The first approach to whistle blowing condemns whistle blowers as people who rat on their own organizations or companies, thus, undermining the authority’s hierarchy and teamwork (Martin, 402). Although an approach, Martin feels that corporations should note that for employees loyalty to the organization is not an absolute moral principle, and thus, it is the role of the public to protect whistleblowers. The second approach suggests that although whistle blowing is a necessary evil and at times tagged admirable when it happens, all around it is always bad news (Martin, 402). This is simply because it disrupts and Continue reading...

- What personal, cultural, and spiritual values contribute to your worldview and philosophy of nursing?
Morality is habitual. It shapes the character of individuals and communities. Health professionals must exhibit the three subgroups of morality: personal, societal, and the morality of the health professions and its institutions.

As a health professional, personal morality helps you to understand and respect the personal morality of patients, staff mates, and other people you come into professional contact. Integrity is an essential resource in the Continue reading...

- Prostitutes/Exotic Dancers: initially I was conflicted on these professions because an exotic dancer is a typically accepted form of job for a woman in our culture while prostitution is looked down on. However, in both jobs the woman is using her body and sexuality in order to gain a profit. The only difference (sometimes) is that one involves sexual activity whereas the other does not. This is a fine line between the jobs and yet society somehow thinks it is okay to harass prostitutes while exotic dancers are normally protected by bouncers and security guards. I do not think Continue reading...

Reflection and self-awareness

Part 1: As you have developed through level 4 have your views of the professional’s role altered and why is this?

1. What is the purpose of ethical conduct, and on what criteria would you evaluate your conduct? Ethics is collective values that define the accepted standard of right or wrong. Individual values are determined by factors such as beliefs, culture, upbringing, and exposure and life experiences. Knowledge of being right or being wrong is not a guarantee that a person will always behave in an ethical manner. For a person to acquire good moral traits, they must willingly abide by the acceptable ethical standards. Ethical conduct is like a guiding principle in making a sound choice or steering a Continue reading...

In many societies, in the world, the role of women was that of caregiver or nursing care. The nurturing of children by mothers gave people the supposition that the women can provide the same care to the ailing and wounded in the society.

In the early years, there were no learning that existed for the caregivers, it was a trade passed from one generation to another Continue reading...

Working in the field of Allied Medicine is an amazing and at the same time, challenging opportunity.

The objective of this paper is to outline my perceptions on professional nursing practice, what Continue reading...

In a general perspective, when people speak on leadership they see it as a crucial matter. Personally, I see it clearly in this view.

Reflective Report

According to Aristotle, the vocation of an individual lies where his talents and the needs of the world cross. Honestly, there are not many people that are actually excited about their job.

Many countries are today faced with a dilemma as to how best nursing shortage can be addressed (AACN, 3). To some, the nursing shortage is an accident waiting to happen if not amicably addressed.

The modern criminal justice system is not perfect – every lawyer can prove that. Indeed, there are cases when judges were too mild to offenders, and sent them on probation. Probation is supervising an offender for quite some time, ordered by the court. Probation is sentenced instead of sending a criminal to a jail. In some cases, probation applies to community sentences. Sometimes, it happens that probation officers should supervise those who came out from a prison on parole. Every offender on probation should follow special rules, set by the court. The most common are: no gun maintenance, live in Continue reading...
