People seeking fertility treatment are exposed to numerous stressors and many professionals are involved in their care. This literature review focuses on the role of nurses and midwives in the promotion of patient's well-being. Key themes identified are the need for continuity of care and support at all stages of treatment, but particularly prior to pregnancy testing, during the ante-natal period and following unsuccessful treatment. Women who conceive through fertility treatment are often anxious about the risk of potential miscarriage. It is not unreasonable that nurses and midwives receive training in acquiring skills in the provision of such support to patients which, arguably, is consistent with the general requirement that their skills and knowledge are updated to ensure safe and effective practice, but this would have resource implications. The wider question of who should provide well-being and emotional support for patients is an area of reproductive medicine which requires further research.

“…Experience does not confer expertise (Ericsson, Whyte, & Ward, 2007). Another study, suggests that experience confers expertise (Bobay, Gentile, and Hagle, 2009). Fewer medication errors and lower patient fall rates were observed in a large proportion of nurses with ≥5 years of experience (Blegen, Vaughn, & Goode, 2001).…”

Aim: To examine the knowledge, attitudes and awareness of food and drug interactions (FDI) among nurses with different levels of experience in their day to day practices. Background: The 2004 Institute of Medicine report (IOM), "Keeping Patients Safe," recognized the nursing profession as playing a critical role in patient safety (Dunton, 2007;McHugh & Lake, 2010). Although new nurses possess a strong theoretical knowledge of nursing, experience from practice is important in providing a safer level of practice (Hill, 2010).The retention of experienced nurses in practice, would require a continuous, career-long learning (Hill, 2010).Medical errors resulting in Adverse Drug Reactions (ADRs), pose a significant public health problem. Studies on the knowledge, attitudes and awareness of FDI among nurses with different levels of experience are lacking. Methods: This was a cross sectional study which included a structured questionnaire. The study included a convenience sample of 278 nurses divided into 5 groups with different levels of experience: 0-4 years (66); 5-9 years (75); 10-14 years (45); 15-19 years (41); and ≥20 years. Results: There was statistical difference in knowledge and attitude to FDI among the 5 groups. 72.3 % of nurses had not observed food and drug interaction during their practice. Conclusion: The five groups all scored low in their knowledge of FDI. Most of the participants recommended in-house training on FDI every six (6) months.There is a significant difference in the knowledge of FDI among the five groups with different levels of nursing experience.

“…Another study examined nurses' clinical expertise and professional characteristics and found that clinical nurses develop expertise as a result of experience. Frequent exposure to similar types of patients leads to outcomes that are familiar to the caregiver (Bobay, Gentile, & Hagle, 2009). This research would suggest that older and more experienced clinical ladder nurses would show greater leadership behaviors, although the literature on burnout could argue that older and experienced nurses who do not advance in organizations might demonstrate fewer leadership behaviors and decreased feelings of personal accomplishments (Kovacs, Kovacs, & Hegedus, 2010;Robinson et al, 1991).…”

Background: A recommendation in the Institute of Medicine’s report, The Future of Nursing: Leading Change, Advancing Health , challenges the nursing profession to enhance nursing’s leadership role in health care redesign. Method: This descriptive, correlational, cross-sectional study examined the self-perceived leadership behaviors of RNs enrolled in a clinical ladder career pathway. A self-report survey was conducted using the Leadership Practice Inventory and a demographic questionnaire. Results: Significant associations between continuous and categorical demographic factors and ladder levels were reported. Nurses with more experience showed fewer leadership behaviors. Conclusion: Leadership development is necessary for nurses in all areas of practice. The findings from this study provide evidence of the strengths and weaknesses in leadership behaviors of staff clinical RNs who often make frontline decisions for patients.
