Since Grey’s Anatomy is a very real life universe, it was hard to try making up a “fictional syllabus”, so instead I made my syllabus as real as it could be. This syllabus will be distributed from the doctor to the interns on a typed out piece of paper, just like we would receive it from a teacher. Using a computer to type out the syllabus makes it very easy to read and follow for the interns, and easy to assess by Doctor Webber. Printing the syllabus allows the interns to be able to keep and follow these guidelines throughout their whole internship. Through my research, I found out everything that I needed to include in my syllabus and how to produce it. I used the source, Center for Research on Learning and Training, as an extra guideline
to make sure I included everything I intended to. This source has a checklist at the bottom of the cite to check off everything you included to see what else you still have left. The most important factors I needed to include were course/teacher information, hospital expectations, attendance policy, learning objectives, a schedule of some type. etc. I gained knowledge on how/where to use bullet points, bold what needed to be bolded, and how to make it visually interesting. In Seattle Grace’s syllabus several policies, guidelines, and information are included. It is composed of teacher/course information, course attributes, course description, learning objectives, information about the intern exam, attendance policy, hospital expectations, a schedule, etc. Dr. Webber, the chief of surgery, is sort of already like a professor when it comes to interns so making this “fictional syllabus” was sort of easy. I made Dr. Webber and the speciality doctors, Doctor Shepherd, Torres, Bailey, and Burke, the teachers and the interns the students to create a traditional syllabus. Another factor I included was the intern exam, the United States Medical Licensing Exam, the USMLE. Through research I found out that this exam contains of three steps. The first step resulting in what residency program you attend, the second step containing two exams, one for clinical knowledge and the other for clinical skills, and the last step is the final intern exam resulting in whether you are able to be unsupervised during medical procedures. Each intern had to take this exam at Seattle Grace and if they did not pass than they were able to take it again 6 months later. Since my Grey’s Anatomy is a very real life universe and my syllabus is not very fictional, I threw some stuff in the syllabus that I made up. For example, under course requirements I talked about how each intern had to take weekly exams and classes in order to stay caught up by the time their intern exam came up. In the show they never had to actually take weekly quizzes, but to make it more syllabus like I decided to add some homework assignments and quizzes in there. Also, under the hospital expectations, I added a rule about “not dating, or being sexually involved, with any resident or doctor. A real syllabus would never have that, but if anyone has seen Grey’s Anatomy they would know that the show revolves around relationships throughout the hospital.
The story A Television Drama, by Jane Rule is an exciting story about an unusual event, which the main character, Carolee Mitchell, experiences the end of.

Critical thinking is the ability to evaluate and produce open-minded reasoning, and is very important for daily life. A critical thinking failure is the inability to have fair reasoning, therefore a person would be biased and skeptical. Alex Karev, in the hit ABC show Grey’s Anatomy, displays a critical thinking failure because of how close-minded he may be in certain situations. In comparison with Meredith Grey, Karev was neglected as a child and brought up with violence. This played a significant role in his cognitive development, which impacted his critical thinking skills and lead to poor reasoning.
“You cannot predict the outcome of human development. All you can do is like a farmer create the conditions under which it will begin to flourish”( Ken Robinson). When people watch television they do not get to the deeper meaning of each character. Everyone in life has its own way of developing themselves. In the tv series Grey’s Anatomy characters grow in different ways. In the serie characters have an unique way to show themselves. Two of the main characters Dr. Meredith Grey and Dr. Weeber are similar, but yet different at the same time. In the Tv show they connect with each other but there is something that makes them different. Both characters of the Tv show Grey’s anatomy can be identified by their stage in life. Due to that they have differences that make them stand out like Dr. Grey has a bigger sense of intimacy while being in her stage of early adulthood. Dr. Weeber on the other hand is in middle adulthood which makes him have a
The use of abbreviations shortens length of many words thus really help healthcare professionals in saving time spent in writing notes. Abbreviations however do not always provide positive contributions due to misconceptions, misunderstandings, and misinterpretations leading to commitment of errors in the practice. Similarities in abbreviations for instance could root to a grave mistake. For instance the q.d. which an inscriber would like to indicate as every day could be erroneously interpreted as q.i.d. which means four times a day. Such error could result to over dosage when a certain medication is taken four times in a day instead of just once. Though some abbreviations can be easily understood clearly and exactly as to what meaning they communicate, the use of abbreviations generally invite error potentials particularly the error-prone abbreviations (ISMP, 2007) which can be best avoided by eliminating abbreviations.

Non-comprehensive and non-uniform patient handovers stand as a current concern within the department. Inadequate handovers may lead to delays in care and communication errors. Additionally, poor communication and poor teamwork in relation to handovers pose a threat to patient safety. The proposed intervention is to implement the utilization of a paper, SBAR formatted, standardized template with patient information on it that can be passed on from nurse to nurse at shift change. The template will be updated throughout the patient’s stay at the facility and will help provide a comprehensive view of the patient. This SBAR formatted template will provide the framework for the verbal report given during patient handovers on medical-surgical units of a Midwestern, rural hospital. The review of the literature supports the implementation of this intervention, by noting error reduction with the employment of a template. The results of a study by Triplett and Schuveiller (2011) suggested that over half of the nurses surveyed had discovered errors during the patient handover process with the addition of the template. According to Johnson, Jefferies, and Nicholls, (2012) not only did the employment of a template complement verbal handover, but it also provided a tool to allow for easy access to comprehensive information on any given patient in the units. Overall, the

As a nurse you must know how to write legible so that other nurses can understand your writing to follow out care plans. If a nurse can’t understand the writing they may give wrong medications to patients, which could cause several medical issues. A simple mistake like this can cause a nurse their licenses and serious federal charges (Purdue). Several times information written on medical charts can turn into legal documents in the results of death of the patients (Purdue). Therefore the information must be accurate and correct at all times. Many nurses go by the motto “If its not charted, then its not done”.

"Regardless of a person's literacy level, health literacy can be a challenge for anyone, because healthcare environments often require more demanding literacy skills than necassary in daily life" (Keogh, 2014). To try and help this situation I started to highlight the key points on the papers and I would read the highlighted areas to the patients while their family members were present so that I knew everyone in the room received some information and I would stay to answer questions. This helped, but not much. The idea is great. Hospitals have software that explains everything possible a patient is admitted for. However, in my opinion the idea that these patients are reading the material, learning about their condition, and comprehending how to care for themselves and strategies for prevention is good in theory, but not in
Before beginning the task the nurse must be able to understand a few basic concepts

The syllabus is a commonly created and shared document in the education world (Parkes & Harris, 2010). For some high school, and most higher education courses, it is the first form of contact between an instructor and their students. The organization and content of the syllabus sets the tone of the course and stands as a resource throughout the semester or year. Continual analysis, reflection and refinement helps to maintain the syllabus as a dynamic educational resource for every student in that class (Slattery & Carlson, 2010). An effective syllabus provides, not only an introduction and overview into the course, but also outlines the academic standards and essential questions that are to be covered, shares the course schedule and
