2017 National Nursing Student Survey Report
The 2017 National Hursing Student Survey investigated the self-care and health promotion knowledge and behaviours of nursing students. The work explored students’ knowledge of how to access help on a range of issues for themselves and their fellow students. Student health services and support were generally well rated and well understood. However there were significant concerns identified around fatigue, finances, emotional resilience and maturity, domistic violence, gender identity issues and social isolation.
NZNO 5th Biennial Employment Survey 2017 released
The New Zealand Nurses Organisation’s fifth biennial employment survey of its nurse membership reveals a steady decline of overall morale with specific concern about safe staffing levels, workload and pay. In addition there is an increasing loss of confidence in health sector leadership.
External researchers requesting support from NZNO - 2015
NZNO is now receiving a significant number of requests from external researchers, frequently Masters’ students, wanting access to NZNO members to recruit participants for their research studies. The volume of requests has now reached the point whereby NZNO jeopardises its own research programme through member survey fatigue.
