...A1: Sentinel Event Describe the Sentinel Event On September 14 at 12:30pm, pediatric patient Tina was involved in what was thought to be a child abduction. After arriving at the hospital that morning, Tina’s mother checked Tina in with the registrar. The registrar collected Tina’s demographics and insurance information and entered it into the medical records. She made copies of ID’s and insurance cards and had Tina’s mother sign all necessary paperwork for Tina’s surgery. The registrar did not ask for any information regarding the custody of Tina because it was not a part of her job duties. Once admitted, the Pre-op nurse greeted Tina and her mother. The Pre-op nurse had Tina’s mother sign all consent forms for the surgery. She then helped Tina get gowned up and began the pre-op assessment on Tina, started her IV and administered her pre-op medications. According to the Pre-op nurse, Tina’s mother did inform her that she’d be doing something with her son during Tina’s surgery. Tina’s mother gave the Pre-op nurse her name and number, which the Pre-op nurse wrote down in her notepad, so she could be called when the surgery was done. The OR Nurse had very strong feelings on the lack of communication between departments. She said that she has witnessed many issues and seen many problems arise due to a lack of communication and understanding across departments. She strongly believes that working more closely with security would eliminate some of this issues in the future. Following...

...structure and my father’s position in our home could be likened to that of a manager while my mother occupied the position of co-manager and I and my siblings were the staff members. Everyone in my family had a say in the way in the family was run. I was the last child in the family however I was not less significant than my older siblings. We were all involved in making small and big decisions in the family. I recall one time my father had a job offer that was going to take him away from the state where we lived and he sought the opinion of everyone before relocating the whole family. I was 12 at the time of the move and my father was concerned about how we would cope in a new environment. On the contrary, we were all excited to move from the state where we had lived all the years because we wanted to move to a big city anyway. Collaboration between staff co-chairs and the area manager; there was great collaboration between my parents. I and my siblings watched them work hand in hand and carry us along. They were both highly educated, my father was an electrical engineer and my mother was a nurse but they knew when to step down for each other. I recall after the move, my mother volunteered to stay home for a few months while she decorated our new home and took care of other important family matters that arose with the move. In the same token, at one point my father had to work remotely because my mother had a training oversees that took her away for about 6 months. During this...

...Interview Project My person of choice to interview for this project was my mother. She has personally in business for well over 15 years. She is talented and knows what she is doing through and through, and has helped lead her team to the top many times. My mother Jill works as an area manager for SunTrust in the Charlotte area. I decided to pick her, not only to have someone to interview, but also to get to know her on a more personal level and to see personally how she truly feels about what she does. I set up the interview via email. It becomes difficult trying to get together and be able to sit down and personally conduct the interview when she is out and about working. I attempt to visit as often as I can, but there are some nights that she doesn’t get home until really late. She was welcome and willing to do it, and her answers gave me more of an insight of what she really does. Here are the following questions, as well as answers. 1.) a. How do you measure success? In many ways… as a leader I measure success by how well my team achieves various key measures. My personal success is when my team is considered successful by others. b. Where does that measurement stand now? Currently we are exceeding key metrics and a majority of the 18 branches I lead are at or above target for the 4th quarter. c. What actions are you taking to change the measurement(s) (in the right direction)? My goal is to have all branches achieve their goals so for those that are not at...

The women sounded so annoyed that William got frightened and was about to hang up. He finally manned up, and answered back with his kind and gentle voice “Hello, my name is William, and I stumbled over you website today, and saw you have a job offer” The women did not sound very enthusiastic, but she said that William could get an interview later this afternoon. William was speechless; he got so excited while trying to text his best friend Alex that he almost dropped his mobile. Eventually he got his nerves back on track, and texted Alex, saying that he had an interview later this afternoon. Few moments after William got a message back from Alex, saying he should go for it. William was thrilled and anxious at the same time while he was waiting. Finally the manager came out of his office, and asked William to step inside. The manager showed William around while he was asking William questions. The manager explained the daily routine of an employee at McDonald and how everything worked. They talked for quite a while, but eventually the manager asked his last question “Why do you think, you are qualified for this job?” “I have been working at our local co-op, and I love meeting new people everyday” William responded with calmness and buoyancy in his voice. The manager was convinced and William got the job. William was pleased. He wanted to...

