...come so far from ten years ago, that the nursing professionals that graduated do not have the skills that are required today with out the teachings of another. To develop the competency is only the first step to becoming an experienced nurse, this is developed over the years through teachings and support of others. But even with this help many nurses become stressed and being incompetent and search else where for employment. Patricia Benner used a theory of developmental skills, using five different stages to establish a clinical development in the practice of nursing. Here she takes into account increments in skilled performance based upon experience as well as education (Brenner, 1982). “Dr. Patricia Benner introduced a concept saying that expert nurses develop skills and understanding of patient care over time through a sound educational base as well as a multitude of experiences. She proposed that one could gain knowledge and skills (“knowing how”)” (Dracup, Bryan-Brown & , 2004) Patricia Brenner Patricia Brenner is a Professor in the Department of Physiological Nursing in the School of Nursing at the University of California, San Francisco. She gained her BSN from Pasadena college of...

...Interviewing Patricia How do the responses given by the individuals you interviewed compare or contrast with the research you discovered? The late age adult who was interviewed was aged 66 years young, Patricia’s words exactly. The interview with Patricia highlighted life not death. Aging is a natural part of life, which comes with problems but even more joy. For some these thoughts are scary, but Patricia has reached life satisfaction and is grateful to have reached the ripe young age of 66. She looks forward to any additional day she has. Based on Erikson’s integrity versus Despair theory, Patricia has arrived at Integrity. Patricia’s positive outlook on life during late adulthood is extremely motivating. I believe in living life for today because tomorrow is not promised and so does she. Patricia accepts that growing older is inevitable, and with age pain and difficulties will arise. Patricia does not worry about the worse possibilities, but she looks forward to the best. Patricia states if the worse arises she will deal with it then, but until then there is only life to be lived and enjoyed. As Erikson’s theory indicates, psychosocial maturity in late life brings increased contentment, affectionate, enjoyable bonds with others, and continued service to society (Berk, 2010). Patricia and her husband Jesus live in an assisted living facility; she has her family that share biological connections and her extended family at the facility. They moved to the facility after having...

...Baccalaureate Degree Nurses vs. Associate Degree Nurses Pamela Jones Grand Canyon University NRS 430V March 2, 2014 Due March 2, 2014 Since the beginning of the recognized nursing field, education and responsibilities of the nurse have been evolving. Two types of education are the Baccalaureate of Sciences (BSN) and the Associate Degree (AD). Both levels sit for the same NCLEX licensing exam, but many believe the BSN nurse is better prepared to meet the needs of patients. The BSN program is a four-year, knowledge, research and theory based degree. The AD is a shorter program, which focuses on clinical skills but lacks the evidence based practice (EBP) teaching the BSN program offers. Dr. Patricia Benner at the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching released a study titled Educating Nurses: A Call for Radical Transformation. The study found many of today’s nurses are “under-educated” to carry out the demands placed on them (Benner), and recommends that all nurses be prepared at the BSN level. According to the AACN, BSN prepared nurses have a more rounded education with focuses on social and physical sciences, EBP, community nursing and management teaching (AACN: Fact Sheet). They recognized the AD is less expensive and less time consuming, but still think the BSN is better prepared. BSN students are typically receiving more clinical training hours than the associate degree student (Nursing’s Future). Because of more clinical time, the BSN student...

So a laptop would be best for them because it be easier to take with them on there travels. Having to use a laptop and the number of patients a doctor has and the specific information on that patient requires them to have a larger hard drive size and a more RAM and a faster processor so this laptop would be most useful to a person in this field. A Lawyer would who works in a law firm would spend long hours in a office preparing for a case, so the computer most useful to them would be the Asus - Essentio Desktop.

...research, and clinical practice. Notably, the BSN are competent to handle patients with complex problems and unpredictable conditions. The third type is the Nurse Practitioners (NPs), who are Registered Nurses with advanced education. NPs specialize in adult care, primary health care, anesthesia, or pediatric care (Klein and Fowles 117). Competence and Advanced Education Notably, the competence of nurses increases as they advance their level of education. Indeed, some states have laws that require nurses to continue with their education as a condition for the renewal of their licenses. The reason that nursing demands continued education is that the challenges facing the profession changes constantly, as does the available knowledge in the field. In recent times, the nursing profession has become highly specialized, and it increasingly relies on technology. Consequently, nurses have more responsibility to coordinate and supervise care than before. The American Association of Colleges of Nursing (AACN) and the National League of...

