...the wall where the occasional stray syringe cap is lazily tucked in between it. Feet are throbbing; stomach is rumbling, long day, clocked in at four this morning, just want to sleep forever. Following this plastic trimming, the hall seems endless, does it turn left or right, maybe a dead end—you could rarely ever tell if it weren’t for the directional signs. I think this is the room; the girl with the plush stuffed toy bear they said. The wall itself is also white, neutral, seldom decorated with anything other than policies and inspirational posters which are not really meant to look at, more for comfort really. Besides, you could hardly ever see the posters as the halls are constantly filled with running feet. There are lights everywhere, on the ceiling, on the floor, on the walls, above every room, however the hall is surprisingly dim, making it difficult to read patient numbers on doors. Found it, the room with the girl with the plush stuffed toy bear. Finally get to sit. A firm cheap sofa chair that isn’t meant for long term visits—mostly only for show and requirement—but feet are throbbing, body is tired, wishing the pain down both legs couldn’t be felt, so the discomfort of the chair is actually comfortable. Looking out of the room into the hall, everything is rushing by seen only for a second and no longer; a crash cart flashes by, blurred faces, a haze of multiple color-coded staff, the occasional gleam of something metallic. The nurse’s station,...

...As I am on my way to visit my Uncle Ken at his new residence, Kimwell Nursing Home, I can’t help but think of all the great memories I have of him. We would spend every Easter with him & my Aunt Mabel at their house, and my 2 sisters and I took a nice picture with Uncle Ken every year. He was always a very happy, lively man who loved to joke around with us kids.Unfortunately my aunt passed away & my uncle was now lonely. I tried my best along with the rest of my family to take care of him at home, but as he got older,now 96, it became obvious that he needed more than what we could give him. Now, I am gong to visit him in this place that isn’t his home & definitely doesn’t feel like home. As I walk towards the building I always get on overwhelming feeling of sadness. I hate that my uncle has to be in here & that he has lost all that happiness he once had inside of him. I can’t even imagine how it feels to have to sell almost everything you ever owned & move into a strange place, with strange faces everywhere. I always think he feels like we just gave up on him, but that couldn’t be further from the truth. He needed the help that only a skilled facility could provide. I finally get into the building & as soon as I enter there is a man sitting at a little desk, with a big book in front of him. That big book is where we have to “sign in” with our name, who we are there to visit, & the time we are entering. It makes this place feel more like a jail than anything else. It definitely...

...will only last until poorly train guards choose to use their guns without full comprehension of the extends of their actions. There have been many incidents involving police and armed guards doing exactly that, many lives have been lost to these incidents. “A sheriff’s deputy was at Columbine High School during the shooting, fired his weapon early, missed four times, and the total number of victims rose to 13”(Source C). The armed guards are there to protect not to add to the number of casualties. An armed guard in the hallway might give some a sense of protection to some. However most would say a student wouldn't feel safe with armed men patrolling the halls. Schools are where student go to learn, and to some students, school is their safe place. How can you feel safe when you know there are people with guns roaming the halls just waiting for something to happen? This will slowly affect kids to be afraid of what to expect when they go out in the world. Chances of another school massacre happening are very slim, and when it does happen, the guards and qualified staff are useless. The last time a school massacre as big as the Sandy Hook shooting with Adam Lanza happened was at Bath Consolidated School in Michigan in 1927. When “a...

...101R Corey Hall 9/21/11 Jordan and I were playing hide and seek. He was seeking and I was hiding under my aunt's bed. I could hear my aunt calling for Jordan to come into the kitchen, so I followed him. Peeking around the corner, I could see a short, slim black women sitting in a chair at the kitchen table. When Jordan entered the kitchen she motioned for him to take a seat in the chair across from her. I could hear her asking him questions about his mom and things that had happened to him. They talked for about thirty minutes the she and my aunt exchanged words in private. Then my aunt turned to tell Jordan to get his belongings because he was going with the lady in the kitchen. I had a funny feeling the entire time the lady was talking to my cousin. I could tell something wasn’t right, because we never really have company and when we do they always tell us kids to go play. Today was different and I was scared of what would happen. As Jordan started to pack his things I started to cry. At the time I didn’t know why I was crying but it felt nesseccary. Once Jordan finished packing we took what seemed like the longest walk ever down the hall back to the kitchen where the lady was waiting to take my cousin away. "Ready to go?" Jordan didn’t respond he just turned around hugged me and said goodbye. I watched out of...

