Faculty in a baccalaureate nursing (BSN) program recognized that fundamentals students often expressed a lack of confidence regarding translating knowledge and skills from long-term care environments into acute medical-surgical environments. This study used Benner's novice to expert framework as the basis for designing and implementing a peer-coached student led simulation with the aim of easing student transition from novice to advanced beginner. A mixed-methods descriptive design was used to gather and analyze qualitative data from peer-coach and learner focus groups. Quantitative data via a self-developed questionnaire was obtained from learners before and after the simulation experience. Results of quantitative data indicated significantly improved confidence levels among learners post simulation. Themes from qualitative data revealed that learners possessed improved levels of confidence and feelings of preparedness. These results suggest that peer coaching through student-led simulations is one possible way to support students in transitioning from beginning to higher-level clinical experiences.

Graduate nurses are now comprehensively prepared in Australia and have limited mental health knowledge and experiences to work in acute mental health settings. As such, graduate nurses would need the support that they can get from their respective mental health services to progress from novice to advanced beginner. Nursing education is an important support for graduate nurses to develop the knowledge and skills required for them to transition successfully into acute mental health settings.

Thoracic ultrasonography (TUS) has emerged as a critical tool in the diagnosis and management of respiratory diseases in cattle, particularly bovine respiratory disease (BRD), which is one of the most economically significant health issues in feedyard operations. The objective of this review is to explore TUS in veterinary medicine, including the historical development, methodologies, and clinical applications for diagnosing and prognosing respiratory diseases. This review also emphasizes the importance of operator training, noting that even novice operators can achieve diagnostic consistency with proper instructions.

Background: Specialist palliative care teams (SPCTs) have significant benefits for patients with advanced disease or frailty, including improved quality of life, greater satisfaction with care, and less potentially inappropriate care at the end of life. Experienced SPCTs are recognised to have higher referral rates compared to novice teams. The aim of this study was to assess the development of hospital-wide integration of specialist palliative care (PC) and of SPCTs in Dutch hospitals between 2014 and 2020.

Human point-light displays consist of luminous dots representing human articulations, thus depicting actions without pictorial information. These stimuli are widely used in action recognition experiments. Because humans excel in decoding human motion, point-light displays (PLDs) are often masked with additional moving dots (noise masks), thereby challenging stimulus recognition.
