...How Magnet Designation Drives Healthcare Change in Institutions A Professional Practice Model (PPM) is a plan that represents the culture of an organization involving their beliefs, values, theories, and systems for nursing practice. A PPM outlines the elements of nursing practice in a way that brings meaning and significance to our daily work. Reinforcing the relationship between nurses and patients is the primary goal of a PPM. The Magnet Model provides a framework to achieve excellence in nursing practice and serves as a road map for organizations seeking Magnet recognition (American Nurses’ Credentialing Center website, 2015, para. 1). What is a Magnet Hospital? The American Nurses’ Credentialing Center (ANCC), which is an affiliate of the American Nurses Association (ANA), recognizes hospitals that comply with standards intended to assess the quality and strength of their nursing. These hospitals are known as Magnet hospitals. By achieving Magnet status, a hospital is affirmed to be one with a high level of job satisfaction, a low staff nurse turnover rate, and proper grievance resolution. There is also a great emphasis placed on staff nursing involvement in data collection and decision-making in patient care delivery. Nurse leaders are encouraged to value clinical feedback from staff nurses to help establish and advance researched-based nursing practices. Magnet hospitals are expected to obtain best patient outcomes by establishing appropriate personnel...

...Abstract The aim of this study was to develop and evaluate a gadolinium - barium sulfate solution for use in both conventional and MR enteroclysis. Eighteen vials of 20% barium sulfate and various gadolinium concentrations (lower 2.5 ml/lt, higher 45 ml/lt) were prepared and placed in the magnet. The imaging protocol was consisted of the following sequences: true FISP, HASTE with fat saturation and 3d FLASH with fat saturation in various flip angles. The lowest gadolinium concentration in the barium sulfate solution generating low intraluminal signal on HASTE and high intraluminal signal on true FISP and 3d FLASH sequences was 15 ml/lt. Ten patients underwent conventional enteroclysis with 1.5 lt of 20% barium sulfate enema and 22.5 ml of gadolinium. MR Enteroclysis was performed afterwards using true FISP, fat suppressed 3d FLASH and fat suppressed HASTE sequences. In all patients the proposed contrast medium acted as positive in 3d FLASH (T1w), true FISP (T2/T1 w) and as a negative in HASTE (T2w). In conclusion, a 20% barium sulfate enema with 15 ml/lt gadolinium is appropriate for conventional and MR Enteroclysis studies. Keywords: MRI, contrast medium, gadolinium, Crohn's disease, Enteroclysis Text Introduction Fast and ultrafast sequences, high performance gradient coils and dedicated abdominal phased array coils resulted in significant improvement in MR Imaging of the small bowel (SB).

...CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION A person's education is one of the most important factors in determining whether or not they will become a productive member of society. That is why when considering an education the quality of the education is almost as important as the education itself. So when private schools came into the picture the debate then began between public and private schools. There have been many discrepancies between the values of a public school as opposed to a private school. Advocates of private school argue that the education received in one of these facilities is more valuable and rewarding than any other educational opportunity (Greifner, 2007). On the other hand, supporters of public schools feel that the students are better-rounded, both scholastically and worldly, when in public schools. Many feel that public exposes students to all types of diversity and situations that will make them better adapted for the real world (Kennedy, 2007). Statement of the Problem It seems most people are of the opinion that private schools are superior; the issue is simply if it is worth the money. However, this may not be the case. Therefore, how does one gauge the superiority of a school? This very difficult question has no easy answers. The most common and maybe the only way researchers can create and measure the effectiveness of a school is by measuring achievement. The American Heritage Dictionary seems to define achievement as “something that has been accomplished successfully...

...WATSON'S THEORY 2 Abstract Dr. Jean Watson's Theory of Human Caring was released in 1979, and has continued to evolve over the past three decades. Watson's theory describes a philosophical foundation for nursing, which puts caring at the center of practice. It focuses on patient centered care, with emphasis on developing a trusting mutual bond. The caring environment allows for optimal health promotion, growth, empowerment, and disease prevention. The present paper discusses the theory's main concepts, and the significance of the model to nurses, nurse practioners, and health organizations. As well as, how the theory applies to my personal nursing philosophy. WATSON'S THEORY 3 Watson's Theory of Human Caring Many people choose to go into the field of nursing because of one's love to provide care for others. However, with the advancement in medical technology, task-oriented mentalities, heavy patient loads due to nursing shortages, and high paced environments, developing a caring relationship with a patient tends to take a backseat (Watson, 2009). Many organizations have shifted their practices to focus on patient-centered care. St. Luke's Medical center, the organization I work for, believes that caring for the whole person helps create a more personalized healing environment. This allows caregivers to focus on healing the mind, body, and spirit of the patient (Aurora Health Care, 2012). In my profession, I work hard to try and...

