...A comparison among the nurse manager, administrator, and executive roles; reveals that there are several common skills and competencies required in practice for all three roles. Proficiency in areas such as business, budgeting, human resources, and finances are all imperative in exercising any one of these roles. (Greenwood, 2015). Likewise, the American Organization of Nurse Executives (2011) puts forth a list of five competency domains which are applicable for nurses in leadership and management positions across the board. (p. 3). Furthermore, the credentialing and certification process currently in place for nursing leaders and managers does not differentiate between a nurse manager and administrator; instead, it is defined as being a certification for Nurse Executives. (American Nurses Credentialing Center [ANCC], 2015). However, it is important to highlight the fact that the ANCC does offer two level of certifications: The Nurse Executive (NE-BC) and Nurse Executive Advanced (NEA-BC) which differ from one-another primarily in the eligibility criteria for certification. Despite some common ground, there are significant differences that are inherent for each role in practice. The divergence among the roles primarily resides in the specific position that the leader may hold within any organization. Some of...

...The Role of Leadership in Advancing Student Learning Marzano (2003), shared three principles of effective leadership for change. He uses research and his experiences in schools across the country to form the principles and descriptions. Using research wisely, and not ignoring it can lead to the best of times in education. The three principles are formed from an overview of characteristics associated with effective leaders as well as their behaviors. Principle 1. Leadership for change is most effective when carried out by a small group of educators with the principal functioning as a strong cohesive force. Principal plus a strong leadership team operate as key players and working with a dedicated group of classroom teachers because teachers must be involved in day-to-day decisions that affect their day-to-day lives (Marzano, R. J., 2003). For example in creating a guaranteed and viable curriculum, it is important that the principal assumes the role of visible head of this reform effort with the ability to mentor and guide direction for a leadership team and all teachers. Time is a factor that yields success when information is shared in a routine and timely manner. Even though obstacles may arise, the principal can offer adequate information in time for planning the curriculum teachers are responsible for, such as assessments and activities for higher order thinking from students. Effective leadership is present when teachers know the principal is time conscious of...

...Leadership Styles and School Effectiveness Labels: Change Management Research Proposals, Leadership Research Proposals, Strategic Management Research Proposals, Travel Research Proposals Introduction The human mind is like a mine bestowed with billions of innovative seeds, and every one of those seeds can grow a fruitful tree of new inventions. At home, the education of a newly born child starts from the lap of a mother, for whom it is an obligatory privilege to look after her child. Education starting in the dark-age has been transformed as it has passed from mind to mind and race to race, based on spiritually traditional ways of learning, observations, and experiences. The acquisition of knowledge began with the informal learning process at home to formal learning in institutions or schools. In this way, knowledge was progressively traveling down different paths and in different ways through human minds. In recent years, the advent of new technologies from photocopying machines to computer programs, optical scanners, and telecommunication networks has contributed to knowledge transformation. Moreover, today, the dominance of digital technologies and distorted media information has set the stage for the human mind to be idle. It can be thought that the idleness of mind is not due to insufficient or a lack of information and ideas for knowledge development but rather the inevitability of creating multiple choices and overloading us with information. Here, the ramifications...

...My Dream Job I guess my dream job would be a combination of things. I don’t like just sitting at a desk. I need to get up and move around. I guess it would be a helpdesk role along with a systems administrator and a network administrator. I enjoy working with people hence the helpdesk role. I like the freedom to move around of the helpdesk role. Network administration is the most challenging of the roles. System admin is probably the most mundane of all. The helpdesk requires you to go to a person’s desk and interact with them. In the network admin role you work with the different devices. You may have to troubleshoot a connectivity issue, install a device, and configure the device. In the system admin role you mostly create user accounts, set shares and permissions, create e-mail accounts. To be able to land this type of job I will have to update some of my credentials. Probably go to college for at least an associate’s or maybe a bachelor’s degree. A lot of job advertisements I am seeing are requiring those now. I have experience but no degree. I need to renew my CCNA certification. That entails either going to classes or studying online. Going to classes would be the best because it would go toward a degree and give some hands on experience. The same applies to my A+ certification. Some of the other certifications also need refreshing. At my age I wonder if it would be worth the effort of working toward a degree. It would take over two years to complete...

...Medical Assistant). Health care administrators have wide-ranging influence within the world of medicine. The leadership that these professionals provide sets the future course not only for the facilities they manage but also for the health care system as a whole. The educational requirements are as followed: A bachelor’s degree (four years) is the typical entry-level preparation needed for health care administration jobs. Some employers, however, will promote from within or hire other professionals with related experience (ex. Nurses) who are ideal for an administrative role due to their direct health care knowledge. This means attaining a MBA, or a different type of master’s degree, or a doctorate in health administration is required for high- level executive positions. Subspecialties are often available, especially in graduate programs. These include long-term care administration, health care services, or health information management. Prospective health care administrators should look for educational programs accredited by the Commission of Accreditation of Healthcare Management Education. An accredited program has successfully gone through a process that ensures responsibility and a commitment to quality progress. Training: Some educational programs, especially graduate programs in health care administration, have internships as part of the program. Students often spend time in an assistant role, being supervised by a health administrator, or participate in a special project...

