...Throughout my time in the program, I have realized that it’s extremely important that as a future educator, I’m able to connect concepts to different perspectives to engage learners, and get them to think critically. I was able to really get a taste of this during while completing the writing analysis assignment; during the assignment I realized that students are at different levels in a normal classroom, so in the future I need to be able to build on their current tools, and resources to maximize their learning of the material. As a teacher, I should be able to think from different perspectives to adjust material for students who might be struggling more than others. In order to do this, it’s important to provide students with a flexible learning environment, because...

...Thankfully, upon graduation in 2010 from Robert Morris University I was able to quickly find a job that would lead me to wanting to advance my career further and get my masters degree in nursing. Without the many programs made available because of willing nurses to become educators, a lot of us would not be where we are today, myself included. Many people think about the nursing shortage when it comes to bedside nursing and nurses in hospitals. Few rarely think that in order for a person to become a nurse they actually need other nurses that are willing to teach them. As the baby boomer generation gets older, we have to keep in mind that this is also a lot of our nurses in the field right now. According to the Administration on Aging by 2030 there will be 72.1 million people in the United States age 65 and older, which will be about 19% of the population. This number is compared to just 12.4% of the population in the year 2000. Again, not only do these numbers show the advancing age of our population, it shows that a lot of the nurses that we have in the work force right now are going to be retiring within the next 10-15 years. According to the National League for Nursing, in 2007, one out of five nurse educators planned to retire within 3 to 5 years. Unfortunately, projected retirements are expected to far exceed new faculty replacements. Furthermore, if hospitals continue seeking nurses with Bachelor of Science degrees (BSN) for advanced practice, demand for faculty may increase...

...of clinical sites are just a few concerns of nursing programs. Nurse educators seek teaching strategies that promote students that are highly skilled practitioners. Students must learn how to transfer their knowledge and learned skills into their clinical practice. It is the nurse educator’s goal to “produce safe and competent registered nurse” (Reid Searl, Eaton, Vieth, & Happell, 2011, p. 2758). Sufficient clinical experience is challenged as there is an increased demand for nursing schools to produce nurses that are competent, with the increasingly “ill population, coupled with the shortage of faculty” (Sportsman et al., 2009, p. 67). High Fidelity Simulation (HFS) is a method of providing students with clinical experience that is essential in developing the skills and knowledge. Many nursing programs are now using HFS in their curriculum. These simulators “allow students to experience high-risk, low volume patient problems in a realistic setting” (Tuoriniemi & Schott Baer, 2008, p. 105). The HFS are full size mannequins that can respond verbally and physiologically to the students interventions as well as omissions of care (Leigh & Hurst, 2008). The HFS offers students many advantages. This method of clinical training allows students to experience real life like patient encounters that they may not have the opportunity to experience during their clinical training. Nurse educators can correlate HFS with the current topics. Often, there are limited...

...Mid-Main Friends of Bangladesh – Bangladesh Health Project Annual Report June 30, 20121 1. Program development a. Students. This has been another active year but we have had on-going problems with Bangladesh Nursing Council, which refuses to register our graduates. As a result, enrolment has dwindled, so that total enrolment across the four years of the program is about forty students. This is a significant concern, discussed further below. b. Graduates This was a very important year for the College of Nursing, because the first graduates were officially recognized during the third Convocation for the University. In late December, twenty-two BSN graduates had their Certificates of Graduation confirmed by the Government of Bangladesh. In the picture below, some are shown with Pro-Vice-Chancellor Prof. Mahmuda Khanum and Chair, Health Sciences, Dr. Karen Lund. In all about thirty students have graduated. To the best of our knowledge all those who want to be working have found good jobs. Some are working at private hospitals in Bangladesh as ward staff or senior nurses. Others are junior faculty at private nursing colleges in Nepal. A few have emigrated to USA or UK. One graduate successfully applied to a USA accrediting agency for recognition of her BSN credentials in order to apply for graduate school. and there are now about 70 students enrolled in the IUBAT College of Nursing. A few foreign students continue to enrol, but we are mostly seeing enrolment of...

