...Nursing Theory Historical Timeline Nursing theory has changed greatly over the years. That change occurred because of advancement in education and technology, which advanced nursing theories. These theories are what shapes the clinical practice and critical thinking process of nurses today. All of the theories available today started with one woman – Florence Nightingale. 1859 – Florence Nightingale established the first nursing theory which provides the basis of nursing today. Nightingale identified nursing as an art and a science. According to Selanders (2010), “Nightingale provides the profession with the expectation that nursing will be practiced by educated individuals using current research and methods (science) as well as compassion and common logic (art).” 1943 – Maslow developed the Hierarchy of Needs. This theory focuses on people’s basic need to survive as the foundation. Each level above that deals with the other essential elements of survival. Using this theory in nursing provides health care workers with the ability to prioritize patient care needs (Preceden, 2014). 1950’s – In this decade, the need for nursing administrators, faculty members, and graduate level educated nurses was acknowledged. In 1952, a nurse theorist named Peplau, launched the first post baccalaureate nursing program and also developed the Theory of Interpersonal Relations.

...implants. The early devices had a seamed rubber shell filled with a viscous form of silicone gel. They were firm to the touch and had a teardrop shape. Interestingly, it was thought at the time that the implants needed to be attached to existing tissue in order to stay put, so these early models featured Dacron or silicone mesh patches for this purpose (these were later discontinued). During the several years Dow Corning made these implants they refined their design, creating a thinner, seamless shell, for example. The main complaints about the first silicone implants were twofold – they were too firm to the touch and caused a high incidence of capsular contracture. As a result, the second generation of implants, designed in the early 1970's, had thinner shells and more liquid silicone filling. These implants not only had a tendency to rupture, they also were found to leak silicone through their shells. These were the devices most...

The timeline of healthcare is very important because it helps to show what has happened and why the country is where it is today with the healthcare industry. It changes all the time so the timeline will always be changing and it is important to keep up to date with what is going on. This paper will help to show how the country has come to where it is today. Before the 1900’s there was not really anything that could be called major health care in the country. Doctors were still making house calls, people would use supply and demand to be able to get treatment, home remedies were being used a lot and The American Medical Association (AMA) was just getting off the ground, and hospitals were just being established. At this point in time health insurance was unheard of. During the 1900’s Teddy Roosevelt became president was the first to introduce the idea of health insurance and called or all Americans to have universal healthcare. During the Great Depression the Social Security Act was signed which provided states with the funds to build health departments and it established benefits the elderly.

...Organizational Downsizing Techniques and Handling Layoffs Team 1 Christina Berardi Bridget Quinn-Carey Tung-Yueh, Lee Over the last two decades, organizational downsizing has been a key management strategy favored by many organizations attempting to cope with fundamental and structural changes in the shifting economy. In the mid-1980’s, downsizing was implemented primarily by companies experiencing difficult economic times (Gandolfi, 2006). Companies hoped to cut costs and improve performance. By the late-1980’s, it developed into a proactive restructuring strategy for a multitude of organizations. Furthermore, since then, organizational downsizing has now transformed the corporate landscape and changed the lives of hundreds of millions of individuals around the world (Gandolfi, 2006). There are several definitions that have been developed to effectively define the phenomenon of organizational downsizing. To sum it up in one sentence, organizational downsizing refers to a set of activities, taken on by the core management of an organization, designed to improve organizational efficiency, productivity, and competitiveness. It represents a management strategy that affects three components: (a) the size of the firm’s workforce, (b) the costs, and (c) the work processes. On the surface, downsizing can be interpreted as merely a reduction in organizational size, and the process is a chaotic and uncertain experience...

...multitasking, the PC is the way to go. Regardless if you’re using a Windows or a Mac, the PC is king and may always be. When IBM and Apple first launched the consumer and business PCs in the mid 1970s and early 1980s, they brought in a new era. The PC allowed the consumer the ability to perform tasks without having a mainframe. Today, computers are just about everywhere performing tasks as simple as allowing me to write this essay to assisting in the operating room. Looking at the technological advancements of the computer over the years leaves you wondering where we will be in 20 or 30 years. When the first personal computer was put out, companies saw the benefits of owning their own computers and how they could make their company become more productive. People during the late 70s and the following decades fell in love with the personal computer and used them for a variety of reasons, including office applications, home finance organization, storing data and many more options. The computer seemed to have made things a little easier. In the 1990’s, the PC became mainstream. In 1990 the Hubble telescope was put in space and Microsoft was the first company to exceed $1 billion in sales. In 1994 Vice President Gore coined the term “Information Superhighway”. The way the computer impacted the 90’s was unimaginable. From blackberry to yahoo mail and facebook.com coming online, the computer was changing everyday life as we knew it thanks to the internet.

...Health Policy Determinant Timeline Kwabena Aboagye HCS/550 June 02, 2014 John Dean Health Policy Determinant Timeline In 1950, most American receives their health coverage through the private insurance market, usually through their jobs. Many people buy insurance on their own in the individual market. Since coverage from private companies is the largest surge of insurance for Americans it is likely to be a central part of federal and state health reform efforts. Private health coverage is a mechanism for people to protect themselves from the potentially extreme financial costs of medical care if they become severely ill, and ensure that they have access to health care when they need it. Private health coverage products pool the risk of high health care costs across a large number of people, permitting them (or employers on their behalf) to pay a premium based on the average cost of medical care for the group of people. This risk-spreading function helps make the cost of health care reasonably affordable for most people. Medicare and Medicaid were previously known as Health Care Financing Administration (HCFA). In 1965, the Social Security Act establishing both Medicare and Medicaid. The Social Security Administration (SSA) became responsible for the administration of Medicare and Social and Rehabilitation Service become responsible for the administration of Medicaid.
