...Registered Nurses in the United States. The first degree plan is a diploma nursing degree, which is a 3 year program that focuses on nursing tasks in a hospital setting. It is noted that the diploma nursing program provides the most clock hours of clinical instruction (Hood, 2010, pg. 15). The second degree plan is the associate degree in nursing; this degree focuses on a combination of didactic and clinical skills over a 2 year period. The last degree is the baccalaureate degree in nursing which is a higher level of education in nursing; this includes additional courses in nursing research and community health projects. This paper will give an overview of the differences between the competencies of the associate degree plan versus the baccalaureate trained nurse in the patient care setting. Associate Degree in Nursing The associate degree was originally created to help with the nursing shortage after World War II. The first associate degree nursing program was started by Dr. Mildred Montag in 1952 (Potter & Perry, 2009, pg. 3). The associate degree in nursing is an attractive alternative for many people who decide to go to school to become a nurse. In recent years the ability to obtain a degree in a shorter amount of time and at a lesser cost than a 4 year university has become more advantageous to prospective students. With the evolve of the ADN Registered Nurse to the Baccalaureate Degree in Nursing fast track programs offered, the nurse has the ability to work and support...

...IIBM Institute of Business Management Distance Learning Approval, Accreditation, Membership MBA IIBM | From the Director's Desk Dear Students, Gone are the days when open distance learning (ODL) courses by institutes merely offered a correspondence course for a Bachelor's or a Master's degree.

...effects on the job performance of working students in selected colleges in cavite Jaime A. Enoc Jr., Aileen C. Juera De La Salle University – Dasmariñas City of Dasmariñas, Province of Cavite Abstract Education is considered as one of the valuable thing for every Filipino that they can achieve. It became a culture for every Filipino family to have even one member of the family to finish the education with a Diploma. This now became the answer for poverty for most of them. That is why even though the path to achieve success through education is seem to be narrow and steep, they still strive for excellence. That is why Filipino youth who really want to pursue their education chose to work while studying because of the incapability of their parents to support them financially. But due to their oath-to-work together with their responsibility as a student, how can they perform well in their job despite of their school responsibility? This study, therefore, was undertaken to find out how are they going to perform in a job while being a student at the same time. More specifically, it sought to answer the following questions: * Is schooling hindrance working students to perform to their job well? Or vice versa? * Is there any aspect that hinders the student to perform in their job? * Are they satisfied with their current job that can make them perform in the job well? * Are they more effective in their work environment than others?

...Business Entities, Laws, and Regulations Paper University Of Phoenix Business Entities, Laws, and Regulations Paper Successful management of a business entity is dependent on understanding industry structure, taxation, laws, regulations, risks, motivation, and a business plan. The business structure will affect profits, business liability, and taxes. A sole proprietorship, an LLC, or corporation, requires research and planning to determine which structure is right for a business. Equally important is development of a good business plan. The business plan will provide industry insight to important aspects of a business. Understanding local, state, and federal business laws and regulations will assist in identifying risks and provide information to protect or minimize the outcome of litigation or failure. Lou and Jose are planning to open a sports bar and restaurant but they lack the startup cash to do so. A wealthy investor named Miriam, has agreed to provide working capital to fund the startup and establishment of the business. In return for investing her money into the business, she wants a percentage of the company. The structure that is appropriate for the business is a member-managed LLC with Lou and Jose as the designated manager and Miriam as the non-manager. Lou and Jose will manage day-to-day business, whereas, Miriam has no control, unless otherwise provided in the operating agreement (Cheeseman, 2010).

...Running Head: Grades in non major courses in U.S colleges and Universities Grades in non major courses in U.S colleges and Universities Mohammad Rahman In India, university students, even undergraduates, focus all of their studies on their major field courses. For example, engineering students take all of their courses, every term, in the school of engineering. However, every undergraduate student at the Strayer University is required to take many courses that have little or no relevance to their field of study. Although students graduates from the university with a broader education as a result of these courses, I believe that the curses should be graded other way, and that the grades for these courses for these courses should not become part of students’ GPAs. Anti-evolution, the rise of pseudo sciences, and the renewed interest in the occult, all masquerading as science, are symptomatic of the poor job that is done explicating science as a process and a way of knowing. Disciplinary teaching emphasizes fact over concept. (Brophy, D.A. (2004) Every science discipline should be taught with a process base pervasive from the first to the last day of the course. Science teaching needs be revamped to provide an integrated, non-redundant exposition of the discipline focused on principles of which the theory of evolution is only one. Science must to be related both to technology and society. Teaching has to be directed to elicit the desired ends of education and not be regarded...

...Education or Experience? It Depends. Shai Walker Webster University Author Note This paper was prepared for Staffing and Selection HRMG 5800, Section 54, taught by Professor Karns. Abstract Can experience make up for the lack of a degree, or does a degree provide something that experience cannot? Is one more valuable than the other? Talk about a discussion that will have you chasing your tail! It's truly a trap debate because the right answer is "it depends". Whether it's a completely strategic discussion about your organization's policies or a discussion involving a specific position and candidate, this issue continually resurfaces at organizations. And depending on what side of the fence you sit, this issue can be very personal and emotional. Obviously, there are specific cases where the question is debatable. If you need a registered professional engineer to approve plans, the degree requirement is a given. If you're a hospital looking for a surgeon, you're probably seeking someone with a PhD in medicine. However, the scope of positions that may or may not require a degree gets gray pretty fast, and the span is pretty wide. And, no industry is immune to this issue. Keywords: experience, degree, organizations, policies, professional, requirement, industry. Education or Experience? It Depends. Take this scenario: Bob and Joe are both applying for the same job. They each interview well, but Bob has 15 years’ experience and no college degree, and Joe is fresh...

...College Isn’t for Everyone. Let’s Stop Pretending It Is. by Michael Petrilli gives readers a look at how there are some students that may not benefit from a college education. He writes that the current school of thought is that communities should be preparing all students for college success, whether it be four-year or other post-secondary degree; therefore, the very last thing that should be told to students graduating high school is that they may not succeed in a college setting, even if that were true. He asks, “What if encouraging students to take a shot at the college track – despite very long odds of crossing its finish line – does them more harm than good?” If a student is way behind in reading and math when they graduate high school, they are less likely to succeed where they are expected to succeed in college level courses. “We shouldn’t force anyone into that route, but we also shouldn’t guilt kids with low odds of college success—regardless of their race or class—to keep trudging through...

...Running head: EVIDENCE-BASED NURSING PRACTICE Evidence-Based Nursing Practice Karen Medley Walden University NURS 4000 Section 05, Research and Scholarship for Evidence-Based Practice) July 22, 2012 Abstract For patients that have indwelling catheters, with the evidence-based practice and standards of care, UTI’s does still continue to be an ongoing problem today. In one of the large hospitals in my area had recently developed a poster and video approach with special focus on alternatives to urinary catheterization, removing catheters early, and the reinforcement of sterile technique prior insertion and foley catheter care were used to educate nursing staff and improve outcomes. The purpose of this paper is to educate nursing on how to be proactive with this issue and to inform the providers when there is no further need for the catheters to reduce infections in patients. Practice setting problem Urinary tract infections (UTIs) account for approximately 35% of nosocomial infections but are the lowest in mortality and cost (Burke, 2003). Patients with UTIs as a secondary diagnosis have an average length of stay of 9.1 days versus those without a urinary catheter of 4.7 days. As individuals live longer, the probability of them being hospitalized and requiring specialized care services is increased (Hobbs, 2001). Hospitalization of any aged person increases the risk for them to have a urinary indwelling catheter, which predisposes them to a nosocomial urinary tract infection...
