Nursing home employment: the nurse's aide's perspective.

1. Nurse's aides are an essential component of quality nursing home care. This study explores some of their opinions about their employment. 2. Despite the many individual demographic differences, the findings of this study indicate that nurse's aides as a group hold many similar opinions about what they like and dislike about their jobs. 3. Multiple factors affect the attitudes of nurse's aides toward their employment. 4. The findings of this study indicate that attachment to others (residents, co-workers) and a sense of personal gratification in the work itself are major themes associated with both retention and morale of nurse's aides.

Potential outcomes of clinical experience.

This exploratory study examined potential outcomes of clinical experience. Sixteen baccalaureate nursing students completed data collection instruments. The eight students in the control group completed the clinical course as prescribed in the curriculum; the eight students in the experimental group received no assigned clinical experience. The first hypothesis, that there would be an increase in the identification of accurate clinical nursing judgments as a result of clinical experience, was not supported. The second hypothesis, that there would be progress in the development of professional identity as a result of clinical experience, was not supported. Analysis of demographic and secondary data supports a conclusion that the learning outcomes of clinical experience have yet to be identified.
