This week we have learned about the history of Chamberlain University, Chamberlain College of Nursing, and Deaconess School of Nursing. As you consider that history and the impact on the present and future, please tell us about the history of the previous nursing school you attended. If you are unable to find history information for your school, please profile the history of another school of nursing in your geographic area.

In addition, discuss how can we keep the accomplishments of our previous school, its leaders, and its growth alive for today’s nurses. What are your thoughts?

This assignment focuses on the importance of self-assessment and reflection.

Self-Assessment

Self-awareness is essential for developing leadership skills. Recognizing your own strengths, weaknesses, and values, and understanding emotional intelligence and learning styles can help you to be a more effective nurse leader.

For this assignment, you have the opportunity to take a variety of self-assessments to learn more about yourself and identify your assets and weaknesses as a leader. This will assist you in discovering how you can improve your own self-leadership skills. You will be asked to think critically about your results and submit a reflection as directed below.

Complete each of the following self-assessments. Be sure to document the results of each assessment to assist you in completing the reflection portion of the assignment below.

  1. Emotional Intelligence Assessment: “Emotional Intelligence Test”: http://testyourself.psychtests.com/testid/3038
  2. Personality Assessment: “Personality Traits Test”: http://testyourself.psychtests.com/bin/transfer?req=MnwyMjk2fDE5NTM1MTV8MXwxfDE=&refempt
  3. Learning Styles Assessment: “The VARK Questionnaire: How Do I Learn Best?”: http://vark-learn.com/the-vark-questionnaire/
  4. Values Assessment: “Values Profile”: http://testyourself.psychtests.com/bin/transfer?req=MnwzMzE5fDE5NTM1MTV8MXwxfDE=&refempt
  5. Values Assessment: “Rokeach Values Survey”: http://faculty.wwu.edu/tyrank/Rokeach%20Value%20Survey.pdf
  6. Diversity Assessment: “Cultural Competence Self-Test”: http://www.healthystartpinellas.org/pdf/Self_Assess_5.pdf

Self-Assessment Reflection

Becoming self-aware is an ongoing process requiring introspection. The more often people practice self-reflection, the more opportunities they have to understand their own behaviors and adapt their approaches to working with other people, which can improve both your own and other’s abilities to meet their professional goals.

In a 750-1,000 word reflective essay, address the following:

  1. Briefly summarize the results of each self-assessment.
  2. Identify the leadership style that closely aligns to your philosophy of care, and explain what appeals to you about that style.
  3. Reflect on how you might incorporate elements of that particular style as you exercise leadership in a practice or health care organization setting.
  4. Discuss any particular areas for improvement the assessments helped you identify and some steps for improving your leadership capabilities.

You are required to cite three to five sources to complete this assignment. Sources must be published within the last 5 years and appropriate for the assignment criteria and nursing content.

THE STATE JUDICIAL SELECTION AND REMOVAL PROCESS

The State Judicial Selection and Removal Process

Each state within the United States has its own unique judicial selection process within its own court system. Each state also has unique steps that can be taken to remove a judge from office for disciplinary reasons. In this assignment, you will detail your state’s judicial selection and removal process.
Using the Internet or Strayer University Online Library, research the judicial selection process for different court systems from different states within the U.S. Court System.
Write a 3–4 page paper in which you:

  1. Discuss the judicial selection process of your state and one other state. Include, at a minimum, the qualifications and steps that are taken in order to select judges for the different kinds of courts (Supreme Court, Courts of Appeals, Bankruptcy Appellate Panels, District Courts, Bankruptcy Courts, and Article I Courts) within your specific state.
  2. Next, identify the steps that the relevant persons/entities need to take in order to remove a judge from office for disciplinary reasons for each state.
  3. What impact do you think the qualifications of a judge, and the potential for disciplinary action, have on judicial decision making?
  4. Provide three quality sources—the textbook may be used as one reference source.

This course requires the use of Strayer Writing Standards. For assistance and information, please refer to the Strayer Writing Standards link in the left-hand menu of your course.

1.The nurse working in the cardiac procedures area receives a patient who has undergone a cardiac catheterization via the right femoral artery for evaluation of unstable angina. Prior to the procedure, the patient was NPO for 12 hours, and received a sedative. An IV catheter was placed for administration of the contrast agents and for access in case of an emergency situation. (Learning Objective 6)

  1. What is the rationale for assessing distal pulses immediately after the catheterization?

2.What other assessments should the nurse perform to check for arterial insufficiency?
3.The patient asks why he needs to stay in bed with the leg extended for 2 to 6 hours. How should the nurse respond?
4 After the procedure, why is it important to assess the patient’s BUN, creatinine, and fluid volume status?

Financial Statement Audit – ACCT
Final Project Guidelines
 
 
Please use the following guidelines:
1. Each student will pick two publicly traded companies for two fiscal years. Students will use www.sec.gov (Securities and Exchange Commission) website to obtain information regarding the annual reports and the related material.
2. These publicly traded companies should be in the same industry (Example – Manufacturing, Financial, Utilities etc.).
3. On the SEC website students will look for the following fillings:
a. Annual Report (10-K Report)
b. Proxy Statements (DEF filings). These proxy statements are filed generally within 2 or 3 months after Annual Report.
4. From the Annual (10-K) report students will provide the following information:
a. Company profile and history.
b. Financial information – Net Income, Total Assets and other financial information for calculating various financial ratios. Students have a choice in selecting these ratios (use any 5 financial ratios). Students are required to use the same ratios for both the companies.
c. Students are required to report the current stock price for the companies.
d. Independent Auditor’s Report. Students will determine the type of audit opinion presented in the Audit report (Unqualified, Qualified, Disclaimer or Adverse).
5. From the Proxy (DEF) filings students will provide the following information:
a. Students can find information related to Audit Fees and background information of the Key Officers of the company.
b. Students will report any changes in the Auditor from the prior year and report any reason given for such a change.

As  health care delivery within the global community moves towards a  greater degree of digitization, there will likely be more technical  challenges health care delivery organizations must face as they move  from their existing legacy systems to those that are digital.

In  this Discussion, you will compare and contrast an electronic medical  record (EMR), electronic health record (EHR) and a personal health  record (PHR).

The Institute of Medicine has recommended that electronic health records (EHR) should possess eight core functions including:

• Health information and data
• Result management
• Order management
• Decision support
• Electronic communication and connectivity
• Patient support
• Administrative processes and reporting
• Reporting and population health

To  prepare for this Discussion, research the Internet for information on  EHR, EMR, and PHR, such as can be found at the Web site, http://www.healthit.gov/providers-professionals/benefits-electronic-health-records-ehrs.

In this Discussion, address the following:

•  Identify the primary differences between an electronic medical record  (EMR), electronic health record (EHR), and a personal health record  (PHR).
•  What are the primary technical and design complexity issues with  delivering these eight core functions? Choose one issue and identify how  you would address it.
• How does the integration that is required  between the EHR and other middleware products vary depending on whether  one is running locally, on an office-based LAN, or online within an ASP  model?

Illustrate your points in the context of a patient’s visit to a health care provider.
