Summary On November 27, 2017, after an extended medical leave, Mr. Keifer Bradshaw notified me in person that he had been officially released from the doctor and could return to class. Based on Mr. Bradshaw’s extended absence (last date of attendance 9/21/2017), missed assignments (approximately 25 assignments not including TA Presentations), and overall grade average prior to leaving class (22%), I recommended that Mr. Bradshaw seek a medical withdrawal from class. After consulting with the Registrar and his academic advisor, Mr. Bradshaw notified me in writing that he desired to be giving an Incomplete (I) for the course. I previously advised Mr. Bradshaw that this was against policy as Incompletes are only given when students have a passing
Over the last several years, the United States has experienced the emergence of countless lifestyle based illnesses. We have seen an increase of inactivity, poor nutrition, an increase of tobacco use, and more frequent alcohol consumption; Americans are living unhealthy lifestyles that are surely factors contributing to the pervasiveness of chronic diseases. Chronic diseases use to be seen as problems that older generations faced, but over the past several years the United States’ working age group has become a main target. For example, Americans are experiencing higher rates of diabetes, and heart disease. Conditions like these only lead to a diminished quality of life, could possibly lead to shorter life spans, disability, and quite possibly in the long run increased health care costs. Businesses are also impacted by an employees lifestyle decisions; absenteeism and presenteeism.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) (2012), the average time patients spend in the U.S. emergency department (ER) before they can see a doctor has increased to 25% between 2003-2009. The main cause of longer wait times (WT) in the ER is overcrowding. Overcrowding has been found to be closely related to both subjective and objective patient satisfaction (Miro’ et al, 2003). Longer wait times in the ED is such an important issue because its consequences are detrimental not only to the ER patients, but also to providers. As a health care provider, decreasing patients’ WT in the ED is essential, although challenging, to improve patient’s health outcomes and increase patients’ satisfaction. Although it is a very challenging issue to tackle, hospitals that have initiated some quality improvement (QI) strategies are experiencing some positive outcomes in that area of care. The outcomes are measured by decreased waiting times, improved patients’ clinical outcomes and increased patients’ satisfaction.

The subject came so naturally to me and I decided to continue my enrollment in sports medicine courses throughout my high school education. As my senior year of high school concluded, I explored the idea of a career in physical therapy by job shadowing at the Idaho Sports Medicine Institute (ISMI). After observing the PTs at ISMI, I was immediately drawn to a career in physical medicine. A few months later, I started my education at Idaho State and felt exactly like I did when I started sports medicine in high school. I was absolutely enthralled with my classes, naturally excelled in all of my coursework, and always had PT school in the back of my mind. I knew I would have to work extremely hard to develop a strong undergraduate transcript and build a competitive application. Throughout my undergraduate career, I have worked relentlessly to maintain academic excellence and currently have a 3.91 GPA. I have also succeeded in making the College of Education’s Dean’s List for five semesters. Unfortunately, I did not receive the honor of making the Dean’s List on one occasion, as I was .02 points below the minimum
I knew I needed to get back in school to make any advancements as well as earn more money at retirement, but wasn’t sure what direction I wanted to go in; should I continue in the education field or athletic training. While walking around at the National Athletic Trainers’ Association annual convention in the exhibitors’ expo, I discovered the Indiana Wesleyan booth. The athletic training program seemed interesting and fit into my hectic schedule with it being only one year. Therefore, as soon as I got home, I immediately checked the Georgia Professional Standards Commission website to see if IWU was on the approved programs for a teaching certificate upgrade. Unfortunately, it was not on the approved list, however a proposal could be sent to the commission to review the program. It wasn’t economically feasible for me to spend the money to receive a master’s degree with no return on my investment if the program wasn’t added. For almost a year, I checked the Professional Standards Commission website in hopes the program’s approval. You cannot imagine the excitement I experienced when I checked the website and saw Indiana Wesleyan University’s athletic training degree listed. Everyone I ran into that day knew the program was added. I
Despite my commitment I had to this course, I was strongly discouraged by the absence of a guaranteed clinical placement which is a precondition for the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) approval. This would limit my hope of graduating as a Biomedical Scientist. Therefore, I took a difficult decision to withdraw from my course.
1- How did you relate the missed meeting with my funding?! If you think that I didn't attend the meeting to extend my funding you're badly wrong. I never use such childish thing as I do not need your money beyond what you are supposed to pay per our contract.
I am respectfully writing a request of waiver of Rule G(1) of the student handbook, requiring students to maintain a 2.0 GPA to remain enrolled. During the Fall 2016 semester I failed one course, causing me not to earn the 2.0 GPA required to remain a student at Florida Coastal School of Law. Though I had a bumpy start at Florida Coastal, not doing as well as I hoped my first semester, I was proud of my improvement of my GPA during the summer. Fall for me was not as successful of a semester, I had several personal issues that affected my performance, including the death of my maternal grandmother and unforeseen health issues. I am not making excuses for my poor performance this semester, however, these are outside factors I would like to
Hope all is well! I have been getting emails about Fall 2015 registration and the need for me to register for Maintenance of Matriculation or Leave of Absence. I did not know that I needed to register even though I only have one HPM course left. I have been in touch with Cindy and Pamela regarding the problem and Pamela suggested a leave of absence if I decided not to register for Maintenance of Matriculation. I also read that student must obtain permission from the department chair prior to taking a leave of absence. Since the last day for registration is August 21st, 2015 ( I think), I will be on-campus tomorrow August 21st, 2015 to fill out the leave of absence form. I am not sure if I will need to drop it off at your office but will ask
In today’s world the term called as “ATTRITION” is familiar to each and every person working in the corporate world. Attrition or simply called as employee turnover refers to the reduction of work force in an organization due to resignations, retirement, sickness, or death. It is mostly unpredictable in nature.

A high school class and a college class are conducted in different ways. In high school, teachers exercise control over the flow of information, while college professors encourage the student to seek out pertinent information. Throughout the year, a high school teacher will remind the student of upcoming due dates and assignment requirements. If a student misses a test or homework assignment, the teacher will provide missing notes or study guides so that the student is kept up to date with the rest of the class. For example; when I was in high school, I missed a week of school to go on vacation with my family. My mother spoke with my teacher before we left and he agreed to let me turn in my homework when I returned to class. Furthermore, my teacher allowed me to make up the single quiz that I missed during my absence. Neither the late homework, nor the missed quiz reflected in my grade. A college professor would have made me choose between a good grade and a vacation with my family. In contrast, the college professor...
