient safety. Globally, changes in models of care delivery by nurses, inclusive of team nursing are being considered.
Aims And Objectives: To explore clinical nurses' experiences of using emotional intelligence capabilities during clinical reasoning and decision-making.
Background: There has been little research exploring whether, or how, nurses employ emotional intelligence (EI) in clinical reasoning and decision-making.
Design: Qualitative phase of a larger mixed-methods study.
Background: Nursing students often perform poorly on numeracy tests. Whilst one-off interventions have been trialled with limited success, a whole-of-curriculum approach may provide a better means of improving applied numeracy skills.
Objective: The objective of the study is to assess the efficacy of a whole-of-curriculum approach in improving nursing students' applied numeracy skills.
Background: Nurses are central to the aim of ensuring medication safety, through being predominantly responsible for the administration of medications to patients in acute care settings.

The limited available research however, suggests that both qualified and student nurses have difficulty in identifying prescribing errors with high accuracy.
