According to studies, only 10-15% of people retain the information that they learned in the previous year of school. Students have an increase in their stress levels when they feel as if they don’t know what they are learning or don’t remember what they learned. Many kids lose valuable information through long summer breaks. Year-round schooling is the apex of the educational timeline. Schools should be converted to a year-round calendar due to the many positive effects it has for students.
Today, various training and education can open up a world of opportunity for nursing professionals. Nurses might work with various interests such as community organizations, lawmakers, or national organizations. Some advanced
The socialization of new graduate registered nurse into the field of practice is a pivotal event that helps to develop professional identity as a registered nurse. The process of organisational socialization includes three phases; phase one that includes new employee characteristics, new employee behaviours, organisational efforts, phase two that includes adjustments for new employees and phase three that includes new employee outcomes (Phillips, Esterman & Kenny, 2015). Many factors such as relatedness, internal motivation, role model, theory-practice incongruence, educational experiences and tacit knowledge are important factors to improve professional socialization (Zarshenas et al, 2014). These factors help new graduate nurses transition
With 6 years of clinical nursing experience, working alongside vulnerable service users in both the New Zealand healthcare system and internationally, I am looking to transition from a clinical career into a role that utilises my nursing experience but provides me with new challenges and learning opportunities, and this position sounds like exactly that.
There are many reasons why I have chosen to pursue a profession in healthcare, mainly because I enjoy helping others, I am very personable, and I like to make an impact on the lives of others. However, the primary reason why I want to become a nurse is because of past influences. My mother, and both grandmothers have all been in the medical field as nurses, but the one person who has had the most influence on me, is my doctor, Chris Chapman. He is like a grandfather to me, and truly has had an impact on my life. He has been my doctor for as long as I can remember, due to my mother being his nurse. I have never seen a doctor who is so compassionate towards his patients, and who conditionally cares about them. And for that reason, he has really inspired me. I have always enjoyed going to the clinic for my annual exams, because I knew I would see my friend. In and out of the clinic, he would come and support me, whether it is in my studies, my sporting events, or fulfilling my dreams. I have never really had a connection with anyone else outside my family like that, and I have never seen a man care so much about people.
I chose nursing as my occupation because I believe that it is my calling to help others and to care for those in need. In order to conclude if there is a fit between the healthcare field and myself, I must first ensure that there is a fit between my personal values and the organizations. My values include an environment with patient-centered-care, kindness, honesty, leadership, education, evidence-based practice, and quality nursing practice. It is my philosophy that nurses are given the responsibility to deliver safe and universal care that is centered on the needs of the patient. Patients shouldn’t be viewed as just another ailment or medical diagnosis, but instead as real living, breathing people who need our help and deserve our attention and care. Nurses should be advocates for their patient and encourage them to contribute to their own individual care plan. I also find great importance in keeping a patients confidentiality and unless there is a duty to report. As a nurse the core values should be to focus on the patients needs above your own in order to promote patient health, safety and empowerment.
What is a healthcare war room? “The healthcare war room is a designated place, a room where healthcare professionals meet to brainstorm ways to improve the quality of patient care” (p 552). The majority of healthcare places have designated committees or projects to improve patient care and satisfaction. Generally, “ideas are chosen for pursuit must be assigned to a rainmaker, an individual who takes responsibility for a specific project, charting the course and leading the ship to its destination” (p. 552). As with any project or leadership group there is usually one individual that leads. “A rainmaker makes things happen, generates innovative new ideas and new business models, and takes the art of doing business to new levels” (p. 522).
Literacy is the capacity to read, write, communicate, and solve problems at levels of expertise essential to function on the job, in the family, and society. It is the key to achievement for employees, parents, and community members. Furthermore, it allows individuals to accomplish their goals and dreams as well as to share their gifts with the world around them. For example, Literacy for Life is located in William and Mary’s School of Education; it is a nonprofit organization that promotes adult literacy in the greater Williamsburg area through free customized instruction for both native-born and non-native born learners.
To begin with, I know for sure even if the excitement wears off, you strive for perfection and you will always be determined to improve yourself. Going back to the suggestions you found on the articles review, I believe it is very related to the orientation period. Health care facilities should take into accounts that developing a very detailed, informative, comprehensive and timely adequate orientation program orientation program, will result in recruiting efficient NPs. a well oriented NP will dedicate her time to provide the optimal care with available resources, instead of losing valuable time to search for resources and assistance. I realize that as a new NP, it is impossible to know everything about the system and the resources

In any type of working sector including healthcare one will find a variety of people with different cultural background working together to accomplish the task at hand. In the healthcare setting healthcare personnel’s and staff constantly work together to provide the best service its patients. Every patient is a priority whether it includes direct or indirect care. Every single individual that works in the healthcare settings carry a different type of quality and experience that is very important to the healthcare setting.

Negligence are falls below the standards of law for the protection of others against unreasonable risk of harm. A person has acted negligently if he or she has departed from the conduct expected of a reasonably prudentperson acting under similar circumstances (WHO, 2014).
The Healthcare information system (HIS) is a group of systems used to support and enhance healthcare e.g. Clinical information systems (CISs) ,Administrative information system .Nursing Information System (NIS). (WHO, 2016) These systems combined together provide a standardized nursing language for nurses because it provides a common pattern for all nurses in different locations. (Hebda, Czar & Mascara, 2005) These combinations can reduce a number of medically related errors and improve our health care system.
It’s impossible to lead a life devoid of disasters and set backs. Most of the world’s successful people have had times when they’ve had good reason to consider themselves to be failures. That was the experience of William James, who said: ‘Take the happiest man, the one most envied in the world, and in nine cases out of ten his inmost consciousness is one of failure.’ It isn’t a sin to fail; the real crime is to a failure to attempt. There was an American who failed in business in ’31 and was defeated in politics the following year. Two years later he suffered another business disaster. Soon after, he suffered a nervous breakdown. When he recovered, he had the nerve to make an unsuccessful bid to become a US congressman. The man with that chequered past was Abraham Lincoln, who to begin with might have been written off as one of life’s born losers, but who had the perseverance to shrug off his early reverses and become one of America’s greatest Presidents. His story provides living testimony to the fact that men and women are defeated only when they stop trying.
