...median could also been used, but in my opinion will not be more beneficial to knowing the average and the most common length of hours on the control and experimental groups. 4. Were the distributions of scores similar for the experimental and control groups for the length of labor? Provide rationale for your answer. The standard deviation for the experimental group was 7.78(length of hours) and for the control group was 7.2(length of hours).By looking at the scores of the standard deviation my opinion is that the distribution scores appear similar. But if we look at the average length hours of these groups you can see the experimental group length of labor was almost 2 hours longer that the control group which I feel is a significant difference. Each group must have similar outliers to affect the standard deviation in some way to make them so close. 5. Were the experimental and a control...

The first thing I noticed while reading the story was how the two girls differed in appearance. with the way the mother describes Maggie she says of how Maggie is vary skinny like a small child, dark skinned and has burn scars down her arms and legs, from when her home had caught on fire and she had to be pulled out as her mother had explained, causing her to be ashamed of her looks. Her mother says “she will stand hopelessly in corners, homely and ashamed of the burn scars down her arms and legs, eyeing her sister with a mixture of envy and awe.” Maggie’s scars have really affected the way she carries herself.

That attracted me because years ago I thought of going to medical school after high school but lack of money prevented that, nursing was not introduced to me till later while attending a ACLS class at a local collage in which the instructor was a R.N., she thought I was a person whom would be good at nursing. I then searched and found out what nursing had to offer, which seemed to be along the lines of a M.D. but without the length of schooling and residency. I have been able to find a job in different areas of nursing and now working in a perioperative setting which presently meets my carrier goals. Working in an enviroment that has high technology and being self motivated, working with different disciplines and a 12 hour work days three days a week keeps me attracted.

In today's fast paced society it is common for people to experience stress in various aspects of their lives. Due to the ever evolving and increasing amounts of responsibilities the average college student has to manage on a daily basis, there is an urgent need for appropriate stress management skills in the following main causes of stress in a college student’s life: personal, academic, and financial. Let's further clarify these areas. Personal - balance of family and social life; academic - challenge of maintaining mandatory GPA; financial - stress of the cost of education and the need to garner and maintain gainful employment to cover these costs.

First of all, my ambition is to graduate with my masters and become a teacher for the elementary school. My mother who has been and still is a 2nd grade elementary teacher for the past 25 years.

When students attend a university or college campus that encourages diversity it pushes them to go through these diverse experiences that may help change their lives in an array of different ways. Diverse experiences could consist of something as simple as joining a club you never would have thought you’d join or making a bolder choice like taking a trip to another country with the study abroad programs provided by higher education. It is important to keep in mind that although it takes will and a certain mindset to throw yourself at experiences like these, it may not be as hard as one may think. When students chose a higher education school they typically like to see that their future campus will be a diverse one, because the benefits that come with that type of environment are tremendous for college students. There is an article that was published in The Philadelphia Inquirer about the specific views of students and how they feel about the role diversity plays on their individual campus experience and the overall impact diversity had on them throughout college. The diversity generates a better classroom discussion, students say. Jillian Smith, a Dickinson College sophomore, said her courses on urban issues were better served by the presence of students who grew up in the inner city.
