...Interveiw with a Master's Prepared Nurse Interview with a Master’s Prepared Nurse Interview with a Master’s Prepared Nurse Introduction As a mastered prepared nursing student, gaining insight into the interplay among education, career path, and opportunities by interviewing an already masters prepared nurse, in the field of nursing education, can be used as a guidance into the experiences that may lie ahead in a promising and rewarding career in nursing education. This interview with a mastered prepared registered nurse, helped identify specific competencies that the MSN-prepared nurse gains after completing such a program. The interview was conducted on October 22, 2014 with the Clinical Nurse Educator for Woman and Infant Services, at Banner Gateway Medical Center. She was accommodating for this interview, although she states her days are quite busy, in her clinical role. Questions and Career Overview The Nurse Educator was first asked what her role was as the Clinical Nurse Educator for this medical center. She was quick to state that nurse educators in the Banner Health System not only have education for their specific units, but also have responsibilities to educate system wide. A day in the life of a Nurse Educator sometimes goes globally with her knowledge; to teach beyond his/her assigned unit. She continued to explain that there are a variety of functions that her position encompasses, however, she limited the list to the top three: onboarding/new...

...hammer. Conserving these sites takes a lot of hard work and dedication from the local authorities but it can transform the morphology of the region and reward the developers for their hard work. Karachi was home to British troops in the 19th century and is therefore rich in Victorian era buildings. Most of these buildings are in a bad shape but the government is working to preserve them. Although the pace of redevelopment is slow, the fact that work is going on gives a person relief that the historic buildings of the city will be preserved. One such building is the Merewether tower; this iconic structure is one of few structures that are in a good condition, but sources claim that from the inside, it is slowly being degraded. Once the gateway to the city, it has been forgotten by many although its name is very common. The objective of this research is to document the existing conditions of the tower and the surroundings so that it can be redeveloped in order to improve the morphology of the region. This paper will then analyze how the heritage sites can contribute in enhancing the sustainable urban development and communities to grow and interact with their heritage.

...Personality Theories Robert Dan BEH/225 June 01, 2014 Philip Mulvey Personality Theories Psychology is the study of our minds and our behavior and there are scientific methods that are used to study these connections. While there are a multitude of fields, most come after the main four theories on psychology. We can look at four main theories of personality as it is studied today. These would be psychodynamic, humanistic, trait, and social learning. These can represent most all of the assessment tests that we use today. Some of the most famous personality psychology theorists were Sigmund Freud and Erik Erikson. Behavioral theorists include B. F. Skinner and John B. Watson. Humanist theorists include Carl Rogers and Abraham Maslow. Now it does appear that what we have learned so far came from these men of psychological science. We have learned that behavioral theories will demonstrated just how conditioning can be used to learn new information and behaviors. While we may not all agree with each theory, or maybe we only fully agree with just one, all have contributed greatly to our understanding of humans think, act, react, and behave as a person. We have learned that behaviorism (behavior psychology), is a theory of learning based on the idea that all behaviors are learned through conditioning. We go around and about our lives every day using these elements of psychology and we may not even be fully aware that we are doing this. We evaluate other people constantly....

I would be honored to help you in this time of transition. I feel that my proposal is fair and will more than meet your needs. I have taken the time to research and find the best computers for your needs at the very minimal cost. I have chosen to build a custom server and also Mr. Michaels machine. I have decided that the field employees will only need basic laptop machines. I have chosen not to have personal machines for the temporary employees because you indicated earlier in our interview that they all work from home on their own computers. Yours and Mr. Michaels machines will be hardwired to the network. I have also proposed that the office have wireless for the field employees. There will be a shared printer/copier/scanner/fax machine for all of the employees to use and also a private printer just for...

...professional and ethical standards, and legal requirements. However, there are guidelines and a Code of Ethics to help social workers ensure this process is handled in a professional and safe manner. Mandated reporting is one of the main tools in the fight against child abuse prevention. As a social worker, I have a legal and moral responsibility to report any suspicions of child abuse. According to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, child abuse is defined as, “Any recent act or failure to act on the part of a parent or caretaker which results in death, serious physical or emotional harm, sexual abuse or exploitation; or an act or failure to act which presents an imminent risk of serious harm” (Child Welfare Information Gateway 2008). Child abuse can range anywhere from actual physical assault to verbal assault and/or neglect. Each year, millions of children are abused and neglected and many die at the hands of their primary care givers. Each year, the U.S. Department of health and Human Services, along with the Children’s Bureau, collect data on child abuse and neglect throughout the United States. These statistics are staggering and absolutely horrifying. According to the Children’s Bureau, for the year of 2011, in the United States there were 676,569 victims of child abuse and neglect. Out of those 679,569 victims, 78.5 percent suffered neglect, 17.6 percent suffered physical abuse, and 9.1 percent suffered from sexual abuse. A total of 1,545 children died...