...One morning, as Gregor Samsa was waking up from anxious dreams, he discovered that in his bed he had been changed into a monstrous verminous bug. He lay on his armour-hard back and saw, as he lifted his head up a little, his brown, arched abdomen divided up into rigid bow-like sections. From this height the blanket, just about ready to slide off completely, could hardly stay in place. His numerous legs, pitifully thin in comparison to the rest of his circumference, flickered helplessly before his eyes. “What’s happened to me,” he thought. It was no dream. His room, a proper room for a human being, only somewhat too small, lay quietly between the four well-known walls. Above the table, on which an unpacked collection of sample cloth goods was spread out—Samsa was a travelling salesman—hung the picture which he had cut out of an illustrated magazine a little while ago and set in a pretty gilt frame. It was a picture of a woman with a fur hat and a fur boa. She sat erect there, lifting up in the direction of the viewer a solid fur muff into which her entire forearm had disappeared. Gregor’s glance then turned to the window. The dreary weather—the rain drops were falling audibly down on the metal window ledge—made him quite melancholy. “Why don’t I keep sleeping for a little while longer and forget all this foolishness,” he thought. But this was entirely impractical, for he was used to sleeping on his right side, but in his present state he could not get himself into this position...

...your corrupt manager Mario Rocha. I know you have received many a complaints (And if you haven't this email should explain why) about him but I would like to add my perspective and experiences with your manager. I have lived in your wonderful park since I was 10 years old, I am currently 21. It is my sadness to say that Mario Rocha has had an affair with my mother for seven years. Why am I sharing personal matters with you, you may ask? Well, it is because of that affair that I know all the corrupt things that Mario Rocha has done all of which include using the money you give him for park expenses (not personal expenses) for personal reasons. I have triple read the park regulations and have come to understand that that ALL tenants must obey the rules of the park as written. Is Mario Rocha not a tenant as well? and even if there was flexibility for him (since he is park manager) should he not enforce these rules upon everyone in the park? He doesn't. Mario Rocha also leaves the park for long periods of time and returns when ever he desires. No, I am not saying that he is a surf or nothing of the sort but he does need to inform you and have a substitute to enforce the rules. Mario Rocha is flexible to people in his circle ass well and I do not see this to be very fair. My mother and Mario Rocha have gone their separate ways and ever since he has been attacking my mother with rules that he does not enforce on others. One thing that concerns my mother is the tarp on...

...Sammy and I both have a sarcastic, pessimistic attitude. This can be seen when Sammy says that Stokesie will become manager " some sunny day, maybe 1990 when it's called the Great Alexandrov and Petrooshki Tea Company or something" (Updike, 2). Also, I would have also quit my job like Sammy did. I realize that between beauty and order that I would also want to have beauty. In a broad connection, Beatrice connects to this story. She in, Much ado About Nothing, goes against the norms of the culture. She back talks men and has a bit of arrogance to her, when most women would be quite and very humble. The only questions about the story I have, is what does Sammy's Mom and Dad say when he tells him he quits? It would provide context to how Sammy defies society because it shows that he goes against what normal people would...

...DR. HAROLD RAY GRIFFIN HEALTH CARE POLICY, LAW AND ETHICS-HSA515002VA016-1114-001 In this paper, the writer is taking on the role of manager of a cancer center in a small, suburban hospital. The manager is dealing with a lot: The nursing staff has expressed burnout because of an increase of terminal cancer patients. In one extreme case, Nurse Nancy, feeling empathy for a rapid decline in one of the patient’s health (a 30-year-old single mother), wants to give an extra dose of narcotic that could potentially end the patient’s life – and what Nurse Nancy perceives as her suffering. Needless to say, concepts including end-of-life rights, death with dignity and right to life apply to this particular case. In examining this particular case, we’ll find that the nurse is trying to act with the purest of motives. However, what she is doing could skirt ethical decision-making, while being blatantly against the law. Additionally, it could provide a negative view of the cancer center. Though many people might support the idea of dying with dignity, others might take a dim view of a nurse who, in her zeal to prevent a patient’s suffering, would deprive children of their mother. Patient Bill of Rights The Patient Bill of Rights, sponsored by Senators John McCain, John Edwards and Ted Kennedy (S.1052), guarantees patients the right to access to health care specialists when necessary and requires continuity of care protections to patients so they don’t have to change health care providers...
