...other after all the term synonymous with both levels is a registered nurse (RN). The ANA definition of nursing is "Nursing is the protection, promotion, and optimization of health and abilities, prevention of illness and injury, alleviation of suffering through the diagnosis and treatment of human response, and advocacy in the care of individuals, families, communities, and populations" (www.nursingworld.org). The ANA made no reference to the level of preparedness required to achieve the defined scope. On one hand, one might argue that the Associate Degree Nurse (ADN) and a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) both sat for and passed the same NCLEX-RN examination (www.aacn.nche.edu). On the other, the medical field in general continues to advocate investment in the baccalaureate prepared nurse in its effort to substantially reduce adverse outcomes for patients. Magnet hospitals are actively transitioning the ADN degree holder to a BSN degree and requiring a BSN degree as a criterion for hiring. The same is seen in the U.S Navy, the U.S Army and the U.S Air Force in their effort to provide the best patient care - now requires a BSN degree from all active duty nurses (www.aacn.nche.edu)....

She was a significant founding settler in the early histories of the colonies of Maryland and Virginia.

...The Functional Roles of Human Resource Bernard Jackson Human Resources Management MBA 533 August 18, 2013 Abstract Many large, middle-sized and even small business organizations have a functional human resources department. The functional roles of an HR department remain the same regardless of the size of your business. As the name indicates, the department exists to manage and assist the human element of the company. Since human capital is the most important asset of any organization, having an efficient and quality human resources department is key to the quality and success of the organization. Human resources functional activity supports strategic initiatives. Strategic planning drives functional or transactional processes. HR managers are capable of implementing strategy and carrying out activities that support their strategic plans. Typically, a human resources manager or director develops department strategy depending on the functional expertise of HR specialists. Generally, HR is the process of managing and motivating employees. Some roles of HR vary based on the organization, but there are a number of common functions that are constant. If HR is effective, employees across the company produce optimal results. The functional roles of any Human Resource department varies but the duties are key to the success of any organization. Recruitment and hiring the right people, putting them in the right positions for their abilities and skills is crucial...

...By allowing the drugs to be imported even from our neighboring countries Canada and Mexico would cost millions of dollars and put at risk the feeblest of patients. The lack of regulations on where the drugs originate and amount of laboratory testing that an operation of that caliber would require makes more sense to not allow importation at all. Here it is being said again this time by Doug Schoen a Forbes contributor “Imported prescription drugs are neither safe nor dependable. Foreign drug makers are notorious for producing untested counterfeit drugs, even in unsterile conditions” (Schoen 2017). Drugs from other countries are cheaper, however there is health risks involved when the medication bought is ineffective or in some cases...

...During the late 1800s and the early 1900s, child labor became popular and very common to the public. Even though it was common, only a few people knew the details of the punishment and pain children were put through to get a small amount of money to support their families. Children weren’t able to get an education and were forced to work at as young four. Many got diseases and sicknesses that affected them for the rest of their lives. Unfortunately, many people listened to their heads and not their hearts. Many felt that child labor was wrong, but not very many fought to end it. The dangerous conditions and long hours negatively affected the children that lived it. Without the advocates tirelessly working to stop child labor thousands of children would have lost their lives. As the nation’s economy was expanding, many more factories were being built. As industries grew, the demand for workers also increased. Mill owners hired mainly women and children because they could pay them half the salary they would have to pay men. Children were also hired because of their size. Since they were normally smaller, it was easy for them to go inside and fix the machines or to change spindles. Soon, many businesses were using children as part of their regular work force. Since children could be hired cheaply and were too young to complain, they were often employed to replace adult workers. In industries where large numbers of children were employed, their low wages pulled...

...founder of Ikea Ingvar Kamprad stated that what is good for their customers is also in the long run good for ikea. Their goal is to create a better everyday life for majority of the people. The starting point for Ikea is always, their customer’s needs and wants. That is why Kamprads idea was to offer a wide range of home furnishings of good design and functionality at a price low enough to be afforded by most people (Edvardsson and Enquist, 2006.) Most customers would want to go shopping and not feel pressured to buy, thus Ikea has very few sales people on the floor, and they are rather more of a help aid in locating the items which are stored at the market hall section, often located at the end of the store. They also have special QR codes in case a customer wants to learn more about a specific product. With Ikea’s concentration on individual marketing rather than mass marketing, also takes into consideration the needs and wants of each country. For instance beds are bigger for the U.S customer (Marketing Week, 1996.) Austria’s taste for seventies corner sofas are satisfied too .A majority of Ikea’s stores are located outside of cities centers primarily because of land cost and traffic assess.(www.wordpress.com) In China the stores are located along rail way lines, so to meet the transportation needs of the masses.

