Clinical trial of the Norton Scale in acute care settings.
This study investigated the effect of using Norton Scale assessment data in the nursing care of patients at risk of developing pressure ulcers. The results indicated that incorporating the Norton Scale in care planning resulted in benefits to patients through earlier and more effective nursing interventions.

Reliability of assessments by skilled observers using the Glasgow Coma Scale.
The management of patients at risk of neurological deterioration is often centred around serial assessments made by nursing and medical clinicians using the Glasgow Coma Scale. Although accepted throughout the world as a reliable and consistent tool for such assessments, little work has been done to validate the original claims of reliability. In this study a very high degree of inter-rater reliability was demonstrated between registered nurses (RNs) who were educated and experienced in use of the scale. Implications for clinical practice are discussed.

A clinical learning milieu: nurse clinicians' attitudes to tertiary education and teaching.
A target population of 742 registered nurses (RNs) who had direct contact or potential for direct contact with college nursing students were surveyed regarding their attitudes to the transfer of undergraduate nurse education to the tertiary sector, and to helping teach/supervise students. The RNs were located at 19 of 21 hospitals providing clinical experience for students of one college during semester one in 1989; 490 (66%) returned completed questionnaires. These bedside nurse clinicians were clearly divided on whether the transfer would ultimately benefit the nursing profession. Despite this, nearly all preferred to work in a hospital providing clinical experience for college students; they saw teaching as an essential part of the RN's role and gained satisfaction from it.
