Extending the role of mental health nurses.

This article describes the attempts of a mental health nursing development unit to combat the problems of limited access to its services and under-use of nurses' skills. By introducing a system of referral directly to nurses and allowing nurses to practise their skills on a sessional basis within the unit, a much wider and more comprehensive service has developed.

Intervening with alopecia: exploring an entrepreneurial role for oncology nurses.

This article discusses the development of an innovative role for oncology nurses in assisting patients with their personal information and image needs that arise from alopecia secondary to the treatment of cancer. An independent oncology nursing consultative service was initiated after a survey of patients was conducted (N = 40) to assess alopecia knowledge, needs, and referral source. Nurses (N = 16) attending a local Oncology Nursing Society (ONS) chapter meeting were surveyed to assess their intervention patterns and knowledge of hair and scalp care during hair loss. To respond to needs identified through the surveys, the consultative service developed a patient education program and booklet, as well as professional education sessions. Management and evaluation of this practice continues to provide a learning experience.
