...Walden Student Interest January 27, 2013 Walden University Understanding Higher Education The issues of student learning graduation have increased its importance tremendously throughout the years. Education has become very important in the world today amongst individuals for many reasons. Many people are trying to make better salaries, get promoted on the job, and become better aware in certain areas. In today’s world having a bachelor degree is like having a High School diploma and this has changed tremendously from the past. A bachelor’s degree before held very high standards years back and meant so much because there was not as many people perusing further education as they are now. Now many people are working on Master’s Degree immediately after their bachelor degree is received. This has up the scale for every student that currently holds a bachelor degree and allows them to possibly want Master and Doctorates. Now it is not uncommon for a student to get a doctorate at a much younger age than before because education plays such a big role currently. Student learning is more important because with the recession going on, it is more likely that a person with a college degree will get the job before a regular high school diploma. It is so hard to get a job just having a high school diploma and that makes individuals want to go to further their education to be able to get a decent job making decent money. Graduation is important because of there is no point...

...Differences of Associate Level RN and the Bachelor Level RN The formal education for nursing in the United States began shortly after the Civil War ended in 1872 with the first permanent nurse training school at the Women ‘s Hospital of Philadelphia. Early education followed the Nightingale model and has been evolving ever since. As the needs of patients have changed so has the need for educating nurses. Over the last decade multiple organizations including the Institute of Medicine and the American Organization of Nurse Executives have come to the conclusion that nurses with higher degree levels provide more thorough care. Research has shown that magnet hospitals with highly educated nurses not only have a lower mortality within the acute care setting but also thirty days post. A survey conducted in 2001 and published by the Journal of Nursing Administration reported that Bachelor trained nurses have better critical thinking, communication, and leadership skills. (Hahn, 2001) To better understand these facts we must appreciate the history and differences between the associate and diploma trained Registered Nurse and the bachelor trained Registered Nurse. The Committee for the Study of Nursing Education published the Goldmark Report in 1923 recommending that nursing education be moved from the hospital to the university and that nurse educators receive advanced education. It was found that the diploma based hospital programs gave higher priority to the needs of the...

...Educational Preparation Educational Preparation Introduction The debate that has been going on for decades and still continues with no end in sight is the difference between an associate degree in nursing versus the baccalaureate degree. Some questions that arise are what is the difference in schooling, training, bedside care, critical thinking and much more! Florence Nightingale is a very important figure in nursing who led women in 1854 to care for wounded soldiers. She made crucial observations on the spread of infection that has influenced the care of patients to this day. After the war, Nightingale pushed for education in the health care setting as well as in classrooms and she developed London's first school to train nurses in 1860. Within a few years the trend had spread to the United States and in 1867 Linda Richards was the first "trained" nurse in America. Since then education has developed and changed dramatically. Associate Degree Nurse Associate degrees in nursing are obtained from junior and community colleges. They generally take 2 to 3 years to complete. Originally the associate program was created in response to fill the large nursing shortage during World War II. "It was proposed as a temporary solution to a shortage but was not intended to replace the professional level of nursing education." (ADN or BSN, 2004) Those who graduated from the associate level were to work under the care of a professional nurse as a technical nurse. However, the associate...

...Dynamics Rhonda Moore April 3, 2016 Professor Hill Educational Preparation Throughout history nursing has been known as the act of caring or the sick, handicap and wounded. Nursing has developed into a profession over the last century, impart because of education. Nursing education has evolved from a trained nurse to a level of Doctorial Degree in Nursing. This paper will discuss the differences in competencies in two degrees in modern nursing the Associate Degree Nurse (ADN) and the Bachelor Degree Nurse (BSN) and how they relate to patient care situations. Differences in Competencies Associate Degree Nurse In 1942, World War II created a nursing shortage in American society. The Associate Degree program was established by Dr. Mildred Montag in 1943 at the Adelphi College of Nursing. Dr. Montag felt that a shorter education program for nurses would help with this nursing shortage. She never intended for this 2 year program to replace the nursing baccalaureate program (“Mildred Montag Envisions AD Nursing Education”, 2011). Montag’s idea of and Associate Degree Nurse (ADN) was to prepare technical skills in nursing for community hospitals and other patient care setting. AD nurses were eligible to take the RN licensure examination. She intended for these ADN’s to work under the baccalaureate level nurses in these facilities (Creasia, 2011). The ADN has graduated from a collegiate school. They have been seen as competent in technical skills in nursing for bedside...

