...Prompt 2: Are early educational institutions doing enough to prepare students for the college experience? Title Thesis: Even though attending college has its benefits, grade school lacks the proper foundation for students entering those institutions. In elementary school the curriculum is simple; children are being taught the basics of education letters, number, shapes, colors etc. Teachers provide more creative learning techniques which gives the students an option to understand the lesson. It is not only the subject taught in the class but the schedule the student adapts to around class time. At a young age children are put on a schedule starting with getting up, going to school and returning home. School is the midpoint and the highlight of the child’s day; therefore each day is based around their hours of learning. Students starting middle school may not be as excited to start because they know what comes next. In this stage of education, students are being introduced to class periods, more teachers and different subjects. These young adults have to deal with more personalities and different teaching techniques. Classroom requirements are no longer flexible; academic standards are not as ease to pass. ....

...misconduct with small transgressions and then slide down a slippery slope.” Getting away with those smaller transgressions encouraged them to commit bigger and bigger offenses as time went by. (Gino) I think this can apply to both the workplace as well as academia. In reference to the University of Central Florida Cheating Scandal, I would have to agree with the statement that cheating has become so widespread that many students have shifted their view of it all together. I feel like this has a lot to do with the generation of millennial students that are currently attending college and how they view higher education. The millennials are a challenging generation that see higher education as an expensive necessity to succeed and do not value the hard work it takes to get there. Cost of higher education keeps going up, and the more money they spend to receive their education, the more they view college as a purchase rather than a privilege. They believe they are making this investment as a way to open the doors to high paying careers and they feel entitled to their degree since they are paying for their classes. This results in these students wanting to receive their degree while putting in the least amount of effort to do it so they can move on to the workforce with a great job. (Reis) In addition many of these millennials did minimal homework and studying for good grades in high school, received a weaker K-12 education than previous generations, and have parents that...

...school student remembers the stressful experience of preparing for college. Quite frankly, I never really understood the concept of college. In my opinion, it was just another ordinary school transition unlike the ones I had already experienced. I envisioned it be something along the lines of my middle school to high school transition. Yet, to my surprise, it was nothing of the like. It was not until my college transition, that I finally felt I was at a disadvantage in comparison to some of my classmates. It was also during this time that I realized I was a First-Generation College Student because neither of my parents had attended college and I was the first of my family to do so. Nevertheless, as a child, I never questioned the...

...several years there has been a boom in online learning and online education. Almost every college is now offering online classes for their students. There are several accredited colleges that were started only to offer online classes. On the road to success, students encountering online education reap many benefits that better prepare them for their future. This is my first experience with on-line learning, and it has been a great experience so far. The teachers are very helpful and guide the students with text and videos on how to take an online class. Anytime a student requires any assistance they could just email the teacher and so far I've experienced that all my teacher’s reply within one day if not within hours. There are various benefits of having an online class. There is no need to drive to college every day and you can save money on gas and driving expenses. You can do your assignments on your own time and set your own schedule. It is easier for people who work to do this in their time after work or on their days off. Also, transferring credits is a breeze as I could take summer online classes and transfer them to my four year college while working at the same time. Chicago is a city well known for its cold weather. There are many instances in a year where snowstorms have, and can occur. In this semester specifically, it is still winter and therefore snow is inevitable and causes colleges to cancel classes. These classes then have to be made up and can cause the semester...

...# of words: 526 Francisco I. Jimenez College Application/ Personal Statement 05/23/14 Prompt: Describe the world you come from — for example, your family, community or school — and tell us how your world has shaped your dreams and aspirations. As a young Mexican American adult I have experienced the best of both worlds. My parents came to America a long time ago in order to establish a good foundation for their children. When my parents first moved to San Diego they bought a house that fit their budget. They bought a home in a community called SouthEast San Diego, which is considered a dangerous and inferior community when in reality it is full of culture and unity. Unfortunately the schools in the community were not helping me succeed as a student, so my parents enrolled me at Our Lady of Angels, a private school I attended until the eighth grade. After eighth grade my parents chose to move to Coronado Island so that I could attend Coronado High School. My experience in the private school system is where my religious beliefs and athletic ability really began to develop. Although I had been raised a catholic before I attended the private school, I never really took the subject seriously and religion wasn't a big part of my life, but Our Lady of Angels has taught me how to get closer to God and how to love him/her for all God has done for me. Our Lady of Angels also inspired me to pursue sports, there I played flag football, basketball, and soccer. I have played sports in my yard and at clubs before...

