...Conducting personal interviews are a great way to connect with someone who shares the same passion or interests as you. Not only can they be informative, but they can also open up doors to demonstrate all the different aspects your future career will be comprised of. For this reason, I chose to interview Phyllis Fennel who was a Registered Nurse. I was able to learn a great deal about the profession of nursing and all the things it entails. First, I was able to find out what a typical day at the job consisted of. For a nurse, every day brings rise to new and varying situations. Patients are constantly coming and going each with their own condition or reason for hospitalization. Some characteristics of the job that occur every day include checking...

...registered nurses’ reasons for working in surgical areas Aims. To explore the reasons and motivation identified by qualified nurses for working within the surgical area. Background. Little is known about the career decisions qualified nurses make, although it is clear that some areas of practice are more popular than others. This qualitative descriptive study considers one common area, surgery, and explores the motivation for decisions made by Registered Nurses (RNs) to work in this area. Method. A sample of 16 RNs working within surgical areas participated in semistructured interviews, using a thematic interview schedule. Findings were analysed using the framework suggested by Morse and Field. Results. Analysis of findings indicates that all participants actively chose to work within surgery and that this was because of the pace and turnover of surgical work, personal satisfaction at the recovery of patients; the close links between this type of work; and participants’ original aims when first entering nursing and participants’ preference of surgery to other areas of nursing work. Participants actively rejected working in areas where patients were...

Employees as well as higher executives need to be selected through tests/interviews to find a right match with the smooth operation and accomplishment of the organizational goals and objectives.

What I have observed from personal experiences and just living in the city of Chicago is being aware is that in most cases alcohol and drugs are like a tandem actually, People that uses drugs are more likely to consume alcohol as well, and this is vice versa someone that use alcohol at some point and time in life has also used some form of drugs.

...After decades of conflict, the GoSS faces a massive task in leading recovery and development efforts, and the challenges of policy-making and implementation in Southern Sudan cannot be overstated. This chapter examines the key policy frameworks guiding government efforts to support long-term recovery and development, focusing on the over-arching vision of ‘taking towns to the people’, expenditure priorities and strategies for economic growth and governance. These policy areas are relevant to urbanisation in Juba for a number of reasons. First, policies on governance envisage a decentralised Southern Sudan in which Juba is treated equally with all state capitals in policy terms. However, implementation of the Local Government Act is already clashing with a parallel move towards the centralisation of key powers within the GoSS. Juba’s dual status as capital of South Sudan and of Central Equatoria State also raises particular challenges in relation to urban management. Second, the GoSS strategy for economic growth identifies agriculture as a key area for investment. So far, however, the growth in private sector activity has taken place in Juba and surrounding areas within Central Equatoria State, driven by the influx of government ministries, civil servants and aid agencies. Finally, the upcoming referendum on the future of Southern Sudan, due in January 2011, will have an important impact on policy processes. 3.1 ‘Takng towns to the people’ In 2004, a policy of ‘taking towns...

...be received, our awakening has to go on. As it does go on, we find that bit by bit we can discard the old life - the one that did not work - for a new life that can and does work under any conditions whatever," states Bill Wilson the co-founder of Alcoholics Anonymous. AA, also known as Alcoholics Anonymous, is a recovery program to help addicts cure their addiction. The addict is given a sponsor within the first 30 days of your recovery and he or she guides through the twelve steps of Alcoholics Anonymous. These twelve steps help the addict accept they have a problem, identify what exactly needs to be improved and changed, analyze the situation, learn from their progress and past mistakes, and help yourself and others. This racially mixed, self-supporting, and nonprofessional recovery program is the only way to cure addiction and reach the full potential of sobriety. In the 1930’s, it was common to consider alcoholism as a moral failure. Doctors at the time treated the situation like it was terminal. People without financial capability were able to find help through the Salvation Army or religious groups, while those who could afford it were put into a long term treatment in hospitals. In 1931 a Christian society named The Oxford Group practiced the five C’s: confidence, confession, conviction, conversion, and continuance. Bill Wilson, a struggling addict, needed support for his addiction and learned the beliefs of the Christian group. In 1935 he established what is now known...

