The Schlieffen Plan
The aim of the plan
The aim of the plan was to avoid fighting two wars at once (France and Russia)
The Plan
The plan was to attack France, not on the main border, which was fortified, but to attack through Belgium and circle the capital Paris. This is all supposed to happen before the predicted 6 weeks it would take for the Russians to get their army ready for action. This would mean Paris would be taken by Germany, therefore capturing France, then the troops could go across the country and attack Russia.
What actually happened:
* Germans went into Belgium
* Belgians blew up railways which stopped Germans
* Belgians stopped supplies and reinforcements getting to the Germans
* Britain wanted to join war because

The Schlieffen plan failed for many reasons. The trip though Belgium did not go as the Germans wanted. They got slowed down because the Belgian army put up a fight. This meant that the German troops were 10 days late.
The Germans wanted to get the war over with France so that they didn't have to fight Russia at the same time, so when they got delayed, they were in trouble.
On the 29th august, Von Cluck (German general) changed the plan, so that they didn't attack Paris as planned, instead they went east and sent more troops to attack the
criticized for this, he stood by his decision stating that he knew the Russians would force the army into the cold harsh, Russian winter, such as the case of Napoleon. Even though Schlieffen came up with this wonderful and well thought out plan, his successor, General von Moltke, changed the plans entirely.

The history of Magnet Status began in 1992. The American Nurse Credentialing Center first developed of the idea of Magnet Status after extensive research studies were perform during the nursing shortage of the 1980’s. The goal was to find out why some hospitals were able to retain and even recruit nurses during the shortage. It was found that of the 165 hospitals that participated, 41 shared seven core attributes. (Chaffee, Leavitt, & Mason, 2007) These seven attributes were the beginning of what have become the fourteen forces of Magnetism. The attributes or forces are based on nursing standards of care. That is the ability of the hospitals, working with the nursing staff to provide the excellent nursing care. That is care for the patient as well as the nursing staff and the hospital as a whole. The programs first awarded Magnet status in 1994. Since then several hundred have reached Magnet Status with several hundred more in the application process. In 2001 the first international hospital was awarded Magnet status. As with the medical field and even nursing all things must change, this includes the Magnet Program. In 1996 the standards and requirements along with the name evolved and changed. The program became known as the Magnet Recognition program for excellence in Nursing Service with requirements moving from internal review to pu...
A leading cause of this battle was the attack on Fort Douaumont. The French had a plan to reclaim their fort that was taken by the German Army. About 500,000 men were positioned into two forts, Fort Douaumont and Fort Vaux. The Germans did not have the advance in the war as they anticipated. Both armies believed that they were skilled enough to win this battle, but the French would soon take over and recover the territory that they had lost. On October 24, 1916, the French repossessed Fort Douaumont. Erich von Falkenhayn was not happy with the retrieval of the land because of the rank of the French Army at this point in the war.
The magnet designation program recognizes health care organizations for quality patient care, nursing excellence and innovations in professional nursing practice. (Mason, 528). The magnet designation program is an award designed to recognize excellence in patient outcomes and satisfaction of nurses. The American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC) developed the national magnet hospital recognition program in 1980’s on the purpose of recognizing quality patient care, nursing excellences, and professional
Magnet Status is a credential of organizational acknowledgment of nursing superiority((Nursing world). It is given to hospitals that have satisfied the requirements intended to determine the quality and strength of their nursing (Nursing World). The magnet status award is given to hospitals by the American Nurses' Credentialing Center, which is an associate of the American Nurses Association (The truth about nursing, 2012). This award was started in 1990 as a way to recognize hospitals that offer outstanding nursing care(Hopkins Medicine). Since 1990, out of all 7,569 hospitals in the united states, only 258 of those hospitals have received the honor of magnet status (Hopkins Medicine). Magnet status does not come easy, so hospitals must work very hard in order to meet the strict requirements (Hawke, 2003). Magnet status is a

Magnet status is an award given by the American Nurses’ Credentialing Center (ANCC) an affiliate of the American Nurses Association (ANA) to hospitals that meet Magnet status criteria. Upon analysis of the history, concepts and theories which drive Magnet status, and reactions to Magnet status by various professionals, one will see that the Magnet Recognition Program awards an extremely positive accreditation that improves nursing, hospitals, and community image.
The French placed their defense in old, outdated tactics of static warfare. Gone were the days of two sides slugging it out against prepared reinforced defense structures. Closely integrating concentrated armor, infantry, and closely supported by aviation assets all combined to crush France in a matter of only six weeks. France was simply not prepared for this new age of warfare.
Magnet recognition is awarded by the American Nurses Credentialing Center. To date, over 200 hospitals have achieved the recognition of Magnet Status (Kaplow, 2008). Fourteen characteristics described as the Forces of Magnetism are used to promote what a Magnet hospital provides in terms of care. Examples include quality of care, quality of nursing leadership, quality improvement, and professional models of care. The main aspects of the forces involve having RNs taking on responsibility and leadership to help managers create b...
A hospital that obtains magnet status displays “knowledge and expertise for the delivery of nursing care globally” (ANCC, 2008). Magnet status means displaying professionalism in models of care with nursing leadership, organizational structure and evidence based practice. The American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC) provides a model to help aid visually with understanding the components a hospital must achieve to be considered magnet. This 5 component model was designed “to provide a framework for nursing practice and research in the future, as well as serving as a road map for organizations seeking to achieve Magnet recognition” (ANCC, 2008).
France aimed to get revenge on Germany for the Franco - Prussian war of 1970 - 1971 where France were disastrously defeated, Germany aimed to stay free from an invasion from France and keep Austria-Hungary happy as France and Austria- Hungary were on either side of German, and Russia wanted an ally so it could feel safe form Germany.
Many people are confused when asked about fate and destiny. Through an extensive interview of five young adults, I was able to cover a basic understanding on this topic. Three of the subjects in question were generally unsure of how much free will is available, if choices are true or forced upon them by a higher power. The forth believed that destiny has no effect on life. To counteract this variance basic information was given.
Fate is non-existent as one's future is based upon their own personal decisions. It is believing
Fate is the reasoning for why things happen. It is believed that fate is destined and cannot be changed. Fate is supposed to be predetermined from the day you are born or technically you could say before you were born. Fate is somewhat considered a religious idea. It is said by religious people such as people of the church that God controls all things in life. That God is the creator of fate. Logical thinkers believe that there is no such thing as fate. They think that people have a great deal of
