...accomplish my future? One thing I would like to accomplish in the future is to become an obstetrician nurse. An obstetrician is a person who delivers babies, but I would like to be an obstetrician nurse which is someone who works in the nursery and helps the obstetrician. Hopefully, I will work at a large hospital with a lot of newborns in the nursery. It would be such an exciting job, to be a part of a new person coming into the world. Second, I love holding, and taking care of babies, I could just do it forever. Last, I think it would be the perfect profession for me just because I want to be a part of new beginnings.

...Introduction This aim of this research review paper is to discuss the various types, causes and cost for medical errors. After reading this paper, the reader should be able to realize the importance of understanding the know how of medical errors and also understand how various interventions can be used effectively to prevent such errors. The paper also aims to stimulate critical thinking in terms of awareness about medical errors. I have worked in the critical care field for eight years in the past and have been a part of policy implementation with regards to medical errors. Most of the thoughts discussed in this paper are research-based, however, a few are from my personal and professional experiences working in the intensive care field. Causes of Medical Errors A. Diagnostic 1. Error or delay in diagnosis Failure to diagnose an ectopic pregnancy causing rupture and possible acute abdomen. The reason could be either because the obstetrician did not feel the need to order an ultrasound thinking the mild complain of pain to be insignificant to warrant an ultrasound or on the other hand, the radiologist fails to identify an ectopic pregnancy while performing an ultrasound, either due to incompetency or due to negligence. 2. Failure to employ indicated tests Failure to check blood glucose levels for a known hypertensive patient who presented with altered or loss of consciousness. Delayed checking of blood sugar was found to be 20mg/dl] 3. Use of outmoded tests...

...Business Research Ethics Bobbie Stolze RES/351 October 15th, 2012 James Malachowski Business Research Ethics Today there are many cases of unethical business research that usually result in entire firms as well as individuals that are convicted and fined in the court of law. Unethical business research comes in many forms some of these forms are inappropriate questionnaires, research fraud, failure to maintain participant’s privacy, and even skewing research results. The following information is regarding scientific research fraud involving William McBride. McBride was an obstetrician who was found guilty of 24 counts of scientific fraud that ended up costing between five and seven million dollars after all was said and done. In 1980 McBride had announced that thalidomide was dangerous to women who are pregnant. He claimed that the drug would cause deformities of the limbs in mother’s unborn children. Several years later McBride had claimed that he completed research on another drug called Debendox, which is a drug used for treating morning sickness for pregnant women. McBride published this research and claimed that he has tested the drug on eight rabbits, and three of the rabbits ended up developing deformities because of the drug Debendox. Shortly following McBride’s research, the manufacturer of Debendox was forced to take the drug off the market even though there were only a few supporters of his research claim. It was later discovered by Phil Vardy was a scientist...

...the ability to enter into different programs. You have the 3-year diploma program, which is administered in the hospital setting, the Associate Degree 2-year (ADN) which is acquired at a Community College or the four-year Baccalaureate Degree (BSN) which is awarded at a University. Regardless of what pathway is chosen by the graduate you still have to sit and take the same boards also known as the NCLEX-RN Licensing Examination. Baccalaureate nursing graduates have all the education of a diploma and an associate degree nurse but have a more in depth understanding of nursing research, nursing leadership, including management, humanities, and public health nursing (April 2009). This extra education gives a comprehensive understanding on many social, cultural, economic and political issues (2009). In 1965 there was a 3-yr study done by the American Nurses Association (ANA). It issued “A Position Paper on Education Preparation for Nurse Practioners and Assistants to Nurses.” The main point that was made is the “the education of all of those who are licensed to practice nursing should take place in institutions of higher education” (2009). Nursing Education is being associated with patient safety and improved quality of care. Health corporations are now wanting nurses to expand and seek higher opportunities of learning. Many ADN/Diploma nurses in the workforce when being hired by hospitals are being asked to obtain their BSN. I know that at the current facility that I work...

Competency is an individual’s actual performance in particular situation, described how well individual integrates knowledge, attitudes, skills and behavior in delivering care according to expectations (Gurvis & Gray, 1995; Nolan, 1998). The nursing profession starts when Florence Nightingale established the Nightingale School for Nursing in 1860 in London (Creasia & Friberg, 2010, p. 4). Since that time nursing profession has grown around the world. In the United States of America only RN’s are legally allowed to offer nursing services. RN’s have to be certified by National Council Licensure after passing the NCLEX exam, the test for minimal technical competency for save entry into nursing practice (Rosseter, 2011, p 4). We have two categories of nurses – Associate Degree Nurses and Bachelor Degree Nurses.

...Anatomical Research on the Skene’s Gland This research paper endeavors to discuss the internal female sexual organ – the Skene’s gland. This organ has been used interchangeably with other names such as the G-spot, female prostrate, paraurethral gland, etc. To avoid ambiguity, this paper would be focusing on the generalized area commonly called the G-spot which includes the Skene’s gland. Within the field of sexology, there has been a lot of controversy over the topic of the G-spot. Similar to any other controversial issues, there is a divide between researchers who have made the conclusion that the G-spot is not an anatomical entity and others who believe the G-spot is a unique region responsible for a distinct sexual function. Irrespective of the ongoing debate about the G-spot, a direct clarification of what the G-spot is thought to be and the ascribed sexual function is discussed. The G-spot - named after the German gynecologist Ernst Graffenberg who discovered it in 1950 – is a highly erogenous zone which could be felt through the anterior wall of the female vagina, often located about one-third to one-half of the way in from the introitus (Mohammad 967). This region is easiest to locate if the woman were to lie on her back. In some cases, the woman might not recognize the region if she were not aroused (Mohammad 968). From a structural perspective, some researchers believe that what is called the G-spot could be a complex region composed of not a single tissue but a...

...treatment. Priority is to save the woman’s life, since ovarian cancer is so deadly, but it is still an important to address the woman’s possible concerns with future pregnancies. The research complied shows the prevalence of infertility related to ovarian cancer and what needs to be done to prevent infertility from the cancer treatments. Ovarian cancer starts in the ovaries and then can spread to the uterus and metastasized anywhere in the body. Women have two ovaries, one on each side of the uterus that produce ova and the hormones estrogen and progesterone. Ovarian cancer is easily undetected until it has spread to the pelvis and abdomen; this is when it is more challenging to treat and more fatal. Early-stage ovarian cancer, confined to one or both ovaries, is more likely to be treated effectively. Typical treatment includes surgery and chemotherapy. Early-stage ovarian cancer rarely causes any symptoms, hence why the cancer is not identified until advanced-stages. The most common symptoms are constipation or irritable bowel. Then other signs and symptoms may include “weight loss, bloating, change in bowel habits, urinary frequency, and feeling full soon after starting to eat” (Bohn, 2015). The diagnosis is typically found during a yearly wellness check up with a family physician or obstetrician and gynecologist (OB-GYN) then the client is referred to a “OB-GYN gynecologic oncologist, who specializes in cancer of the reproductive system” (Bohn, 2015).
