Nurse
How to gain a comprehensive and well-founded knowledge of nursing as a student?

As a student, it is important to keep an open mind when gathering knowledge of this profession. This attitude is most important in my opinion because of the continual changes the medicine world offers on a fairly regular basis. New treatments and new ailments arise consistently and it is up to a nurse's education to guide this process of examining and treating unknown problems. Comprehension requires a total and full understanding of the entire situation. Remaining overly focused on just the medical aspects of a nurses duties amidst certain other important aspects of this career such as the human aspects that cannot be taught. Knowledge and understanding requires the correct mental framework to fully maximize the potential of its power.

ind -- Science Fiction for Adults, a Drama of the Human Heart and Mind rather than Light-Sabers
Ursula Le Guin, the Modern Female Conscience of Science Fiction

Ursula Le Guin is one of the most highly respected authors of fantasy and science fiction of the 20th century. The award-winning Le Guin has long been praised for combining traditional elements of literary fiction, science fiction; with philosophical and ethical speculations on ways humans have experimented with alternative societies and philosophies as well as technology. Thus, Le Guin writes from a subjective humanist perspective, usually avoiding technical sciences as physics and chemistry in favor of cultural anthropology, political science, and psychology. This made her write 'against the grain' of other of her fellow contemporary science fiction authors when she began to gain fame in the 1960's. Her multifaceted focus has enabled her to remain popular today, long after the technological obsessions of travel…...

In the Arab world, it can get that woman killed…literally. That is not to say that is the norm, but it's a commonly discussed and accepted precept with much (but notably not all) of the Arab sphere. Similarly, honor killings are considered acceptable, even with some people that have immigrated to countries that consider it cold-blooded murder.
As for whether anything has changed in the recent past that might change the tone and feel of this argument, the answer is not a lot. There is clearly a dichotomy in this world with the Western world (Europe and the United States) generally getting more permissive while much of the Arab world takes on a general anti-Western tone and actively resists any influence from the West. The chances of that fading away as a conflict, whether it be ideological or physical (and the latter does happen), is very slim. What is not…...

Humanities and Other Modes of Human Inquiry and Expression
• Define the term humanities

Humanities are a term that encompasses many individual study and sciences. There can be a two way classification of all human knowledge. First is the knowledge of the space around us, but not directly linked to humans. For example, the study of physics, botany or astronomy does not involve expressions from human emotion and nor do they reflect human behavior or needs. They are more or less functional knowledge that can be used as technical knowledge for building and creating things or understanding nature. They have specific rules, methods and human thoughts have no place in the system. For example, in classifying plants, the human feeling of the beauty of a rose has no meaning. On the other hand this knowledge has no meaning either unless the knowledge serves humans. (Austin, 2009)

But the humanities is an order that…...

Classical Symphony
Music, like other forms of art, evolved from numerous traditions that, when taken together, formed a new way of thinking about, and performing, certain types of works. Audiences change over time, and certain musical compositions that sound odd or strange to one audience are often accepted by others (e.g. The rioting during the premier of Stravinsky's Rite of Spring). hen people think of classical music, for instance, they tend to think of the three B's (Bach, Beethoven, and Brahms). Certainly, these three giants of music were part of the evolution from the Baroque to the Romantic, each building upon one another's work over two centuries. However, in that time there were numerous other composers who helped develop and forever change harmony, theory, instrumentation, and all manner of musical interpretation. e will begin with an overview of the Baroque era as a basis for our study of the classical symphony,…...

In spite of the fact that she is recognized for her work as an anthropologist and an ethnographer, it is difficult to determine the exact effect that her influence that this work had on her and on her writings. Given that she was coming from an environment that was somewhat similar to the hoodoo-related communities that she dealt with, it only seems normal for her to put across biased concepts at times. Her association with the Harlem Renaissance however makes her different from the people that she interviewed. Given her upbringing in the Harlem community and the fact that she was experienced in inter-human relations, her perspective in regard to hoodoo and magic practitioners must have been rather objective. To a certain degree, she was advantaged in communicating with African-Americans in the rural South as a result of her childhood experiences in the Eatonville community ("Zora Neale Hurston 1891-1960,"…...

