...NRS-430-V 03-26-15 Differences in Associate Degree prepared Nurse and Baccalaureate prepared Nurse Competencies. The rise in morbidity and mortality rates among hospitalized patients in the United States heightens concerns about professional competency. Nurses and other healthcare professionals are under increased pressure to provide safe, effective patient care. Research has shown that lower mortality rates, fewer medication errors, and positive outcomes are all linked to nurses prepared at the baccalaureate and graduate degree levels. This paper will compare the differences between an Associate degree prepared nurse (ADN) and a Baccalaureate degree prepared nurse (BSN). Education Differences An ADN or associate degree nurse is as a nurse with two to three years training, usually at a community college or technical school. The curriculum usually consists of fundamentals, the basics of nursing and clinicals. A BSN or baccalaureate prepared nurse is a nurse with four or five years of training usually at a University. With the BSN, a nurse will have to think outside the box, use credible research, theory, leadership skills, all of which will make the nurse a better critical thinker, and in turn her patients will be safer. Both ADN and BSN will be qualified to take the NCLEX exam upon graduation from either community college or a university and become RNs. ADNs get primarily fundamental education in school consisting of formulating care plans and a basic understanding...

...drinking a cup of coffee before I have to put in my hours as a nurse. I come upon the television seeing something odd with today’s news. The reporter mentioned something about a certain virus beginning to spread on the cattle and farmers. None knew what it was and said they are doing testing and research later on. I told to myself while sighing in grief, “Great another busy night for me”. Within that moment I hear my boyfriend Kyle slowly walking into the kitchen. I quickly turn to him and faintly yell out Bekah: Did you hear what’s going on? Kyle only responded with a grunt I continued and said Bekah: The news stated that there is some virus breaking outside of the town. Kyle responds Kyle: which means? Bekah: Which means that I’m going to probably be working late tonight. Kyle: Ok ill scavenge for some food tonight since it’s my day off Bekah: I’m sure you will be fine honey (small giggle) Kyle: Hope so (small giggle) Scene 2 I begin to walk into the hospital and all I see is the same thing with people in pain, coughing, or cant even wake up due to their sickness. The doctor walks along side and asks Doctor: How are you this beautiful day Mrs. Yount? (While looking at paper work) Bekah: Oh same thing, different day you know? Doctor: Well I wish I could agree with you but since this virus has broken out ill need you to check a couple patients and don’t worry, like I always say they… Bekah: Don’t bite, don’t worry I will get them taken care of and bring you the...

INTRODUCTION In December of 2013, The World Health Organization (WHO) conveyed a consultation on improving the measurement of quality of maternal, newborn, and child care in health facilities. This annual report proposed 19 core indicators for reporting on the quality of MNHC care in nations around the globe. While some key interventions have increased over the past decade, little progress has been made in the quality of care in some health care facilities around the world. The amount of health care coverage provided to mothers, newborns, and children in low income nations is very minimal compared to high income nations particularly in the United States where health care and...

...old Price Forecast 2013 Predictions and Estimates from Multiple Analysts The Gold price forecast for the year 2013 has been covered by multiple analysts. Here is their consensus: While the price of Gold has a gamut of forecast ranges for 2013, most experts remain bullish on the yellow metal for the year, though some have scaled back their estimates slightly over the past few months. A compilation of their predictions are listed below. Bank of America Merrill Lynch In a December 2012 report, Bank of America Merrill Lynch stated that Gold would average $2,000 in 2013, with the metal climbing to $2,400 in 2014. “Large-scale policy easing by the U.S. Federal Reserve and European Central Bank positions Gold as a useful hedge against global macro and inflation risks taking the commodity to $2000/ oz levels”, said the bank. The bank added that, “We have a sixmonth [Gold price] target of $2000 an ounce, but see scope as well for prices to rise to $2400 an ounce by the end of 2014. These targets reflect our view that the Fed will maintain mortgage purchases until the end of 2014 and will move to buy Treasuries following the end of Operation Twist in December 2012.” BNP Paribas BNP Paribas expects Gold to average $1,865 an ounce for the year. “Market sentiment towards Gold has been much more uncertain in 2012 than was the case in previous years. Yet, we expect Gold to achieve a new record high in 2013 due to further monetary easing, less tail risk related to a breakup of the euro...

To succeed in today’s marketplace, companies must know how to turn mountains of marketing information into fresh customer insights that will help them deliver greater value to customers. Let’s start with a good story about marketing research and customer insights in action at P&G, one of the world’s largest and most re- spected marketing companies. P&G makes and markets a who’s who list of consumer megabrands, including the likes of Tide, Crest, Bounty, Charmin, Puffs, Pampers, Pringles, Gillette, Dawn, Ivory, Febreze, Swiffer, Olay, Cover Girl, Pantene, Scope, NyQuil, Duracell, and dozens more.
