Nurses' labor supply: participation, hours of work, and discontinuities in the supply function

Article Abstract:

Nurses' labor supply is affected by market participation, wage rates, alternative employment opportunities and demand for health services. British nurses data in 1980 indicate that fewer qualified nurses would join the nursing profession because of unsatisfied job expectations. While higher wages would induce short term participation among more qualified nurses, other lucrative employment opportunities would affect the supply of nurses. Increasing older population, which would increase demand for health services, would further aggravate the declining supply of nurses.

The perception and judgment of senior baccalaureate student nurses in clinical decision making

Article Abstract:

Student nurses' ability to make clinical decisions can be improved by using a holistic approach integrating perception with judgment. Students in a study showed their self-concept was a key to decision-making. Nursing educators need to prepare students to meet decision-making challenges, especially since no two persons will view a situation in precisely the same way. Nurses who have intrapersonal knowledge of their patients will probably tend to make reliable decisions about patient care.

Perception of threat and subjective well-being in low-risk and high-risk pregnant women

Article Abstract:

Stress intervention for women who have been informed of their high-risk pregnancy status could alleviate stress and negative emotions that accompany such information. Stress reducing strategies should focus on the second trimester, and incorporate both personal support and technologic assistance. These strategies can reduce the women's perception of threat, improving their well-being.
