...Vision for the future of nursing Currently, health care in the US has been made accessible and affordable to everyone, as evidenced by the increase in the number of patients in the health care system. The nursing profession is already facing numerous challenges to deliver good quality and safe patient care. Therefore, there is a need for growth in remodeling the nursing profession to meet the high demand of an aging population with more complex needs. The nurses have to quickly adapt to a new world of technology that is complex and sophisticated. The nurse, as the primary health care provider, has the power to provide a consistent environment to the patient. In order to direct the nursing profession forward, professional nursing organizations will have to address the following: expanded role of nurses, the use of evidence- based practice, the value of the nurse’s role in research, and the changing trends in health care. Evidence-based practice and trends in health care and the future of nursing “Evidence for nursing practice comes from research and other sources. Evidence-based practice requires an understanding of how research findings and other evidence inform and guide practice” (Fawcett & Garity, 2009, p. 3). Evidence-based practice (EBP) is developed to help in the delivery of a higher quality of care and the best outcome for patient’s health. In the past, nurses have been performing in their field based on established practices and experiences. Early efforts...

...Nursing, as a profession, continues to be a growing and changing entity. As nurses, we must consider that our future is going to be much different than our past. This presentation will review four major topics that are worth consideration, and hopefully provide food for thought about each nurse’s plans and goals for his or her own career in the future. We will discuss evidence-based practice, nursing theory, research, and nursing roles and opportunities. Each of these topics includes a myriad of ideas, publications, and opportunities for self assessment and growth. Evidence-based nursing, evidenced-based practice, and evidence-based medicine are all based on the idea that health care treatment has transitioned from “practice that was based on intuition, experience, clinical skills and guesswork” to practice based in science (Chitty, 2010, p. 258). This has allowed nurses to make decisions based on research, and to provide the most skilled, advanced, and expert care. Nurses should know where to find research to support evidence-based care decisions. According to Ciliska, Haynes, and Marks (2013), a nurse could review textbooks, online data bases, journal articles, and the internet. One should consider that both consolidated and distilled information resources are available, and remember that distilled information resources do not always provide the most accurate and up to date information. The consolidate resources can be plentiful and one may have some difficulty choosing...

...Vision for the Future of Nursing Speech Dear peers, colleagues, fellow professional nurses, Slide 1: We are here today to discuss the future of nursing, a vision of nursing have you? Here we meet on the heels of a thirty plus year push toward professional legitimacy. Hinging on the precipice of integration of nursing research and utilization of evidence based practice at the bedside. Yet our voice is still clouded by the past. To be the successful force of change which our predecessors knew we were and could be we need to make the final push. Slide 2: As Florence Nightingale once stated “May we hope that when we are all dead and gone, leaders will arise who have been personally experienced in the hard, practical work, the difficulties and the joys of organizing nursing reforms, and who will lead far beyond anything we have done.” That time is now. We live in a time where this vision is actually in reach. The reins of the future of healthcare are obtainable. In the past we made strides, improving patient care on all fronts of healthcare. Now we need to hit the classroom and the boardroom. The future includes a shift from an acute and infectious disease focus to that of a rapidly aging population with chronic disease. In order to meet the challenges of the future we must embrace advanced technology, work on partnerships across the care continuum, encourage collaboration across settings and disciplines, ensure quality and continuity of care and promote nurse led and nurse...

...Leadership Vision A vision is an expression of a desired or passionate service one wants to achieve, which draws on ones innermost potential. It identifies what you are doing, why you are doing it and what you would like to do or see materialize in the future and the reason for that materialization. As leaders, in the healthcare industry, we all have visions that we would like to implement in order to improve the healthcare system we work and live in. “Nurses are central to the mission of promoting optimal levels of health and functional status. Information needs are constant and evolving; health professionals must be responsive and ready with facts and resources”, (Fetter, 1997). Nurses are not only patient caretakers but we are educators, as well. Therefore, one of my visions is for nurses to take on a more active role as a patient educator in efforts to prevent exacerbation, hospitalization and re-hospitalization. As a result of introducing this vision, patients will have a) improved quality of life, b) decreased exacerbation, hospitalization and re-hospitalization, c) increased knowledge and understanding of their disease, d) improved dignity and self esteem, and e) patients will have more autonomy in their care. In order for one to implement ones vision, there are many key concepts that need to be considered and put into place which should incorporate the importance and the impact these concepts will have on the vision. Communicating to patients about the specific...