...Disorder: “Eating disorders are a serious mental illness, not a lifestyle choice.” Millions of people have to deal with inner demons on a daily basis, some more serious than others but one that is severe, is Pica disorder. Pica disorder is an eating disorder where people have an appetite for non-nutritive, inedible materials and become addicted to eating items such as clay, nail polish, drywall, light bulbs and much more. This disorder causes victims to eat unimaginable things and causes many medical problems in the process. Some doctors believe that this disorder is just complication of the mental psyche, but there is more underlying issues that cause this disorder. Thus, Pica disorder is caused by a combination of biochemical, environmental and psychological factors. Biochemical factors are located in the brain and are chemical or mineral that control our brians health. A patient can have an abundance or a shortage of certain chemical or mineral, which can cause serious problems within the brains processes. Many victims that have pica disorder, have severe iron and zinc deficiency. Therefore patients begin to crave certain item that one would not normally desire such as magnets, light bulbs, nail polish, and much more that contain high amounts of iron and zinc in there make up. They tend to eat an abundance of materials that satisfy what there body is craving. At some point the victims tend to believe that what they are ingesting is helping them so they continue...

...Montessori: Evolving Toward a Public Secondary School in the 21st Century Nadia Bryden November 7, 2012 Abstract The educational community has long been familiar with the Montessori method for its international ability to remediate or engage children who are, for any number of reasons, not suited to traditional public schooling. This paper examines the basis of the need for alternative schooling, outlines the development and evolution of the Montessori method and philosophy, and validates the methodology in research, providing a side-by-side comparison for examination of relative strengths and weaknesses of the program. For 21st century school reformists seeking alternative methods of education or an individualized, child-centered curriculum, Montessori presents itself as an adaptive, hands-on, future-friendly option for the democratic community as it evolves toward offering a full preschool to secondary public program. Keywords: Montessori, constructivism, independence, Dewey, progressive, alternative education Montessori: Evolving Toward a Public Secondary School in the 21st Century Since the time of early philosophers such as Socrates, Aristotle and Plato, to whom we can trace the traditional subjects of the common core curriculum, there have been heated political and social debates surrounding the field of education. Rather than being discouraged by their recurrent nature, academic planners and developers must examine these questions anew to refresh our views...

...Innovation as a Change Process Abstract: Harper & Leicht, (2007) adequately relate on page 228 of the textbook, “Exploring Social Change: America and the World,” that innovation stimulates change by: (1) the discovery or invention of novelty; (2) its communication to others; and (3) its adoption or rejection by people in society (Harper & Leicht, 2007, p. 228). It is important to make a distinction between invention and innovation. Invention is the first occurrence of an idea for a new product or process while innovation is an attempt put it into practice and the actualization or realization of an invention, whether it would be a societal benefit, commercialization, market entry, or monetization. Thesis Statement and Introduction: Innovation is necessary for any type of change process to be effective. On page 229 of the textbook relates that innovation is a basis of social change, technological innovations have socio-cultural dimensions with complex and often unpredictable consequences when widely adopted and complex factors shape their spread, adoption, or rejection within human communities and societies. Change often (page 227) happens by innovations and discoveries within society, both scientific/technical and socio-cultural. Innovative action involves a linkage or fusion of two or more elements that have not been previously joined in just this fashion. This results in a qualitatively whole. The textbook further relates that all innovation results from combinations...

...DISSERTATION Title “Affect of Gold Prices on the Stock Market of Pakistan" Abstract The research is on the impact of gold prices on the stock market of Pakistan. With an increase in gold prices investors find it more profitable to invest their money into gold as the value of gold per gram is high due to its increased demand. When investors invest into gold naturally they don’t have money to invest in other places like stocks thus stock market is affected by gold prices. The attractive gold price takes the attention of the investor and as a result less investment in stock is made and stock market suffers. This paper aims to find this relationship between stock market and gold prices. In this research Karachi stock exchange has been considered as the stock market to see the relationship with gold prices. ADF unit root test and granger causality test have been used in this research. The results showed that data series for both gold and KSE 100 index has integration at first order. The results also showed that there is a relationship between stock market and gold prices and the relationship is bidirectional. Gold prices affect the Karachi stock exchange and Karachi stock exchange also affects gold prices. Keywords: Gold prices, stock market, gold price and stock market, gold and stock market relationship.

...(hypnotherapy), beneficial corrections may be given directly to your unconscious mind”, according to the BSCH at http://BSCH.org.uk/hypnotherapy.htm (2007). Therefore, Hypnotherapy appears to be the therapeutic work done between the client and the Hypnotherapist in order for advantageous changes to occur within the clients (unconscious) mind. Ancient history highlights Hypnosis used by the Egyptians through pictorial evidence of people standing over another making what is assumed hypnotic hand motions, but interpretation of such is difficult, (Waterfield 2004). Modern history starts with Franz Anton Mesmer’s (1733-1815) early notions on ‘universal gravitational fluid’ whereby the planets influence fluid inside the human body. Initial healing used magnets owing Mesmer to change his terminology to ‘animal magnetism.’ Mesmer conceived that an individual would become well again through the transference of animal magnetism (from himself or a magnetized object) to the patient, restoring the flow. However, due to Mesmer being a faithful materialist, a failure to see the power of suggestion occurred, (Waterfield 2004). Armand-Marc-Jacques Chastanet, Marquis de Puységur (1783) believed...
