...Virginia Henderson, her theory was named a “need theory” and emphasized importance of maintaining independence so that process after being in the hospital would not be delayed. Categorized nursing into 14 components based on needs. * Her definition of nursing was: "The unique function of the nurse is to assist the individual, sick or well, in the performance of those activities contributing to health or its recovery (or to peaceful death) that he would perform unaided if he had the necessary strength, will or knowledge. And to do this in such a way as to help him gain independence as rapidly as possible" (Henderson, 1966). The 14 components * Breathe normally. Eat and drink adequately. * Eliminate body wastes. * Move and maintain desirable postures. * Sleep and rest. * Select suitable clothes-dress and undress. * Maintain body temperature within normal range by adjusting clothing and modifying environment * Keep the body clean and well groomed and protect the integument * Avoid dangers in the environment and avoid injuring others. * Communicate with others in expressing emotions, needs, fears, or opinions. * Worship according to one’s faith. * Work in such a way that there is a sense of accomplishment. * Play or participate in various forms of recreation. * Learn, discover, or satisfy the curiosity that leads to normal development and health and use the available health facilities.

...I have been asked to review the compensation system practices for Henderson Printing with a view to establishing a common set of principles and practices that are understood by both management and employees of the organization. In addition, it is both logical and desirable to ensure that Henderson Printing is motivating and rewarding a common set of skills and behaviours to all employees consistently in the organization in order for Henderson Printing to be the most viable organization as possible. Findings and Issues: Employees of Henderson Printing need to be feel that they are all being paid fairly at all levels within the organization. Currently there is no formal system of compensation that Henderson Printing follows and employees are being paid at different rates for sometimes the same job and experience level. In addition, Mr. Henderson decisions relating to compensation are done on the “spur of the moment”. His approach lacks rigour and discipline in making any of these decisions. Employees also need to have a common understanding on how the compensation system works and it should also be as transparent as possible. Currently, there is no formal process and there is a lack of clarity to what exactly the policy or process is. As a result, Mr. Henderson is being approached by employees at random as this is the only way employees know how to seek a pay raise for themselves. Most decisions are being made at his sole discretion and judgement due to the lack of organizational...

...Inside General Motors: Communicating through the crisis By Marc Wright http://www.simply-communicate.com/case-studies/internal-communication/inside-general-motors-communicating-through-crisis Katie McBride had the hottest seat in internal communications last year as car giant General Motors filed for Chapter 11 in one of the most dramatic melt-downs of the economic crisis. She came to the IABC World Conference to a sell-out session where she relived her experiences of the last 12 months. This was no small deal – General Motors was – and still is – one of the world’s leading automakers. From its global headquarters in Detroit it directs business in 157 countries around the world, employing some 205,000 people. The company produces cars and trucks in 31 countries, including the US, China, Brazil, Germany, the UK, Canada and Italy selling such brands as Buick, Cadillac, Chevrolet, FAW, GMC, Daewoo, Holden, Jiefang, Opel, Vauxhall and Wuling. McBride has now moved onto other roles at GM but as Head of Employee Communications back in 2009 she drove through a three part strategy. “Our aim was to keep leaders visible and accessible to instill confidence in their direction and the company’s future through open, honest communication that involved the entire leadership team and not just the CEO. Secondly we wanted to reach our whole audience globally in a way that was meaningful and relevant and thirdly use employees as ambassadors for our products.” The first part...

...of the individual so that he can satisfy himself and his effortless 14 basic needs” (Potter and Perry, 1992) Analyzing the role and function of the nurse and enjoying the wide clinical experience, Virginia Henderson offers early 1960 a conceptual model based on fourteen basic needs. Before arriving there, she participated in the publication of a reference book on the principles and practices of nursing which included everything you needed to know at the time when we were nursing. It is also noted here, and among other things, the importance of nutrition, elimination, rest, cleanliness, a body temperature and Recreation regarding the sick. (Schmidt, 1972) For Virginia Henderson, the satisfaction of these needs has become increasingly essential. It in helping to satisfy, in addition to or in assisting the individual, family or group, helping to recover the capacity to do so, or preventing further loss of capacity that would make it difficult to meet the needs. Thus, the fourteen needs direct reading of the realities of health to the nurse. They form a frame of reference, a conception of reality, guide the nurse in identifying manifestations of dependence or independence, which will then guide his actions and his plan of care.( Watson, 2000) Returning to Virginia Henderson states...

...How Nurses are Portrayed in the Media Jennifer Hodges Stevenson University Professional Seminar 1 NURS 313 Dr. L. Paris, RN How Nurses are Portrayed in the Media As far back as one can go in history women have been depicted as the ones who nourish, nurture, and tend to the care of children, aging family members, and the wounded. How nurses have depicted themselves can be expressed not only by their actions, but by the uniforms they have worn over time. The image of Florence Nightingale in her uniform, carrying her lamp and caring for the wounded is an image instilled in nurses’ minds to this day. Unfortunately, this is not the image instilled in the public today. On television nurses are portrayed as sexual beings, and we are being defined as such. Nursing should promote Ms. Nightingales teachings to the public in everyday situations. The Truth About Nursing, a non-profit organization, speaks frequently on the image of nursing and on empowering nurses to change how they are perceived (Geller & Summers, 2014, p. 26). Ms. Summers is the founder and the executive director. The image of nurses is in the hands of each individual nurse. Therefore it is essential for each nurse to take a stand and vocalize his/her role in the medical profession. It is important that nurses remember the past. However, it is even more important that the legacy we leave behind is of a profession that is strong and accurate. We can do this by responding to the negative images...

