...Develop, Implement, and Evaluation. My analysis included learner analysis and needs analysis. These are described more in depth below. The design and development of the project was to create a Mary Kay Skin Care class that I can use throughout my Mary Kay career. Mary Kay has examples provided to independent consultants, but I wanted a skin care class that represented me and was original. My development included creating an original skin care class that I felt was correlated with my instructor style. In the implementation of the class, I actually taught the class to two groups of young ladies, aged 16-28, at my house. Each of the ladies was transitioning from a teen skin care to the adult skin care. The instructional objective was “My learners will be able to complete a skin care regiment in sequential order, based on their skin type and time of day (morning or night).” The class was very hands-on and allowed the ladies to participate in a skin care regiment that was relevant to their needs. It took about 60 minutes for the learners to complete the training, excluding the question and answer session at the end. Finally, the evaluation was conducted as a game through which the participants had to recall the skin care regiment in order. Each of the learners completed a workshop evaluation form rating various pieces of instruction. Front-end analyses I performed a needs analysis and a learner analysis. The learners are using teen skin care, Velocity, through Mary...

...Proposal Introduction Statement: The We Care Foundation is a private charitable organization, dedicated to helping build better futures for disadvantaged children in poverty in North Carolina. It also serve as a direct-service child abuse prevention and treatment program as well. Every day, children across the country are subjected to abuse or neglect by the very people they rely upon for safety and security--their parents or caregivers. Because no one wants to believe that good people can hurt their own children and investigations of child abuse are kept Confidential. In 2007, nearly 16,685 cases of child abuse involving 25,435 children were reported in North Carolina . Experts believe that only one in four cases of child abuse is ever reported. It was also stated that the rate of alleged child maltreatment for the entire state of North Carolina is almost one out of every 50 children. And the problem does not end with childhood. Whether you consider them symptoms or causes, neglect and abuse in the family are at the root of many of the major problems society faces today. Title: The We Care Foundation The primary mission of the We Care Foundation is to foster public policies, human-service reforms, and community supports that more effectively meet the needs of today’s vulnerable children and families. In pursuit of this goal, the Foundation makes a great deal about how to help struggling families...

...organization is the planning foundation that it is built on. The authors of this paper recognize the importance of creating a strong blueprint from which a nonprofit is then realized. An explanation factoring each step of the strategic planning process from a start-up perspective is followed by the authors applying the newly acquired knowledge to broadly create a “mock” foundation. Program Framework within the Nonprofit Organization: How to Create a Successful Nonprofit Harvard Kennedy School’s curriculum for one of their nonprofit classes states that “Strategic Frameworks for Nonprofit Organizations is designed to help nonprofit and NGO leaders use strategic management frameworks to improve their organizations.” (Letts, 2012) Smith, Bucklin & Associates, Inc. teaches: “Strategic planning is a management tool that can help focus – and periodically refocus – an organization’s vision and priorities. This planning process establishes choices about how best to accomplish the organization’s mission.” (Smith, 2000) Carl Richardson simplifies the urgency of strategic planning by asserting “An organization that is growing and hopes to sustain that growth needs a set of strategies to guide its program development, build a solid financial foundation, and prepare for challenges that lie ahead. In other words, it needs a strategic plan.” (Richardson, 2012) With this exigency, we are focused to answer the following questions: What is strategic planning and how do we correctly apply this...

...curriculum model. How does this influence the Early Years Foundation Stage in England? Every child deserves the best possible start in life and the support to fulfil their potential. A child’s experience in the early years has a major impact on their future life chances. A secure, safe and happy childhood is important in its own right, and it provides the foundation for children to make the most of their talents as they grow up. The Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) (DfES, 2007), is the framework that provides that assurance. The aim of the EYFS is to help young children achieve the five Every Child Matters outcomes of staying safe, being healthy, enjoying and achieving, making a positive contribution, and achieving economic well- being by ‘Setting the Standards, Promoting Equality of Opportunity, Creating the framework for partnership working, Improving quality and consistency and Laying a secure foundation for future learning. The EYFS is divided into six sections of learning, namely Personal, Social and Emotional Development; Communication, Language and Literacy; Problem Solving, Reasoning and Numeracy; Knowledge and Understanding of the World; Physical Development; and Creative Development. The EYFS curriculum is largely influenced by developmental perspectives, acknowledging the diverse cultural influences in the country. It emphasises children's holistic development and attempts to embrace explicitly care, welfare and education. It clearly articulates the early learning...

