Objectives: A web-based comparison of licensing policies for IMGs in Australia and Canada to inform and improve policies in each country. Methods: The research involved identification of relevant government and medical regulatory bodies’ official websites documenting information on the licensing process for IMGs from each respective country; in-depth examination and comparison of the licensing processes outlined on these sites; and compilation of a comprehensive list of similarities and differences. Findings: While difficult entry requirements are imposed in Canada, once full registration is achieved IMGs have the same membership rights as Canadian medical graduates...

...You should consider me to take part in the Pathway to the Baccalaureate Program because it would dramatically improve my chance at succeeding in my future career objectives. My primary motivation that led me to seek out this program originated from my desire to receive a bachelor’s degree, a degree that neither of my parent’s have attained. The Pathway Program appealed to me as it would help me reach my goal of acquiring a bachelor’s degree by easing the transition between high school, the Northern Virginia Community College, and then finally to a four-year university. Additionally, the Pathway Program would give me suggestions of the colleges I am eligible for, which would help to remove the stress that I would otherwise accumulate from applying...

...“On average, 70% percent of youth graduate with a bachelor’s degree” (Unitedfriends.org). Seventy percent of transition age foster youth that have gone through UFC’s college sponsorship program have already surpassed the low 1% that graduate from college, nationally (Allianceforchildrensrights.org). UFC promotes consistency by requiring their participants to meet with their advocacy counselors once a week, for the duration of their residency. Their eighteen to twenty four month transitional housing program gives youth, many of whom for the first time, a sense of safety, openness, promoting well-being, is what helps these youth set a foundation and be able to grow from it. UFC’s education and career team ensure a great majority of their youth are in college and/or employed. They promote following your dreams and furthering your skills to combat the harsh reality of otherwise not having direction or support, as a young...

...Required College Education is seen as a pathway to knowledge and understanding of the world. The school system provides every single American this pathway to knowledge to help citizens in life. After traditional schooling comes higher education where people can specialize in different majors they are interested in. This level of specialized understanding can open up doors to careers that students want to pursue. Many Americans make the choice to continue their education but should the government make every citizen go to college? Graduates make the case that their degree earned them success in the professional world. There are many college success stories of people who earned their degrees and went onto pursuing careers they are interested in. One of these stories would be Jane Knecht. In the anthology “College’s Value Goes Deeper Than the Degree,” Hoover describes how several students went on to be successful after attending higher education. Hoover states that “At 52, she’s now director of business development at the Water Environment Research Foundation, in Alexandria, Virginia. Without the bachelor's degree, Ms. Knecht figures, she wouldn't have been considered for the job” (Practical Argument third edition, page 682). In result of going to college Ms. Knecht went on to being a fruitful member of her company and a highly successful citizen. The...

...how the IOM report has impacted the field of nursing and how registered nurses (RNs) will be acquiring higher more specialized education, ascending into leadership, and transform their practice. Impact on Education The acquisition of a nursing license in the United States is unique in the fact that there are currently several pathways to licensure. A person wishing to practice nursing may complete a hospital diploma program, a community college associate degree in nursing (ADN), attend a four-year college for a baccalaureate degree in nursing (BSN) or even complete a bridge program in which the individual already possesses a baccalaureate degree in another field of study learns nursing practice (Creasia & Friberg, 2011, p. 25). The report from the institute of medicine (IOM) recognizes these varied pathways to nursing as a benefit as well as a hindrance to the field (Institute of Medicine, 2011, p. 166). The benefit to the field is availability of nurses due to the attractive cost of education at the diploma and community college level versus the more expensive four year college route (Institute of Medicine, 2011, p. 168). The barrier of this pathway; however, has been discussed in the IOM report. According to research, 80 percent of the time ADN graduates do not continue their education onto the BSN level (Institute of Medicine, 2011, p. 186). The push toward this continuation of education comes from studies...

...ID No: 000764715 Programme: BSc (Hons) Nursing (Adult Nursing) Course Title: Patient Pathways of Care in Adult Nursing 1 NURS 1442 Cohort: 9/13 PGT Leader: Debbie Dorsett Submission Date: 25th August 2015 Word Count: 3250 This essay will be exploring a patient pathway in a clinical environment. The pathway to be investigated is the national diabetes pathway from the National Institution for Health and Care Excellence (NICE), which was published in February 2015 (NICE, 2015). I will also exploring local agendas and guidelines that are available from a local trust. I will be exploring one patient in particular, who cannot be named for confidentiality reasons, in accordance with the Nursing and Midwifery Councils (NMC, 2008) the code of conduct governing patient confidentiality, (NMC, 2008). Diabetes is growing in the United Kingdom (UK) at an alarming rate, (Diabetes UK, 2012). In 2010, evidence showed that approximately 3.1 million people in the UK aged over 16 years old have diabetes. By 2030, this figure is estimated to rise to 4.6 million, (National Health Service [NHS], 2014). It is important as an adult nurse, that I understand the pathway of diabetes as individuals with the condition are at risk of developing further health complications (Diabetes UK, 2012). This includes conditions such as heart disease, stroke and blindness (Diabetes UK, 2012a). A pathway is a “foreseen care placed in an appropriate time frame, written and agreed by a multidisciplinary...

