Dear Mr. Pain: I am writing today to inform you of the necessity of a parent support room on my unit. I work on the NICU unit, where all my patients come with confused, attached, frightened parents. These parents have questions that cannot always be answered by my staff, whose first priority is to the infants in our care. We believe in a whole-family support system, which is why we believe a parent support room would supplement the information provided by our professional staff for parents who are searching for answers. I understand cost ...

In one afternoon when I was sipping coffee in a certain restaurant looking out of the window, a boy seated on the ground on the other side of the road drew my attention. The boy seemed hungry and exhausted, just seated waiting for help. I stood up, got out of the restaurant and approached the boy.

Abstract

Introduction Nursing practice recognizes altruism through various interventions such as understanding different beliefs and cultures, advocating for vulnerable patients, taking risks on behalf of other workers and patients and mentoring other professionals. In altruism, interpersonal factors such as respect and compassion are considered virtues that cultivate a caring attitude towards others. As such, some people feel that altruism usually places heavy demands on the nurses’ self-sacrifice, thus overlooking the challenges that these nurses face while in practice especially with acute-care settings and psychiatric situations. In this regard, it means that master’s prepared nurses have a role to play ...

Abstract

It is possible to sort out three major counter-productive actions that took place throughout the meeting (although there were much more). First of all, the meeting started with a formal recital of orders that were imposed on the task force, instead of democratically sharing the views of the new management on the possible review of policies with the selected professionals. Secondly, the topic of new uniform (or scrubs) turned into the public ostracism of the nurse due to her appearance, which is in fact an action punishable by law. The ad hominem accusations prevented the meeting from ...

Introduction

There are several reasons why the annual Burning Man festival is unique among mass gatherings. Held in the Black Rock section of America’s Great Basin desert in Nevada, Burning Man’s 70,000 participants construct a city that houses—and in itself functions as—a participatory performing arts space, a communal spiritual retreat, and a cathartic experience of radical self-expression (Brill 2007). Then, one week later, they tear it all down, pack everything out, and leave no trace behind. It is an anti-market event (Cesewski & Giles 2007) whose participants rely on gift-giving and barter to secure any necessities ...

Through these positions, I attained significant qualities associated with good leadership. The various leaderships traits I obtained through these positions include: being ...

In the face of modern science, researchers are facing a problem of the level to which the humanity of their approaches must extend. When it comes to solving ethical dilemmas, the vast majority of them tends to be concentrated on value placed on lives of humans as opposed to the value placed on lives of animals. There is a distinct separation between those who believe that animal drug testing should be banned, those who believe that it is often the main way of estimating the safety of drugs used, and those who choose to fall in-between and prefer finding ...

The 2013 Army Strategic Planning Guidance (ASPG) describes an Army that is “globally responsive and regionally engaged — one building toward a regionally aligned, mission tailored force that can Prevent, Shape and Win now and in the future.” To guide this approach, the Army lists four imperatives that form the basis of the Army Campaign Plan:

develop leaders to meet the challenges of the 21st century; adapt the Army to more effectively provide land power; and enhance the all-volunteer Army. Which imperative is the most important and why? Give an example of something that the Army could do to ...

Persons with special needs are often overlooked in our society. For a long time this population was viewed negatively, often under the strict impression that they were incapable of contributing meaningfully to society. They were destined to be dependents of the state or forever inclined to charitable contribution. They were often segregated from society in institutions, incapable of ever learning how to function in the greater whole. One such area in which their neglect was especially great was in recreation. Often times play areas do not illicit feelings of joy among the special needs population because of their unadaptable ...

What is the meaning of life? Throughout history, people have asked themselves this question, coming to answers that vary greatly. In my case, I have seen that helping others is my true calling.

From my volunteer experiences, I have learnt the value and personal satisfaction that come with lending a helping hand to those in need. Then, after working at a hospital, I saw that ...

Experience Summary

Being a volunteer to Franklin County Children Services Malaika program is one of my most meaningful experiences. I was a mentor to two underprivileged African American seven-year old sisters. The program matches mentor and mentee of the same race which also has its ground. On the one and, the mentees feel more secure and open-minded to those they find similar.

Abstract

Kurt Lewin, the father of social psychology, developed the change theory of nursing which is a three stage change model that necessitates the rejection and replacement of all prior learning. The stages in the model consist of unfreezing, change and refreezing. The change theory consists of three concepts which include driving and restraining forces and equilibrium. The driving forces ideally push a patient towards a particular direction hence facilitating change. The restraining force, on the other hand, tries to hinder the desired change by pushing the patient away from the driving forces in the opposite direction. The restraining forces' ...

This selfless act is done voluntarily by the person, without any expectation of reward and with no concern for once own wellbeing (Batson, 2014).