...como podemos darnos cuenta en que áreas podemos crecer o mejorar para hacer más fuertes nuestras fortalezas y defendernos de las debilidades. Lo que mas me gusto de la conferencia fue que compartió experiencias reales, y anécdotas que le han pasado durante su estancia en ese trabajo, ya que realmente podemos saber a que nos enfrentaremos, en este caso, si llegamos a trabajar en una consultoría. También me gusto que fuera directamente al grano, y explico de manera breve pero muy clara todo lo que se requería, además de que respondió varias dudas de varios alumnos. Como ya mencioné, me parece muy interesante ver como un Ingeniero Industrial puede dedicarse a varias cosas, y algunas muy distintas entre ellas, por lo cual creo nos da una visión hacía el futuro muy amplia para ver hacia donde queremos dirigirnos. Otra cosa que me gusto fueron los diferentes tips para las entrevistas que dio, ya que creo es algo que todos podremos utilizar, cuando sea necesario. Realmente yo no le cambiaría nada, ya que realmente cumplió con explicarnos todo lo que el realiza, así como la empresa donde trabaja y sobre los distintos proyectos en los que ha sido...

...ENSAYO: EL PELIGRO DE PERMANECER EN LA ZONA SEGURA El Peligro de permanecer en la zona segura: Cómo romper con el hábito de la titularidad que acaba con las empresas En gran parte de los análisis empresariales se parte de premisas generales, que den base de comparación global para saber qué lugares tienen las condiciones idóneas para desarrollar un proyecto. Lo anterior se traduce a inversiones y, al menos en México, es benévolamente publicada toda la inversión extranjera. Se desarrollará entonces el presente desde una panorámica nacional con algunos indicadores numéricos comparativos a nivel mundial que ayuden a ejemplificar, desde el punto de vista particular, la observancia de la conducta de titularidad. PricewaterhouseCoopers en su estudio Saratoga1 publicado en febrero pasado indica que México es el país en Latinoamérica con el mayor porcentaje de rotación de personal con el 17.8%, mientras que 11.2% a nivel LATAM, 8.4% para EU y 10% para Europa, por resultado es de los más altos a nivel mundial. Con este dato acerca de rotación, a primera vista, es difícil de considerar que las empresas mexicanas tienen problemas de titularidad, pero a su vez, puede ser causa de la misma. En el contexto propio se aprecian los síntomas de titularidad en todos los órganos socio-económicos, esta conducta de estancamiento que parece estar infiltrada en la cultura. En la opinión poblacional hacia lo gubernamental se dice que la titularidad viene a destruir la mayoría de los intentos de...

...because we believe we don't have any options for anything better. Staying with a job merely because we've found a level of comfort there through familiar faces, routine tasks or a level of salary that we can survive on doesn't mean we've found what can ensure a lifetime of happiness. Many with a college degree who restricted their vision to openings only within their field of expertise have discovered that. Yet, you might be surprised to learn that the percentage of people who are actually working in the field they specifically received a degree in is quite small. In most cases, we major in that which we believe offers the greatest opportunity for success at the time. Newspapers report a severe shortage of engineers and suddenly many of those intent on success major in engineering. Or teaching. Or law. It becomes the 'soup of the day' syndrome. We spend four or more years studying a field and, with the cost involved, we assure ourselves we truly love this avocation. Five or ten years down the road, we discover it's lost its allure. But we allow whatever perks and salary we've achieved to convince us we are locked into this life. Our field of vision shrinks to only that which we currently do. It doesn't make us happy. It doesn't fulfill the dream of what we could be. We accept it because we believe that's the way life is. What we need to do is evaluate what we get out of work versus what we would like to get. Where does money rate on your scale? How about happiness? Work...

...VISION DEL CAMBIO EN CURITIBA La visión de Jaime Lerner está basada en un desarrollo urbanista en el que las personas son el centro del desarrollo de las políticas de gobierno y un crecimiento de la ciudad que no padeciera la problemática de las urbanizaciones comunes. Implica: • Desarrollar iniciativas económicas, rápidas, sencillas, locales y enfocadas a las personas; sin afectar otros sistemas y así proporcionar los servicios necesarios para la comunidad. • Planear con una visión urbanista y desarrollar nuevos procedimientos acordes al crecimiento demográfico de la ciudad y de los problemas presentes. • Generar una conciencia de participación comunitaria en ciudadanos, empresas y gobierno, buscando como objetivo común el desarrollo de Curitiba. • Aprovechar los recursos disponibles. BREVES PROPUESTAS PARA EL LOGRO DEL CAMBIO El éxito del caso Curitiba se debe a que sus propuestas tuvieron un enfoque creativo que permitió dar propuestas integrales a los problemas prioritarios marcados por las necesidades de la ciudad. Principales propuestas: • Cambios y obras aprovechando la naturaleza y sus recursos en vez de ir contra ellos: conservación de áreas verdes, saneamiento de ríos y el uso eficiente del agua • Mejoras en el transporte y uso de suelo • Nuevos procedimientos de salud y los niños, la planeación familiar y el cuidado de los menores en el sector salud. • Asegurar un gobierno transparente y honesto. • Realizar campañas de reciclaje y separación...

