Congruency between nurses' values and job requirements: a call for integrity

Article Abstract:

Nursing-related values vary according to the nurse's experience and skills. The workplace should offer opportunities for nurses at various stages of development, expectations should match that level of development, and nurses should be able to acquire the technical, interpersonal, and managerial skills and creativity they need to advance. Values analysis can help individuals and organizations assess themselves and grow. Values-based learning provides a more holistic learning process than strictly cognitive teaching strategies.

Improved rigour demand on NVQs

Article Abstract:

National and Scottish Vocational Qualifications (N/SVQs) offer tangible benefits to employers and candidates, according to the findings of the Beaumont Review, and supported by the Institute of Personnel and Development (IPD). However organisations and individuals must improve economic performance and competitiveness, and NVQs will play a role in achieving these goals, by becoming more relevant to employers' needs.
