...Professional Knowledge and Abilities Paper Daniel Campbell GEN 200 4/25/2011 Lisa Tavitas Professional Knowledge and Abilities Paper Upon graduation from college, most people obtain employment in their field of study. Obtaining a college education gives a person the basic skills necessary to find entry-level work in his or her chosen profession. Through membership of a professional organization or association, a person can further his or her professional knowledge and abilities, which will make his or her career a more successful one. In this paper the subject to identify and discuss, is how one professional association contributes to one’s professional knowledge and abilities and how such knowledge and abilities affect success. The Webster’s New Pocket Dictionary defines profession as “an occupation that requires training and specialized study.” A method in which one receives such training and specialized study, is through a membership in a professional organization or association. “Traditionally, professionalism has been related to the ways in which professional communities manage a certain field of knowledge by, for example, controlling access to work and monitoring standards and requirements in educational programs” (Karseth, Nerland, 2007, p. 335). One particular professional association who manages their field of knowledge is the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM). The ACM is one of the world’s largest professional...

...police departments, fire departments, medical departments, and utility agencies. I oversee the entire equipment design aspect of the wireless systems which include routers, switches, base radio equipment, microwave dishes, antennas, towers, modems, and connectors and cabling along with a long list of miscellaneous equipment. Because I work with mission critical agencies, it is critical to ensure all communication information is kept secure from hackers. Also, since we contract companies to build 300’ to 1000’ towers we have to make sure we get proper airspace clearance. I work with several professional agencies to ensure we have the correct rights to build towers and transmit frequencies. Some of those agencies are the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA), the Association of Public-Safety Communications Officials-International (APCO), the National Communications System (NCS), the National Security Agency (NSA), and the Department of Defense (DoD) among others. These agencies help to ensure that there is a high level of standards for communication for the servicemen and women who need secure means of communicating. The FAA regulates our wireless airspace. We have to get approval on tower heights and antenna placement to ensure we do not interfere with competing signals and airplane flight patterns. The FAA also regulates how close we can build towers in the...

...To me accountability is being liable for my actions and responsibility is how I proceed from those actions. As I write this, my minds brings me back to the night I was taken care of 18 year old. I was working on the step down section of the neurology unit. This patient was admitted because of a drug overdose, which left the patient in state like she had a stroke. I remember going to assess her at the beginning of my shift ( 12 hour night) and as I was conducting a neurological assessment, the patient was taking to me or responding to my presence. Which the off going nurse had said in report that the patient wasn’t responding to anyone’s presence. When I assessed her pupils, they were both dialed and not responding to my pen light. Just to double check I gave it another minute and assess her eyes again. So before I did anything else, I notified the on call physician and explained my findings. The physician came to her assess the patient. While assessing the patient the physician said, my report from the previous doctor said that she was showing more response than she is now. When the physician assess her pupils and noted what I had seen, the physician ordered a stat CT scan. Which there was a CT machine located on the unit. So I and the doctor wheeled the patient to the CT suite, where we met the on call radiology tech. As a result, the CT scan showed that the patient had a bleed in her brain. That patient was then transferred to the Neuro ICU department, which was just step...

...Professional knowledge refers to the set of fundamental principles, requirements, and behavioral rules, which, combined with the necessary skills, abilities, a high level of training and experience will determine an individual’s capability to accomplish certain professional tasks and her competency to practice a certain profession. Any particular profession has its unique knowledge base that distinguishes it from other professions. The purpose of all these professional education and training requirements, associated with the necessary skill set, is to ensure that the profession practitioner will provide the highest quality of work, done properly and safely. In other words, the knowledge base has a fundamental importance for any profession and the development of professional knowledge and abilities has a crucial importance for both personal and professional success. A reason the professional knowledge is very important for an individual, is that it can be the key that opens the door toward a new career. This is one way the knowledge can affect someone’s professional success in a positive manner. For numerous positions on the job-market, a certain level of professional education, combined with a basic set of skills, is the minimum requirement for an entry-level position. This is the best opportunity for the person who occupies that position to increase both her skills and professional knowledge while working as a beginner in that professional field and also to be paid.

...Using the Association of Information Technology Professionals to support my education and beyond November 29, 2010 Using the Association of Information Technology Professionals to support my education and beyond Pursuing an education with the goal of achieving more rewarding employment opportunities can seem daunting, especially when the avenues after achieving the degree can be vast without a map to help guide someone along the industry waters. Professional organizations routinely establish chapters for certain fields that guide individuals to greater opportunities. In the information technology field, the Association of Information Technology Professionals (AITP) operates to assist students or employed professionals who want to continue, enhance and expand their knowledge.