...is also affected and reduced by the decrease in elastic property of eye muscles controlling the shape of the lens or the muscles that aid in contraction of lens. Therefore the efficiency of eyes is greatly reduced with increasing age. Ageing also causes changes in the near point of a person. More light is required with increasing age for improved contrast. Nearly double illumination is required for 40 years old people and triple for 60 years old when compared to the young people of about 20 years (Haigh, 1993). The problem of temporary vision impairment caused due to the bright light (glare) also increases with age only. The capability to prevent glare is usually reduced to half in 12 years.

...Lenguaje y cerebro: conexiones entre neurolingüística y psicolingüística M. Jesús Paredes Duarte y Carmen Varo Varo Universidad de Cádiz El estudio de las relaciones entre lenguaje y cerebro constituye un objeto que atañe a muchas y diversas disciplinas. Representa, sin duda, uno de los capítulos más relevantes en el desarrollo histórico de la Psicolingüística y conforma el núcleo principal de los actuales contenidos de la Neurolingüística y su estricta implicación en el tratamiento de los trastornos del lenguaje. Otras muchas perspectivas vienen a crear una visión polimórfica de estas relaciones entre el lenguaje y el cerebro, despertando, no sin inconvenientes, pues a veces se solapan aspectos temáticos en este estudio, una consideración muy completa si tenemos en cuenta los diferentes puntos de vista. Una explicación de por qué el ser humano, frente a otros animales, posee “lenguaje” procede necesariamente del hecho de estar dotado de un cerebro distinto al de otras especies. Por otra parte, desde la perspectiva inversa, podríamos especular que el cerebro humano es diferente al de otros animales como resultado del empleo del lenguaje. Teniendo en cuenta la complementariedad entre estos enfoques, a la hora de tratar la relación entre cerebro y lenguaje, nos parece especialmente ineludible la conexión entre Psicolingüística y Neurolingüística. El presente trabajo surge de la necesidad docente de delimitar el objeto de estudio de dos disciplinas cuya conexión principal se...

...future of this country. Words like visions, goals and purpose may sound extremely familiar to us but there is a greater meaning to all of these words that most of us either do not realize, or do not bother to do so. To be honest, none of us group members, and maybe most of the students enrolled in this course in general, had any idea of how having an appropriate purpose and subsequently, a clear vision for it can make our lives an ideal example for the world around us. The first questions asked of us were that whether we think that our lives have been meaningful or not, and how do we want others to remember our life as an individual after we leave this world behind. I think the answers to the second question was pretty clear, but the first question, regardless of any answer chosen, definitely made us contemplate that whether we really have ever thought about doing anything meaningful. We have lived our lives in a state of utter wilderness up till now, without any clear sense of direction in which we want to take our lives. And how could we have decided our direction when we were clueless about our destination itself. Anyhow, it’s still not too late and we have been fortunate enough to realize that we can still follow our true destiny instead of losing out our potential to the system prevailing in this society. However, we can count ourselves amongst only a few handful ones who have had this opportunity to learn the importance of having a vision. The majority is still uninformed...

Her leadership consists of: * Carefully selecting her team-she has highly qualified people in the areas that they need to be in and in the areas she is most weak in, such as the financial area. * She gathers trusted mentors and uses them for her benefit * She rewards her staff * She values her customers and more importantly she listens to them she shows she truly cares * She stays focused on a mission or vision * She communicates her vision to her staff and she has the innate ability to motivate them * She dreams big and is constantly looking for "what's next". * She knows herself and her beliefs and abilities * She remains resilient, she is constantly changing or looking for new things she has unbelieveable ambition, drive and focus * She learns from her mistakes and then right away moves on Reading about her employees though I would consider her to be more transactional to them than transformational, being very generous with pay and benefits.