...malnourished school children whistle supporting the farmers. However, in the 1990s, the program was transformed to an initiative to promoting sound nutrition among the youth. This transformation process is what is referred to as “reinvention” (Stillman 410). To implement this program, there has to be interplay between political and technocratic interests. During the reinvention, several health and consumer advocates came out to support the change while some were against. The operation of this policy is a complex one involving several interest groups, consumer advocacy groups and professional associations. The system starts with the legislations and regulations; ranging from the producers of the food, the delivery process to the schools’ administrators and to the food service personnel. The workers who prepare the food and serve the students are also part of the National School Lunch Program. (Stillman 412) has illustrated how the National School Lunch Program is in line with Heclo’s thesis on Issue networks. This is through the...

...Professional Ethics Introduction Importance of Ethics in Public Administration The study of the foundations of ethical administration is an important topic to explore when working in a public organization, especially when pursuing a future role as a public administrator. Ethics in public administration is not a transient concept but has proven to be an approach which has shown a great deal of sustainability which is fundamental to the area of public administration. Ethics is gaining prominence in the discourse about governance today. Public organizations and public administrators should strive for high ethical standards and an ethical workplace. “The general goal of identifying ethical precepts is relatively straight forward—to develop standards of “right conduct” that are known and knowable beforehand and apply to more or less everyone—but maddeningly difficult to specify with precision, an even more onerous to practice (Martinez, 2009, p.1).” Organizations need to abide by ethics or rule of law and engage themselves in fair practices and competition; all of which will benefit the public and organization. Ethics is important because of the following: satisfying basic human needs, creating credibility, uniting people and leadership, improving decision making, long term gains, and securing the public. Ethics tries to create a sense of right and wrong in the organizations and often when the law fails, it is the ethics that may stop organizations from harming the society...

...Becoming a Nursing Home Administrator As an Accounting Clerk within the nursing home there are many things an employee in the office may not see. There are also many rewarding times which an individual may want to see more of and be able to have a greater participation within the organization. This writer wants the opportunity to become a nursing home administrator. A nursing home administrator can wear any hat within their organization. This may include nursing administration, budgeting, financials, social work and possibly even stockroom. Being a nursing home administrator can be a huge job. There are many aspects to daily life in a nursing home that need to be dealt with. Delegating work can relieve some of the burden, but a nursing home administrator is ultimately responsible for the health and well-being of the facility they are in charge of. Even though a nursing home administrator can delegate certain daily activities, they are in charge of the quality of the care at the facility, making sure the facility complies with state and federal regulations, and budgeting considerations among other things. Since a nursing home facility never closes, the hours a nursing home administrator keeps can be long. Some days there may be an after hours crisis that needs attending to. There are many requirements of becoming a nursing home administrator, which the State of New York requires. Using the eight stages for successful change...

...Strategies short answer May 21, 2015 A network administrator is an individual that is responsible for the maintenance of computer hardware and software systems that make up a computer network including the maintenance and monitoring of active data network or converged infrastructure and related network equipment.

...1. Outline the role of an administrator appointed to a company which is insolvent. Once an administrator is appointed, what roles do the directors of the company have? If a company is insolvent, the directors can get themselves into serious trouble with the Law if they allow the company to continue to trade. According to s. 436A of the Act, directors are expected to appoint a voluntary administrator to the company even before it becomes insolvent: (1) A company may, by writing, appoint an administrator of the company if the board has resolved to the effect that: (a) in the opinion of the directors voting for the resolution, the company is insolvent, or is likely to become insolvent at some future time; and (b) an administrator of the company should be appointed. Section 437A(1) spells out the role of an administrator: (1) While a company is under administration, the administrator: (a) has control of the company’s business, property and affairs; and (b) may carry on that business and manage that property and those affairs; and (c) may terminate or dispose of all or part of that business, and may dispose of any of that property; and (d) may perform any function, and exercise any power, that the company or any of its officers could perform or exercise if the company were not under administration.

...Identify and describe three reasons there may be a physician shortage rather than a surplus in the United States. The number of physicians in the United States has increased rapidly in the last four decades showing about a 218 percent increase between the years 1965 to 2005. The Graduate Medical Education National Advisory Committee (GMENAC) reported in 1980 that there would be a surplus of physicians of 70,000 in 1990, and roughly 140,000 in 2000. But, by the early 2000’s some observers were raising the spectre of a physician shortage, especially among some specialty groups. Part of the response as to why there is a shortage lies in the way that differing methodologies and assumptions yield varying physician requirement and supply projections. The three reasons are explained as follows: 1. First, although managed care remains a formidable force in the organization and delivery of health care, its more restrictive elements have been blunted due to widespread physician and patient dissatisfaction, particularly with limits on choice. Medicine’s distaste of tightly controlled reimbursement and of non-physicians’ attempts to control their work fueled much of this backlash. The outcome of this has been a movement away from captioned insurance arrangements back to coverage that more closely resembles fee-for-service plans, especially preferred provider organizations. Physicians and patients seem to prefer choice to efficiency, which will add pressure for more physicians and...
