The short film I watched mainly focused in a prison environment where floods affected the state prison as an epidemic of typhoid fever broke out among inmates. There were not enough doctors available to assist the regular prison physician, so three nurses arrive to assist him and administer vaccines. At the same time, a group of prisoners plan an escape. Eventually, the prison physician becomes ill and a prisoner who once was a doctor takes over him. However, he is then forced at gunpoint to help out with the prison break. When the authorities assume he was involved in the plan, the prisoners are killed leaving no one to testify in his favor. The nurse who he falls in love with ends up giving him a sense of hope that he could be freed. Overall, the movie develops through a series of events …show more content…
I believe nurses were accurately depicted in the film I watched. A correctional nurse cares for and treats inmates in correctional facilities. The position requires nurses to attend the needs of vulnerable and incarcerated patients. These nurses attend health as they perform routine and emergency medical procedures for detainees. They offer their services with objectivity and respect because every patient should be treated as one despite their poor choices in the past. In the film, the nurses help to treat those who are severely ill and give vaccinations to the remaining inmates. However, there is a point in the film where the physician admits wanting to have another doctor when the three nurses arrive to assist him. I feel like at times nurses are perceived as inferior in the medical field or looked down upon by doctors. Also, I believe they are often underestimated by them. In this case, the physician prefers having another doctor even after three nurses were sent to help since he was on his own. They still managed to keep everything under control even after the physician passes away which was no surprise since nurses are taught to be responsible with or without
Presented issues such as lack of nursing opportunities for nursing graduates, lack of respect for the nursing profession and nurses being viewed as a threat by doctors continues to be of an existence today. As a nurse, I feel that it is of high importance to highlight these presented issues from the film not only because they were the most outstanding to me but because the nursing profession needs more

The Rolling-Stones are a very popular band that helped define Rock n Roll music for generations.

Gimme Shelter has been known to be one of the greatest rock n roll documentaries ever made.

The nurse-patient relationship is one that is built on a mutual trust and respect that fosters hope and assists in a harmonious healing process. A nurse has the professional duty to the patient to provide physical, emotional, and spiritual care to avoid injury. Any negligence in rendering care to the patient is direct disregard and results in malpractice. This is the crux of the problem with Nurse Ratched. In One Flew over the Cuckoo’s Nest, Nurse Ratched is guilty of malpractice due to the cruel medical treatments she practiced, mental anguish inflicted by her on the patients, as well as the undue authority she had in the hospital that she consistently misused.
In 2008 the worst financial crisis since the great depression hit and left many people wondering who should be responsible. Many Americans supported the prosecution of Wall Street. To this day there have still not been any arrests of any executive on Wall Street for the financial collapse. Many analysts point out that greed of executives was one of the many factors in the crisis. I will talk about subprime loans, ill-intent, punishments, and white collar crime.
Generally, nurses are perceived to be caring and compassionate towards their patients and compliant with doctors or higher ranked co-workers. Nurse Ratched clearly defies the stereotypical role of a nurse by completely emasculating men. Because the nurse was a former military nurse, her ward runs similar to those run in the military: “Army nurses, trying to run an Army hospital” (Kesey 240). She implemented rigid rules and policies that can be seen as both necessary yet unjust.
The film The Liberator portrays the life of Simon Bolivar, an influential activist in the revolutions against the Spanish Empire in South America. The movie does a great job in displaying the many aspects of Simon Bolivar, what he stood for and the way he felt towards his people. Like the majority of films this The Liberator has its flaws.
nurse manipulates the patients by forcing them to give up many of their personal secrets. They
The Hurt Locker is a war film that is set in Iraq during the Iraq War and fits in the adventure and action genre. The plot is about a three man bomb defusal team consisting of James, Sanborn, and Elridge finding themselves is extreme, life-threatening situations where they must defuse explosives over the violent conflicts. The director, Kathryn Bigelow, has done a good job with the mise-en-scene, making the setting overall extremely believable, giving a sense of realism in the film. The film’s mise-en-scene creates a believable Iraq War settings with the use costumes, weaponry, and all the grime and dirt present in places which sells the idea. Sounds and symbolism is used to show heavy tension amongst the soldiers .The film also contrasts James’s time in Iraq and his life back in America using the Supermarket scene. The idea portrayed in this film is the addiction to war which can be seen in James.

‘Our interest in the parallels between the adaptation inter-texts is further enhanced by consideration of their marked differences in textual form,’
The facility should have written statement to refer to in case of emergency to help and protect the health care workers that are onsite. So that it would minimize the confusion. We all know that in the case of cardiac arrest time is very critical. The nurse wasted the patient greatest opportunity of survival by standing there and refusing care. It’s the policy of this facility to not make care for cardiac arrest patient difficult. I understand at 87 years of age the end result is most likely not going to be a promising, but I would help to know that there are some people who are willing to help. I hope the nurse learned her lesson and stand clear of confusion for future patient that reside the
Gimme Shelter is a movie that was written and produced by Ron Krauss in 2014 based on a true story of the cycle abuse can have on someone. In the beginning the main character Agnes ‘Apple’ is panicking as she is looking in the mirror chopping her head off about to run away from her home. Her mother is an abusive drug addict and a prostitute, and Agnes was finally getting the courage to leave her for good. She goes in search for her father that she has never met, and when she finally found him she asks for his help. Her father Tom actually considers helping her until his wife and him find out that Agnes is caring a child. Agnes makes it a point in the movie saying that the letter her dad wrote her before she was born was the only thing that
Worldwide, nurses have developed themselves into professionals with a great deal of knowledge. Despite these developments towards professionalism, nurses are still portrayed in a misleading and inaccurate way and are not given the recognition for the skills they have acquired. The essence of nursing is not always clear and nurses still suffer from stereotypes (Hoeve,2014). A stereotype can be defined as “a cognitive representation or impression of a social group that people form by associating particular characteristics and emotions with a group” (Smith and Mackie, 2007). Of the many types of nursing, a very popular stereotype that is depicted of nurses is being doctor’s handmaiden and only performing repetitive and simple tasks (Hoeve,2014.) This public image of nursing does not match their professional images, in fact, it is quite the opposite. Nurses are strong independent individuals that play just as big a role in the hospital as due the doctors or surgeons. The problem is nurses are not depicted as professionals and the public is not aware that nursing today is very theory-based oriented and a scholarly profession. Over the last few decades, nursing gone through extensive and important
