...Running head: WHAT ARE THE REQUIRMENTS TO BECOME A PHARMACIST? 1 What are the Requirements to Become A Pharmacist? Review of the Pharmaceutical Life Insert Name Lone Star College Cy-Fair Author Note This paper was prepared for English 1301 taught by Professor Jamil Summer. WHAT ARE THE REQUIREMENTS TO BECOME A PHARMACIST? 2 ABSTRACT A pharmacist is a healthcare professional who is a expert on pharmaceutical drugs and how they act to fight disease and improve the heath of the patient. Pharmacists are responsible for the implementation of drug therapy with the intention of improving the quality of a patient’s life. Some examples of such improvements include curing diseases, reducing or eliminating a patient’s symptoms, slowing the process of a disease, and preventing disease. A pharmacist works with patients and other healthcare professionals in order to design, implement, and monitor a drug therapy plan specifically designed for that patient. Not only do pharmacists advise doctors and patients on prescription drugs, but they also provide information on the best medications that can be purchased “over the counter”. The most common goal of pharmacists is to move beyond their traditional role of simply dispensing medication and deal with patients more directly and on a more personal level. They strive to be a source of advice on medications for both heath-care professionals and patients. They also are dedicated to providing individualized services...

...Since then, I have become even more familiar with the terms of HIPPA while working at our local pharmacy for over two years now. The confidentiality, privacy and security of a patient is vitally important. Patients must feel extremely comfortable with providing their private health care information. Also, patients who allow their health care provider to use the patient information given will benefit the healthcare provider when providing necessary treatment for the patient. With the access of electronic medical information, this plays a huge role in the quality of patient care. Doctors/Therapist can now use this information to help make the best decisions they see fit. Without the cooperation of the patient given the medical information needed, patients could see a delay in clinical management decisions and could badly impact patient care. With the majority of the patients you will interact with there will be no problem with sharing medical information, but not everyone will be cooperative. Some patients may have the doubt/question of who will be able to access my information? How can I know my information is secure from any loss, theft or even hacking? Why do I have to provide this information? The patient has every right to have these question answered. The privacy of a patient is up to the health care provider to make sure the information is secured and not breached. We as health care providers must not avoid the questions and just assume that our systems will never be tampered...

Such services include consultations and providing more understandable information about the side effects of the medications that the patient is receiving. More than 1,000 years ago, religious and magic practitioners controlled the medical aspects of people’s lives. They believed that many aspects of disease were beyond observation...

...Personal Values and their Interaction with Organizational Ethics Carl Stevens Old Dominion University Abstract Boone and Kurtz (2011) define business ethics as “the standards of conduct and moral values governing actions and decisions in the work environment” (p. 34). This paper discusses how an individual’s value system may clash (both positively and negatively) with the ethical standards dictated by an organization. Our exploration deals with the study of how organizations define ethical behavior and what employees must do to adhere to those standards. On occasion, what an organization may view as ethical behavior does not correspond with an employee’s personal belief system of what is right and wrong. This is especially true when Upper Management openly ignores what a reasonable person would view as unethical. But despite what they think, employees are not immune to unethical conduct and could find it very easy to be swayed into making the wrong decision. (Anderson, Escher, 2010) When these opposing value systems collide during the decision making process, an ethical dilemma occurs, (Hellriegel, Slocum, 2011) We will discover more about this contrast in morality with a case study of Valarie Young, a marketing manager faced with a difficult decision. Personal Values and their Interaction with Organizational Ethics The purpose of an organization’s Code of Ethics is to provide employees with guidelines for making ethical decisions in the conduct of their...

...Western Governors University MBA / Human Resources – JDT2 – Task 1 MEMO TO: Arnita Hudson, CEO FROM: Heather Barth, Elementary Division Manager DATE: March 6, 2014 RE: Title VII Claim A) After implementing the new 12-hour / 4-day production shift policy, an employee quit and filed a constructive discharge claim with the EEOC. Constructive discharge is an illegal discriminatory practice in which an employee is forced to resign because of an alleged unbearable work environment. Constructive discharge as a legal concept is relevant to our situation in that an employee has quit, alleging religious discrimination. There are legal arguments that must be proven by the accuser in order for a constructive discharge charge to be upheld. “To constitute a constructive discharge, the employer must deliberately create intolerable working conditions, as perceived by a reasonable person, with the intention of forcing the employee to quit and the employee must actually quit.“ (MOORE v. KUKA WELDING SYSTEMS, 1998) The burden lies on the employee, who must establish that working conditions were so difficult that they were obliged to resign because of a 1) discriminatory reason or 2) reason contrary to a well-defined civic policy such as Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 prohibits an employer from refusing to hire, from firing, or discriminating against a worker in any way based on race, color, religion, sex, or national origin. (National...