Du Bois’ thoughts on race, gender, and class. Also, the intersectional theory according to Patricia Hill Collins will be used for analyzing and discussion in regards race, gender and class. The work of W. E. B. Du Bois (1868-1963) has recently become recognized for its significant contributions to sociological theory (Zuckerman 2004:3). Although Du Bois himself was overwhelmingly concerned with the scientific perspective of "value free" sociological research, later social theorists have found his views on race to offer one of...

...Research, Virginia Jennifer C. Jackson Kaplan University HN220 Prevention and Crisis Intervention 01 Professor Patricia Grace In the state of Virginia does not have a volunteer crisis intervention hotline? My local community mental health services agency (District 19) has a crisis line. This crisis line is available twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week. In order to work on the crisis line you must be a graduate with a minimum of master’s degree in human services with your license either LPC LCSW or a qualified RN with mental health education. You must be certified in the state of Virginia by the board of mental health which requires you to take an on-line course. District 19 requires you to do additional training with them should you choose to work on the crisis line in which they offer the community. I do not believe I would feel comfortable working on the crisis line. The people who call could really just need a friendly listening ear or could really be devastated. I do not believe I could really make a person feel better about an awful situation. Life is very difficult and I do not want to tell a person that things will get better. I have been in a very low place before and it made me really angry and more upset when people would say things like “It will get better.” or ‘You’re a great person you shouldn’t put yourself down.” I feel that a job like this would be extremely personally stressful. Being that this is not a voluntary position you must seek out the...

...Does Communication Matter? Lori Horak COM425 - Communication in Organizations Patricia Mader February 15, 2013 Introduction In this paper I will be discussing my thoughts in regards to communication in the scientific field and whether I feel communication is necessary in every field. I will also be discussing the type of organization I would like to work for and how having strong communication skills will help me within that field. Does Communication Matter In the article “A tool kit for the real world” Alison Motluk talks about communication and “making yourself understood.” She uses the example of scientist and how they are capable of presenting material to large groups of people but when it comes to communicating with people outside of the scientific world they struggle to convey their messages. I found this article quite amusing as I believe it is not just in science, but in the medical world, technology, public schools, corporate America; and in life in general, people just don’t know how to effectively communicate. In the public school sector for example, being the mother of three young children I find myself frustrated with communication in our school system. Not only are my children not being taught how to communicate, they are not even being taught how to write. Their assignments are all done on the computer, they no longer have text books to read from, it’s all done on line and if you were to...

...2011 Patricia Meunier-Muenks Staffing Solutions for US Military I am familiar with the Infantry and Cavalry division of the military structure and how to make this division of the US government functional is of crucial importance. First, by the very definition, the infantry and cavalry division of military service personnel requires a special mindset. It requires a person who understands that their life as well as others will be in a dangerous state and at any stage of conflict that has to be a mindset that the individual will be comfortable with. Regardless of the company for which one works, the staffing portion of any career is one of the most critical pieces to making the overall job a true success. Without the right people in the right positions, an organization will have a difficult time working properly. Manufacturing The division of the military that I am most comfortable with does not necessarily have a direct manufacturing part to the equation; the equipment that is needed to supply the soldiers is of critical importance. The most important thing that needs to happen from a manufacturing standpoint is that the equipment and supplies that are critical to a soldier’s survivability are readily available and reflects the job that is required. There are many levels of equipment that are needed to complete certain jobs. Most of the manufacturing, as expected, is job specific. Nothing is worse than preparing for a job and realizing the right...

...year later.1 This law amends the Ontario Human Rights Code as well as a number of other statutes that prohibit mandatory retirement at age 65, except in cases where it could be justified as a “bona fide occupational requirement” determined under the code. A bona fide occupational requirement compels the employer to show that they cannot accommodate the employee without undue hardship, taking into consideration such factors as cost, health and safety issues. A bona fide occupational requirement is allowed under the Ontario Human Rights Code because of the nature of the employment. They must also establish that the requirement was adopted in good faith and that the requirement is necessary and rationally connected to the performance of the job. The abolishment of mandatory retirement has been under construction for quite some time now. The Ontario Human Rights Commission released the paper: “Time for Action – Advancing Human Rights for Older Ontarians” in June 2001. They argued that mandatory retirement policies “undermine the dignity and self worth of older employees” and that the definition of age under employment of the Human Rights Code should be changed.2 The Code defined “age” for employment purposes as being eighteen years or older but younger than sixty-five years. This meant that employers were...
