At the beginning of last year, I faced a personal experience which made me want to pursue a career in Nursing. The discovery of my grandfather Alzheimer’s, followed by my grandmother’s depression and ultimately anaemia was a shock. By caring for my grandparents I gained lots of experience spending time in hospitals, communicating with doctors and other healthcare professionals but most importantly experiencing the psychological traumas of such events. My personal experience as a carer has helped me empathise the emotional turmoil patients and their families experience.
To research further into a career in Nursing, I attended a master class at ‘The University of Nottingham’ which gave me an understanding of the broad spectrum of healthcare professions. I also completed a work placement in the NHS working in Phlebotomy, Physiotherapy, District Nursing, Intermediate Care and Podiatry. Through work experience with District Nurses I realised the need to reassure people in difficult situations. I enjoyed engaging with patients and found it useful understanding how important this skill is ...
The Hunger Games was a critically acclaimed movie when it came out; however, some critics would argue that the movie can be sometimes too violent for its intended audience. In this essay I would dissert Brian Bethune’s essay “Dystopia Now” in order to find its weaknesses and compare the movie Battle Royale with his essay.
Expanded and strengthened state private insurance companies are to be expected since more younger Texans enter the market thanks to the premium support. Texas can expect savings through more proper use of medical care, lower numbers in Medicaid, and savings from increased recipient cost sharing. Texas must refuse to comply with the new high-risk pools. There are many reasons Texas should not comply but the main reason is poor design. Currently, eighteen states have decided not to participate in these pools, Texas is undecided. Any person with a pre-existing medical disorder whom has been without insurance for six month will qualify. The law gave the Department of Health discretion in determining with conditions qualifies. Theoretically, the Department of Health could say the flu is a pre existing medical condition. If Texas does not refuse to comply with these pools it is only a matter of time before the demand will exceed the supply. A huge concern is when the funding is gone what do the state politicians do. I see two options. One, state officials will end the coverage all together and pull the plug. Two, continue to allow the program to run with the use of state tax dollars.
Our course, Transition to Professional Nursing, is barely two weeks old and already I am being enlightened and challenged to expand my experience of nursing. I will attempt to explain my personal journey and experience thus far including how and why I got here, my beliefs about nursing and related values, and my visions for the future.
A nurse’s role in our society today is exceptionally significant. Nurses are somewhat idolized and looked to as our everyday “superman”. “The mission of nursing in society is to help individuals, families, and groups to determine and achieve physical, mental, and social potential, and to do so within the challenging context of the environment in which they live and work” (“The Role of a Nurse/Midwife”). Many Americans turn to nurses for delivery of primary health care services and health care education (Whelan). In our country, there is constantly someone in need of health care. There will always be a baby being born or a person dying, someone becoming ill or growing old. Some people due to their physical and/or mental state of health are completely dependent on a nurse and wouldn’t be able to get through the simple obstacles of every day, or achieve the necessary requirements of a simple day without their aid. Not only do nurses help, and assist you when you’re sick, but also act to promote good health to others. They end...
Comets have amazed, interested, and driven scientists to study them often. Comets like the Hale-Bopp have been seen by millions of people. Since the discovery of comets, scientists, astrologers, or and even your next door neighbor have been interested in discovering or studying comets. Like Halley’s Comet which has had a real impact on the history of comets.
Fate is the power which predetermines inevitable events that are destined by its force. What has destined by fate cannot be changed whether it is love, hatred, or any other part of life. Romeo and Juliet, a play written by William Shakespeare, is based on the tragic love story of two lovers, Romeo and Juliet. All throughout the play, fate fights against their will to live together happily. Love, coincidences, and timing were all factors of fate which doomed the lives of the star crossed lovers.
Gothic fiction is a genre of literature consisting of horror, darkness, death, terror, castles and many other horrific elements to create suspense and to engage the reader. During the 18th century this specific genre became popular with the novel “The Castle of Otranto”, and later on developed into other known stories such as “Frankenstein” and “Dracula”. The name gothic is referring to the scary buildings which many of these stories takes place in. The gothic genre has also developed into German gothic and Victorian gothic.
