...distress, education level, and critical reflective practice (CRP) related to their work engagement. The study is relevant to nursing, given registered nurse (RN) documented experiences of job-related distress and work dissatisfaction, and the nursing shortage crisis. A better understanding of factors that may enhance RN work engagement is needed. METHODS. A non-experimental, descriptive, correlational design was used to examine the relationships among four variables: moral distress, education level, CRP, and work engagement. The sample included 28 intensive care unit RNs from three separate ICUs in a 355-bed Southwest magnet-designated hospital. RESULTS. There was a positive direct relationship between CRP and work engagement, a negative direct relationship between moral distress and work engagement, and CRP and moral distress, together, explained 47% of the variance in work engagement. Additionally, in the neonatal intensive care unit, a positive direct relationship between increased educational level and CRP was identified, with a suggested negative relationship between increased education level and moral distress. IMPLICATIONS. Strategies to promote CRP and reduce moral distress are recommended, to promote RN work engagement. Additionally, further study on the role of education in...

Please read through the following comments carefully to see why we are focusing on critical thinking and online research. Make sure to pay special attention to the two comments in highlighted in red: “The World Wide Web can be a great place to accomplish research on many topics. But putting documents or pages on the web is easy, cheap, or free, unregulated, and unmonitored (at least in the USA). There is a famous Steiner cartoon published in the New Yorker (July 5, 1993) with two dogs sitting before a terminal looking at a computer screen; one says to the other ‘On the Internet, nobody knows you're a dog.’ The great wealth that the Internet has brought to so much of society is the ability for people to express themselves, find one another, exchange ideas, discover possible peers worldwide they never would have otherwise met, and, through hypertext links in web pages, suggest so many other people's ideas and personalities to anyone who comes and clicks. There are some real "dogs" out there, but there's also great treasure. Therein...

...questionbase.50megs.com A-Level Revision Notes SMP 16-19 Mathematics – Revision Notes Unit 3 – Functions Algebra Of Functions 1. Functions can be combined whereby fg(x) = f(g(x)) = g(x) followed by f(x). 2. The set of values for which a function is defined is the domain (i.e. x values), and the set of values that the function can return is the range (i.e. y values). 3. Many-to-one functions have more than one value in the domain giving one value in the range. It is impossible to have many-to-one functions. 4. The inverse of a function is denoted by f –1(x), and is only a function if f(x) is one-to-one. 5. The graphs of a function and its inverse function have reflection symmetry in the line y = x. 6. Parameters are values in a function that can vary, but for any given function mapping x onto y they will act as constants (e.g. a, b, and c in y = ax2 + bx + c). -p 7. The image of y = f(x) under a translation of is y = f ( x + p ) + q . q 8. The image of y = f(x) after reflection in the y-axis is y = f(–x). 9. The image of y = f(x) after reflection in the x-axis is y = –f(x). 10. If f(–x) = f(x) then f is an even function (i.e. is symmetric about the y-axis). 11. If f(–x) = –f(x) then f is an odd function (i.e. has rotational symmetry about the origin). Circular Functions 1.

In discharging their duties effectively there is always a question that remains unresolved whether nursing should be approached as a science or an art or both? Academicians and practitioners stand on both sides and some tow along the middle path. Gary Rofle (2002) suggests that it’s not a pure science and discounts the opinion that nursing reflects technical rationality. He suggests that reflective learning, learning as an outcome of doing, which is closely related to art and which differs from individual to individual, dimension should also be considered. From the above discussion we can conclude that nursing...
