...limited for ADN nurses when compared to BSN nurses..With many years of experience ADN nurse may be able to work as supervisor or in charge, but it is very hard for them to grow up to managerial or administrative levels. A bachelor degree nurse receives more education in communication and leadership skills which makes it easier for them to go for the managerial level. At the beginning of their career both ADN and BSN may have the same pay scale but different positions to choose from other than bedside nursing and the higher pay for that positions makes BSN a better option. ADN nurses work within a given time frame like AM or PM shift and the work she do is focused on the patient who cannot do it by himself or need assistance.BSN nurses function from pre admission to post discharge and the work she do for her patient is often unpredictable. She goes beyond the needs and...

...RUNNING HEAD: CERVICAL CANCER SCREENING IN PRIMARY CARE Protocol Paper Cervical Cancer Screening in Primary Care Fall, 2008 ABSTRACT In the 1970s cervical cancer was the leading cause of cancer death for women in the United States. However, in the past 40 years, the number of cases of cervical cancer and the number of deaths from cervical cancer have declined radically. This decrease is largely the result of many women getting regular Pap tests (Center for Disease Control and Prevention, 2004). Persistent infection with high-risk human papillomavirus (HPV) infections can lead to cervical cancer. Since HPV and precancerous lesions of the cervix are usually asymptomatic, prevention and regular screening remains imperative for early detection and treatment of cervical cancer. Here we examine strategies for prevention, assessment, and management for cervical cancer and contemplate briefly potential implications if left undiagnosed or untreated. Cervical Cancer Screening in Primary Care Introduction Human Papillomavirus (HPV) infection is a major health concern in the United States. Genital HPV is the most common sexually transmitted infection (STI) in America. There are more than 100 different types of HPV infections. Of these, 40 affect mucosal surfaces and more specifically anogenital epithelium including: Cervix, vagina, vulva, rectum, urethra, penis, and anus. The different strands of the HPV infections are divided into “high-risk” and “low-risk...

Mullins • Reprint R0703A Jack Brandon’s initial idea has not panned out, and the cash is nearly gone. But he’s got a new plan. Will you back him a second time? HBR CASE STUDY Good Money After Bad? by John W. Mullins COPYRIGHT © 2007 HARVARD BUSINESS SCHOOL PUBLISHING CORPORATION. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. From a rocky perch overlooking the sparkling lights of San Francisco, Christian Harbinson gazed across the bay to the hills above Sausalito. “There’s nothing like a vigorous hike,” he thought, “to clear the mind before a crucial meeting.” It was a mild March evening, and the 35-year-old venture capitalist was reflecting on the recommendation he would have to make to his firm’s investment committee the next morning about Jack Brandon’s young company, Seven Peaks Technologies. Seven Peaks had developed an innovative device for cauterizing blood vessels during electrosurgery, and although the feedback from surgeons had been excellent, sales had been slow. The Palo Alto–based venture capital firm where Harbinson worked, Scharfstein Weekes, had invested $600,000 in Seven Peaks from its newly raised second fund of $100 million. SW’s current investment strategy focused on early-stage medical technology companies, and Seven Peaks was a typical investment for the firm, which liked...