...the child without speaking to them. It also provides us with information by helping us to determine where a child stands in his or her development. This information can be used to put together activities that can help the child’s progress. It also helps educators see what things are right or wrong. When collecting the data we can pick their strongest strengths and help them to continue develop them and branch out to new activities that will help them with any issues they might have and improve in the future. We can learn through observation by writing important details that cannot be notice on a standardized test. Observation is a tool to help us learn about each child, our environment, and our work in caring for children. Also it helps the teacher to identifying the source of a problem (not just the individual child but also his or her environment and the children associated with him/her). Other means of assessments are done once a year. While observing a child you can repeat observations over a period of time can show how a child's development is progressing. The value of observation is very important to anyone that is in contact with a child to have better understanding of their strength and abilities. Teachers/educators can help a child in a timely manner while other assessments you need to wait for the information to arrive and this could take about six months to a year and sometimes it can jeopardize the child’s...

...Lifelong Learning – Preparing for The Future Mildred Tuchez PCN-303 Prof. Readiness: Legal, Ethical, Personal, Professional Responsibilities Grand Canyon University April 20, 2012 With drug and alcohol use being at an all time high and that there are countless millions of Americans struggling with addiction it is important to evaluate the future of addiction treatment and recovery. There are a large number of long-tenured leaders across the spectrum of this field, policy makers, clinical supervisors, researchers, educator to name a few who will be retiring. This in itself will leave a large void. Their will be a great dependence on the new generation of leaders to step up to the plate in their willingness and preparation to insure the continued success of the programs and facilities that are already in place. It is safe to say that not even the long-tenured leaders felt ready for the responsibility they took on at the onset of their careers and the same will apply to the newbie. In order to best equip these new leaders there needs to be a structured course of action or prescription for readiness. Below are some steps I believe will be useful in achieving the goal of preparation. One of the very first steps a professional in any field should take once they have decided that a particular field is for them is to completely commit themselves to the field of choice. Although ...

I am attending Ashford as an online student to further my education, to assist in successfully acquiring employment in my field of study. My Goals and SMART Goals After reflecting upon my past life experiences, the things I want to do, and have always loved, my personal goal is to read through the Bible and my academic goal is to complete my degree in health care. I am able to undertake both of these goals due to my recent retirement allowing me to have the time throughout the day. These two goals will need me to be committed, organized and focused. To complete my personal goal in one year, I will need to get a reading plan and take on the 66 books one at a time. I love to read, but to progress through the Bible in a timely manner, I will need about 30 minutes a day to read somewhere between one to six chapters. I want to attain my academic goal, by completing my Health Care Studies degree within two years. I can accomplish my goal thanks to an Ashford program that allows military members who have earned their Associate degree...

...Education as Conservative and Progressive Chapter 6 of Democracy and Education by John Dewey 1. Education as Formation. We now come to a type of theory which denies the existence of faculties and emphasizes the unique role of subject matter in the development of mental and moral disposition. According to it, education is neither a process of unfolding from within nor is it a training of faculties resident in mind itself. It is rather the formation of mind by setting up certain associations or connections of content by means of a subject matter presented from without. Education proceeds by instruction taken in a strictly literal sense, a building into the mind from without. That education is formative of mind is not questioned; it is the conception already propounded. But formation here has a technical meaning dependent upon the idea of something operating from without. Herbart is the best historical representative of this type of theory. He denies absolutely the existence of innate faculties. The mind is simply endowed with the power of producing various qualities in reaction to the various realities which act upon it. These qualitatively different reactions are called presentations (Vorstellungen). Every presentation once called into being persists; it may be driven below the "threshold" of consciousness by new and stronger presentations, produced by the reaction of the soul to new material, but its activity continues by its own inherent momentum, below the surface of consciousness...

