Safer patient outcomes and reduction in patient mortality and secondary insults of illness has decreased with an increase of staffing Baccalaureate Degree in Nursing (BSN) nurses over a staff consisting mainly of Associate’s Degree in Nursing (ADN) nurses. This paper focuses on the educational differences and competencies between nurses with an ADN and BSN respectively and the experience and skill sets that form the clinical decisions made by these nurses and how their decisions affect patient care and outcome. Mildred Montage was a nurse educator in the 1950’s and was the leading advocate and creator of the ADN in reaction to the stark shortage of nurses in the years preceding World War II (Creasia & Friberg, 2011, p.14-15). This degree was designed to decrease the shortage of nurses and the adequate level of clinical nursing skills and successful pass rate of graduates on the National Council Licensure Examination (NCLEX) were all taken into accountability for measuring the success of the ADN programs. An associate degree nurse is defined as a nurse attending a community college, up to three years but no less than two years, with training in clinical skills. A nurse graduating...

...the long term results and value of completing a higher education will be beneficial for the time and effort spent. Each class in the short term will eventually incorporate the smaller details and disciplines to aid in the long term goal of a higher degree. I will have doors open which previously were not available because of the lack of a higher education. Opportunities not enjoyed prior will be multiple and open to be scrutinized by me and my achievement of a higher education. Salary, positions, and of course the ability to advance in the business arena are there for the taking. The tools and assessments which I have acquired in the course will benefit me greatly as I will now be able to use the knowledge in practical application. The tools which I feel will be especially helpful is fundamental writing techniques and methods. Prior to this class my knowledge of how to properly structure sentences using proper grammar and structure of sentences and paragraphs were limited and antiquated. The practice in the My Foundations Lab especially helped me realize the importance of the fundamentals in writing. The online learning experience has and is a benefit for me growing as a student and learning to study with others. This collaborative environment is interesting and helps me with the continued interaction with others sharing the same goal.

...the workforce, get married and have children, and all before their mid twenties. Now there is a new grace period, called “emerging adulthood”. This period of time, between the ages of eighteen and twenty-nine, has become a time where young men and women are expected to search for their own identities, continue their education, find a suitable career, then settle down into a married life and have children of their own if they so choose. There is still a wide variety in difference in expectations in America, especially when considering the social, ethnical and financial background that these young individuals come from. Children from more affluent families are likely to go to a college or university right after high school, where as children from less financially stable backgrounds are likely to join the military in order to afford schooling, or head straight into manual labor type jobs, in hopes of going to college later on. Argentina, much like America, is a western industrialized culture that shares a lot of commonalities with its expectations of emerging adults, though there are several cultural differences. Americans tend to place more importance on their peers and social status than their families, whereas Argentineans are the complete opposite. As with most Hispanic and Latin cultures,...

...Education: Its Importance in a Modern World By: Aaron Ignacio Education: Its Importance in a Modern World By: Aaron Ignacio What is education? Why do we need it in our lives? Education is the path towards knowledge. Our quest for knowledge is something we should never complete; it is a desire that we should never resist. Education empowers us to answer such questions as how and why and gives us the power to start over again. With an advanced education, individuals have more choices in life and more chances to make a difference for their communities. Higher education pays you back: graduates of higher education programs earn more, have more leisure time, and live happier and healthier lives. Education has been said to help a person lead a successful life. Success is defined as the achievement of something desired or attempted. By means of an education, a person learns many things, which he or she uses later on in life particularly in a career. The more education a person has, the greater the chances that person will have a higher paying job. With that, their family will be well supported and hopefully happier. Secondly, an education can help society develop into a better place. There are a number of people who are illiterate or have low literacy skills. This accounts for a majority of the impoverished and undeveloped people. With an education, these people could get a job and make money. The money earned could help pay for food or a place to live. As a result, there would...

...IDEALISM IN EDUCATION 01. INTRODUCTION Idealism is the oldest theory of philosophy. Its origin goes back to ancient India in the East and to Plato in the West. Generally, Idealists believe that ideas are the true reality. According to them, the human spirit is the most important element in life. Matter is not real. It attaches great significance to the study of man and his mind. It maintains that the material and physical universe is subordinate to a higher type of reality, a spiritual universe. CHIEF EXPONENTS OF IDEALISM (I) (ii) (iii) (iv) (v) (vi) (vii) (viii) The Videc Rishis of India Plato – (427-347 B.C) Kant (1724- 1804 A.D) Hegal (1770-1831 A.D) Froebel (1772 – 1852 A.D) Swami Dyananda (1825 – 1883 A.D) R.N. Tagore (1861-1941 A.D) Aurobindo Ghosh (1872 – 1950 A.D) 02. MEANING OF IDEALISM The word „Idealism‟ signifies two terms: „Idea‟ and „ideal‟. In other words Idealism is born out of Plato‟s “Theory of Ideas”. According to this doctrine, the ultimate supremacy is of ideas. In this way, the real word is „ideaism‟, but adding the letter „I‟ for pronunciation facility it is known as idealism. 03. DEFINITION OF IDEALISM (i) (ii) Views of D.M. Dutta: “Idealism holds that ultimate reality is spiritual”. Views of J.S. Ross: “Mind or spirit is the essential world stuff that the true reality is of a mental character”. (iii) Harold B. Titus: “Idealism asserts that reality consists of ideas, thoughts, minds, or selves rather than material objects and force”. (iv) R.N. Tagore:...

...Introduction Why do students choose to study overseas? Demand for education, particularly higher education, has traditionally been driven by expectations of its ability to raise the economic and social status of the graduate. For people in less developed countries, limited access to education in their own countries led to a significant rise in the number of international students studying overseas. Between 1960 and 1970, the average growth in international student flows was around 9 per cent, and continued at about 6 per cent from 1970 to 1980 (Hughes, 1988). While there is some evidence of a slowing in the overall flow of international students during the 1980s and 1990s (Kemp, 1995), a global industry has been created. The global pattern of international student flows may be explained by a combination of ``push and pull'' factors that encourage students to study overseas. ``Push'' factors operate within the source country and initiate a student's decision to undertake international study. ``Pull'' factors operate within a host country to make that country relatively attractive to international students. Some of these factors are inherent in the source country, some in the host country and others in the students themselves. Abstract Examines the factors motivating international student choice of the host country. It describes a ``pushpull'' model motivating the student's desire to seek overseas education and influencing the decision process in selection of a final study...
