Thesis: In-hospital resuscitation: Graduate nurses’ lived experience in the non-critical care environment – a hermeneutic phenomenological approach

In resuscitation teachings to newly Registered Nurses, we place an emphasis on process of Airway, Breathing and Circulation - in reality this is not their role. In a resuscitation, the newly Registered Nurse will be scribing, drawing-up medications and scouting for equipment. As such, the in-hospital training of such cohorts needs to be addressed to meet the realities of the newly Registered Nurses role. This example is one of a number of findings related to my thesis, which was completed in partial fulfilment for the award: Master of Critical Care Nursing.