...JDT2 – Human Resources Task 1 Lauren Hutcheson ID#: 282778 January 10, 2014 MBA – Healthcare Western Governors University MEMORANDUM To: CEO, Toy Company From: Lauren Hutcheson Date: 10 January 2014 Re: JDT2 Task 1 Human Resources Former Employee’s Constructive Discharge Claim As you have requested, an investigation was conducted regarding a claim of constructive discharge under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Research and review of case law has generated the following summation and recommendations. Constructive Discharge and Title VII In the beginning of this year, and due to the continuing growth and expansion of this company, a revised work schedule was implemented. The new scheduling policy requires production staff to begin twelve-hour work shifts with a four-day on/four-day off rotating schedule. Office staff will remain on an 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 pm Monday through Friday work schedule. An employee was dissatisfied with the new schedule, stating it would require the individual to work on a holy day. Additionally, the employee feels he/she was discriminated against based upon religious beliefs and forced to resign from his/her position. The employee filed a claim against this company of constructive discharge under the Title VII Civil Rights Act of 1964. This is a federal law that prohibits any employer from discriminating employment based upon sex, race, color, nationality, and/or religion. According to the United Stated Equal Employment...

...Roger Wert Early English History – Dr. Reiter Elizabeth1 in English history? As a figure in English and international history, the iconic Elizabeth 1 was a skilled politician and a force to be reckoned with throughout her lifetime in English royal politics. When she ascended to the throne of the nation she oversaw the development of a second tier country into a first tier nation on the forefront of political and economic world geopolitics and economics. She restored a floundering sense of national pride to the people of England and employed such an effective communication style throughout her endeavors that her influence is still studied as a core of MBA curriculum in the universities of today.[1] To properly respect the veneration surrounding the story of Elizabeth in English history, it is important to understand the tumultuous turn of events that eventually brought her to the throne. Recognized today as one of England's most effective, respected, and long-seated monarchs, her path to the throne was never assured, and certainly was not without conflict. It is partly because of her compelling leadership and partly because of her unlikely rise to power that her time on the throne is so impressive today. Elizabeth was born in 1533 to King Henry VIII and his second wife Anne Boleyn. A particularly unique and tumultuous time in the religious landscape of England, Anne was two months pregnant with Elizabeth when Henry split England from the Catholic Church...

National Geographic research indicates that although two thirds of the earth’s surface is covered with water, only 5% of this two thirds is safe for domestic consumption.” (www.aquatreatment.com/deep.html). This research paper examines the market for an in-home water purification system in the Philippines. Our product is the Aquasmart Double Filter Under Sink Water Purification System, which is designed for home or office use, to provide clean drinking water at a lower cost than bottled water. Our initial target market will be the growing urban middle class of Filipinos. A majority of the Filipino population live in rural regions, and are involved in the agricultural economy. However, urban centers are growing quickly as the Philippines gradually shift from an agriculturally-based economy to an urban-based modern industrial economy. Urban residence currently accounts for 45% of the Philippine population, but as migration patterns continue...

...EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Employees are the most important determinant and leading factor that determine the success of an organization in a competitive environment. This is especially true for service organizations that rely heavily on their good behavioural employees to provide friendly and courteous services to their customers in this competitive environment. Job satisfaction refers to “a collection of attitudes that workers have about their jobs”. These attitudes may derive from a facet of satisfaction or as an overall aspect of the job; however, the focus of the study is on job satisfaction in the most general term. It is very important to study whether employees are satisfied, because it is intuitively believed that workers who are more satisfied will likely exhibit more positive feelings, thoughts, and actions toward their job. Similarly, studying about whether employees are committed to the organization that they work for is important. By definition, organizational commitment refers to “an attitude that reflects the strength of the linkage between an employee and an organization” The purpose of this study is to analyse the job satisfaction. The study was conducted on Uday Samudra Leisure Beach Hotel Kovalam. Employee’s productivity is largely related to their level of job satisfaction and in fact, the turnover rate can be reduced with a higher level of organizational commitment. Altogether, fifty employees were surveyed for the study. From the survey it is clear...
