2.The nurse’s social media advantage: How making connections and sharing ideas can enhance your nursing practice
Robert Fraser
Honor Society of Nursing, 2011
Social media has reached into every profession - and nursing is no exception. Almost daily, new research and publishing methods emerge. This fast-paced, ever-changing way of disseminating information will continue to evolve, whether nurses participate or not. With the vital role that nursing plays in the health care community, nurses cannot afford to fall behind
3. Euthanasia, ethics and public policy: An argument against legislation
John Keown
Cambridge University Press, 2002
Whether the law should permit voluntary euthanasia or physician-assisted suicide is a notoriously difficult question. How cogent is the "slippery slope" objection? In other words, is it reasonable to object on the grounds that patients would be killed who did not make a free and informed request, or for whom palliative care would have offered an alternative

6. The health and development correlates of screen media exposure in children 0-5yrs: An integrative literature review
Reus, Ellyse J; Mosley, Ian T
Australian Journal of Child and Family Health Nursing (2018, Dec) 15(2)
Abstract: The early years of childhood are a critical period for neural development. It is well known that screen media exposure has the potential to impact the health and development trajectories of young children. The aim of this integrative review was to explore the health and developmental correlates of screen media exposure in young children aged from birth to five years.
7. Journeying to connect: Promoting post-natal healing and relationship formation through the CONNECT group art-therapy program for distressed mothers and infants
Xeros-Constantinides, Sophia; Boland, Bernice & Bishop, Lynne
Australian Journal of Child and Family Health Nursing (2017, Dec), 14(2)
Abstract: This paper describes the CONNECT Group Art-Therapy Program, a post-natal group therapy intervention for distressed mothers and infants/toddlers. The paper reflects on pregnancy and birth as life-changing events for women-mothers, made vulnerable through gestation, parturition and the demands of relating to, and caring for, the new baby.
8. Oral health promotion in children - the use of fluoride
Australian Journal of Child and Family Health Nursing (2017, Dec). 14(2)
Abstract: Good dental health practices that begin in childhood are a crucial contributor to good overall health as the child ages and becomes an adult. Thereby, the maternal and child health nurse (MCHN), along with oral health promotion strategies, plays a large role in promoting these health practices for children under the age of five years

9. Making and maintaining racialised ignorance in Australian nursing workplaces: The case of black African migrant nurses
Mapedzahama, Virginia; Rudge, Trudy; West, Sandra; Kwansah-Aidoo, Kwamena
Australasian Review of African Studies, Dec 2018. 39(2), 48-73
Abstract: In this article we apply a sociological framework of ignorance to explore the experiences of black African migrant nurses working in the Australian healthcare system. We contend that explorations of how ignorance is constructed, maintained and utilised within workplaces are critical for a nuanced understanding of black African skilled migrants' subjective experiences of institutional racism.
10. Exploring the experiences of internationally and locally qualified nurses working in a culturally diverse environment
O'Callaghan, Cathy; Loukas, Patty; Brady, Michelle; Perry, Astrid
Australian Journal of Advanced Nursing, Dec 2018 - Feb 2019. 36(2), 23-34

11. "Some of us pushed forward and let the world see what could be done": Aboriginal Australian nurses and midwives, 1900-2005
Best, Odette & Gorman, Don
Labour History, No. 111, Nov 2016: 149-164
Abstract: This paper locates the voices of Aboriginal nurses and midwives which only emerged in publications from the 1950s onwards. It seeks to privilege the voices of Aboriginal nurses and midwives, and recognise their contributions to the nursing and midwifery professions. It identifies two key developments in Australian history that influenced the acceptance of Aboriginal people into a career in nursing and midwifery: the gradual decline of policies of protection, segregation and assimilation, and the shift of nursing education from hospitals into the tertiary sector.
12. A multi-cultural nursing workforce: Views of New Zealand and internationally qualified nurses
Walker, Leonie; Clendon, Jill; Johnson-Bogaerts, Hilda
Kai Tiaki Nursing Research, Sep 2012. 3(1), 4-11
Abstract: The New Zealand Nurses Organisation (NZNO) conducted an overarching project in 2012, surveying members who had joined the organisation within the previous five years, to examine their experiences in the workplace and views on a range of topics of interest to NZNO. This paper reports a subset of that data: the experiences and views of both New Zealand qualified nurse (NZQN) and internationally qualified nurse (IQN) newer members of NZNO, focusing specifically on the increasingly multicultural nature of the health workforce.
