Do we fail those who fail?

Article Abstract:

There appear to be very few support mechanisms for nursing students in the UK who fail in their studies. Indeed, students who fail can often feel frustration and anger, being both isolated from and jealous of their colleagues. Nursing students are under great pressure to succeed in both their academic studies and their practical work, and this can cause unbearable stress. Institutions which train nurses often do not pay any attention to those who have voluntarily left or been removed from training courses.

Raising the spirits

Article Abstract:

Nurses in the UK still receive very little training in the spiritual aspects of patient care, even though there is a general move towards treating patients more holistically. Spirituality is a very personal issue, and nurses therefore hesitate to discuss it openly with patients. There are still many misconceptions about spirituality, especially in seeing it as synonymous with religion and a belief in God. It is important to look at spirituality in a much broader sense.
