...Factors That Contribute to Nurse Manager Retention Mickey L. Parsons, Jana Stonestreet Disclosures Nurs Econ. 2003;21(3) * Print * Email Introduction The purpose of this study was to describe factors that contribute to a health system's successful retention of nurse managers. This study is the first of a series that will provide the foundation for developing the nursing organization as a "health-promoting organization." The background and significance, theoretical framework, study findings, and executive strategies are discussed. The results and implications are intended to guide executive strategies, including organizational interventions, to build the nursing organization for quality patient care and positive working environments. Background and Significance The glue that holds the hospital together are the first-line managers. However, these managers are caught in a crossfire. Torn between multiple needs — patient, the staff, and the administration — nurse managers have been downsized and stretched over multiple units (Curtin, 2001). Nurse managers responsible for multiple units are severely challenged to maintain the needed blend and balance of clinical and business management, which is essential to staff nurse retention. Report after report identifies the importance of the nurse manager in retaining nursing staff (Boyle, Bott, Hansen, Woods, & Taunton, 1999; Corser, 1998; Cullen, 1999; Flannery & Grace, 1999; Fletcher, 2001; Kerfoot, 2000; Leveck...

The functionalist perspective plays a major role in the success of the US economy...

...Health Care Spending HCS 440 Health Care Spending Health care spending in the United States is a key contributor to the country's economy. The health care industry provides employment as well as providing services that bring healthier lifestyles, better productivity, and a longer life. Health care also brings the development of new drugs and new medical technology that also helps keep the economy employed. However, although the health care and health care spending does tend to help the economy slightly it is beginning to hinder our economy. "In all industrialized countries, with the exception of the United States, health care affordability is ensured through universal insurance based or tax- finances systems" (Squires, 2012, p. 1). Even though the United States spends more in health care than other countries it does not mean the United States has better quality of care than the other countries. Health care spending is depleting this country and the quality of care is not improving. The United States needs to change the way it spends money on health care before it is too late. Current National Health Care Expenditures In 1980 the health care expenditure was at $256 billion, in 2010 the expenditure went up more than 10 times to $2.6 trillion. The spending, however, has slowed in the last few years. The health care expenditure was growing rapidly from the late 1900s to the early 2000s but has slowed slightly. However, it is still expected that the health care...

...instructional difficulties, and learning disabilities. They recommend educational programs; assess behavioural and emotional problems, and support parents and teachers. They also deal with the full spectrum of social problems including family violence, peer interactions, substance abuse, sexual abuse, neglect and the influences of these problems on school functioning. School counsellors act as a screening and referral resource for a wide range of medical, social, and emotional disorders that interfere with academic functioning. In general, school counsellors study behaviour, protect and promote mental health, and apply the principles of psychology to improve school adjustment and learning. Specific services, however, depend on the competencies of the school counsellor and the needs of the particular school system being served (Koe, 1991). For instance, the school where I was placed for my field-work had a school counsellor who also had to fulfil the role of a special educator and a remedial teacher as and when the need arose. School counsellors are employed for the purpose of providing specialized support for students with exceptional needs. They act as a link between the school, the home, the community and other agencies to help the student function effectively and achieve their fullest potential. The school counsellor is expected to carry out certain duties and responsibilities – they provide direct counselling services to students; participate in the identification and planning process...

This now forces policymakers to prioritize the production of skilled manpower that can contribute for sustainable development. The countries that achieved sustainable development have given a high priority to science and technology education in formulating education policy. Bangladesh has no more alternatives in order to gain development, except properly utilizing its population. Bangladesh’s economy and human development could have grown faster than its actual progression in the last 25 years (that is, since independence in 1971), if it had earlier taken substantial steps in educational development.

...use of ICT’s to broaden access to and improve the quality and efficiency of basic education service delivery. The poor performance of students across the country in national and international tests, and the consistent high school dropout rates in both elementary and secondary school levels, underscore the deterioration of the quality of the Philippine schools system. Computer education offers potential for human betterment, at the same time, it is taught with great dangers that neither the potential can be truly realized, nor the danger avoided, without careful far-teaching critical questions being asked about computers in education. It is clear and evident that whatever this eventual outcome, the debate about computers in education is just beginning and is going to be with us for some time. The mathematician, computer scientist, and psychologist, Seymour Papert conducted renowned projects in the 1970’s at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology with the goal of making children the “builders” of their open intellectual “buildings”. (Harris and Kingston, 2002) It was Paperts intention to design “a computer language that would be suitable for children. It offers extraordinary opportunities to create an environment where one could learn algebra, geometry, problem solving, spelling, and history in ways more likely the informal learning of the unschooled toddler than the educational processes now...

...JOB SATISFACTION, MANAGERIAL AND LEADERSHIP STYLES AND ITS RELATIONSHIP WITH THE MARKETABILITY OF THE HOTEL AND RESTAURANT ESTABLISHMENTS IN ZAMBALES --------- Presented by RODEL EBAL CHAPTER 1 THE PROBLEM AND ITS BACKGROUND INTRODUCTION Job satisfaction in staff/managers of hotels and restaurants should be of great concern to any organization. Hotel and Restaurant staff and management personnel hold the majority of positions in most hospitality-industry settings, and replacement of a licensed personnel is costly and time consuming. Many registered and/or accredited personnel in hotels and restaurant sectors had limited time but ample exposure to varying degrees of job satisfaction. What makes some so happy with their chosen profession, and others so unhappy? Aside from a change of career, is there a solution? With the current employee’s shortage, and the anticipation of worsening conditions, the researcher of this study set out to investigate the sources of dissatisfaction in the hotel and restaurant settings. Most medium-sized enterprises realize that their effectiveness depend on the utilization of their human resources. Employees’ levels of burnout, job satisfaction and job performance give an indication of the effectiveness of an enterprise. The objective of this study was to determine the relationship between a dispositional variable (sense of coherence), burnout, job satisfaction and job performance. A once-off cross-sectional survey design was used...
