My desire is to become an expert nurse, to have one area where people automatically think of me to help with that issue. I am unsure of what that is or what that looks like. It may be in a classroom setting as I enjoyed teaching in the past or working directly with patients educating them. Educating people on health and managing it is one reason why I decided to enter a nursing program instead of another health care field, so I want to be able to do this on some level.

    1859 Words  | 4 Pages

    Prior to entering the professional role of nursing, a nurse should also determine the principals and personal values that will guide their nursing practice. Personal values, past experiences, and influences of other nurses are what attract many to the profession of nursing. Nurses have a profound impact on the lives of their patients, their families, and the community. Nursing is a constant process of building a prevalent knowledge base while maintaining a sense of compassion and empathy for those during a time of need. Nursing is more than a career, it is an art form that is continuously being molded by personal experiences and the gain of knowledge; what we do with it is that defines us as nurses.

    In Antony and Cleopatra, the important point one must recognize is not the battles present both in love and war, but the toe that is continuously slide across the line which Shakespeare always felt inclined to cross. There were no prototypical male or female protagonists in Shakespeare’s world. It is a factor that should always be acknowledged when stewing over this brilliant playwright’s work. Boundaries were meant to be crossed, and Shakespeare made his belief just as apparent in the sloshing of gender roles in Antony and Cleopatra.

    Each individual gets to a point in life whereby they assess their internal qualities, people reflect their profession aspirations and attempt to see which careers will make them happy in their lives.

  • Sex in Othello and Hamlet

    4011 Words  | 9 Pages

    Shakespeare's message concerning the male preoccupation with masculinity and their resulting fear of feminine sexuality has been portrayed in film, photography, and drawings. The way the women are represented in each genre clearly demonstrates the power of female sexuality. Though separate in style, each artwork clearly shows how the men of the play see the women as sexual powerhouses. The other genres help to reinforce my analysis of the text. In film we can watch hamlet's facial expressions as he reacts to Ophelia's obvious pull over his emotions. Every picture is taken for a reason in photography. Through each frame we are able to analyze the split second of action the photographer intended to capture. Here we are able to see an emotion or movement w...

  • Nursing Career Goals

    37). I believe that everyone has the potential to become an effective leader. Even though I have only been a nurse for about one year and a half, I have gained crucial experiences that enhanced my overall potential as a leader. When I was still an associate student, I demonstrated leadership qualities in the classroom and clinical settings. I was a senator in the Student Government Association (SGA) and an active member of the Louisiana Student Nurses Association (LSNA). Moreover, I utilized my creative-thinking skills to initiate and design pivotal projects in our school, which included a mentoring tool and clinical guide that conveniently fits in a pocket. Once I started my first work as a RN in a fast-paced medical-surgical unit, the fears and challenges of being a novice nurse overwhelmed me for a while. Nonetheless, I was eager and determined to learn new skills and techniques from my preceptor and fellow nurses. Not long after, I was already working on my own pace and managing my patients’ care effectively. Moreover, I showed initiative by undertaking small tasks in the unit like reminding my fellow staff nurses to complete the core measure check lists, making sure that all computer carts and desks are free of unnecessary supplies, organizing the assignment board, and collecting the nurses’ unit phones at the end of the shift. Although these are simple responsibilities, I believe that they require some degree of managerial and leadership skills. Furthermore, I exhibit my leadership potential in my everyday communication and interaction with patients, families, and other healthcare staff. I always advocate for my patients, even if it means having an awkward discussion with the attending doctor. Lastly, I intend to continually learn and hone my expertise, both clinical and leadership knowledge,

  • Gender And Sexuality In Shakespeare's Twelfth Night?

    One of the most prevalent of these “subtle” changes is society’s idea of gender and sexuality. Throughout Shakespeare’s time gender and sexuality were shallow concepts. It was, and is to this day, common knowledge that men are largely thought to be more superior to females. According to McDonald and Orlin, studies by European scientists and physicians suggested that males and females have the same organs, however the male organs protrude due to their

  • As You Like It and Twelfth Night by William Shakespeare

    1126 Words  | 3 Pages

    Shakespearean subtext has been of interest for centuries, to professional scholars and English students and Shakespeare fanatics alike. To most, the subtext is just as important as the writing itself, and this is understandable. Two plays in particular—As You Like It and Twelfth Night—rely significantly on subtext. The audience’s interpretation is based entirely on what is shown to them, including the subtext, and this is on both the playwright’s and the actors’ parts: how it is written, and how it is played. Throughout the ages, implications of homosexual desire have been a matter of dangerous controversy. In the modern world, the gay community is of course more tolerated, and becoming more and more accepted as the struggle for equality continues. In William Shakespeare’s time, there was no such thing as the concept of homosexuality (or sodomy, as it was called back then) being acceptable in any sense—except, perhaps, in comedy. Shakespeare exploits this opportunity quite successfully in the “transvestite comedies” aforementioned, if it is at all indicated by the attention received for the blatant plot twists such as cross-dressing and lovers confused about whom it is that they actually love, and the more subtle, perhaps not even intentional but certainly open-for-interpretation exploration into human nature regarding sexual and/or romantic attraction. Within these themes are distinct similarities and dissimilarities—the former being other women falling in love with the gender-bent characters, and there being happy endings albeit with certain twists; the latter being the specific differences in the relationship dynamic between Antonio and Sebastian in Twelfth Night and everyone else’s dynamics.

    In a good overall summation of the article, the PowerPoint explores the ways in which Shakespeare both adhere to Ovid's use of sexuality and the ways in which Shakespeare metamorphosizes it. Ovid is known to have questioned the established Roman masculine ideal, and this Shakespeare takes even farther in Venus and Adonis when he transforms the traditional gender roles of the hunter and hunted. Shakespeare also transforms Petrarchan conventions through the adaptation of Ovid's focus on "mournful love", the power of love, and the pain of vulnerability for members of both sexes in Venus and Adonis and in much of his poetry.
