“…It is widely acknowledged that pre-registration nursing students commence their baccalaureate studies with pre-conceived ideas of the clinical area in which they wish to work (Baglin & Rugg, 2010;Happell, 1999;McKenna et al, 2010). However, future career choices may be influenced by positive placement experiences which meet the expectations of pre-registration nursing students (Andrews, Brodie, Andrews, Wong, & Thomas, 2005). Given projected nursing shortages across all health care sectors, high quality clinical placements are increasingly recognized as an important recruitment strategy to source prospective employees (Lamont, Brunero, & Woods, 2014).…”

(2015). Nursing students' experiences of clinical placement in community settings: a qualitative study. Collegian: The Australian Journal of Nursing Practice, Scholarship and Research, 22 (2),[175][176][177][178][179][180][181] Nursing students' experiences of clinical placement in community settings: a qualitative study AbstractBackground Changing community demographics and the rising incidence of chronic and complex conditions has exacerbated the primary care workload. Encouraging beginning nurses to view primary care nursing as a viable career option will help alleviate the workforce stress of this specialty. Whilst higher education institutions (HEI's) have increased the exposure of pre-registration nurses to community settings, there has been limited exploration of this experience from the perspective of pre-registration nurses. As potential key service providers, it is important to identify factors which influence how pre-registration nurses view primary care placements in the community. Aim This study seeks to explore the experiences of preregistration nursing students following community based clinical placements and to explore the impact of this placement on their learning. Design A qualitative design was employed in this study. Participants Nine preregistration nursing students were recruited from a research intensive single campus of an Australian university. Methods In-depth semi-structured interviews. Findings Findings are presented in the following four themes: (1) autonomy in practice: "you make your own decisions", (2) working with highly skilled nurses: "their knowledge was just incredible", (3) focusing on holistic care: "they'd obviously built rapport with these people", and (4) showing genuine interest in educating students: "they got me involved". Conclusion Exposure to community settings was a positive learning experience for pre-registration nursing students. Further research needs to focus on the impact of these placements on both clinical skills acquisition and job choices into the future.

“…On the supply side, the literature looks at easing the transition from student nurse to newly qualified nurse through close co-operation between universities and local health providers (e.g. Andrews et al 2005, Gould 2006). Dray et al (2011) have shown that where the supply of newly qualified nurses exceeds demand, employability events were valued by newly qualified nurses who saw the events as having contributed to them securing employment.…”

“…At the micro‐scale, geographical research might also focus on how perceptions of Sesame as a place are constructed to make the hospital an attractive (or unattractive) place for nurses to work. These experiences and perceptions of place might be gained from the media, during clinical placements as students, or through periods of previous employment (see Brodie et al 2004, 2005; Andrews, Brodie, et al 2005, in press; Andrews, Holmes, et al in press). By effectively “unpacking” the experiences and perception of place, this research might be able to identify a range of factors that contribute to perceptions of workplaces and that might be addressed to improve such perceptions.…”

“…By effectively “unpacking” the experiences and perception of place, this research might be able to identify a range of factors that contribute to perceptions of workplaces and that might be addressed to improve such perceptions. Previous research has indicated that these might be wide‐ranging and include institutional culture and subinstitutional ward cultures, management style and decisions, workload, and educational and career opportunities (Brodie et al 2004, 2005; Andrews, Brodie, et al 2005, in press; Andrews, Holmes, et al in press).…”

This, the second and final article in the short health geography series, articulates how, moving beyond the models and assumptions associated with the metaparadigm of Nursing Environment, as a focused subdisciplinary approach, health geography might provide unique insights into nursing. A case study of a fictional yet somewhat typical children's hospital is presented and demonstrates some wide-ranging geographical issues and research questions (and hence potential geographical data) pertaining to nursing and the allied health professions. Indeed, this broad-brush approach is purposeful to make as many connections as possible to readers with varied theoretical, methodological, empirical, and practice expertise. In addition to the case study, to indicate further how geographical inquiry might locate quite comfortably in nursing research, the article also makes some initial and tentative connections between geography and an established nursing framework for the uptake of research evidence for practice. Although it is acknowledged that geographical inquiry should certainly never have the first call on researching the relationships between nurses and their environments, it is argued that its conceptual focus on space and place provides dedicated and detailed attention and a sound basis for a reformed, "spatialized" route to a more comprehensive understanding. Moreover, it is argued that it also demonstrates great versatility in terms of the scales and the subject matter with which it might engage. Some important issues certainly remain with respect to what might be the correct form of engagement between geographical and nursing research, but arguably, as a reformed disciplinary approach, health geography has the potential to provide a wealth of focused evidence for nursing practice.