...VI. Goals and Objectives 8 VII. Project Activities 10 VIII. Evaluation 11 IX. Budget Summary 12 X. Program Budget 15 XI. The Group Process 17 [pic] Summary of Proposal In the summer of 1999, the United States Supreme Court issued the Olmstead v. L. C. decision. Because of this decision, institutionalized disabled individuals now have a choice in whether they are to remain in their present facility or to move out into the community. The Court’s landmark decision in that case undoubtedly challenges our Federal, state, and local governments to develop more opportunities for individuals with disabilities through additional accessible systems of cost-effective community-based services. After the Olmstead decision, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services recommended that each state develop a written “Olmstead Plan” to ensure compliance with the Supreme Court’s decision. At the date of this proposal, the State of California has been non-compliant in that breakthrough decision; the state has not composed a plan of action to de-institutionalize those with disabilities who are capable, with help from community service programs, of residing in the community setting. When a person moves from an institutional setting into the community, there are many challenges that must be faced. Our non-profit foundation, The Center for...

...“Knowing is not enough; we must apply. Willing is not enough; we must do.” -Goeth Evidence-Based Practice in Nursing is needed for an effective, safe and efficient health care. The evidence-based practice can be initiated by realigning education and curriculum, also doing research in the new fields, as well as theory and model development. For better patient care newly acquired knowledge must be changed to useful forms and it should be implemented throughout the system and evaluate the effectiveness. Future of Nursing report (IOM, 2011a) focuses on the convergence of knowledge, quality, and new functions in nursing.EBP is transforming the current knowledge into common care decisions to improve care and outcomes.EBP is a promise for moving care into a higher level for a high health outcome. Healthcare quality is foundation for evidence-based practice. Definition of quality healthcare is “Degree to which health services for individuals and populations increase the like hood of desired health outcomes and are consistent with current professional knowledge (IOM 1990; 2013, para 3).The quality is depended on three aspects. They are intervention, targeted outcome, and consistency with current knowledge. The EBP is to implement our fullest knowledge what we do in patient care. In our facility standard of practice protocol for early recognition and appropriate management of individuals with dementia is implemented as an evidence-based...

...assignment is to discuss how the module content and practice experience has contributed to my development as a nurse. It will involve reflecting on a particular episode of care delivery to a patient by me and my nursing mentor whilst on my 5 week placement and how I felt that the Foundation to nursing practice module helped equip me with both the knowledge and skills. In education for health-care professions it is recognised as an essential tool for helping students to make links between theory and practice and enables you to develop your knowledge and skills towards becoming a professional. Reflective practice is noted as being fundamental to development as a professional. To protect anonymity and maintain confidentiality the patient focused on this assignment will be known as patient A, furthermore consent was gained from patient A and they were provided with clear information on what would be included in this assignment and where informed that no recognisable information would be given, this is done in accordance with the Nursing & Midwifery Councils Code of Professional Conduct (2002) guidelines. Nursing assessment is considered to be the first step in the process of delivering individualised nursing care which is defined by A Dictionary of Nursing (2008) as care that is planned to meet the particular needs of one patient, as opposed to a routine applied to all patients suffering from the same disease.