...felt like it was miles away. The sun beamed on us as if it was watching us. Suddenly In a blink of an eye the sun disappeared and it poured down with rain, we saw a massive deserted house in front of us. As we headed towards the tree lined path, the tree’s towered over us as we walked towards the house. The house glared at us, I had unwanted feeling as if the house wanted us to retreat. But I ignored the signs and continued. As we got to the porch we saw a timeworn door. We pushed the door and it creaked open, the big rusty hinges holding onto it for dear life. The cold breeze punched my face. We found ourselves in the hallway. All the furniture was covered in white sheets. The floor had a massive old red dirty carpet spread across the hall like butter. The wallpaper was hanging off the walls; revealing long jagged cracks. Glancing up my eyes were drawn to the huge gilt edged chandelier that was hanging precariously from the ceiling. it was the only thing that made the house look better. Without warning I heard the floor boards creak upstairs, the hair prickled up my neck like a cat with a scare. I had a feel we weren’t alone in the house. My heart was beating faster than a cheetah. I felt in an awkward position as I couldn’t go outside and I didn’t want to be inside. There was a weird smell. It smelt like the house was rotting. The house was damp and mouldy, it was slowly deteriorating. We both headed for the kitchen then in a flash we fell through the floorboards and...

...Week 1, Control Jar: For the first week, the jars were filled with dirt, water, a dead stick, and a dead leaf. Once everything was inside the jars, you could barely see through it. The dirt was floating all round in the water, and the algae floated at the top and sat near the middle. Although it was hard to see, their was a small tadpole like organism that was moving fast around the edge of the jar. Week 2, Control Jar : The jar had settled down quite a lot over the course of one week. The jar was almost clear, and things behind the jar were some what visible. The mud settled to the bottom, but water could be seen in between layers of mud still. Since the mud had settled towards the bottom, the stick was more visible than before. Also, the algae had changed, it was all sitting towards the top, with only a few sitting towards the bottom. The ones towards the bottom seemed to have started to turn a brownish-black color. Still, there was visible organisms moving around in the jar. Once under the microscope, many more organisms were visible. The surface of the jar had no organisms, even after testing water, and some algae. In the middle of the jar tiny fast moving dots could be seen called colpidium. Also, a swordfish looking organisms moved across for a split second and is known as peranema. At the bottom layer, many organisms could b e seen. More colpidium could be seen, also a large slow moving spikey ball. The spiky ball is known as volvox. A long skinny...

...lightly when it comes to your education and/or work ethics. Indianapolis Stars, Steve Hall learned this after losing his career as one of the papers top critics. Intentional or unintentional, plagiarism has its major consequences and could be avoided by crediting those who deserved to be credited. Is It Worth It? : The Effects of Plagiarism After working for 13 years as one of Indianapolis Monthly’s top television critics, Steve Hall was fired after being accused of plagiarism. According to Bettie Cadou’s article, Words Fail Me (2000), “Hall took his first hit when his supervisors decided his review of the UPN wrestling program closely resembled an article by Dallas Morning News TV critic Ed Bank. Then came the final blow, when an analysis of Hall’s previous stories found another half-dozen pieces, dating to 1997, that were deemed too similar to other writers’ works.” Even though Hall at first claimed it wasn’t intentional, the hirer ups felt that too many of his articles sounded too much alike and they made the decision to release him from his duties. In the article, You Can Say That Again (2000), also written by Cadou, she gives a number of examples of Hall’s work compared to some articles in Times Magazine; “Times: The show is smart and often funny… Mr. Kilborn delivers this material with the requisite smirks and deadpan charm … he is blond and boyish and perhaps innocent looking … Hall: The show is smart, funny show draws deadpan, ironic punch lines from headlines …...

