Summary: This review synthesizes international research on how intersectionality has been used to explore issues within the nursing profession. The review identifies the intersecting variables that have been explored, how intersectionality has been operationalized, and the implications for nursing leadership. The findings reveal that access to education, absence of career expectations, and patriarchal structures support male nurses in leadership positions in healthcare systems. Intra-group differences highlight the paradox of homogenous categories for ethnicity and gender. Being a member of an ethnic minority group hinders career progression regardless of gender. The review emphasizes the importance of future research using intersectionality to understand how social categories empower or impede a nurse's career progression to leadership roles.

Summary: The aim of this integrative review was to identify nursing students' experiences of handoff practices and the effects of handoff education on their learning outcomes. The review found that nursing students reported diverse handoff experiences, and factors such as knowledge, anxiety, confidence, and type of student supervision influenced their experiences. Various handoff education methods were implemented, with some significantly improving students' attitudes, satisfaction, confidence, clarity, and quality in handoff communication. However, more handoff education is still needed for nursing students to learn safe and quality handoff practices.

Summary: This review critically analyzed studies on the use of OSCEs in post-registration nurse education, finding that OSCEs not only serve as an assessment tool but also enhance learning and increase participants' self-efficacy. OSCEs are recognized globally as a valuable tool for learning and assessment in post-registration nursing. While there is limited evidence supporting the impact of OSCEs in post-registration nurse education, further research is needed to evaluate the translation of knowledge gained from OSCEs into clinical practice and the effectiveness compared to traditional education methods.