As we all know, life reflects Poetry, poetry nurture each soul, poetic beauty of salvation. That is the unchanging values seem to never change in the lives of each of us. When I was young, my mom put me to sleep by the soothing poem. So, I was familiar with the verse. Last week, I read two poems “As I Walked out one evening” and the “The more loving one”, which were written by W.H. Auden. English is m second language, so it is hard to understand the English’s poem by form or theme. However, that is an interesting experience for me anyway. After read, I really like both of them, but I prefer the “As I walked out one evening”, because it relates to human condition such as the lovers and the clocks.
I plan to pursue a degree in Computer Engineering with an emphasis in technology engineering. I have been interested in this field from the time I work fixing my brothers bikes and mine and, most recently days helping my father after school. Just working with my hands is something that gets my attention and enjoy many new things. This is why I believe that computer engineering is the right career for my future. Ever since I was in seventh grade electronics has been one of my favorite subjects. I knew I wanted to be an engineer when I completed my science fair project I have always worked on electrical currents, the flow of current from its positive charge to its negative charge. What helped me understand this concept was when we had the electricity unit my fr...
From a very early age, I always considered myself to be a creator of art. Taking scrap notebook paper, I would gleefully create absurd, yet often amusing comic books for my parents. When this mode of creativity no longer appealed to me, I vowed to teach myself how to type. I wanted to expand my stories into something larger than just drawings on lined notebook paper. My family could not afford a computer and learning to type was not a privilege that was readily available to me through my elementary education. Still, I yearned to expand my stories into more than just drawings on lined notebook paper. After receiving an old computer from my grandmother, I began to type stories on the basic application of Microsoft Wordpad. With my two index fingers hard at work, I was able to shape stories that ranged from short mysteries to full-blown soap operas. From that point, I continued to find ways to express my voice. It wasn't until the end of my high school experience that I realized just how important my voice was. I often turned to mainstream media to find images and stories of men who were black, lower class, and gay in America. What I found, sadly, was that they rarely existed in heavily circulated media. I sought out communities that nurtured these narratives, and while I found a few in my hometown of Nashville, TN, they often would disband and fall apart. I never stopped looking, though.
The definition of a Police Officer is a Hero: an ordinary person facing extraordinary circumstances and acting with courage, honor, and self-sacrifice. Police officers are the real heroes of our society who put their lives on the line every day to protect us and our families. A Police Officer is an ordinary person that has to face many difficult situations throughout the course of his duties. A Police Officer is required to risk his own life to save people that he has never met in his life. There are not many people that have the courage and desire to venture into this field. For those who do, there are many reasons for becoming a police officer, but perhaps the most compelling reasons are that the job allows a person to make a difference, to make a change, and to perhaps even save a life. Other advantages, in addition with the challenges are the job security, prestige, and the pension. My dream job is to become a Police Officer that will give me a challenging career, a job with good salary and an opportunity to serve my community.
In the first year of my career, I worked in Benin and Nigeria as an operation coordinator supporting Chinese manufacturers in logistic and distribution management in Western Africa. Within a short period of time, I established a good relationship with local partners and started to crystallize a realization that a career in International Business was my real calling and the goal of my life is to change the image of Made in China products from cheap quality copycats to affordable good stuffs.
At the age of 36, mom decided to return back to college to obtain her nursing degree. This wasn’t a hard decision for her to make. The April before she enrolled in school my great grandmother passed away. This major dilemma played a major role in mom’s returning back to school. She had taken care of my great grandmother for months before she passed away, and decided that she wanted to make an impact on the lives of geriatrics.
Shark culling is still being a problem over many years in WA. The catch and kill program has been applied to sharks where the sharks will get killed if they found the sharks over 3 metres. They are using a technique where they put the blood and sharks get attracts to blood they come near the blood and then kill the sharks in where they should use a tracking system like the United States. So they track the sharks so everyone knows where the sharks are on that beach or not. Sharks are considered as main spices in the ocean which means that sharks are extremely important in maintaining a balance of marine ecosystems. (Riesa Su, 2014) Removing all the sharks from an ecosystem can lead to a massive shift in the balance and from which the food chain can be affected (mewing J, 2010).The shark culling should be stopped do not need to kill them. Sharks live in their home they only do attacks when people attempt to go near them. The government did not notice that they are also killing animals that live under water and the animals like dolphins, sea turtles like creatures (Brawny sphere) .The WA Governments shark cull policy is an infective, and damaging the policy.