...Abstract In the opinion of most Bonnie and Clyde where the most famous and most romantically involved criminals in American history, Bonnie Elizabeth Parker and Clyde Chestnut Barrow were two young Texans having and early 1930s crime spree before my time of birth would forever leave their legacy to be criticized by many and envied by most. Most people only live to tell the story of what was expected, but I am here to state the facts of who Bonnie and Clyde really were, grasping your attention, making your mind run full with imagination and placing yourself in the era owned by Bonnie and Clyde the 1930's. Bonnie Elizabeth Parker born October 01, 1910, Clyde Chestnut Barrow born March 24, 1909, both from Dallas, Texas and ambushed in Bienville Parrish, Louisiana on May 23, 1934 killed at least nine officers and other civilians, leaving Bonnie to always have her name placed first in the matter, as do to respect that ladies always come first. As most would lead you to believe by all the hype, what they say was a reality for the two young lovers, this let's the listener carry the idea of Bonnie and Clyde in all their fancy clothes, and broke all the rules of the norm. Bonnie and Clyde never feared the law and lived a life of infamous luxury keeping them on the run. Reality was different, Bonnie and Clyde and the Barrow gang lived a hard, uneasy life left by narrow escapes, botched robberies, injury, and murder. They became one of the first outlaw media stars after...

...The Virginia Henderson Need Theory Samantha Hodge Estrella Mountain Community College English 102 Professor Jason Guertin December 18, 2015 The Virginia Henderson Theory Nursing theories have been in existence for many years, however, the use of these theories in practice have been minimal (Younas & Sommer 2015). In many nursing schools however, students are mandated to apply nursing theories. Application of these have indicated improved organization in practice and higher quality of care, while in reality practicing nurses do not utilized these teachings (Younas & Sommer 2015). In this paper, Virginia Henderson Theory will be analyzed to show how it can be applied to the clinical setting. The components of this theory as it relates to human needs will be examined and the nurse’s role with regards to patient care. The Need Theory Henderson’s theory surrounds the concept of getting the patient to a state of independence, so as to promote continued wellness after hospitalization (Younas & Sommer 2015). The theory also grouped nursing care into fourteen components which are very similar to Maslow’s hierarchy of needs diagram. These needs range from physiological needs, which accounts for the first nine components to psychological needs which covers the tenth and fourteenth components (Younas & Sommer 2015). The eleventh component deals with the patient’s spiritual and moral needs, and the remaining two components are sociological...

...Walt Henderson Case The Wilson Construction Company (WCC), which employs about thirty drafting technicians, produces two-dimensional and three-dimensional objects (Henderson 1). Computer-assisted design and drafting (CAADD) is an important technological tool used by all WCC’s technicians. The company’s drafting technicians are constantly supervised by two inspectors who are in charge of controlling technicians during business hours. While Walt Henderson, who is one of the company’s technician, was performing a plan for personal benefit, the supervisor, Ken Hardy told Henderson that working on things not related to the company is totally prohibited during business hours. Henderson thought that working extra hours and having all his work done before the end of the day gave him the right to do whatever he wanted. We can say that the discussion between Henderson and Hardy was mainly about Henderson’s attitude during working hours. We can define attitudes as evaluative statements or judgments about specific objects, people, or even events (Robbins and Judge 66). Analyzing and answering specific questions about the Henderson case, will be the main topic of this paper. Most companies have a clear code of conduct that indicates what an employee can and cannot do during business hours. In this case, it is evident that Walt Henderson has a negative attitude towards his superior. According to Ken Hardy, Henderson had already been caught working on things that were not related to...

...Women in the Pulpit? In churches today women outnumber men in the congregation and women have been teaching classes, heading ministries, and are evangelist. Even though women have filled these roles in the church why is there controversy in the church about women having the right to be ordained preachers. Before doing research and reading my sources I had only heard of a few women preachers who were pastors of churches and I have come in contact with many male pastors who do not believe that a woman is able to preach the word of God in the pulpit. They address them as speakers and evangelists but, not as reverend or pastor. Many male pastors I have come in contact with will not even let a woman stand in their pulpit. They often set a podium on the side of the pulpit. Pastor Marie Nutall of College Station, Texas has body guards because of the death threats that she has received (Nutall). I was not aware of the violence that some women preachers face while trying to preach God’s word. According to Reverend Richard Allen, women were not called to preach for the simple fact that Jesus chose twelve men to be his disciples (Booth 109). This argument has been heard throughout the church, but Professor William H. Myers argues that there are twenty-two different instances where women had been called to preach the word (112). Many people use scriptures to validate their points on why women should not and cannot be preachers. Believers of the word tend to follow along with...
