...Green Meadows Hospital is newly constructed community hospital owned by Southern Hospitals Corporation. Kate Cooper was very excited when she got a new position at Green Meadows as a Manager of Adult Services. They started hiring people and were getting ready to open the hospital. However, things did not go well as they planned and wanted to. Therefore, Kate had to resign. The biggest problem that I see in this was their unorganized management skills and communications skills. They should have more prepared since they were new hospital and related to people’s lives but from the beginning, it seemed like they did not think that it was a big of deal and just went it the flow. Communications at Green Meadows Hospital is more likely one way communication. It started out with 2 way communication model somehow, but it ended up having just one way communication model. At first, Alan seemed like he understood Kate’s situation and encouraged her with her getting higher education and seemed like he was going to be a strong supporter. However, it didn’t really work out. It was always him giving her too much work when even she told him that she does not think that she can handle all the responsibilities and works due to her duties and school. Also, There were never really clear communication or/and understanding among Doug, Alan, and Kate. 2 way communication model would have fixed their problems. Even though one way communication is a lot easier and faster, using 2 way communication...

...His Only With the gentle cracklings of the dusty record player jumping back with each rotation. With a room that had a scent of musk and stale perfume. In the cold white hospital room, the two lovers held hands for what may be the last time. June laid in the pearl white bed with Sydney on the green stool holding her hand waiting for her to wake one last time. The sweet young nurse entered the room in her bright pink scrubs, with a tear in her eye to set the record back to the beginning, Sydney started to sing along with his rusty voice that stood out amongst the beeping machines and the defining silent halls. Softly if only for his beautiful wife he sung. His face carried a gentle smile that helped hide his mournful eyes. As June’s eyes opened...

...Introduction Wireless internet has now become a way of life. It is all around us. Our society has now moved from the ability of being linked by a cord to access the internet to the availability of accessing the world wide web by using wireless capabilities. The way we receive news and media has changed since the invention of wireless. This technology has become so common that one may rarely think about it at all when using it. The days of plugging up a computer to an Ethernet cord to be connected to the internet has become a thing of the past. Surely this method is of course still used, but it has become a less modern way to connect to the World Wide Web. When you want to see what the weather forecast will be in your area, it is as simple as opening up your phone and punching in your zip code. It has also made the ability for ratings to be gathered for televsision shows using netowrking sites such as twitter and facebook. These sites can be access through wireless on mobile phones (Spangler, 2011). Presently more applications are being developed that allow the use of wireless internet. These applications can be downloaded for celluar phones, tablets, ipads, and ipods. One application that I have used is an application called Kazzam. This application is truly amazing and I has been helpful in several situations. Have you ever heard a song that you loved and could not get it out of your head? Everywhere you go you are always hearing this song and you wonder who is the artist...

...The Bathroom of Tomorrow: What a Way to Go By: Douglas Page Everyone wonders what the bathroom of the future will be like. Okay, maybe they don't, but it hasn't stopped engineers in the division of Non-Burning Issues from designing what can euphemistically be called the bathroom of tomorrow—an oasis of comfort, elegance, rest, and meditation essential to contemporary living. Since the bathroom is the one place in the home where we are likely to be alone, designers of the future are creating the perfect chamber where we can properly obsess on attitude and appearance. At Philips, the Dutch electronics giant, engineers have dreamed up several pie-in-the-sky gadgets that could begin to enhance the care and grooming experience by 2005. They began with the mirror. Remember when flossing used to be simple? The seers at Philips have modified bathroom mirrors almost beyond recognition. The mirrored door, over the sink and on the medicine chest, previously used only for thoughts of who-is-the-fairest, is now another entertainment and information center, offering a picture-in-a-picture window on the televised world. Since nature doesn't always call at the best times, soon you won't have to miss any of those great Super Bowl commercials. The sink mirror goes hand in hand with the flexible pullout mirror, featuring a magnifying camera lens attached to a flexible arm for correct positioning and that complete hands-free body inspection we've all been missing. Under the mirror...

...Windshield Survey Hayden Idaho Geographic Assessment My community is Hayden Lake Idaho, zip code 83835. Hayden Lake is in Kootenai County and located in the northern part of the state about 90 miles from the Canadian border. Hayden Lake shares the same zip code as the city of Hayden located next door to it. Size is 0.68 square miles. Elevation: 2,239 feet and there is 40 miles of shore line (City-Data.com, n.d.). The shore line is heavily populated with homes and has little public access. Hayden Lake is fed by streams and springs. Population is 575. Coeur d’Alene Indians initially inhabited the area around Hayden Lake. The area provided excellent hunting and fishing, and an abundant supply of huckleberries and bulbs. Good huckleberry picking still exists within a few miles from Hayden. Hayden Lake was formed by glacial activity and prehistorically was a hunter and gather society. This has helped to shape Hayden Lake into what it is today. Hayden Lake residents are heavily into big game hunting, growing our own food, canning, and big on out doors activities. The boundaries of Hayden Lake are Hayden lake shore line, government way, north Lakeview rd., and Honey Suckle Dr. Highway 95 runs north and south through the city of Hayden and can easily be reached from just about any road in Hayden Lake. There is a railroad in nearby Rathdrum however it does not run through or border Hayden Lake. Housing in Hayden Lake is a mix of new development track homes that are close together...

The paper will discuss the main dangers of classification identified as labelling and Stigma which have lifelong implications for those diagnosed with a mental illness. The main advantages of classification such as most appropriate treatment and community education Definition of the Classification system used to Diagnosis Mental illness. As Social workers it important to try and grasp the concepts of how classification of mental illness is arrived at and to have a basic knowledge of the types of mental disorders people can be classified as having so we can understand the basis of a diagnosis. According Mendelson (2001) “Classification refers to ordering of objects into groups on the basis of their relationship. The result is a classificatory system. Nomenclature related to agreed names that have been assigned to disease or syndromes. Taxonomy covers principles and methods underlying the practice of classification. Finally, nosology denotes the conceptual system that supports the strategy of classifying.” ( Mendelson 2001 p. 63) Golightley (2004) text states that classification is an important step towards the diagnosis of a mental disorder. Mental disorder is broken down into various classifications that represent groups or syndromes of symptoms. Thus if a series of symptoms fits into...

This paper will also develop health resolutions and suggestions that are to be taken in to consideration with a resources profile and analysis. The research provided, focusing on the iron triangle made up of cost, access, and quality; will identify alarming health problems with increases and/or decreases to access and quality taken from legitimate sources and government data and surveys. The future consequences of these following problems, how Plumas County's health professionals plan to act on them, and recommendations to generate solutions will also be presented. A population research conducted in 2013, the "United States Census Bureau" estimated a total population of 18,859 residents in Plumas County making up .05% of California's total population estimated at 38,332,521.