...College of Education History The College of Education was opened in June 1926 at Intramuros, Manila during the rectorate of Very Rev. Fr. Manuel Arellano, O.P. to offer a four-year course leading to the degree of Bachelor of Science in Education (B.S.E.). A Laboratory High School was opened in 1928. The Normal School was established in 1940 as a two-year course leading to Elementary Teachers Certificate (E.T.C.). In June 1952, this Normal Course was changed into a four-year course leading to a degree of Bachelor of Science in Elementary Education (B.S.E.Ed). In 1941, another Laboratory School was made a part of the College of Education known as the Elementary Teacher Training Department. In 1953, a four-year program leading to the degree of Bachelor of Science in Home Economics (B.S.H.E.) was offered. A new major in Foods and Nutrition was added in 1955. The latter was changed to the course of Bachelor of Science in Foods and Nutrition (B.S.F.N.) in 1957. Early in 1969, there was a felt need to reorganize the Department of Home Economics to render its course more responsive to the needs of the country. Accordingly, in the school year 1970-1971, the Institution of Nutrition was first formed as an independent body from the College of Education under the Vice-Rector for Academic Affairs, and later as an adjunct of the College. Another important event in 1971 was merging of Normal School with the College of Education because of the rapidly decreasing College of Education enrolment...

...the field of nursing is that there are two paths you can take to becoming an RN, either an associate’s degree or a bachelor degree. In this paper I will explain the differences between nurses that have an ADN versus BSN degree. Differences include a difference in the curriculum, the abilities emphasized, and the patient outcomes. Another path the nursing student can take is to pursue a Bachelors’ degree. This degree requires 4 years of school including all of the basic classes as well as the nursing courses. The additional courses required above those included in the associate nursing degree are additional nursing management courses, nursing theory and more of an expansion on course work. The student must still take the same board exams in order to get their license. Although taking the same test at the end of schooling for both degrees, there is an additional emphasis on preparing the nurse to take a leadership role with the 4 year degree than with the 2 year degree. The next difference that is the skill level that each the ADN graduate and the BSN graduate possess. The article “Analysis of Differences in Entry-Level RN Practice by Educational Preparation” (JE Smith 2002) examined surveys of new graduates and their experiences in their healthcare setting and how well they think they reacted to it. The article states that differences in the ADN and BSN changed the outcomes only slightly. The teaching activity was 42nd on the ADN list and 41st on the BSN list,...

...The Associates Degree verse The Bachelor Of Science Degree LaKisha R.Woodmore Grand Canyon University: NRS-430 April 10,2016 Nursing is a profession where you can obtain an education and get hands on training at either a two-year college or four-year college. Each degree leads graduate nurses to sit for boards which is known as the NCLEX. When a graduate nurse has successfully pass the NCLEX then they are officially a Registered Nurse. The difference in nursing is the degree each nurse pursued while attending school. The longer you attend school the higher degree of nursing you will achieve. The biggest percentage of nurses today consist of the Associates Degree of Nursing (ADN) and The Bachelor of Science Degree of Nursing (BSN). According to the American Community Survey 37 percent of nurses obtained an Associate Degree while 44 percent of nurses obtain a Baccalaureate Degree (In Friberg & In Creasia, 2016 pg.28-29). The Associates Degree of Nursing (ADN) is a two-year program taught at several community colleges, as well as private institutes all over the U.S. The severity of the nursing shortage back after world war two had the world in desperate need of nurses. Mildred Montag, a nurse educator back in 1951 proposed a program to prepare nurse technicians with a two-year Associate Degree in Nursing (In Friberg & In Creasia,2016 pg.13). The program covers many nursing courses but it is not as exclusive in theory and research. After doing a study over...

...Jonelle Henrickson EDU 215 Professor Peter Hensley October 28, 2012 My Educational Philosophy- A Reflective Comparison “The aim of education should be to teach us rather how to think, than what to think- rather to improve our minds, so as to enable us to think for ourselves, than to load the memory with thoughts of other men.” –Bill Beattie Education is a journey and to teach is to be the guide. This is my educational philosophy in the most simplest of words. However, elaboration is needed in order to adequately and effectively explain the reaches and intricate views of this philosophy. In this dissertation, several philosophical views will be examined and compared to my own so that a full understanding can be achieved. We begin our educational voyage from the moment of birth and it lasts until we have expelled our last breath. It is the teachers, the guides, and the experiences in between those events that help to shape who we are and who we will become. Effective learning does not only cover one subject area or just one concept, but instead a series of subjects and concepts are interwoven to create the fabric of our knowledge. Teaching is a great responsibility and privilege in that each student is an asset to the classroom setting. Through use of integrated curriculum, collaboration with fellow faculty, hands on experiences, and relationship building with all parties involved on individual and group levels, each student and each class can realize success on their...

