Summary Empirics First, the empirics involves the science of nursing (Carper, 1978). The science of nursing is applied in nursing education. It involve knowledge about the interpretation of the law, the description of theories and it can...

...My personal educational goal is to obtain my esthetics license before I graduate high school. Then, I will strive to advance my ambitions in the beauty industry at New Beginnings College of Cosmetology of Albertville, Alabama . In addition to receiving my full cosmetology licence, I aim to own a salon and possibly open a privately owned cosmetology college. Cosmetology has been my ambition for as long as I can possibly remember. I have always loved makeup, hair, and nails. By the time I could walk, I was applying any makeup I could find. If I got my hands on it, I usually smeared it all over my face ;nevertheless, I still felt beautiful the entire time. When I was a little older, I spent most of my free time attempting to style the three Barbie mannequins I had received over numerous holidays. My love of makeup and hair was a stage that I never grew out of. I started out at EPCOT taking cosmetology classes my sophomore year in Hollywood, Alabama, then I had to move about sixty miles to Sand Rock, Alabama. Now, I am still pursuing my dream as a third year Cosmetology student at Cherokee County Career and Technical Center. By the time I graduate, I should have over one thousand hours of classes in the Cosmetology field....

...believes that understanding of this would lead to better recruitment and retention strategies of managerial workforce in the hospitality industry. Short listing of available research: a) Research on Work Values: Many studies have been conducted on identifying work values in an institution, (Elizur, 1984; Hofstede, 1980; Mok et al., 1998; Pryor, 1987; Rokeach, 1973; Sagie et al., 1996; Super, 1970, 1973; White, 2005; Zytowski, 1970, 1994). Of these, the author chose Super’s (1970) WVI – Work Value Inventory. This method was chosen as it was reliable and has been used to study work values in hospitality industry earlier.

...Caring Moment - “The moment (focal point in space and time) when the nurse and another person come together in such a way that an occasion for human caring is created” In Jean Watson's theory of caring she has tried to make “explicit nursing's values, knowledge, and practices of human caring that are geared toward subjective inner healing processes and the life world of the experiencing person, requiring unique caring-healing arts and a framework called "carative factors," which complemented conventional medicine, but stood in stark contrast to "curative factors." At the same time, this emerging philosophy and theory of human caring sought to balance the cure orientation of medicine, giving nursing its unique disciplinary, scientific, and professional standing with itself and its public.” (Watson, 1999) Concepts: • Carative factors (evolving toward "Clinical Caritas Processes") • Transpersonal Caring Relationship • Caring Moment/Caring Occasion Jean Watson’s 10 carative factors that can be used as a guideline to help nursing interventions. These carative factors provide a framework that aids the nurse to pay attention to the caring processes. 1. Embrace altruistic values and practice loving kindness with self and others. 2. Instill faith and hope and honor others. 3. Be sensitive to self and others by nurturing individual beliefs and practices. 4. Develop helping – trusting- caring relationships. 5. Promote and accept positive and negative feelings as you authentically...

...nurse’s own actualization” (Cara, 2003, p 2). Watson believes it is crucial that nurses apply caring values to their practice because it is essentially a byproduct in discovering the meaning of the nursing profession (Theory of Human Caring, n.d.). The foundation of this paper is to expound on the caring theory Jean Watson designed “to bring meaning and focus to nursing as a distinct health profession” (Cara, 2003, p 2). Description of the Theorist In the 1940’s, Jean Watson was born in West Virginia in a small town in the Appalachian Mountains. In 1961, graduated from the Lewis Gale School of Nursing, furthering her career at the University of Colorado in Boulder in 1964, received a bachelor’s degree, in 1966 a Master’s degree in psychiatric and mental health nursing and in 1973, a Ph.D. in educational psychology and counseling. Throughout her professional career Watson has been the recipient of several awards and honors which include an International Kellogg Fellowship in...