...guide local recovery? Throughout history, we can now with certainty state that disaster happens, especially in my home of State of Florida. In Florida, we are of course known for hurricanes and everything else that comes with it. But we must also keep in mind that disasters are local and occurs in cities and counties of all sizes. The question that we can ask is what happens following a disaster? Well, the answer is that the people of that particular city or county is looking for the leadership of their elected officials in order to lead them through the devastating time; to act swiftly and quickly with an immediate response and reassuring the community that their lives will promptly return to normalcy. Nonetheless, no matter the size of the city, the local government leaders are responsible to oversee all four phases of the Emergency Management process, which are Preparedness, Response, Recovery and Mitigation. Furthermore, whenever we discuss disaster, the first thought that comes to mind is “Hurricane Katrina” because of the blatant misguided approach and lack of timely and effective response during this disaster recovery. But if I were to guess the major reason for such disastrous approach is because the government was focusing on a short-term relief while disregarding the long-term recovery process. Based on the readings and research, it would appear that historically this has been the situation for many other cases. When we are looking at “Long-Term Recovery”, it involves...

...TrTreating Lindsay Lohan 1 Treating Lindsay Lohan [Your Name] Treating Lindsay Lohan Executive Summary 2 Celebrities are often unprepared for the prestige and wealth that they acquire. Many adopt self destructive behaviors, including substance abuse and disrespect for the law. Such behaviors pose a risk to the celebrity as both an individual and professional. A growing trend has been for celebrities’ management companies to require celebrities to accept a certain level of intervention or face cancellation of their contracts. This study examines the case of Lindsay Lohan. Lohan has exhibited exactly the behaviors listed above, and, as a result has not only damaged her career, but also acquired a criminal record (Heger 2014). This study combines an abstract discussion of celebritycentric treatment approaches with a discussion specific to what might be done to mitigate Lohan’s career self immolation. Celebrity Parameters Celebrities often lead very busy lives. In addition to their work, which may consist of activities such as musical performance tours or shooting motion pictures, they may also lead rather frenetic social lives. Celebrities are also very much under the “social microscope”their fans want to know every detail of their life. The journalists who cover celebrities know that even a minor infraction, such as a parking ticket can be made into a very interesting story whereas acts of kindness and professionalism, such as taking the time to speak to a disabled...

...Health Care Interview This paper contains an interview with a health care nurse who works in a Home Health Nurse (HHN) agency. Part of the interview is the description of the home health department, the type of work done within this department, and some specific information that makes this department unique to other facility in medical care industry. The interview will provide a springboard to take a closer look on the primary responsibility of the provider, the department’s customer, the career path to this point, and the required training, preparation, and education for this field of work. Additionally, to understand how this department fit in to the broader context of health care industry, the discussion explores the interviewee’s role and compares the home health positions in other organizations. Home Health Nursing is primarily a Long-term component of Health Care Delivery Systems. According to Austin, A. and Wetle, V. (2012), “The term LTC (Long-Term Care) means providing health care services to an individual for more than 90 days. LTC includes hospitals, assisted living and community-based residential facilities, adult day care, respite care, hospice care, rehabilitation centers, mental health facilities… and care provided by family and friends” (p. 9). There are cases that care required is for recovery and monitoring purposes that last less than 90 days, but essentially the majority of care almost always involves a series or a process of care that takes time.

Simbulan Department of Behavioral Sciences College of Arts and Sciences University of the Philippines Manila In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Course BS 199.1 (Qualitative Methods in Behavioral Research) Christiani Lumayag Matugas 2011-31444 April 1, 2013 I. Introduction Statement of the Problem and Review of Related Literature The school is a battle field and each child is a lone soldier trying to make his/her way through. Each child will have to defeat a series of exams, scary teachers, lab experiments, physical education classes, crushes, mortal enemies and the like. Most of the time, children will learn from these experiences and mature with the lessons that each of these experiences have taught them. However, there are certain battles that wound all too deeply and do not seem to end. These battles are the battles of bullying. What is Bullying? Bullying is a social and interpersonal problem that involves the repeated, intentional use of aggression against a less powerful other (Whitney & Smith, 1993). Bullying can take different forms, be it direct (e.g., physical aggression), indirect (e.g., exclusion, spreading rumors), or verbal (e.g., name-calling). (Hunter, Mora-Merchan and Ortega, 2004) Children who are victims of bullying are more likely than non-victims...
