Executive Summary

Executive Summary
Nurses are at the forefront of health care delivery. A patient’s satisfaction to the care he or she receives in a hospital depends on a large extent to the way nurses interact with him or her. At present, there is a growing diversity not only among patients served, but also within the health care personnel. Thus, for nurses to provide the best possible care for their patients, it is important to institutionalize effective mechanisms that promote diversity awareness and self-diversity awareness. An example of such mechanism is the proposed Diversity Awareness Campaign.

The Diversity Awareness Campaign Continue reading...

Aging affects episodic memory, which is memory pertaining to the specific events and experiences occurring with time. Even though most older adults hold he belief that such memories regarding remote occurrences are good as compared to their memories (recent events), it is possible that the older memories become semantic. This results to retaining the integral information even though it lacks finer details, precisely temporal and spatial contexts. The older memories in this case join the scope of things, which people ‘know’. The problematic issues of older adults include the remembrance of contexts and subsequent source information. In cases of Continue reading...

Today's classrooms and workplaces are increasingly demanding in required skills for a successful education and a professional career. Not only are core skills mandatory for admission and placement but so are adjunct ones. In fact, what have been historically viewed as secondary skills are no longer so in complex communities of learning and knowledge. Expanding lists of required skills in knowledge economies do not cease, apparently, to expand. More colleges and employers are performing interdisciplinary exams for candidates. Skill integration is becoming norm. In order for a student and/or a job candidate to be able to perform simple assignments, Continue reading...

Oscar Wilde said, “Yes: I am a dreamer. For a dreamer is one who can only find his way by moonlight, and his punishment is that he sees the dawn before the rest of the world.” This punishment that Oscar Wilde speaks of us is what makes self-actualization an incomparably rewarding but also increasingly lonely path. But the gift of fulfillment, wonder, and delight that it offers keeps us going, keeps us evolving towards a higher consciousness. Dreaming is an entryway into that endless field of energy. Modern day dysfunction undercuts the spiritual aspect of existence with its focus Continue reading...

Even though in certain industries, the intermediaries have been eliminated, the hospitality industry has its own share of intermediaries. The four intermediaries that I will use include meeting planners, hotel representatives, tour operators and wholesalers, travel bureaus and concierge. I would select the aforementioned group of intermediaries because of the advantages that they will bring to my hotel; especially considering the fact that my hotel is new and small (Lewis, 1997). First of all, intermediaries specialize in particular functions in the process of delivering service.

Analysis of A Good Man Is hard To Find

Self- awareness is the ability for people to recognize who they are in the context of the wider society. It is through self- awareness that people will know their strengths, weaknesses, thoughts and even emotions. It is possible that there are those who will lack it and, therefore, fail to understand and know who they really are in the context of their immediate surroundings. Self- awareness generally helps people make ethical choices in life, and lack of it can lead to grave mistakes. In A Good Man Is Hard to Find by Flannery O’Connor, the presence of self- Continue reading...

Are There Innate Ideas or are we born with blank Slates? What are the implications of your answer for the limits of our knowledge?
A comprehensive philosophical analysis of the knowing technique must comprise of the sources of fault as well as of the procedures that permit one to attain to truth. Some discrepancy must be made amid knowledge and that which is a false posturing of acquaintance. When children are born they come as blank states.

According to Shankara, direct experience is Continue reading...

In health care, the success a baccalaureate prepared professional nurse is not only dependent on the care given to the patient, but also the recovery time taken by the patient (Mailloux, 2011). It is worth mentioning that BSN nurses predominantly have an impact on the patient’s outcome. Because they have a well-established educational background and knowledge regarding patient care that in essence impacts the patient outcome positively, BSN nurses are of utmost significance when it comes to patient recovery (DeBrew, 2010). With the above said, this paper will essentially focus in BSN nurses and present how their skills Continue reading...

Georg Lukacs and Sandra Harding on Standpoint Epistemology

Introduction
In general, standpoint epistemology (SE) aims to represent the world from a particular socially situated perspective or standpoint (Lammey, 2013). For both Lukacs and Harding, the standpoint taken is that of the marginalized: the proletariat and the women, respectively. It is believed that the lives of the marginalized can actually lay a claim to epistemic privilege and the production of knowledge precisely because of their unique sets of experiences in comparison with dominant classes or sex which fails to ‘critically and systematically interrogate their advanced social situation and the effect of such advantages on their beliefs’ (Harding, 1993) Continue reading...

Introduction

It is common knowledge that the success of any organization is hugely dependent on the KSA’s (knowledge, skills and abilities) of its employees. Employees are the most important assets of an organization and without proper mechanisms of recruitment, selection and training, the organization may not acquire and retain most effective e employees. In addition, if the mechanism of recruitment, selection and training are not aligned with the organizations’ missions and core values, the organization may ultimately collapse. Employees with high levels of knowledge, skills and abilities drive the organization forwards and propel it towards the achievement of its Continue reading...

