...Correctional nurses are challenged to provide inmate healthcare services in a caring relationship that promotes wellness, restores health, and facilitates healing. A great deal has been written by nursing theorists regarding a caring attitude, and that it is fundamental to the nurse’s role. No other health care setting presents such limitations to nurses’ free expression of caring. The purpose of this paper is to conduct a review of the literature on how nurses balance the culture of security and the culture of care while delivering health care to inmate-patients in a correctional setting. Analysis It is well documented in the nursing literature that nursing care for prisoners is both complicated and conflicting. These findings clearly stated that the experiences of caring for inmate-patients vary greatly from that of any other health care setting. Both the infrastructure of a prison coupled with its restrictive security element, directly affects how the health care of inmate-patients is delivered. This is in direct correlation with the findings of Mathis & Schoenly, 2008; Muse, 2009; and Weiskopf, 2006. These identified restrictions presented a conflict, as to how nurses had to walk a fine line between providing therapeutic care while maintaining a safe environment. According to Stern, Greifinger, and Mellow (2010), when employed in correctional facilities, nurses are instructed to refrain from having extended conversations with prisoners and warns new...

...individual pride, and Company Spirit.” Air Southwest Co. was born in 1967 over a dinner with Rollin King and Herb Kelleher. King who, verbalized his concept as “if you get your passengers to their destinations when they want to get there, on time, at the lowest possible fare and darn sure they have a good time doing it, people will fly your airline.” He further demonstrated this on a paper napkin. (Wikipedia 2009) This concept grew into Air Southwest flying intrastate to three major airports, which included Dallas, San Antonio, and Houston. The flights remained within the state to avoid Federal Regulation, which resulted in a storm of backlash from three major airlines; Braniff, Trans-Texas, and Continental Airlines, and started legal action against Air Southwest, that went on for three years. In 1970 Air Southwest triumphed in the legal battle against these airlines and changed its name to Southwest Airlines in 1971. Lamar Muse was hired by Southwest as president. Mr. Muse brought with him years of experience from within the airline industry, having worked for Texas International. It was Mr. Muse who wrote promissory notes to obtain Boeings, three 737 Boeing jets, which happens to be the only model aircraft Southwest still uses today. With all the success that Southwest has had over the years competitors have begun to imitate Southwest’s model and spurred vicious competition from other low...

...| How to Protect Trade Secrets in the Workplace | Business Law Research Paper | Anthony Arrieta 11-27-2015 | Trade secrets First let’s address what a “trade secret” is. It is very hard to get an exact definition of what these are but trade secrets have characteristics which most state statutes or common law recognize. They are: * Secrecy * Security * The value of the Information, and * Ease of Duplication A customer list is a classic example of information that might be considered a trade secret. The list, by itself, would probably not be a protected trade secret. It could only be protected if the customer list is not “readily ascertainable” from sources outside the particular company. For example, a list of customers revealing their monthly purchases would more likely constitute a trade secret. The mere listing of customer names and addresses which could be obtained from a telephone book, would probably not constitute a protected trade secret. Protecting trade secrets in the workplace is a very important part of running a successful business. Keeping parts of your business secret will differentiate you from the rest of your competitors and if you are succeeding in the industry it will keep you at the top of the industry. Successful companies stay on the top because they protect their most valuable information. Companies like Coca-Cola have protected their “secret” formula for 125 years (Coca-Cola, 2015). This is not the only reason that...

...of the gods. It was also believed that people who expressed behavior were considered to be possessed by an evil spirit. Then, in 460 B.C. Hippocrates, also known as the Father of medicine, proposed a biological explanation to the reasons behind abnormal behavior. He suggested that an imbalance of blood, phlegm, black bile, and yellow pile was the cause of mental illness. Along came the Greeks with their diagnosis and treatment for hysteria, and years later in 1896 Sigmund Freud developed his systematic theory of psychodynamics he believed to be the psychological components of hysteria. During the 20th century behaviorism, humanistic/cultural/normative perspectives emerged, drastically changing the way abnormal behavior is viewed. In this paper I will discuss how these perspectives in detail. I will also discuss how the terms normal and abnormal and how these labels can affect the people they are placed on in the workplace and in life in general. Abnormal Psychology Abnormal psychology is a branch of psychology that studies people’s emotional, cognitive, and/or behavioral problems. It focuses on understanding the nature, causes, and treatment of mental disorders. Define normal and abnormal To understand abnormal psychology it is important to determine what is considered to be abnormal behavior. .