...change. However, I disagree with the statement and think people will still keep their old friends even they move to other places, for high technology, friendship recognition. First of all, there are no inventions have received more praise than internet and cell phones, which are well-developed for people to communicate with their friends by the communicating materials. Skype, which is a tool used to keep in touch with others, is often cited as an example. In my case, it is Skype that I often talk to my friends in different countries. Cell phones are, also, the most common and convenient implements to contact with each other. Take Judy, my sister, for example. After graduating from the senior high school, she goes to another city for attending college, she still chats with her best friend by texting messages and phone calling. Second, I believe that real friendship is a long-term, deeply bound with each other. That is, companionship can last for a long time; it will not end up easily for the distance. Besides, as an old saying goes, “aAbsence makes the heart grow fonder.”Excellent!! Sometimes, folks apart from their friends make them realize how significant their friends are, so they will much treasure their fellowship. Take my personal example. After coming back from Montana, a place where I stay for one year, I still get quite along with my friends, even better than before since we miss each other and having a lot of stories to share during a year to share with.(If you have...

...This article reviews research identifying the major factors that prompt both counterproductive work behaviors (CWB) and organizational citizenship behaviors (OCB). The dynamics of these relations are discussed, and possible approaches for workplace diagnosis and interventions designed to negate CWB and foster OCB are offered. A special focus on the implications of and possible interventions incorporating organizational justice are also presented. In the past several years, organizational behavior literature has benefited from a growing body of research that has moved beyond investigations of task performance and ventured into other performance domains of counterproductive work behavior (CWB) and organizational citizenship behavior (OCB; Conlon, Meyer, & Nowakowski, 2005; Dalal, 2005). This research has revealed both employee characteristics and aspects of the work environment that can serve as antecedents to such positive or negative behavior. For instance, studies have examined organizational factors such as job design (Tompson & Werner, 1997), organizational injustice (e.g., Aquino, Lewis, & Bradfield, 1999; Greenberg, 1990), and perceived stress (e.g., Boye & Jones, 1997) as Correspondence should be sent to Katherine M.

...acutely and chronically ill individuals. They are also accountable for the health promotion and maintenance of patients, families, communities, and the entire population at large in a wide range of healthcare settings. They also constitute the surveillance system for early detection of complications and problems in care and in the best position to initiate actions that will minimize negative outcome for patients.(Aiken et al 2003). For one to become a registered nurse there are three pathways to follow and these are Diploma- a 3year hospital based program, Associate degree- a 2year degree obtainable from community colleges, and Baccalaureate degree program from 4year colleges and universities. All three of these pathways will qualify the nurse to sit for the National Council Licensure Examination (NCLEX). As stated in the journal of American Association of colleges of Nursing (AACN) “The NCLEX-RN is only one indicator of competency and does not measure performance over time or test for all the knowledge and skills developed through BSN program (Rossetter 2012). However, we will focus more on the differences in competencies between nurses prepared at the associate degree level versus baccalaureate degree level in nursing and identify a patient care situation in which nursing care or approaches to decision making may differ based upon educational preparation. The associate degree program (ADN) which was founded by Mildred Montag due to severe shortage of nurses was designed...

...University Professional Dynamics NRS - 430V Melissa Adams January 26, 2014 Associate versus baccalaureate degree in nursing According to the JAMA Network, registered nurses in the United States are able to receive their basic education in a ADN and BSN program in colleges and universities... Although there are a variety of educational programs preparing RNs, some studies have suggested that baccalaureate-prepared nurses are more likely to demonstrate professional behaviors important to patient safety such as problem solving, performance of complex functions, and effective communication. ("Educational Levels," n.d) A large number of situations have been reported in the research studies reviewed. No major differences are noted between the cognitive abilities of students in baccalaureate and associate degree programs. (Davis-Martin, 1990, p. 2) Associate degree nurses are able to perform well in technical roles for which they have been prepared, as well as in some leadership roles for which they were not originally prepared. I am a prime example of that associate degree nurse who has been performing in leadership roles over the years this is due to on the job training and attending management courses. Baccalaureate nursing practice incorporates the roles of assessing, critical thinking, communicating, providing care, teaching, and leading.
