Argument Analysis: Bringing The Outdoors In

With the year-round pressure pertaining to college applications on high school seniors follows the impending decision of choosing an appropriate college major. Generally, the decision-making process involves prioritizing one field of interest over another, however, due to globalization and constant innovation in technology determining a college major has increasingly become the modern day equivalent of the metaphorical line between life and death.

Nevertheless, liberal arts education should be encouraged to be pursued at higher education institutions in USA because it helps

In life some feel the need to prove something to others. That they are better, stronger, or even more intelligent.

For the “old” experience dramatic changes in their development as they face loss, death, and illness.

Honestly, I didn’t understand why Khaled Hosseini's The Kite Runner was so life-changing until a random conversation, two years after I first read the book. Unusual isn’t it - our favorite books typically stand out as soon as we read them. But the best books are the ones that you have to think about, the ones that mean something special - the ones that cause self-reflection.

People would find it hard to believe how someone who has made something of themselves would just give everything up and start a journey into the wilderness. Well that was the story behind Chris McCandless. Chris decided to drop his very successful college life and losing all links with his old life. Chris took a two year journey that went as far as to Mexico and ended in the the woods of Alaska. Some may believe that McCandless went into the wild because he was suicidal or faced a mental illness, but I believe that, he just wanted to find himself as a person so this journey was necessary.

The author describes that the idea of “Being Mortal” developed as he watched his elderly father go through a steep decline in his health and the eventual death. He soon realized that during his medical education and training he was never taught how to help his patients with managing

Mount Everest is a huge 8,848 meter mountain in Nepal. In 1953, Tenzing Norgay and Edmund Hillary became the first people to officially reach the top of the mountain by using the southeast ridge route. "Both Tenzing and I thought that once we'd climb the mountain, it was unlikely anyone would ever make another attempt," Sir Edmund says in an interview with National Geographic. "We couldn't have been more wrong". Over the following decades, Mount Everest has been seen as an opportunity for commercialization. You can now pay thousands of dollars for an experienced climber to guide you up the mountain, along with Sherpas to help you carry your things. This has become such a norm that people have lost sight of the real reason they climb the mountain.

¨Nature never became a toy to a wise spirit¨, as Ralph Waldo Emerson once said. In the 1800’s he went to live in the woods and was deeply humbled by the experience. Even today we can still learn from Emerson 's wisdom. Some of the lessons that Ralph Waldo Emerson shared remain relevant today.

Nurses play an essential role in the healthcare industry. The nurse workforce is made up of licensed nurses: registered nurses (RNs), licensed vocational nurses (LVNs) and licensed practical nurses (LPNs), along with nurse aides. Registered nurses are responsible for assessments of patients’ needs, development of care plans, medication administration, and treatments, while licensed vocational nurses perform specific care under the delegation of the registered nurses and supervisions.

Adequate nursing staffing is essential to both patient care and outcomes, also to the retention of nurses while inadequate staffing creates problems for both the patients and

The health and condition of our patients is where we give our full attention to. Nurses can help improve patient’s health and well being by linking social determinants of health to outcomes (Ref). Research has proven that social determinants of health such as homelessness can affect health outcomes (Ref).We want to give our best effort to help in the development in each individual to regain maximal functional status through independence and self care. We need to make sure that we reach our goals in our plan of care and making sure that we will do everything in our ability to be as healthy as possible and teach them how to maintain being healthy. While ensuring our patient’s health, we should be mindful of our health as nurses as well. We should avoid being in the state of burnout. According to Jean Watson’s theory, she believed that holistic health care is central to the practice of caring in nursing. We need to take proper care of ourselves as well and stay healthy in order to deliver the best quality of care our patients need. Watson mentions the nurse and patient should have a transpirational relationship that could also enhance the patient’s ability for
