...I play many roles. On most days, I am a wife, a mother, a daughter, a student, and a veterinary assistant. When I was 12 years old I lost my father from a heart attack because he was misdiagnosed by a Navy doctor while he was still on Active Duty. When the Zika outbreak reached North America, I was nervous to travel for a destination wedding in Mexico because I was 14 weeks pregnant. As a new mother, I have felt the baby blues, the pressure of losing the pregnancy weight, and the disappointment of not being able to breastfeed my child until her first birthday. I was outraged when I found out that my infant daughter may have been exposed to chicken pox at daycare because a parent refused to vaccinate their child. As a student nurse, I have seen nurses and patients get frustrated because the patient to nurse ratio was too high. In class, I always chose to sit at the back of the room because I did not want to get sick whenever other students coughed or sneezed. As a veterinary assistant, I am often vexed by the pet owners who refuse treatment for their pets that need it. Sometimes I get anxious for my safety whenever I go to work. Besides having to restrain aggressive animals, I could recall the time when I almost fainted in the surgery suite because the anesthetic gas scavenging system was off. During our three-year...

...granted. I take for granted the fact that I can drive 1400 miles to see my family for Christmas or that I can go online and order whatever book I want. Yet, doing these things is an amazing feat, because I am lucky enough to belong to a country that values my freedom. With this freedom I have been able to gain both a B.S. and M.S. degree in biology. Now I am continuing to pursue my education at Tufts’ Cummings School of Veterinary Medicine. As I take on a doctorate in veterinary medicine I am faced with many decisions. How can I make my career path as fulfilling as possible? What specialty should I focus on? Can I ensure myself a prosperous future? It is with these questions in mind that I have pursued the Health Professions Scholarship Program. Through my research into the program, I was delighted to find that there is a plethora of opportunities for specializing. I could attain a Ph.D. in public health, pursue a residency in pathology, or specialize in comparative medicine. In addition, the marine mammal program, through the Navy, intrigued me given my background in wildlife (I have...

...I had an opportunity to job shadow at Kryder Veterinary Clinic and Lincolnway Veterinary Clinic. This was a great way for me to see first hand what my career as a Vet Tech would be like. I got to see dental procedures, water therapy, medication protocols, and many other interesting things that pertain to being a Vet Tech. My first day of shadowing was at Lincolnway Veterinary Clinic. I was introduced to staff and given a tour of the clinic. Once we finished the tour of the clinic I was shown the exam rooms and they explained to me which types of animals normally go into which room. They had a cat room, small dog room, large dog room, a euthanasia room, and a couple other rooms for the busy days. The euthanasia room was set up differently from all the other rooms. It was more comforting and had room for families...

...Wylde. I take that quote into consideration every day, even with my past experiences. I was born November 20, 1997 in Coral Springs Florida. I grew up with my mom, Lori, my step-dad, Ryan, my older sister Nicole and my older brother Joey. Although my father is still in my life, I haven’t lived with him since I was about five years old, due to the fact that my parents divorced at a very young age. When I was about twelve years of age, my sister brought home this adorable little puppy, and named him Rocky, ever since that day, Rocky has become a part of the family and fits in perfectly. When I was around weeks old, I was diagnosed with a disease called, Biliary Atresia, which is a blockage in the tubes that carry a liquid called bile from the liver to the gallbladder. I was in and out of the hospital a lot as a baby, and at one point my parents didn’t think I was going to survive. Thankfully, the procedure went well and I lived. When I turned about 2 years old, I started losing my hair. I was later diagnosed with Alopecia which is a condition that causes round patches of hair loss. It can lead to total hair loss. Going through my schools years without any hair was pretty difficult. I began wearing a wig when I got into Elementary school, but it was very uncomfortable. Although it was a struggle in my life, I never let it get to me. I always knew I would be the same person, with or without hair. I eventually grew all of my hair back in the beginning of 6th grade. To this day, I have...

...The field does not come without it share of controversies, there will come a time that veterinarians will be faced with some moral ethics and veterinarians may be seen as greedy and recommend some unnecessary things. I do agree at times some recommendaations may not be needed to treat the animals’ present problem, but it is up to the veterinarian to stress the importance of why they chose to recommend why that chose specific treatment would benefit the pet. Veterinary medicine has advanced over time and becoming a veterinarian is not an easy task, but you are choosing to be an advocate for the creatures with no voice and your main concern would be to play a hand in the overall well- being of an animal. This is why I chose to follow my passion and pursue my dream in becoming a veterinarian to make a change in a...

Type the abstract of the document here. The abstract is typically a short summary of the contents of the document.] 2012 Nishant Aishwarya Roll Number - 26 Introduction Wildlife includes all non-domesticated plants, animals and other organisms. Domesticating wild plant and animal species for human benefit has occurred many times all over the planet, and has a major impact on the environment, both positive and negative. Wildlife can be found in all ecosystems. Deserts, forests, rain forests, plains, grasslands, and other areas including the most developed urban sites, all have distinct forms of wildlife. While the term in popular culture usually refers to animals that are untouched by human factors, most scientists agree that wildlife around the world is impacted by human activities. Humans have historically tended to separate civilization from wildlife in a number of ways including the legal, social, and moral sense. This has been a reason for debate throughout recorded history. Religions have often declared certain animals to be sacred, and in modern times concern for the natural environment has provoked activists to protest the exploitation of wildlife for human benefit or entertainment. Literature has also made use of the traditional human separation from wildlife. Foods, Pets, Traditional Medicine:...

