A noisy environment of the class and students' interruptions were issues that impeded
understanding of course content.

The researcher innovatively evaluates the nursing curricula taking the students
perspective into considerations as students are the one to be benefited from the course and the

CONTENT:

The article was most specifically to explore the challenges for effective evaluation of
nursing education perceived by academic managers. The author has done a qualitative study
was using face-to-face, interviews with academic managers in medical universities and at the
Ministry of Health in Iran. All interviews were recorded digitally and analyzed by qualitative
content analysis.

The author have categorized the challenges under 3 themes, each included 3 subthemes:

Managerial issues (inefficacy of management, inadequacy of policies and strategies,

ineffective evaluation planning) ;

Administrative issues (inefficient and affected evaluators, inappropriate

implementation, inefficacy of approaches and tools) ;
 Structural issues (inappropriate culture, clinical education complexity, lack of alumni
follow-up system).

The results emphasize the need for educational evaluation development in nursing,
including systematic and regular educational evaluation planning focusing on efficient
feedback system and regard to excellence models. The comprehensive educational evaluation
requires participation, involvement, and collaboration with the Nursing Board, Nursing
ministerial office, faculties of nursing, and Nursing Organization. Thus, it is necessary to better
designate current educational evaluation systems, policies, approaches, methods, and
procedures.

EVALUATION:

The problems faced by the Irani nurses can be closely related to the issues in Indian
settings, a similar type of study can be carried out in India to assess how the higher authority
perceives the effectiveness of nursing education in India.

CONTENT:

This article is about Nurses’ perceptions of online learning as a convenient way of getting
professional training, using a sample of 1041 Registered Nurses (RNs) data were collected for
this quantitative study to reveal perception levels and relationship on online continuing
education. Data were collected through an online instrument and descriptive and inferential
analysis techniques using SPSS 18 was performed.
The result showed that Nurses generally have positive perceptions about online learning. A
significant difference was seen between nurses who used computers least and those with the highest
computer usage. Neither nurses’ ages nor lengths of working experience are significantly related to
perceptions of online programs. The difference between perceptions of nurses living in urban areas
and those living in rural areas was not significant.

It was observed by the authors that nurses regard online learning opportunities as
suitable for their working conditions and needs. Nurses should be provided with continued
training through online learning alternatives

EVALUATION:

This article is very useful as it promotes the use of technology in nursing education
making it more simplified, online learning provides flexibility to nurses in both urban and rural
areas. Nurses working in small-scale health centers may get the chance to extend their
knowledge hence they need not leave their job for perusing higher education at universities.
Online continuing nursing education will definitely be a boon for nurses who could not
continue her education due to some unforeseen circumstances
