  • The Scope of Practice for Entry Level Programmes
    THE SCOPE OF PRACTICE FOR ENTRY LEVEL PROGRAMMES SCOPE OFPRACTICE FOR ENTRY LEVEL NURSES AND MIDWIVES IN KENYA July 2020. ©Nursing Council of Kenya All Rights Reserved Introduction Nursing and Midwifery are autonomous, self-regulating professions that have a distinct and central role in the multidisciplinary team in health care provision. Pursuant to the dynamic nature of health care environment, nursing and midwifery professions too need to adapt their education and practice. This Fourth Edition has taken into consideration a wide range of factors that influence roles and responsibilities of nurses and midwives. These include global, regional and national trends; technological innovations, SDGs, ICM and ICN professional frameworks, UHC goals, Kenya’s 2010 constitution, and Nurses’ amendment Act 2019. It is important to note that the Kenya 2010 Constitution has several articles that bear implications on the health sector with regard to accessibility to quality of care and on the rights of clients and /or patients. This requires the nurse/midwife to expand her/his mandate to include provision of emergency and comprehensive services, including reproductive health. Education of nurses and midwives in Kenya is offered at certificate, diploma, degree, higher diploma, masters, and PhD levels. Therefore, this scope of practice delineates roles and responsibilities of nurses and midwives at various levels of entry cognizant of legal boundaries of their practice at each level. It also emphasizes on individual accountability in making decisions about their roles and responsibilities. The first scope of practice for nurses and midwives in Kenya was developed in 1997, followed by the second edition in 2007 and the third edition in 2012.Various stakeholders were involved in the review of this scope of practice.

A Thesis Submitted to the School of Graduate Studies In Partial Fulfilment of the Requirements For the Degree Master of Social Work McMaster University © Copyright by Daisy Mwebi, August 2012 ii MSW Thesis— Daisy Mwebi McMaster—School of Social Work MASTER OF SOCIAL WORK McMaster University (2012) Hamilton, Ontario TITLE: Job Search Experiences of Female Registered Nurses from East Africa in Toronto AUTHOR: Daisy Mwebi, B.S.W., R.S.W. SUPERVISOR: Dr. Susan Watt NUMBER OF PAGES: ix, 83 ABSTRACT iii MSW Thesis— Daisy Mwebi McMaster—School of Social Work This study examined the challenges female-professional immigrants from East Africa face within the Canadian workforce. The analysis of their experiences helps us understand the employment challenges professional immigrants may face upon settlement in Canada. The main goal of the study was to explore the experiences of East African (Kenyan, Ugandan and Tanzanian) immigrant-female registered nurses in navigating the Canadian labour market. The evidence for the study was collected through interviewing five East African nurses. Although there is research that focuses on labour market experiences of women of colour, few researchers have specifically focused on African immigrant women’s connection with the Canadian labour force. The study particularly focuses on strategies nurses used to cope with the job search barriers encountered, the challenges they faced with the College of Nurses of Ontario with regard to the evaluation of their international-nursing credentials, and their job expectations before and after arriving in Canada.

P O Box 2500, Eldoret, Kenya 2Kenya Methodist University, P O Box 276, Meru, Kenya. 3School of Nursing Sciences, University of Nairobi, P O Box 30197, Nairobi, Kenya *Corresponding Author, E-Mail: [email protected] Abstract This research evaluated clinical training provided by academic institutions that offer the Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BScN) program. The purpose of the study was to describe the adequacy of clinical training and the graduates’ preparedness for nursing practice. The research was conducted between September 2008 and March 2010. The design of the research was a cross section survey using the questionnaire and focus group interview (FGI) methods to collect data. The sample comprised 232 subjects including pre-service BScN graduates and nursing supervisors. The study sites were four teaching and referral hospitals in Kenya. The research findings showed that the clinical training provided by the academic institutions was adequate. However, the quality of training varied widely among the training institutions. Based on the research findings, the study concluded that clinical training provided by the baccalaureate nursing programs in Kenya was of high quality. This study recommends that urgent attention was required by nursing educators of the BScN programmes to address identified gaps in clinical training especially in clinical instruction and supervision of students. Key Words: Nursing, clinical, training, performance Introduction professional performance of nursing graduates in Issues on clinical training and performance nursing practice.