...Autobiography My name is Adlemi Larissa Ramos and I would just like to take this time to talk to you a little bit about myself, my family, my past and how it has made me who I am today, my present plans and how I am working on myself to become a better me, and the plans I have for my future. In my family there are six of us. There’s my dad, Jose Luis Ramos, who I hate to say it, but I am just like him. My mom’s name is Rosa Imelda Ramos. She’s not the best, nor the most perfect, but nonetheless, I love her. I have an older brother whose name is Jose Angel Ramos. He sort of the black sheep of the family. He no longer lives with us but boy, how I miss those late-night McDonald’s runs. Next comes me. I don’t always like talking about myself or describing myself because I feel everyone has their own opinion as to “what you’re like.” After me comes my sister, Tiare Monique Ramos. She has quite an attitude, that one. I’ve grown to live with it. After her is my brother, Lineker Kothan Ramos. He’s a “mini-me” of my older brother and the silliest, most sensitive, non-filtered boy ever. Quite the family, huh? I am not married nor do I have any kids but I do have a loving man by my side. I met Ariel Madrid back in 2014 when my schedule in high school changed and I was moved into his chemistry class. Yes, this is the same Ariel Madrid that sits right next to me in class. We have been together now for one year and nine months and in that time period I have learned to love again, I have learned...

...people wish to exchange their present situation through studying in the college. In my opinion, no matter what reason people study in the college for, studying in the college is just a preparation for their future’ life. First of all, students can learn new knowledge and experiences from the studying in the college. There are many teachers, professors with abundant teaching experience who teach students lots of new knowledge and help them to solve the problems in their study. With their help, student can learn a lot of useful basic and professional knowledge which is very helpful for their future’ work. and study. After they finish their study in the college, students go to work in the society and contribute to the different fields. Secondly, students can learn how to arrange their own time reasonably. Before their studying in college, their life often arranged by their parents and their study often arranged by their teachers. It is very different for them to live and study in college, because students studying in college have to arrange their life and study by themselves. They have right to arrange their part time, such as when to get up, when is the sport-time, when to finish the assignment etc. This is very important experience for students’ work and life in the future. Secondly, studying in the college make students having opportunity to live with other student and learn how to cooperate with other people.

...Predicting the future has always been one of the basic interests of social sciences. In the past, leaders who wanted to gain or sustain power were used to consult oracles before deciding on critical issues. Today, the social scientists who try to minimize uncertainty about future are the modern oracles using modern technological capabilities. Social science studies are ment to provide practice-oriented results which can be used for the benefits of humanity. Not only should social sciences explain the past or the present, but also anticipate the future thorough establishing laws of behavior and structural patterns. Especially in international relations studies, predicting the future is critically important for humanity in order to provide early warning of conflict and other disasters related to human race. In this respect, trying to find a proper answer to the question of ‘’Is the behaviour of the states predictable?’’ makes up a crucial issue. Moreover, making decision in governing of the state is similar to playing chess. In order to be succesful in the chess, one must consider a lot of variables, need to know the rules of the chess, the motive behind the opponent’s each move/potential moves, continiously observe his or her movements and utilize a strategy. As in chess, for being able to make accurate predictions in political events, many requirements are esential. For instance, prior knowledge (background), systematically collected data and experts who use these inputs...

...Eugenesis – William McIlvanney Eugenesis is a poem written by William McIlvanney, based on what I suspect is his depiction of humanity in the not so near future. Instead of taking you through the whole poem word for word, what I’m going to do is take a few good examples of metaphor, simile and personification and use these to discuss the effectiveness of McIlvanneys depiction of humanity. Firstly I am going to discuss similes, one of the first similes you come across when reading this poem is “The rockets lay, like molar monuments“. This is almost both simile and personification, due to the use of the word “lay” suggesting that they lay the way in which people would, but I will be focusing more on the simile side of things. The part “Like molar monuments” catches my eye the most and gives me a lot more to think about. This gives off the illusion that the rockets were dotted around the place, in no particular order, lifeless and motionless but because of the use of the word “molar”, it suggests that no matter how motionless and lifeless they are, they’re still strong and sturdy. “it was too late, the world ran like a rash” is another simile, this time suggesting that something devastating must have happened for the world to suddenly run off. “Ran like a rash.” Gives the effect that they ran quickly, as if scurrying cautiously, it also shows that the population of the world didn’t just disappear, the spread out across the face of the earth before fading away subtly. I also...