Standards: The standards the university will set for itself are as follows

Maintain tuition at current rates (allowing for inflation).

Maintain or increase measures of demographic diversity.

No significant decrease in students with financial need as percentage of incoming class.

Maintain top faculty.

Historic: Historic expenditures of university regarding tuition, financial aid, and student services can be used for comparison.

Step 8: Action steps

Look back at the goal and objectives you developed last week for Step 5 of your strategic plan. Outline a series of action steps that could be implemented to achieve them; include a timeline.

Step 1: Audit of university expenditures: effective immediately

Step 2: Hiring freeze on faculty and administrative personnel. Replace retiring members with graduate students and adjunct faculty who do not receive benefits. Examine possibility of administrative staff reduction, letting go non-tenured faculty (especially in majors with few students) and consolidation of academic departments: Notify staff immediately about possibility of layoffs. Layoffs and…...

Mergers, acquisition and other types of multi-entity deals have been common instruments in the economy to increase market share, gain new businesses and customers, expand the business and become more competitive. More and more in the last years, this practice has been common in the health industry, with hospitals attempting to achieve similar objectives through mergers and multi-hospital deals. An issue in their case, however, is that the health sector has its own particularities that may have an impact on whether market share can actually be gained with such means or whether internal and external factors create sufficient pressures to impede the process of increasing market share.
Adamopoulos (2013) argues that consolidation in the health sector (through mergers and acquisitions) is the only way that hospitals are going to be able to face an increasingly challenging environment that includes rising costs and new medical problems. This seems a coherent and…...

Another technique to draw out group members is the use of a 'round' in which every group member is sequentially asked to volunteer information without commenting on the previous individual's words. This ensures that every member of the group has to participate but makes the experience far less threatening since everyone is speaking and the reluctant member can be less worried about negative feedback, since participation takes place in a non-judgmental context.
Not all exercises and techniques to draw out group members need to be so formalized, of course. Simply using friendly eye contact can make group members feel more welcomed and eager to participate. Activities that can be useful for all members can have the added benefit of drawing out group members. For example, having group members interview one another on the first day and 'present' their interview subject when the group reconvenes is one way to encourage all…...

They were able to hear white masters with new voices renouncing this mastery. The Caribbean artists "were not only digesting Surrealism; they were, in fact, making it Caribbean" (68). Wilfred Lam's "The Jungle" includes both Surrealist and Picasso's flavor and also a unique Caribbean quality that displays "the interdependence of people, ancestors, spirits and natural elements" (68), mixed with undercurrents of colonialism and slavery, such as the symbolism of the tobacco leaves and sugar cane. Breton said Surrealism offered artists a mode of revolutionary thinking to "leap into the unknown" (70). The Aime Cesaire poem (67) "Notebook of a return to my native land," was considered by Breton to be one of the great prose-poetry works of the 20th century, parented by the three literary movements of the negritude, Harlem Renaissance, and French Surrealism.

As Baldwin indicates in "If Black Language Isn't a Language, Then Tell Me What is?" "It goes without saying, then, that language is also a political instrument, means, and proof of power. It is the most vivid and crucial key to identify: It reveals the private identity, and connects one with, or divorces one from, the larger, public, or communal identity." This concept can be readily demonstrated in Anzaldua's essay, in which the power of language is repressed by her school teachers when the author was still a school girl. "I remember being caught speaking Spanish at recess -- that was good for three licks on the knuckles with a sharp ruler. I remember being sent to the corner of the classroom for "talking back" to the Anglo teacher when all I was trying to do was tell her how to pronounce my name" (Anzaldua 2947). The power of…...