...based nursing practice, and providing strong leadership roles at all levels of the health care system. The nursing education encourages lifelong learning that includes seamless academic progression (Robert Wood Foundation, 2010). The nursing practice incorporates both standards of practice and professional accountability. Strong leadership focuses on safety and quality of care to realize the vision of transformed health care. (Robert Wood Foundation, 2010). All of these are equally important to produce a highly qualified nursing workforce that provides value based quality care and takes the leadership role in transforming the nursing profession. Transforming Education – The Impact of the IOM Report on Nursing Education: The current nursing workforce involves different levels of education and training like licensed vocational nurse (LVN), associate degree, diploma, and bachelor’s degree. This leads to confusion and inconsistency in care. “Nurses should achieve higher levels of education and training through an improved education system that promotes seamless academic progression” (Robert Wood Foundation, 2010). The purpose of the nursing education is to meet diverse cultural patient’s needs, take the leadership role in the health care system, and use evidence based knowledge to provide cost effective quality care. The nursing profession is dynamic in nature and changes with the Health Care System along with the work environment. To meet those changes, the education process for...

...department; just as important as realizing the needs of a customer for any other business. In this paper, I will compare the strategic planning process and the nursing process as well as the possible roles nurses could play in planning of informatics. Strategic planning is a systematic process with an end goal that looks toward the future. The process allows for goals to be made with possible actions and objectives to help achieve these goals. According to Hebda & Czar, 2013, Strategic planning involves 9 steps: identification of the need for change, definition of goals and scope, scanning of external and internal environments, data analysis, identification of potential solutions, and selection of a course of action, implementation, evaluation, and feedback. Strategic planning is useful in many areas of business, including healthcare and nursing. Often strategic planning falls on an administrative member of the department due to the often unavailability of clinical staff to give needed time for strategic planning sessions. Hebda & Czar, 2013, define Strategic Planning as “the development of a comprehensive, long-range plan for guiding the activities and operations of an organization” (p.588). The Nursing process according to MediLexicon International (2015), is defined as "a five-part systematic decision-making method focusing on identifying and treating responses of individuals or groups to actual or potential alterations in health". The nursing process includes five...

...Hospice Care How much do people know about hospice care and what is involved in it? We research just about every big decision that affects our lives right now. For example we may research what career is best for us and our family, what kind of car best fits our financial needs, what kind of mortgage can we afford over a long period, and more important how is the neighborhood. Research is even conducted on something as small as what is the latest and greatest phone on the market. We spend hours or some times days researching these decisions, but how much time do we spend looking into the last days of our lives? If the average American is like me, they have not done any research about hospice care. My knowledge of hospice care was very limited by personal experience with both of my grandparents. Several years ago both of my grandparents were suffering from terminal illnesses and were placed in a hospice in Los Angeles with only a few months to live. I recall going to visit both of them and remember how poor the facility was. Just like with almost anything involving medical care, you get what you pay for. Neither one of my grandparents were financially at the top of the health care ladder and were both on Medicare like most Americans in their demographic. Hospice care was first established in the United States in 1970 and has become a growing industry since. (Hospice care in the United States, 2011) By 1995, hospices were a $2.8 billion industry with $1...

...Chapter 1 THE PROBLEM AND ITS BACKGROUND INTRODUCTION The increasing number of women and children being trafficked and commercially exploited is one of the many problems the Philippines have when it comes to children’s welfare is. Economic globalization, internationalization, and free trade have brought with them many benefits and as well unanticipated set of social problems. Among them is the dramatic rise worldwide in the incidence of child exploitation. Among the most virulent forms of this exploitation is child sexual exploitation (CSE) - including their commercial sexual exploitation of children (CSEC). Child pornography, juvenile prostitution and trafficking in children for sexual purposes have emerged as significant problems in the national, regional, and international stages. So, too, has child sex tourism. CSE and the CSEC appear to be related in complex ways with other forms of child exploitation, such as the use of children in labour, drug and warfare settings. According to End Child Prostitution (ECPAT), child pornography and trafficking of children for sexual purposes, the commercial sexual exploitation of children consists of criminal practices; that demean, degrade and threaten the physical and psychosocial integrity of children.