...interesting how the educational requirements for nurses have changed over the years. Just over a 150 years ago you didn’t even need a formal education to be a nurse, in fact, there was none to be had. Now professional nursing organizations are pushing for 80% of nurses to have a bachelor's degree by 2020 (Chard, 2013). This paper will discuss the difference in competencies between nurses prepared at the associate’s degree level versus the baccalaureate degree level. Using a clinical case scenario, it will also describe how nursing care and the approach to decision making may differ based on the educational preparedness of the nurse. Associate Degree Nursing An associates degree in nursing can be acquired in two years with about a years worth of prerequisites. As associate’s degree in nursing (ASN) prepares nurses to deliver direct patient care within the scope of their practise. It is a relatively quick way to become a nurse and was founded by Mildred Montage in 1956, due to the severity of nursing shortage in the post war years. This program was offered to reduce the nursing shortage and the success of the program was measured in terms of the satisfactory level of clinical nursing care and the graduates NCLEX pass rate (Friberg, 2011). An ASN lays the groundwork for nurses to continue their education while already working as a nurse. Due to the chronic shortage of nurses it is an effective way to get trained registered nurses in the shortest time possible. Baccalaureate Degree Nursing...

...While Carver was working on his masters degree, he also taught some botany classes and did experiment on plants with other industrial scientist. These experiments and classes helped Carver in later years. While Carver was working and experimenting he helped to change their agriculture department in Tuskegee. When Carver first arrived at the department it was just a simple little barn with some cows and chickens. Carver later changed the department into a laboratory and he got the name of the department changed to agricultural sciences. Carver received many honors during his lifetime and after his death. He is the subject of two commemorative postage stamps, issued in 1947 and 1998, and a special fifty cent coin in 1951. He is honored at a national monument in his hometown and at a museum at Tuskegee University in Alabama. Carver also is the subject of a 1938 feature film, a member of the Hall of Fame for Great Americans and a member of the National Inventors Hall of Fame.

...discuss the 2010 Institute of Medicine’s report on the impact of nursing education, nursing practice with a focus on primary care, how it will change current nursing practice and the nurse’s role as a leader. The Institute of Medicine (IOM) report was written to explore how the nursing profession should change to build a stronger health care system. A vision was developed to make quality care accessible to the diverse population of the United States, promote wellness and disease prevention, improve health outcomes and provide compassionate care across the lifespan (Institute of Medicine [IOM], 2011). Nurses must achieve higher levels of education and utilize this education and training to meet the challenges facing health care. An associate degree nurse is excellent; however a Bachelor of Science nurse (BSN) is encouraged. A BSN possesses a broader foundation of nursing including community health and leadership content. The link between lower mortality rates and educational level has also caused the BSN to be preferred. An all BSN workforce at the entry level would provide a more uniform foundation for the reconceptualized roles for nurses and new models of care that are envisioned (IOM). The ability for people to seek quality, affordable health care means nurses will be taking on new roles. The center of the health care system will be changed to primary care and prevention and will allow more advanced practice registered nurses (APRN) to take on the primary care role. Nurses...

...more viable, the Federal Government has cut funding to two year institutions as well as schools termed schools of proprietary education. Because of this failure to consider the entirety of the population that wants to attend college, the Federal Government has called chaos among in the Technical as well Proprietary education world. The lack of consideration of those who attended a four year institution has caused a very big part of the population to fail college or just not attend. The decision to cut funding has also trickled into Financial Aid Arena. Most students attending proprietary institutions of higher learning depend on Pell Grants and Federally Guaranteed Student Loans to pay for college. Since the decision to cut funding for the technical and proprietary college, the Federal Government is more critical and strict with the giving of Pell Grants and the Guaranteeing of Student Loans. This has caused a major dilemma in terms of the recruiting students to attend these types of institutions. The Admission Representatives can no longer use Financial Aid as a selling point. The lack of students, even greater the lack of students, who can pay, has caused a downward shift on the income statement of these institutions. Given that the proprietary institution serves a portion of the populace not otherwise serviced by the four year state college, and does this for a profit lends itself to a failing venture. This failure of consideration has caused the Cromwell Institute to...

...Enviroment Management We know that the most important thing we can do to reduce our impact on the environment is to improve our products’ environmental performance. That’s why we design them to use less material, ship with smaller packaging, be free of many toxic substances, and be as energy efficient and recyclable as possible. So as we continue to grow faster than the rest of the industry, we’re doing it with products that are friendlier to the environment than ever, and we remain committed to creating products that have the least amount of impact on the environment. Though our revenue has grown, our greenhouse gas emissions per dollar of revenue have decreased by 21.5 percent since 2008. And we’re still the only company in our industry whose entire product line not only meets but exceeds the strict energy guidelines of the ENERGY STAR specification. Environmentally conscious materials. In addition to eliminating toxins and designing products with highly recyclable aluminum enclosures, Apple works with environmentally conscious materials including recycled plastics, recycled paper, biopolymers, and vegetable-based inks. We have also found ways to reengineer secondary materials to the high standard of our designs. For example, our fan assemblies in Mac Pro use advanced materials derived from repolymerized plastic bottles. Speaker assemblies and internal brackets in the Apple Thunderbolt Display are made from recycled PC-ABS. In 2012, our latest achievements included the...