Higher education plays a critical role in shaping civic life of many American citizens. The type the American’s system of higher education contributes less to the promotion of civic responsibilities among students (Astin 1).

My first SMART goal is to become an effective leader in conflict resolution with a nurse in the Operating Room who is consistently tardy. My second goal is to learn the organization’s Time Out policy and educate nurses and other care providers to achieve100% compliance. I chose these goals because of the urgency of the issues involved. We have organizational policies requiring timeliness and violations thereof negatively affect team productivity and morale. Policies prescribe appropriate disciplinary actions for violations with the goal of deterring unprofessional behaviors. Meanwhile, wrong-site surgery causes unnecessary suffering to patients.

Lev Vygotsky was a Russian psychologist. In particular, he studied the process of children’s assimilation of new skills and knowledge, and his theory turned out to be very interesting for the teachers of the West. Vygotsky's ideas in their important aspects agree with the intuitive understanding of teachers of the process of training and learning. These ideas, in particular, question the approach involving the separation of pupils in the learning process and on the basis of ability. Vygotsky believed that the interaction of students with different abilities and accomplishments plays a significant positive role in the development of Continue reading...

Does Having More Education Mean Having More Knowledge Than Others?
Knowledge and education seem to go hand in hand and seem to be synonymous. When searching for a mate, a good education is often high in the criteria list. Most certainly, it makes a good impression on a bride’s family to see that her fiancé has graduated from a college. People might assume that he has great income and supreme knowledge if he has a formal education. He could be a self-righteous, unfaithful jerk. That is invisible next to his certificate that reads, M.D., Ph.D. The Merriam-Webster.com definition Continue reading...

Aristotle and Plato are two Greek philosophers well known for their profound and great contributions to academic knowledge not only through their philosophical theories, but also through their great insights in sociology and economics. Considering that the work incorporated by the two still stands affirm, this paper will argue in favor of the notion that the work of the two still remain relevant in the contemporary times or rather the 21st century evident through the application of the same.

Achievement tests are used to test knowledge and developed skill. Some examples of the tests include: curriculum-based evaluation, standardize test, portfolio-based, and dynamic assessment approaches. Commonly, a standardized test is used with the aim of measuring knowledge and skills learned or obtained in a given grade level. These tests normally do not measure aptitude or cognitive traits, but rather knowledge learned through classroom instructions, planned instructions or training. Scores on achievement test are used in schools or education systems in determining the preparedness of the student for the instructions and what was trained.

Pledges are common in many professions. They are solemn declarations to adhere to specific guidelines, terms of services and to some extent allegiance to specific people in authority or God. The nursing profession has had its share of the same. The Nightingale Pledge is the pledge use by nurse upon graduation. It is named after Florence Nightingale in honor of her contribution in the nursing profession. She is credited as the founder of modern nursing and also the actual initial idea of pledging. The pledge was created in 1893 by modifying the Hippocratic Oath by Lystra Gretter and a Continue reading...

These age and times has been described as the IT era, whereby it has been asserted and proved that in deed embracing technology in facilitating production has not only improved the efficiency of production but also the effectiveness.

Just like any other profession, nursing is a medical profession that requires intensive research. With new emerging trends of treatment being adapted in the medical field, nurses need to use research as an approach in patient treatment.

Researched based practice can be used to treat some of disease that cannot be treated through other means. This can be used to solve challenges that have been encountered for in Continue reading...

The Meditations usually reflected on as the foundation of the modern philosophy of the West. Descartes breaks down the Aristotelian opinion that the entire knowledge is achieved through the senses and that the state of the mind must bear a resemblance to what they are about. He builds up a completely perception of mind, substance and opinions. Descartes employs a lot of skepticism especially in the First Meditation. He starts by asking how he can be sure of anything. He then builds up all types of imaginative and strange reasons as to why he should doubt his senses. Since Continue reading...

Philosophy of Education

In my argument, I would like heavily borrow from the propositions of Maria Montessori and John Dewey. My philosophy of education is therefore based on learner-centered learning in which the learner becomes the focal point of the teaching and learning process (Kolb, D., 2004). As an early childhood specialist, I believe that pre-school stage of learning should be highly regarded because it is the real foundation in a pupil’s education experience.
Hence, learning should be made more pragmatic by actively engaging the learners. They should be taught a wide range of subjects and be given an ample opportunity Continue reading...

Edification is the overall enhancement or enlightenment, especially on matters that involve the uplifting of an individual’s spirituality or morality. Religion plays a significant role in edification. That is, spiritually exalting and uplifting women in the society. Feminine edification is the uplifting of the feminine form both morally and spiritually. In doing so, women attain an elevated status in the society. This has a great significance on society today. Association with feminine edification makes women feel worthy and valuable in the society. They stop directing all attention solely to beauty but also try to attainment of a good Continue reading...