...Restructuring for Success Tiffany Wilson Colorado Technical University Abstract The purpose of this paper is to assist Shawn in addressing the board. It will provide helpful information that will give him an outline as to the next steps the board will need to take in an effort to continue its success as well as remain the leader in the industry amongst its competitors. In doing so, AGC will continue to see a profit, retain its employees and hire new talent to perhaps increase its manpower and production. Shawn’s Approach In an effort to restructure AGC, there are a number of things that have to be taken into consideration. Since Shawn has just joined the team, his presentation has to be informative and insightful. One of the first steps would be to define human capital management, its importance and a structure that needs to be implemented. As with any organization, certain policies and procedures need to be implemented and followed. A strategic plan would be the first place to start. This is simply “a company’s plan for how it will match its internal strengths and weaknesses with external opportunities and threats in order to maintain a competitive advantage”. (Dessler). The framework for the strategic plan is also important because this will allow the board to determine the strengths as well as weaknesses that may be present within the organization. Once this has been determined, the restructuring process can begin. Since there has been little to no communication amongst...

...Critical Analysis Gerald Holt English 216 Liberty University Ode to a Lyrical Masterpiece Introduction Creative writing is seen by many as a way to free the expression of the mind, allowing anyone who feels the urge to put their thoughts on paper can do so. There are a large number of people who have lived throughout time that have had their legacy live forever through their writing because they were able to eloquently configure their thoughts in a manner to reach others. Writing in literature has stretched over many long periods since the beginning of time and that could easily be established by taking note that the Bible is the highest selling book of all time. The Bible may have not been written all at one time, but the majority of the works and its authors were mainly from the same time period. Writing has gone through different ages where the majority of writers had the same idea, or style of writing that they wanted to focus on. Some of the ages of writing that had a strong influence on literature as a whole were that of the neoclassical and romantic age of writing. One piece of literature in particular that has been the topic of many discussions is the “Ode to a Nightingale”. This piece of artwork has been under much scrutiny for its lyrical anatomy, and it has also received much praise for its elegance in form. This short poem has given the world of literature much to discuss all the way down to when it was actually written and how many pages it was originally...

PHI103 Informal Logic – Week 5 Final Paper Instructor: Galen Johnson December 16, 2012 -1- 2 Death Penalty The Death Penalty: Is it a Flawed System? People have many arguments against the death penalty, and most citizens do not believe that it is a discouragement for the crimes that it punishes. American societies that use capital punishment do not find that they have lower crime rates than those that don’t 1 use capital punishment. Most people would still not accept capital punishment even if it did reduce the crime rate. This indicates that capital punishment is focused on the financially deprived, and targets those who can’t afford to pay for a good lawyer. Research shows that people with little or no money get the highest penalties in society. A lot of people have no respect for what they do and care very little about their jobs as well as other people. A lot of these same people are running our criminal justice system. This same racial discrimination in the United States has entered into our legal system making...

...during the 1970’s. “Inscribed skin highlights an issue that has been central to anthropology since its inception: the question of boundaries between the individual and society, between societies, and between representations and experiences” (Schildkrout, 2004). Through anthropological research, we have learned that many cultures worldwide use forms of body art and ornamentation such as scarification, tattooing (permanent and nonpermanent), and piercings for a variety of reasons, ranging from ceremonial religious rituals to tribal identification purposes. The process of body art and ornamentation signifies a figurative death and rebirth that typically involves a painful experience as a means to encourage an individual’s self-discovery, as well as establishing his/her place in society. For the purpose of this paper, I will explore the various aspects of body art and ornamentation across three specific cultures- the Yoruba’s of West Africa, the Samoan’s of the Pacific Islands, and the Hindu’s of India. Throughout the history of African culture, anthropologists have noted a wide variety of body markings among African peoples, with scarification being the most permanent form. Through intense study and research of African peoples, anthropologists have learned that many in the African culture use these types of body markings as identifiers among tribes, as well as a source of integration for outsiders into a specific community. For example, among the Yoruba tribes of West Africa, men, women...