...promises a huge profit for short and long term, thus create values to the stakeholders. OPHL is facing turbulent business environment and it requires the company to be more aggressive and creative to ensure the sustainability of OPHL. The importance of recognizing new business opportunity has mentioned by Peter Drucker in his theories of Business Diamond Model and Managerial Levers. OPHL also needs to think out of the box in searching new opportunity to be competitive in the market as mentioned by Michael Porter in his Diamond Model. In that theory, Porter says that there are six broad factors; factor conditions, demand conditions, related and supporting industries, firm strategy, structure and rivalry, government and chance, which has become a key tools that interact with each other to create conditions where innovation and improved competitiveness occurs. QUESTION 2 What is the dilemma faced by Mrs. Rahmah? What are the main opportunities identified by OPHL? A recession led to slowdown in economic activity and due to the economic downturn, the poultry farms were preparing to merge among them and significantly reduced OPHL clients to half. After the changes into new policy by Singapore Government in importing poultry meats to the country, it certainly give an impact to the cost of operating poultry farms to go up to doubled. Losing half of the clients which reflected half of OPHL revenues certainly dampened company growth is the...

...Two Business on our doorstep – Continued P3 and P4 I will carry on looking at the 2 businesses; Asda and RSPCA. I will be describing the business organisation, an explanation of the style of the organisation within the business and how it helps them to fulfil their purpose. An organisational structure enables a business to meet their purposes, it divides up the work and establishes lines of control and community. Dividing up work allows a clear understanding of who is doing what. The organisational structure is often a chain of command or line of control and sets out important aspects of how communication takes place. The organisational structure controls organisational activities to avoid conflict and individuals making decisions. The structure depends on the organisations objectives, purpose and strategy. The top layer of the structure usually has the most power and control of the businesses decisions.[1] There are several different organisational structures, these include flat, hierarchical and matrix. They all are in place to make sure that the business is set out in a clear way and is easier to see who is above who. The difference between hierarchical and flat structure is that there may only be two or three levels in a flat structure because they are designed for small businesses like a local hairdressers. [2]The matrix structure is where the employees have dual reporting relationships, generally to both a functional manager and a product manager. It is not set out...

...I have a little more than two years working experience as a nurse on the medical surgical floor that focuses on orthopedic and bariatric patients. I also have another job as a medication assistant at Austin Community College (ACC). This job allows me to collaborate with a nursing instructor by educating level one nursing students in a hospital setting in medication administration safety, basic nursing skills, critical thinking skills, evidence-based practice, core measures, and providing effective and holistic nursing care. My goals as a nurse is to build a trusting relationship with my patients and promote the patient’s sense of control in order to attain quality, holistic health. These goals are very similar with my ACC students. As I assist in teaching them how to reach their potential as a future nurse, I want us to trust each other, and I want them to be autonomous in researching answers themselves to provide quality care. My nursing care before this class was more focused on evidence-based practice since I did not consciously incorporate theory into my bedside practice. This personal framework paper will review my personal values, beliefs, and nursing philosophy in relation to my bedside nursing practice and medication assistant position. I will describe Erickson, Tomlin, and Swain’s Modeling and Role Modeling Theory (MRMT) and how it applies to the nursing metaparadigm and my nursing practice. I will further compare and contrast the theory of Modeling and Role Modeling...

...Military Compensation What is the Total Compensation? Before I take this course, I never even bother to try understanding the total compensation. While I am taking this course and learning the materials, I started to view and understand what could be the total compensation as part of the organization’s strategic planning in human resources management and operations. There are many ways to pay the compensation to its employees. Many people, especially the soldiers care about their base pay. If a soldier’s base pay is $18,000 a year then is it really less than a civilian who gets $20,000 a year as an individual’s total compensation? Most of soldiers and include myself didn’t understand the concept of “what is the Total Compensation.” After I learned this course, I started understand the total compensation and wanted to find out what actually the soldiers getting for their total compensation. The U.S. Army was established over 200 years and increased its size since then. The U.S. Army was founded on 14 June 1775, when the Continental Congress authorized enlistment of riflemen to serve the United Colonies for one year. Active duty soldiers and activated Army Reserve soldiers earn Army basic pay. Basic pay is the soldiers’ base salary as a soldier on active duty and it counts only as part of your total income. It is distributed on the 1st and 15th of every month, similar to many civilian jobs. The Army’s basic pay is depends on how long the soldier enter the Army...

...Maybe I am a little like Sekai-ichi’s main character, Takano Masumune. Everyone I dated made me a little cold in the heart. The more they got serious about me, the more I became cold to them. Also, we both like cats. We both are near-sighted. We both love to read. (But I’m not an editor-in-chief like he is.) And we both are still in love with someone after high school. Okay. Maybe I am a lot like Takano. But just not only in personality. I lay on the couch with my cat lying on my stomach and was purring away. I was petting her gently as possible while I was reading the Sekai-ichi Hatuskoi manga. This volume was back on Ritsu’s point of view. The last one was on Takano’s. He was explaining everything that happens between him and Ritsu. He was really mean to Ritsu then, but I like it how he slowly began to fall for Ritsu’s loving smile. Or was it just him in general? I closed the book and remember the page I was on. It’s been so long since I read the series. I took off my glasses and pinch the bridge of my nose then rubbing my eyes. I have been working my ass off since I graduated from the Early College High School to become an E4 in the Air Force. I was seventeen years old when I enlisted, but I really couldn’t do anything while I was still in high school working on college courses. But I did work on getting at least a 4.0 in my GPA or whatever it was I needed. I was nineteen years old when I graduated from my fifth year in high school and it was the last time I saw any...
