Exploring the Knowledge and Attitudes Towards Compliance with Medication Administration Protocol Among Nursing Students
Tags: adherence clinical education errors knowledge learning medication medication errors nursing nursing students patient practice simulation students study
This study examined how nursing students understand and carry out medication administration, focusing on their knowledge, attitudes, and compliance with safety protocols. Results showed that the students generally have strong theoretical preparation and hold positive views about patient safety. Their attitudes, particularly their sense of responsibility and awareness of risks, were more closely linked to their compliance than knowledge alone. Although overall performance was good, some areas—such as dosage calculations and handling high-risk medications—need further strengthening. The findings point to the value of combining classroom instruction with simulation, mentoring, and supportive clinical supervision to improve medication safety.

Promoting Respect and an Environment of Civility in the Classroom
Tags: behavior education emotional intelligence learning Nurse Education nursing faculty nursing students respect respectful behavior teaching
Educators today can attest to the lack of student respect shown in their classes. A lack of respect is a form of incivility. Since returning to in-person learning, respect has taken a nosedive. In fact, most of us have witnessed an increase of incivility in all walks of life. The question is, what to do about it? At a community college in upstate NY, the School of Nursing, Health & Wellness also noted a lack of respect displayed among students. The lack of respect was an issue the school felt strongly needed to be addressed. This prompted the creation of a Respect Committee with representatives from the Nursing Program, the Occupational Therapy Assistant Program and the Exercise and Human Performance Program to address the issue of student disrespect. To address the issue, the committee sent out a brief confidential survey to faculty and staff to investigate the prevalence of student disrespect, the facultys’ comfort with addressing student disrespect and established strategies for faculty to help guide them to promote a respectful environment for both teaching and learning.

Reducing Lateral Violence: A humanistic educational approach
Tags: bullying education Lateral Violence new graduate nurses reducing violence teaching violence
We’ve all witnessed it: the gossip, backbiting, and bullying that too often occurs in the nursing workplace. Lateral violence (LV), also known as horizontal violence or workplace bullying, consists of behaviors including “bullying, intimidation, sarcasm, back-stabbing, criticism, exclusion, and various forms of unequal treatment”. LV has been a topic of ongoing topic of concern in nursing for many years and is particularly prevalent in female dominated professions. LV is often attributed to oppression theory, which states that nurses are an oppressed group because they are deemed less important than others (such as medical practitioners); therefore, nurses often lack autonomy and control over their profession which results in powerlessness and displaced aggression towards other nurses.
