...IN COMPETIENCIES BETWEEN ASSOCIATE DEGREES VERSUS BACCALAURATE DEGREE LEVEL ANIT ALEXKUTTY GRAND CANYON UNIVERSITY Difference in competencies between Associate Degree versus Baccalaureate Degree It is a difficult question to answer. Which one is good? One or other day all has to face this sometime. I believe both degrees make better nurse, but still there are difference in the programs that makes them unique. Associate Degree Nursing Associate Degree Nursing otherwise known as ‘entry level tertiary education nursing degree’ was started in 1952 at Fairleigh Dickson University. This type of degree is awarded by community colleges or hospital based nursing schools in US. To graduate as ADN nurse, one has to study 2 years and earn 72 credit hours. The core curriculum based on adult health, community health, maternal, newborn, pediatric and geriatric nursing. After completing the course, to work as Registered Nurse (RN), one has to pass basic requirements such as NCLEX RN test and other continuing education depending upon the nursing board. There are some advantages of ADN programs, that is, they are less expensive, low time consuming and easy way to entry level nursing jobs. ADN degree is based on practical bed side nursing like patient teaching, communicating, provider of care and manager of care. But scope of ADN nurses are limited to certifications. Baccalaureate Degree Nursing Baccalaureate Degree Nursing also known as Bachelor of Nursing or Bachelor...

...DIFFERENCES IN COMPETENCIES BETWEEN NURSES PREPARED AT ASSOCIATE DEGREE LEVEL VS BACCALAURATE LEVEL. The development in research and advancement in technology demands highly qualified individuals in many professions especially in the health care industry There are three ways to become an RN such as a nursing diploma program offered by hospitals. 2 -year associate degree usually offered at community colleges and a 4 year baccalaureate in nursing offered at colleges and universities. After World war II, demand for nurses grew dramatically in United States to meet the severity of the shortage. The faculty was forced to develop new entry level nursing program to prepare nurse technicians in a two year associate degree. (Creasia, 2011). In this paper, we are going to discuss the differences in competencies between a nurse who holds an associate degree versus a baccalaureate degree. Education differences between associate and baccalaureate degree nursing In addition to all the course work taught in associate degree nursing, BSN nurses are taught more "in depth treatment of physical and social sciences, nursing, research, public health, community health, nursing management and humanities" (Rosseter , 2013). These additional courses make a BSN nurse to grow in their profession, and to better understand cultural, political ,economic and social issues that affect patient and influence healthcare. So these different level graduate nurses perform from the same platform...

...When people think about globalization, most focus on sweatshop labor and the loss of manufacturing jobs overseas. It is easy to understand the race to the bottom that results as factory workers in one place face more intense competition from lower-cost labor on the other side of the world. College teachers would do well, however, to include their own future prospects as they consider the impact of globalization over the coming years. The university will be a very different place in another decade or two, and what it will look like depends to a large degree on what version of globalization wins out. Today we are often told that education must be made more efficient by being forced into the market model, moving away from the traditional concept of education as a publicly provided social good. This neoliberalism—the belief that today’s problems are best addressed by the market, and that government regulation and the public sector should both be as minimal as possible—is not unique to debates over education: it dominates economics, politics and ideology in the U.S. and most of the world. There are three elements involved in the neoliberal model of education: making the provision of education more cost-efficient by commodifying the product; testing performance by standardizing the experience in a way that allows for multiple-choice testing of results; and focusing on marketable skills. The three elements are combined in different policies—cutbacks in the public sector, closing...

...Zombicide is a cooperative zombie game in which each player takes the role of a survivor in a post-apocalyptic world. Each round in broken into three phases; The movement phase, the zombie phase, and the end phase. The movement phase is where players can use their three default actions to move around the board collecting items, murdering zombies or escaping a grizzly death. During this phase players can also generate sound, a sound is created by actions such as shooting and knocking down doors. The zombie phase begins with everyone receiving a card, these cards determine the zombies that will spawn for the phase. Zombies spawn on spawn slots placed on the map, and can be one of four different types; Walkers, Runners, Fatties and The Abomination....

... Now we have to prove that we cant get what we desire with a smaller number of guards. Therefore we take 2 guards, and if not possible with 2 its not with one, as well. To cover the elements in the set {d,e,h} we requires 2 guards from {d,e,h,I,a}. If it is the 2nd case then no guards from this set can cover for instance g, Therefore we would have once again at least 3 guards. 11. Let G be a graph that satisfies the condition in Exercise 10. (a) Must G be loop-free? (b) Could G be a multigraph? (c) If G has n vertices, can we determine how many edges it has? Eliminating an edge from the loop will still lead to a connected graph, therefore it is a necessity. It cant be since eliminating from a vertex with degree more than 1 will still result in a connected graph. It can be verified that these sorts of graphs are tress, therefore the number of edges is n-1. 15. For the undirected graph in Fig. 11.12, find and solve a recurrence relation for the number of closed v-v walks of length n ≥ 1, if we allow such a walk, in this case, to contain or consist of one or more loops. Beginning with v we can continue to v on the cirle once again or to go to w and then back to v. Therefore beginning with v then we have an arbitrary number of...

