Background: Prelicensure nursing programs often hire clinical experts who are novice educators to teach integration of nursing clinical judgment within the context of patient care experiences.
Purpose: To describe practices of schools of nursing to onboard, orient, and mentor newly hired faculty.
Methods: Faculty (n = 174) and leaders (n = 51) replied to an online survey.
Background: The COVID-19 pandemic highlighted nurses' compassionate presence during stressful conditions. Strategies to reduce workplace stress are needed.
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate a stress reduction strategy, an Internet-based Mantram Repetition Program (MRP), for nurses caring for hospitalized Veterans.
Background: Restrictions on students' use of electronic health information have been anecdotally reported as a threat to clinical learning, development of informatics competency, and adherence to personal health information privacy laws. However, evidence on which informatics education and policy strategies can be designed is lacking.
Purpose: This study describes the scope of nursing students' access to and use of electronic health information systems as reported by clinical instructors.
Background: Nursing presence has been developed as a distinct concept with identifiable behaviors but remains only partially defined as a quantifiable construct.
Objectives: This study asked if the Presence of Nursing Scale (PONS) is a reliable and valid instrument to measure nursing presence from the patient's perspective.
Methods: A convenience sample of 75 adult acute care inpatients were verbally administered the 25-item PONS considering the registered nurse taking care of them on the day of data collection.
Objective: This quantitative study examined patients' trust of a nurse who represents the Muslim faith by wearing the hijab.
Background: Presumptions about nurse trustworthiness based on religious affiliation may impede the effectiveness of the nurse-patient relationship and diminish the ability of nursing care to promote patient's feelings of well-being.
Methods: Hospitalized participants were randomly given a picture of a nurse either wearing the hijab or not.