...various levels; in some cases, not mine in particular; it can mold you to be a person that you grow to dislike. Child abuse is determined by the state laws, but according to Child Welfare Information Gateway all states follow the minimum standards set by Federal law. "Federal legislation lays the groundwork for States by identifying a minimum set of acts or behaviors that define child abuse and neglect. The Federal Child Abuse Prevention and Treatment Act (CAPTA), (42 U.S.C.A. §5106g), as amended by the Keeping Children and Families Safe Act of 2003 defines child abuse and neglect as, at minimum: • "Any recent act or failure to act on the part of a parent or caretaker which results in death, serious physical or emotional harm, sexual abuse or exploitation; or • An act or failure to act which presents an imminent risk of serious harm. Most Federal and State child protection laws primarily refer to cases of harm to a child caused by parents or other caregivers; they generally do not include harm caused by other people, such as acquaintances or strangers."(Child Welfare Information Gateway) these are the minimum laws for child abuse. Child abuse is not specific to one thing. There are many different types of abuse which according to Child Welfare Information Gateway are physical abuse, neglect, sexual abuse, abandonment, emotional abuse, and substance abuse. "Physical abuse is non-accidental physical injury (ranging from minor bruises to severe fractures or death)...

...JetBlue Soars into the Friendly Skies October 18, 2010 Discuss the trends in the U.S airline industry and how these trends might impact a company’s strategy. Despite the unpredictable and rising costs of aircraft fuel, oil and maintenance, threats of terrorism, and fear of decreases in business and leisure travelers, the airline industry has remained resilient in recent years. According to Air Transport Association of America (ATA), (2006), the airline industry lost about 13 billion dollars during the early 1990s, and earned about 23 billion dollars from 1995 until 2000. The industry suffered additional loss of 35 billion dollars from 2001 until 2005 yet, has recently begun to show another wave of growth. Additionally, the September 11 attacks, energy conservation, and the recent economic crisis greatly influenced the airline industry’s ability to affect the long term growth. Increased competition from new low-cost airlines and lack of trained pilots added to the bleak outlook. Charging for baggage, mergers, and elimination of meals are cost-cutting initiatives which drive trends at it relates to airline passengers. The airline industry, among other commerce industries has shown pockets of recovery after some painful years. According to ATA, the industry trade organization for major U.S airlines, this year there were eight months on consecutive revenue growth. Passenger travel skyrocketing to 17 percent in comparison to last year. (Thompson, Strickland, &...

By providing a forum for non-veteran scholars in the field to share their current research findings with a broader public, Palma has joined hands with the Lebanese Emigration Research Center in celebrating LERC’s sixth anniversary serving international and interdisciplinary scholarly discourse between Lebanon and the rest of the world. The migration special issue owes its inception to a conversation between Beirut und Buenos Aires, in which Eugene Sensenig-Dabbous, an AustrianAmerican researcher at LERC, and the eminent Argentinean migration scholar, Ignacio Klich, developed the idea for a special migration issue and presented it to the LERC research team. This Libano-Austro-Iberian link laid the foundation for an exciting collection of articles, which I have had the privilege to guest edit.

...mission statement as well as the corporate vision. Topics including employee motivation, supervisory leadership training, and workplace enhancement will be examined. The conclusion will analyze the steps that RadioShack needs to make improvements and ultimately how successful they could be. The analysis will be based on financial reports and independent employee interviews performed by the author on location at several local RadioShack locations. The opinions of the employees varied on many of the different topics but the overall opinion of the company’s culture and practices was very poor. RadioShack’s Woes RadioShack is a familiar name in the American electronics retailing industry. They operate nearly 5000 stores across the country and deal in the highly competitive consumer electronics segment. The brick and mortar based retailer has experienced limited success in battling their “big box” competitors like Best Buy, H.H. Gregg, Target, and Wal-Mart to name a few. The emerging online battlefield has left them reasonably behind as well. Their well documented financial distress is tearing at the foundation that holds this company together and is threatening to destroy it from the inside out. The problem is escalating quickly and changing the behaviors of the people within the organization. Problems within the...
