Advance Practice Nursing Philosophy The nursing professions deserve a valid philosophy for dedicated service that not only its practitioners but the general public deserves to understand. There are ten words- ten themes- which make up this proposed Advanced Practice philosophy. These words are meant to include the four concepts of nursing- namely, health, person, environment and the nursing profession. These ten words represent my personal beliefs in the nursing profession. The very term "Advance practice" distinguishes these professionals from others. Still, there is a commonality in proposing the ten-word philosophy to live by:

Abstract
The writer of this paper explores the effectiveness as well as the development of the m-learning system. The m-learning project is 64 million Euro, three year, pan-European research and development program supported by the European Commission's Information Society Technologies program. The main distinction between electronic (e)-learning and m-learning is one of accessibility, affordability and portability. The m-learning project has demonstrated that this method of learning can be used as more than just a personal enhancement tool. This paper details how competitive and collaborative learning activities can be activated when conducted with a media board. This paper also discusses the downside of this new technology. According to experts, before the full potential of m-learning's rich content can be realized, the limited memory of mobile devices must be addressed.

"The m-Learning Project has demonstrated that m-learning can be used as more than just a personal enhancement tool. Competitive and collaborative learning activities can be activated when conducted with a Media Board. This tool allows users to divide their mobile phone/PDA screens into sectors containing various projects and communicators. Users send comments consisting of text, audio, pictures, and e-mails tailored to the sectors' different interests and levels. Comments may relate to solving problems competitively, communicating with team members collectively by phone, sending multimedia information to the Media Board, and editing the information on the Media Board into a complete multimedia presentation."

Abstract
This exploratory paper explains that the ways in which women organized themselves for the American Civil War efforts were symbolic of the larger issues of how the two sides made use of their strengths. The North was fired by the zeal of liberation and wasted no effort in pulling its women together in the war effort by fully exploiting their strengths as presented in this paper. However, the author concludes that, hamstrung by psychological, sociological and physical factors, the war efforts of women from the South never really were able to be sustained and, in the end, become victim to a variety of factors, some self-created and some created by nature.

From the Paper
"From the beginning, women's participation in the war efforts in the South were different from those of the North; if the North saw perceptible action in the formation of its association, the South was steeped more in rhetoric and emotional talk than effective actions. Paternalistic in its attitude, since it were men who mostly controlled slaves and women, the South, while on the one hand exhorting women to play a moral role in the war, curtailed their liberty on the other. Even if ordinary women wanted to take part in the war, they were prevented from it."

From the Paper
"The Internet is part of the much talked about "information superhighway" that will bring exciting new communications capabilities. There are still many questions to be answered about what the new systems will entail, what services they will offer, what services the consumer will support, what technologies will be needed, how soon they will be available, and so on. Much about the new information superhighway is uncertain, and comparisons that have been made to existing communications systems and technologies may be interesting and may provide helpful data, but they also may be misleading.

In truth, there will probably be no such thing as an information superhighway and will be a number of different information systems complementing one another and offering different capabilities to different people or for different ..."

Abstract
This paper looks at and discusses the modern leadership displayed by management along with organizational behavior techniques and styles that are adopted by many leading businesses today. The theories of such people as Charles Handy and Peter Drucker are considered and a brief history of managerial techniques is given.

From the Paper
"Management over the years has developed through many phases. The first recognized style of management and leadership was introduced both as a result of and as part of, the industrial revolution. This became known as scientific management. This involved de-powering and de-skilling of workers by the breaking down of tasks into small manageable components requiring little or no judgment or skill on the part of the individual."

From the Paper
"As an intern I made contacts that I would never have had before and learned a little bit more about multi-national business, an area of great interest to me. If I seek employment in an international firm, domestic or otherwise after graduation I will look upon this experience as the core reason for doing so and as a basis for understanding how multinational marketing works. Multinational, i.e. global work environments are the future of marketing and business and internships are one of the only ways that many people will ever experience what that means without making costly professional decisions regarding long term international employment. The internship becomes then an integral step in marketing professionals seeking and learning about what it means to be a marketing professional in a global business world. All marketing majors should do at least one internship as students and where resources allow it should be stressed that a global internship would be preferable and at the very least a multinational company internship that operates domestically."

Abstract
The paper compares and contrasts Ursula Le Guin's characters Ai and Estraven in "The Left Hand of Darkness" with Mark Twain's characters Huck and Jim in "Huckleberry Finn". The paper argues that while both sets of characters seem very different from one another, their similarities and ability to complement and complete one another become apparent as the novels progress.

From the Paper
"In Ursula Le Guin's science fiction novel The Left Hand of Darkness, the main character, and frequent first-person viewpoint character, is Genly Ai a young, innocent, and seemingly inexperienced envoy, who also happens to be black. Ai has been sent alone, from Earth, to an unfamiliar perpetually cold and snowy planet called Gethen, meaning (appropriately) "Winter". As Le Guin tells us, of this freezing planet, and, by implication, the values of those who live there: "The death-sentence is rare in Karhide. Life on Winter is hard to live and people there generally leave death to nature or to anger, not to law" (p. 41)."

Abstract
The paper introduces, discusses, and analyzes the work "Spirit of Fire: The Life and Vision of Teilhard de Chardin" by Ursula King. The paper summarizes the book, discussing how faith and science complement one another. The paper states that King's biography of the scholar Teilhard de Chardin illustrates how science and faith can indeed complement and support one another.

From the Paper
"Banned from discussing his theories by the Catholic Church during his career, Teilhard de Chardin did become discouraged, but he refused to stop believing science and faith could balance each other. In the late 1930s he wrote, "[G]ood is ... everything that brings a spiritual growth to the world" (King 166). Thus, he explains his ability to balance science and faith. Science, at least in his mind, brings a spiritual growth to the world by explaining how systems work and live together, and how they have evolved. Science has made broad achievements in the world, from halting illness to discovering life-changing global problems that must be solved to ensure the survival of humankind. Thus, science brings knowledge, but also brings spiritual growth, and in that, it cannot be bad."

Abstract
This paper examines the true significance of Harvey's discovery of the circulation of blood, making the case that this discovery was crucial towards establishing the scientific method that was being advanced by Francis Bacon. The paper notes that this marked the beginning of medical science, which separates itself from traditional medicine, which included the hermetical sciences and folk lore medicine. The paper traces the history of medicine through its traditional phase up to the groundbreaking discovery of Harvey. The paper moves on to consider the role of Paracelsus as forming a bridge to modern medical science, and takes an in-depth look at Bacon's method of induction and examines how it was instrumental in establishing modern medicine. Finally, it shows how the contributions of Harvey and Bacon complement each other in a historically significant way. The paper explains that Harvey's rediscovery of the circulation of blood is significant not only for the fact itself, but more so because it demonstrated the new science of induction. The paper concludes that the contributions of Harvey and Bacon each complemented the other, and together they came to establish experimental science at the heart of society.

From the Paper
'"From such absurdities, Harvey concludes that blood must be circulating through the body (81). He describes two circulatory systems. The pulmonary system circulates blood between the heart and the lungs, while the larger circulation was throughout the body, being carried forth by the arteries, and returning to the heart via the veins. He explained the function of valves as restricting the venous blood from flowing backwards, which he demonstrating by applying a tight ligature to the upper arm. After releasing it, the venous blood would try to flow backwards, but would be blocked at the valves, which showed up as swelled. By applying pressure on the swelling both ways, he demonstrated that the blood could only flow in one direction."