...College mothers in the dual roles of student and parent: implications for their children's attitudes toward school.(Report) Article from: Merrill-Palmer Quarterly | January 1, 2009 | Ricco, Robert; Sabet, Sarah; Clough, Cassandra | Copyright inShare 2 The experiences of female college students who are raising children while pursuing higher education have received limited attention in the educational and psychological literature (Christopher, 2005; Colbry, 1995; Dyk, 1987; Gigliotti, 2001, 2004a, 2004b; Haleman, 2004; Home, 1998; Quimby & O'Brien, 2006; Ricco, McCollum, & Schuyten, 2003; Ricco and Rodriguez, 2006; Scott, Burns, & Cooney, 1996). The research that has been conducted with this population is primarily concerned with psychological stress resulting from conflicts among student, family, and work roles and with identifying the antecedents and moderators of such stress as well as the impact of role conflict on academic performance and overall adjustedness (Gigliotti, 2001, 2004a, 2004b; Home, 1998; Quimby & O'Brien, 2006). While research with college mothers has understandably focused on the negative consequences of their efforts to occupy multiple, conflicting social roles, the more positive implications of multiple roles for these mothers have not been consistently explored (Christopher, 2005; Dyk, 1987; Quimby & O'Brien, 2006). Mothers attending college are in a unique position as parents; they share with their school-age children the important...

...Throughout my four years of high school, I have changed my mind several times on what I wanted to pursue as my career after graduation. As a senior, I have realized that all along, the dentistry field has been one of my many interests. Unlike many children, growing up as a child I have always enjoyed going to the dentist office for my teeth cleanings. Now that I am 17 and graduating in the next five months, I have decided that the Human and Health Services field, Dental Hygiene in particular, is the career pathway that I am most interested in and would like to pursue further after graduation. In pursuing this occupation, I understand that there are many personality traits that I must present. Since Dental Hygienists are around people each day at work, a hygienist must be outgoing, ambitious, and willing to interact with several different types of people. One must also get along with his or her co-workers, be a hard worker, and be willing to adapt to change that may occur in their workplace; these would be considered as required personality traits to excel in this occupation. As a Dental Hygienist, you are considered to be a specially trained health care professional who help to maintain the dental health of patients and also prevent oral health problems that may occur due to poor oral hygiene habits and techniques (Dental Hygienist). Dental Hygienists see their patients for their routine appointments every six months where they receive a teeth exam and cleaning. As Dental...

...Often people think about going to college, obtaining a job, and starting a family. Although easier said than done, it all begins with a college degree. In modern-day America; a college degree is vital in order to gain access to the majority of paying jobs. A college degree can open many different career pathways. Because students are given such a broad variety of skills, they often find themselves in careers that are not necessarily derived from what they have studied. Due to the high regard that is held on people with collegiate degrees, certain opportunities are presented to them that are not always as accessible to those who otherwise have not pursued a degree. As a result, if two people were pursuing a career in a large company, such as ExxonMobil, the individual with a college degree is more likely to obtain a position. This is because individuals that possess a college degree are reviewed as the most intellectual of the two candidates. Moreover, in today’s workplace, being in possession of a college...

...Common Core: A Pathway for Success Philipe Cannada ITT Technical Institute-Duluth Turn on your television, radio, or attend any political event and one of the main topics will most likely be a conversation about whether the Common Core State Standards are good or bad for our students. Every parent, educator, policy maker, researcher and citizens of the United States needs to join the debate of Common Core State Standards for the rights of our future: the children born and unborn of this great country. How can we call our country a world power with 20 or more countries performing better than the United States in mathematics since the early nineties? Why is there even a debate amongst these groups when based on the 2014 PDK/Gallup poll of the public’s attitudes toward the public school revealed that 58% of Americans said the curriculum used in their community’s schools needs to change (pdkintl.org, 2014). The same poll revealed that the public believes only 13% of high school graduates are ready for the world of work, and only 31% ready for college (pdkintl.org, 2014). With all of this why are we all not taking a stand for the Common Core State Standards? The Common Core State Standards for mathematics create a staircase where students can build upon their knowledge conceptually at a pace that will be standardized across the country. Every student regardless of socioeconomic status, demographics, or political background should have the same pathway for their education. For...

...rewarding honest profession. In fact, in the December 2014 Gallup poll of Honesty/Ethics in Professions, nurses rated #1 as the most honest and ethical professionals. There are multiple pathways to follow to become a nurse. The two main pathways is by acquiring an associate degree (ADN) or a baccalaureate degree (BSN) in Nursing. But regardless of what nursing degree you have, to become a registered nurse you will need to challenge the same licensure examination, the NCLEX. Due to its practical and economic advantages, ADN programs nationwide yielded the most nurses (Raines & Taglaireni, 2008). But now that there are plenty of nurses around, there is push to hire nurses with a higher level of education. By comparing the competencies, preparations and advantages made for both degrees, we can explore how earning a higher education will lead to better patient outcome and job satisfaction. The severe shortage of nurses post-WWII enabled the creation of Associate Degrees in Nursing (ADN). To mitigate the shortage in nursing, a nurse educator, Mildred Montag, designed these 2-year programs (Casavant Telford, J & Keeling, A, 2011, p. 14). ADN programs supplied nurses who had the basic level of education and training to safely care for patients. ADN programs are typically offered at community colleges and are affordable and efficient ways to fill the need for more nurses. Although ADN nurses have the same license, Mildred Montag intended for nurses with associate degrees to work under...