New Labour’s doctrinal statements are analysed to establish to what extent these doctrinal positions involve a repudiation of Keynesianism. Although New Labour has explicitly renounced the ‘fine tuning’ often (somewhat problematically) associated with post-war Keynesian political economy, we argue that they have carved out policy space in which to engage in macroeconomic ‘coarse tuning’ inspired by Keynesian thinking. This capacity...

...As such, the case study answers the following questions: 1) What are the characteristics of the collaborative relationship that have led to the HKC partnership?; 2) What are the barriers and facilitators of working collectively?; and 3) What are the roles of the HKC lead agency, steering committee members, funders, and community members in building collaborative relationships to support a community health intervention? The first research question for the case study examines the coalition formation process, activities, and ways in which this collaboration manifested. The two additional questions directly explore the coalition formation process and management, such as the planning and organizing of the HKC coalition, its history and how it came to selecting a priority activity as part of a community-based health initiative. This discovery-oriented process helped the researcher to further develop and refine questions as a basis for a more rigorous and reflexive inquiry (Agee, 2009;...

...Summary: Planning to protect 4.4 million undocumented immigrants from deportation, president Obama exercises his executive order right to make changes in immigration policy. The new immigration plan will not only protect many unlawful immigrants from being deported but it also gains them access in obtaining driver licenses and social security cards. In another word, they will be legally to work in United States but it offers no path to citizenship. This will open a path for many high skilled workers to the United States labor force. Another major change is that Obama’s action will end a program called Secure Communities, therefore Immigration and Custom Enforcement as well as other law enforcement agencies will begin to priority their focus on criminals and felons rather than working families and security on the border will be increased. While many Americans think this is a righteous move that should have been done long ago to fix our broken immigration policy, the plan is opposed strongly by the Republicans. President Obama has no option but to use his executive action. House Speaker John Boehner states that the president is acting like a king or emperor with his executive action on the new immigration reform. The plan is also facing lawsuit from many different states, but Obama administration believes that the policies could withstand any lawsuit. Obama says in his speech, “The actions I’m taking are not only lawful; they’re the kind of actions taken by every single Republican...

The company was initially set up as a distributor of phone switched before emerging as a comprehensive telecommunication equipment provider supplying network equipment, broadband devices, handsets and convergence devices. Mr. Zen Ren’s training in engineering and the army experience were key in his designing winning strategy that was unique i.e. design original indigenous technology instead of entering into joint venture with established players to the perceived risk of obtaining old or inferior technology and handing advantage to the joint venture partners . The joint venture mechanism was a common approach of most companies at the time desiring to quickly obtain new technologies and establish new production facilities. However, from his analysis this never gave an entrepreneur a chance to grow outside the wings of the partner and in most cases the joint venture partners preferred to bring in old inferior technology...

...HOMOSEXUALITY The issue of homosexuality is gaining ground and spreading like wild fire in this modern age both in the political, social spheres and not sparing the church. It has come out as the term goes, left its closet, and it is knocking on different doors ranging from homes to schools and surprisingly even on the Christian institutions. The advocates of homosexuality have gone to the extent of preaching their doctrine of love, tolerance, equality, and justice through television channels, radio programmes, newspapers, and magazines and going to the point of demonstrating with their banners flying high in different cities of the world and not excluding the major cities of this nation, United Kingdom. The activists of homosexuality do not want to be perceived as abnormal or dangerous not even to be called sinners. Their main goal is that they want to plant a seed of identity in our community; and furthermore they have that zeal at the back of their mind to be received with open and loving hands and if possible to be approved by any denomination. In case of those who are not familiar with the term, homosexuality, it well defined as the scenario whereby beings of the same sex or gender are attracted to each other for sexual fulfilment or gratification. In different countries several issues have been raised in relation to homosexuality. Governments and states are splitting and bills are being introduced by the pro homosexual politicians to ensure that...