When he finally removes the hat, his entire head is swathed in a bandage. Mrs. Hall thinks he has endured some accident. She tries to get him to talk about himself, but he is taciturn with her, although not particularly rude. CHAPTER 2. Mr. Teddy Henfrey’s First Impressions Summary Teddy Henfrey, a clock repairman, comes to the inn for tea. Mrs. Hall asks him to “repair the clock” in the stranger’s room. Teddy deliberately takes as long as he can with the clock, taking it apart and reassembling it for no reason. The stranger finally gets him to hurry up and leave. Offended, Teddy talks himself into believing that the stranger is someone of a suspicious nature, perhaps even wanted by the police and is wrapped up to conceal his identity. Teddy runs into Mr. Hall and warns him about the stranger, informing him that a “lot of luggage” will be coming. It would seem that the stranger intends to stay awhile. Mr. Hall goes home intending to investigate the stranger, but is put off by the short-tempered demeanor of his wife. CHAPTER 3.

...positivity is running high and so is the excitement. People are passing, the smack of a soccer ball meeting a foot every few seconds fills the air. The concession stand opens up its shutters and the smell of popcorn radiates out, and it is a buttery and salty initiative to earn that popcorn for after the game. Then all of a sudden one song breaks the air and Kirty knows what time it is. The song “Hall of Fame” rings out through the stadium and that is when she defends shots from her team to get ready. Kirty feels so pumped up and powerful when she has that song ringing through her ears and it gets her ready for the game ahead.

Excitement is hidden and it is all gametime now the “Hall of Famer” is now ready to lead her team into battle.

...EXECUTIVE SUMMARY PURPOSE The purpose of this report is to assess the compliance of Nightingale Community Hospital (NCH) in accordance with the Joint Commission’s National Patient Safety Goals for 2012. This report will focus exclusively on the Priority Focus Area of Communication and its subsequent standards: * UP.01.01.01 – Conduct a preprocedure verification process. * UP.01.02.01 – Mark the procedure site. * UP.01.03.01 – A time-out is performed before the procedure. BACKGROUND NCH is 13 months away from its next Joint Commission audit. It is imperative that NCH is in complete compliance with the Joint Commission. METHODOLOGY In order to determine the degree of compliance with the aforementioned standards, the following NCH documents were cross-referenced: * Preprocdure Hand-Off >cross-referenced with standard UP.01.01.01 * Site Identification and Verification >cross-referenced with standard UP.01.02.01 * Site Identification and Verification, subheading Time-Out Procedure >cross-referenced with standard UP.01.03.01 FINDINGS Standard UP.01.01.01. NCH is not in compliance with standard UP.01.01.01. The first element of performance of this standard requires NCH to conduct a preprocedure verification process. Although NCH currently has a Preprocedure Hand-Off form that highlights the process, it could be improved by the inclusion of more precise language. Three recommendations are suggested for this improvement: (a) procedure...

...How do you correct your student’s grammar mistakes? Instructors often lament the sloppiness of their students’ writing. Grammatical problems abound in college student writing, and when student papers are filled with errors, many teachers feel obligated to correct every sentence-level error they see. While marking each error can be an extremely time-consuming task, it is always the hope that students will read these comments and learn from the corrections. Is this really what happens? Is the time well spent? Unfortunately correcting errors for students will probably not help them learn to correct errors themselves. Only the most conscientious students will pour over your comments and reach for their grammar handbooks for additional information. Rather, in cases where every error is marked and corrected, the student will likely believe that the instructor has done all the work, and that little revision is necessary beyond that indicated by the corrections. If students are not given a chance to revise work, chances are good that they will not attend to your comments at all. Another downfall to correcting every spelling, punctuation, grammar, and capitalization error in a student paper is that it can end up taking the focus of your comments off the content and organization of the piece. Even if you are careful to attend to both mechanics and content, it is important to keep in mind that students can be easily overwhelmed...