...E E 1.26 in 400/1.26=317.46km/inch E=35.5 N 119 W Determining the Epicenter Using 3 Seismographs Michelle Veitz This study determines the exact epicenter of a fictitious earthquake. Using 3 different seismograph reports from three locations (Albuquerque, Boise and Sacramento) and a map, we are able to pinpoint the exact epicenter. The epicenter was estimated to be 35.5 degrees North latitude and 119 degrees West longitude. Partial information was provided in a grid format regarding seismographic data of 3 locations. Using a seismograph report from location Albuquerque, Δt was determined. Using Vp and Vs provided, tp and distance to the epicenter was determined using formulas provided by the professor. After determining a scale for the map, the radial distance was determined by dividing the distance to the epicenter by the appropriate scale. Circles were placed around each location based off of those calculations. At the intersecting point of all three circles is the epicenter for this particular earthquake. These calculations are found in the grid below. Using a measurement of 24 seconds per tic mark on the seismograph, 96 seconds was used as the Δt for Albuquerque. Δt was given as 79.58 sec for Boise and 30.96 for Sacramento. Vp was given as 6.01 km/sec and Vs was given as 4.1 km/sec. Using the formula, tp = (Vs * ∆t) / (Vp – Vs), tp was determined for all 3 locations. Using formula Dist. = Vp km/sec * tp sec, the distances to the epicenter was calculated...

...My hometown, Shangnan County, located in the southeast Shaanxi Province, is famous for its beautiful landscape and various agricultural products, these make her a poem in the mountains. Among these different kinds of plant products, the featured one is tea, behind which there is a story that proves the wisdom of the people here. Once a saying tells that tea cannot survive once go beyond the thirty degrees in the north latitude, while located at about thirty-three degrees in the north latitude, it seems Shangnan is not an appropriate place for tea growing. However, about thirty years ago, the pioneers in Shangnan found a few tea saplings in the wild, then they began to cultivate, tens of years of endeavor bring them success. They make the tiny saplings of tea into a complete industrial chain, which support the whole economy powerfully. The creative and hardworking characteristic of people in Shangnan has made an impossible thing come into reality. Furthermore, they give tea a new favorable habitat in the northern areas in the planet. The beautiful scenery in Shangnan is also impressive. Among these beauty spots, the most well-known spot is Gold-Silk Gorge. As a Five-A class National Forest Park, the Gold-Silk Gorge is chartered by its varieties of species of plants and animals besides its spectacular sight. In the gorge, here you can enjoy the soft and gentle curves of the mountains, while on the other side, the steep cliff from the heaven down to the earth may take your breath...

...accuracy in which one is able to decipher between which pairs of shapes have been revolved about a central point, and pairs of shapes which are mirrored versions of the initial figure. In 1971, Roger Shepard and Jacqueline Metzler introduced the concept of mental rotation to the field of Cognitive Psychology after performing a series of studies measuring the reaction time and degree of accuracy in which it took participants to recognize whether between a pair of figures, the second shape was identical to the first and had simply been rotated about a point or was a reflected/mirrored version of the original figure. It is my belief that both the reaction time and percentage correct are greatly affected by angular disparity and are negatively correlated as a function of angle. I predict that the highest reaction time and lowest percent of accurate shape identifications will occur when a shape has been mirrored and rotated more than 90 degrees from it’s initial starting point. I believe that there will be both lower reaction time and a higher percent correct when blocks are rotated to a position that has a lower degree of angular disparity when juxtiposed with the original arangement of blocks. According to an article titled Mental Rotation by Yohtaro Takano in The Encyclopedia of Cognitive Science, “When angular disparity exceeded 180 degrees, it was found that response time did not continue to increase monotonically but turned to decrease up to 360 degrees. In other words, it showed non-monotonicity...

...dilemma whether or not to apply for the next post in the same company. The reasons may have been many as discussed in the presentation- low self-esteem, no proper knowledge of the subject, not a proper relationship with her supervisor, etc. The group discussed about different stages of career development, internal barriers in the organizations that might block you from moving up in the organization. Besides these, they discussed about aspects like ‘The Plateau Trap’, ‘The Glass Ceiling’, and they touched on the areas of Gender Issues. The group also sort of gave an orientation to the class about how each and everyone of us should plan our career path-how to choose the right job, right company and the right post, etc. Group 4: 360 Degree Appraisal Johnson & Johnson The fourth group discussed on the case of Johnson & Johnson which uses a 360 Degrees Appraisal program. This type of appraisal is done by all the employees about one another. The case discusses the pros and cons of this type of worker performance styles. The group also argued whether this type of appraisal program should be open or anonymous. In my personal opinion, these types of program should be done anonymously, because the level of accurateness of the performance analysis will be high when it’s anonymous rather than the other way. When you know that the rating you are giving will soon be found out by your peer, more of biasness will appear. Conclusion: Overall, both the presentations were...
