Entrepreneurial nurses need personal, interpersonal, commercial, and strategic skills. They can work as social, business, and inter-organizational entrepreneurs. However; entrepreneurial nurses have been constantly facing numerous personal, sociocultural, academic, organizational, etc. obstacles. Therefore, there must be internal and external stimuli in order to motivate them to overcome these obstacles.

Nurses have multiple needs in order to play they’re entrepreneurial role. Thus, it’s necessary to attempt to identify the obstacles and needs of entrepreneurial nurses and solve them to provide the necessary backgrounds for their creative activities so that they can meet the health needs of individuals and societies.

Nurses are the first line in assessing the patient's pain and performing palliative measures, and their proper training is essential. The aim of this study was to compare the effectiveness of lecture and mobile phone-based teaching methods on the knowledge and performance of nursing students in patient’s pain management.

The present study was a semi-experimental before and after study with two intervention and control groups. The samples included 52 nursing students in Saveh Medical Sciences Faculty. Learners were placed in two intervention (mobile based application) and control (lecture) groups by a simple random method. The data collection tool included a questionnaire to measure the level of awareness and a checklist to measure the pain management skills of patients by the learners. Mann-Whitney, paired t test and independent t test were used to data analysis.

After training, students' knowledge scores about pain management increased significantly in both intervention and control groups. In addition, there was a significant difference in the mean score of pain management skill and its measurement among the learners of both groups after the intervention (P<0.05).

The use of a mobile-based application can improve pain management and pain measurement skills in nursing students. The correct use of these programs can improve the quality of students' learning and also improve their knowledge and skills.

Borzuya, the physician, a sage as well, is one of the prominent figures of Shahnameh in Sassanid era especially in Nushirvan court. In seeking of the immortality tree, he made a voyage to India. Such a burden to bear for memorization and its translation to Pahlavi and then dedication the work made him immortal owing to the allocation of the first chapter as Borzuya, the sage.

Regarding a method fusion of history, analysis, and education, the germane sources were reflected upon and some presuppositions were critically pondered as the similarity of Borzuya and Bozorgmehr. However, these names are two distinguished figures in Shahnameh, a physician and a minister, respectively. Regarding, the concept of development is not allocated to one facet, but it is multifaceted. Also it must be noted that the true outreach won’t come but with comprehensive and true thinking, design, edit, execution and assessment.

First, the education of Ancient Persia is categorized as an educational archetype due to interaction of Iranian civilization with its east and west civilizations. Second, the educational implications of Shahnameh can be represented in different levels; basic (art and wisdom education) and supreme (intuition and immortality education).

  One of the principles of education including medical education is allocated to the role model presentation for the students. Owing to the personality of Bozuya who was a famous physician and furthermore he was an expert in philosophy, linguistics, literature, and logic, he can be presented as an appropriate role model for any contemporary learner.

Oral and dental health is one of the components of public health, and improving oral and dental health is one of the most important goals of disease prevention. The integration of oral health in public health care is strongly recommended by the World Health Organization. Nurses can actively participate in the promotion of oral health care. The aim of the research was to assess the need for oral and dental health indicators in the curriculum of nursing students.

In this cross-sectional study, 119 third- and fourth-year nursing students of Shiraz University of Medical Sciences were included in the study. Checklist was used as a tool to evaluate students' level of knowledge about oral and dental health, and Chi-square test was used by spss software to analyze the data.

There was no significant relationship between the level of knowledge and ability of students about oral and dental hygiene with the duration of studying at the university, gender, marital status and grade point average (p>0.05), while there was no significant relationship between the level of knowledge of nursing students in the field of health indicators. There is a significant relationship between mouth and teeth and the need to teach these topics in nursing (p<0.05).

This study shows the weak knowledge and ability of nursing students in the field of oral and dental indicators and the important role of the nurse in the health team, and as a result, the need to include this topic in the curriculum of nursing students and present this topic as part of the internship.
