TL;DR: This article investigated student nurses' experiences of supervision while administering medications and found that 88% of students agreed that they had been directly supervised during the entirety of administration procedures, while only 7% reported not receiving supervision throughout medication administration, higher percentages of students indicated that they received lower levels of supervision when wards were busy, when they felt under pressure to comply with the wishes of RNs, and when the RNs trusted the student nurses.

TL;DR: An observation schedule developed from evidence-based quality indicators proved to be an effective strategy to identify areas of strength and those needing further development to improve simulation sessions.

TL;DR: Use of the tool as a quality assurance measure is likely to improve education and practice in clinical environments and further international evaluation of the instrument is required to fully determine its psychometric properties.

TL;DR: Evidence is provided for the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of a nurse led, early intervention program in preventing unnecessary hospital admissions within a residential aged care facility and for the program to be both more effective and less costly than usual care.