Malcolm X's contributions to the civil rights movement cannot be viewed in isolation, without taking into account his influences and contextual variables. By the time Malcolm X wrote his Autobiography, he had already developed a well-articulated and logical political philosophy. His influences as stated in his autobiography include Marcus Garvey, from where Malcolm X's father learned the ideas he passed onto his son. It was Elijah Muhammad and the Nation of Islam that had the most formative personal influence on Malcolm X Although he does not explicitly refer to .E.B. DuBois, Booker T. ashington, or even much to his contemporary Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., these thinkers did have some influence on Malcolm X because of their great influence on American culture in general. Malcolm X did develop his political and social philosophies in light of the views and methods of King, DuBois, and ashington. hile all of these prominent…...

Qualitative research differs from quantitative in that the second uses statistics and is a data-based study testing the validity and reliability of a hypothesis. It is used to formulate an employ mathematical models, theories and/or hypotheses regarding the subject. The researcher asks a specific narrow question and collects statistical data to answer it. He or she is then hoping to use that data and apply it to similar instances. Qualitative studies, on the other hand, collect more information on a certain topic rather than testing the validity of the hypothesis. It asks broad questions and interviews participants collecting word data rather than quantitative results. Qualitative studies are, therefore, beneficial for…...

This takes him to the house of rich man in town, Sabas, but when he arrives "he wished he had arrived an hour later and missed Sabas" (165). This is because Sabas was evil and corruption personified. He was not born rich but had taken advantage of the political situation of the country and was now reaping the rewards of his clever political manipulation. It is at Sabas' place where the colonel meets a young doctor who plays a significant role later as he tries to restore "health" to the colonel's household which was trapped in a time-frame. The colonel and his wife are unable to move beyond a certain point in their lives because of constantly waiting for the mail which colonel believes is the only possible way they can live with dignity for the rest of their lives.

muckrakers and other progressives-U.S. late 1800s
In writing about the muckrakers and the other progressives who sought to effect social change at the turn of the 20th century, it is important to note the nature of that change. Most progressives actually believed in the United States social system and its extensions into areas of finance, industrialization, sanitation, and more that Progressives were concerned about during this era. They simply wanted to fix these things, rather than completely overhaul them or set up new social systems and institutions. To that end, muckrakers and other progressives effectively wrought social change by working within and with the current system. They created action at the federal, state and local levels by disseminating information and motivating people to action that sought to help the weaker elements of the country -- those that were exploited by big business and industry, and many of the other developments created…...

Choosing a research paper topic doesn't have to be difficult. In many cases, an instructor will choose a topic for you. Some instructors allow you to choose your own topic, but request that you get approval from them before beginning your paper. If you're left completely alone to choose a topic and start writing, consider the following questions as you're thinking about topic ideas: • What is the class about? • What are some of the main points or themes addressed by the instructor? • What about the class specifically interests you? • What ideas or themes from the class naturally lend themselves to research? • Is your topic idea....

Business communication plays a significant role in day to day activities, because nearly every transaction a person engages in is a form of business. At work, business communication is more than just talking with the boss about important matters. It's also small interactions between colleagues, how you talk to customers and vendors, and non-verbal communication concerns like posture and facial expression. In an increasingly global society, proper business communication is becoming more significant. You can find information on this issue in business journals. The website ACBJ.com provides you with access to a large number of business journals from a wide variety....

PubMed is a great place to search for sources on healthcare. Other good choices include sites for Universities that have medical programs and sites for state governments. IntelligentHospitalToday.com has healthcare articles, as well. Also consider WorkcareGroup.com, as they have healthcare articles, too. Journals and textbooks can be excellent choices for information on the continuum of healthcare. If you have access to a large library, you can find information that shows how the continuum has evolved over time, and how that helps providers avoid duplication.

To argue against animal abuse, you want your thesis to clearly state that you're against it and why. Your opinion should be a part of the thesis statement, but you want to be careful to actually present arguable, logical points, as well. You could say you're against animal abuse for a number of reasons. For example, some common ones are that animals feel both physical and emotional pain (abuse is cruel), that animals can't defend themselves and people should care for them because of their innocent nature, and that animal abuse can lead to further deviant and criminal behavior -....