...United States Students Lag in Math and Science United States high school seniors scored near or at the bottom of a multinational study of student performance in science and mathematics, according to results released on February 24, 1998. Final results from the Third International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS), said to be the most comprehensive ever, also showed that U.S. students' aptitude for mathematics and science declines as they get older. Conducted in 1995, TIMSS tested student abilities in general mathematics, general science, advanced mathematics, and physics. In general mathematics and general science the Netherlands and Sweden took top honors, while the United States ranked 19th and 16th, respectively, in a field of 21 nations. Top-level U.S. students fared even worse, finishing 15th out of 16 countries in advanced mathematics and placing 16th—dead last—in physics. France and Norway, respectively, finished first in those disciplines. Asian nations scored highest in earlier TIMSS studies of fourth and eighth graders, but chose not to participate in the high school study. United States Secretary of Education Richard Riley called the results “entirely unacceptable” and said they “confirm our need to raise our standards of achievement, testing, and teaching.” Students must be encouraged to “understand the importance of math and science,” Riley said. Only 25 percent of U.S. high school students take physics and only 10 percent take calculus, Riley said. Meanwhile...

The Department of Education controls the Philippine education system, including the curriculum used in schools and the allocation of funds. It also regulates the construction of schools and other educational facilities and the recruitment of teachers and staff. Educators As Guardians Of Standards Senator Mar Roxas I am very keen to be with you this morning as education has always been of outmost importance among my advocacies. In fact, what kept me and inspired me to continue being in public service was the passage into law of a bill I filed when I was a freshman congressman. Wala akong kaalam-alam sa pulitika. Kapapasok ko pa lang sa Kongreso bilang kinatawan ng Capiz. Napuna ko na ang mga kongresista ay pumipila doon sa DepEd para humingi ng classrooms para sa kanilang mga lalawigan. Tinatanong ko ang mga nakakatanda sa akin doon sa kongreso, “Bakit tayo pumipila?Bakit hindi ba pinamimigay lang iyan, edukasyon namn iyan?Bakit kailangan na magsipsip pa doon sa kinauukulang ahensya?” Ang sagot sa akin, “Bata ka pa Mar, hindi mo pa alam ito, idealist ka pero kailangan talaga dahil itong mga classrooms na ito pinamimigay ito batay sa pulitika, kung close ka, kaalyado ka, o karelihiyon ka ng mga nakaupo sa DepEd. “ Nagkamot ako ng ulo sabi ko, “ May lugar naman para sa pulitika.

The specific focus is upon Generation ‘X’ and the Millennium Generation which are the two primary groups comprising the new workforce. INTRODUCTION The generation that a person is born within has some impact upon that individual in terms of work styles, work values and self-image. The demographic profile of the workforce is undergoing quite a change insofar as the representation of generations and the result is that organizations are experiencing a necessity to make changes as well. The workforce will become increasingly more diverse in the future and this greatly affects the organization in its capacity of hiring and retaining employees. The literature reviewed within this study illustrates the fact that the expectations of employees differ within the generations...

...Professional Presence and Influence Cynthia Ellis March 1, 2015 Western Governors University In our practice, professional presence is the foundation on which we establish what it means to be human and to care for our fellow man. To be a nurse and choose the many sacrifices it takes to spend one’s life caring for others requires knowledge of one’s own personal beliefs and values. Our own past experiences with life and how they have shaped us also influence how we relate and treat our patients. These things work together to create our mindful presence. Throughout our years of practice, our experience with patients, coworkers and physicians as well as a growing knowledge base help us develop a road map which we follow in our everyday work. These things help us better understand others and what it truly means to be human. As we gain a better understanding for the very people we serve, we can better create a healing environment. Jean Watson, a nurse theorist, best defines a human as “a valued person in and of him or herself to be cared for, respected, nurtured, understood and assisted. He is to be viewed as greater than and different from the sum of his or her parts.” She then says that nursing is “a human science of persons and human health, illnesses, and experiences that are mediated by professional, personal, scientific, esthetic, and human transactions.” (Watson, 1999) Surely, with her definition of nurses, we are to be held to a very high standard as well as charged...
