1. Power to win: The living wage movement in Aotearoa New Zealand
Lyndy McIntyre [Autographed by the author]
Published 2024
This is the story of the movement’s efforts to lift the wages of the most disadvantaged people in our workforce – women, Māori, Pacific Peoples, migrants and refugees, and young workers. McIntyre provides a window into the lives of these workers and those committed to ending in-work poverty: the activists, faith groups, unions and community organisations who come together to tilt the axis of power from employers to low-wage workers.
2.Challenges in professional supervision: Current themes and models for practice
Liz Beddoe & Allyson Davys
Published in 2016
This book is divided into two sections: The first describes the contemporary themes in professional supervision and the second discusses the models and skills being employed to deliver it. Issues such as supervising ethically, supporting practitioner wellbeing and manging the process are all explored. There are also chapters on group and interprofessional supervision, supervision of managers and how to have difficult conversations.
3. Decolonizing methodologies: Research and indigenous peoples
Linda Tuhiwai Smith
3rd edition, 2021
This revised and expanded new edition demonstrates the continued importance of Tuhiwai Smith’s work, including the growing movement to decolonize education and the university curriculum. It also features contributions from both new and established indigenous scholars on what a decolonizing approach means for both the present and future of academic research, and provides practical examples of how decolonial and indigenous methodologies have been fruitfully applied to recent research projects.
4. Human: Solving the global workforce crisis in healthcare
Mark Britnell
Published in 2019
The central argument of this book is that over the next decade we are heading towards a global workforce shortage in healthcare that will harm patients, citizens, and societies. He looks at specific countries such as Japan, Brazil, and the Netherlands to illustrate how health systems can improve worldwide if we learn from each other. He argues for gender equality for healthcare workers, increased support for them, and more sophisticated thinking on the relationship between humans and technology.
5. Managing mixed financing of privately owned providers in the public interest
Smith, J., Mays, N., Ovenden., Cumming, J., McDonald, J. & Boson, J.
Institute of Policy Studies, 2010
This book compares the financing of general practice (primary health care), long-term care of older people, legal aid, and early childhood education in New Zealand, Australia, and England. Each service is characterised by a different mix of public and private finance. The authors identify the criteria deemed important when assessing whether a particular mix of public and private finance produces a service that meets public goals.
6. Nursing theorists and their work
Martha Raile Alligood
10th edition, 2022
Find the thinking of 39 leading nursing theorists in one comprehensive text. Each chapter presents a key nursing theory or philosophy, showing how systematic theoretical evidence can enhance decision making, professionalism, and quality of care.

Fatigue is commonly reported in shiftworking emergency department nurses. Fatigue can be both acute and chronic, with both types impacting organisational outcomes. However, chronic fatigue is reported to have a greater impact on nurses’ health and wellbeing.

Jane Gifkins., Amy Johnston., Rebecca Loudoun & Ashlea Troth
International Journal of Nursing Studies. (2020). Vol. 112, Article 103710.
Objectives: To identify factors impeding or enhancing recovery from fatigue in shiftworking nurses.
Design: Scoping literature review methodology was implemented to identify key concepts around recovery from fatigue in shiftworking nurses to provide a narrative around these paradigms
9. Chronic fatigue and recovery among nurses working two-shift and three-shift rotations
Shinya Yamaguchi., Peter C. Winwood & Rika Yano
Collegian. (2023). 30(6), 786-794.
Shift patterns influence nurses’ work and rest conditions. This study explored the association between fatigue and recovery and factors associated with recovery and chronic fatigue among nurses working a three-shift (8 hour shifts) or two-shift (more than 12 hour shifts) rotations in Japan.
10. Exploring Sleep and Fatigue of Clinical Nurses and Administrative Supervisors
Susan H. Weaver., Kimberly Dimino., Kathryn Fleming., Joan Harvey., Maria Manzella., Paula O’Neill., Mani Paliwal., Maryjo Phillips. & Theresa A. Wurmser
Nurse Leader. (2024). 22(2), 203-210.
This study investigated the difference in fatigue and sleep quality between day and night shift clinical nurses and administrative supervisors. Significant differences were found between day and night shift clinical nurses in quality and patterns of sleep, perceptions of the severity and effects of fatigue, and work-related fatigue, but not with administrative supervisors. Furthermore, more night shift nurses and supervisors recalled a fatigue-related error, falling asleep at a red light, missing their exit, and having a car accident when driving home compared to those working day shift.

ABC News – 19 November 2024
New research suggests the gap, while still wide, is narrowing at a much more rapid pace than it was previously. Legislation that has boosted workers' rights, including more flexible work, an end to pay secrecy clauses, an expansion of workplace bargaining and the publication of gender pay gaps, is among the reasons why.
