Abstract
This paper looks at nursing and obstetrical nursing and investigates what agencies police and design the curricula for these fields. The State Boards of Nursing and the National League for Nursing Accrediting Commission are examined and the policies and standards that they set are discussed as well as the required curriculum content and development they oversee. Their impact upon curriculum development and revision is also reviewed.
From the Paper
"In the arena of nursing, there are so many specialties, so many fields, so many types of nurses, that there must be governing and regulatory bodies. Without such organizations that regulate and control nursing and nursing education programs, there would not be a singular and uniform set of expectations for this nation's nursing professionals. The two organizations that will be discussed in regard to how they influence the regulation of nursing, and more specifically how they could influence obstetrical nursing, are the National Council of State Boards of Nursing (NCSBN) and the National League for Nursing Accrediting Commission (NLNAC). The first of the two governing agencies that this paper will discuss and investigate is the NCSBN."

Abstract
This research proposal addresses the need for research into the field of obstetrics and how it impacts male nursing. The proposal uses a literature review to support the need for research and provides suggestions about how to conduct the research.
From the Paper
"The field of nursing has always proved to be challenging for men to enter. Society has a general mindset that men become doctors and women become nurses. In the past few decades society has come to accept females in the role of doctor but that had to do with females reaching to ?better? themselves and was considered an accomplishment. Unfortunately men becoming nurses were at first considered settling for less than they could be. In addition there was a mindset that make nurses only entered the field if they were gay, because that made it acceptable to do a females work. As the years marched forward and more men proved to be competent and capable nurses the stigmas began to fall away and the acceptance began."

Collaborative Practice in Nursing, 2005.
This paper discusses collaborative practice in nursing by using a case study of the labor and delivery of a 16-year old woman.
1,395 words (approx. 5.6 pages), 5 sources, APA, $ 46.95

Abstract
This paper explains that the health care field has developed collaborative practice in which each member of various professions within the health care field, including physicians, nurses, ancillary departments, patients and patient families, works together by sharing knowledge and insights on how to deliver high-quality patient care. The author points out that nursing diagnosis is classified as a language for nursing to standardize its practice, which allows nurses to work towards patient care in a uniform pattern by providing the nurse with a plan and interventions. The paper stresses that the primary difference between nursing diagnosis and collaborative care is that nursing diagnosis is intended for the nursing community solely; whereas, all healthcare fields work together in collaborative care.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"Due to the fact that meconium was noted in the amniotic fluid, the LD nurse will collaborate with the NICU nurse at the onset of delivery. The NICU is extensively experienced with more critical issues concerning newborns. Therefore, the NICU nurse will take the first look at the newborn to make sure there are not any indications requiring more specialized care. If needed, the NICU nurse will transport the newborn quickly to the NICU unit. Even though in this situation the presence of the NICU nurse is more precautionary, her presence is important for the safety of the newborn."

Abortion from a Nurse's Perspective, 2006.
A look at the controversial issue of abortion from the unique perspective of nurses.

Abstract
This paper explores the issue of abortion, primarily as it relates to American women, from the unusual vantage point of obstetrical and gynecological nurses. As the author argues, these medical practitioners may have the greatest contact with the subject. The paper begins with an overview and update on the legal actions and ramifications of abortion. Then the paper studies the moral and ethical values, as seen, felt and practiced by nurses.
From the Paper
"Perhaps not since the vituperative Civil Rights movement in the 1950s and '60s, when ideology turned ugly and caused deaths and injury, has any subject been as vehemently argued as the issue of Abortion. This issue is neither academic nor even, perhaps, objective. A woman faced with an unwanted pregnancy generally understands at some visceral level that there is human life inside her, making that question moot. The fact is that most people agree that abortion should be a rare procedure Abortion is, and likely will always be, fraught with emotional and physical turmoil. The turmoil has brought into focus not merely legal accountings for the (at least) legal approval of abortion (Roe vs. Wade in 1973) but has divided much of society into two sometimes armed and irrational camps.

Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists, 2004.
This paper discusses the need for Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists (CRNA) in rural health care.
1,680 words (approx. 6.7 pages), 5 sources, MLA, $ 54.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains that, because of the lack of physician anesthesiologists in rural areas, the utilization of CRNAs in the rural health care setting is a perfect match. The author points out that the federal government through the Health Care Financing Administration has recently removed the federal requirement that nurse anesthetists be supervised by physicians when caring for Medicare patients. The paper stresses that CRNAs are a wise choice for medically under-served populations because they also can provide services outside of the operating room, such as pain management, obstetrical services, intubations, the initiation of intravenous lines, and lumbar punctures.
From the Paper
"In the recent past, the Bureau of Health Professions in the Health Resources and Services division of the US Department of Human Services administered important programs, which were meant to help alleviate the problem of the shortage of trained healthcare professionals in rural America. These programs allowed for the recruiting and retention of qualified health professionals of all disciplines for practice in rural and classically underserved areas. It is therefore unfortunate that funding for the Health Professions acquisitions programs has decreased to the point where the programs were severely under-funded and unable to accomplish goals set in Title VII of the Public Health Services Act. In addition to the woeful under funding of health professions programs, entitlements were made subject to yearly review and justification and the inability of program administrators to adequately forecast funds made each position opened one of uncertainty, causing a lack of long term stability in the provision of quality health care."

Changing the U.S. High School Curricula, 2003.

Abstract
The paper presents an examination of current failures in U.S. high school curricula. It provides suggestions of how these curricula could be improved to help high school students after graduation gain better jobs and education and to save our future.
From the Paper
"A study by the Education Trust found that fewer than half of high school students who pursue secondary education have completed a full college-preparatory program. This could be one reason for those poor numbers. Additionally, it was found that overworked guidance counselors typically don't have the time to help all students choose their courses wisely. Finally, the study confirmed that a lack of alignment between the high school curriculum and the kind of knowledge and skills required for success in both the workplace and the postsecondary system exists, contributing heavily to the problem."

From the Paper
"Adaptation can be thought of generally as a transition from a previous state to a more suitable state. It often means dealing with a loss of many liberties along with the security of these liberties as well while simultaneously taking up new and unfamiliar responsibilities. In health care, it is a complex concept which can encompass many elements: the health care provider, the hospital or patient environment, the patient's circle of family and friends or most especially, the patient in any number of combinations. This is an important concept to analyze because of the implications in maternal care. This is often a time for life-changing, permanent adjustments in lifestyle, career and personal goals, relationships with one's partner, immediate family and household members (Williams, 1995). By delving into what the concept of adaptation encompasses, this paper endeavors to enable maternal patients and their families to faster embrace the inevitable role of either becoming a parent, transition from being a daughter to a mother, or from parent to grandparent."

Abstract
This paper explains that poetry is a tool to stimulate creative problem solving, build an ability for creative expression, help a child develop literacy skills, and learn other subjects through the imaginative, resourceful use of poetry. The author points out that a 'persona poem' is a poem that is written in the first person; the writer imagines that he or she is an animal, a movie star, a politician, or anything or anyone he or she is not. The paper stresses that innovation and doing the unexpected are extremely important for elementary school teachers when coaxing students to love and use poetry throughout their curricula.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"To move to another area of study, math; the student could write a persona poem pretending to be Albert Einstein?s pencil sharpener. Imagine all the work that sharpener must do ? since Einstein was said to go through a number of pencils each day during his mathematical research and formula writing ? and imagine all the grinding sounds and shavings, too. Or, alternatively, what would it be like to be the number ?1?? Would that be a grand feeling of winning (?number one? can mean the best, the first, the top choice), or would being ?number one? seem like a person had a long way to go to get to ?50??"

"CURRICULUM ISSUES IN HIGHER EDUCATION
Introduction
The Educational Documents Abstracts (ERIC) database lists over 500 current studies addressing curricular issues in higher education. This paper examines a random sampling of these studies in an effort to provide a representative picture of current thought concerning college and university curriculum.
Issues
One curricular issue that has been addressed in several studies (e.g. Abraham, 1990; Council of Graduate Schools in the U.S., 1991) is that of providing curricula that is meaningful and relevant to international students. According to Abraham (1990), one of the pivotal components with respect to providing curricula to international students is the provision of an English reading ..."

»

Abstract
This paper describes how a selected learning theory impacts curriculum design. Included is a discussion of the learning theory "Humanistic:
A. Combs and D. Snygg" and how it impacts curriculum design and the use of this theory in 21st century schools.
From the Paper
"The theory of Combs and Snygg did not have the impact in general that other theorists did but their theory was noticed by a group of humanists. Snygg and Comb's understanding of motivation was stated as: "The basic need of everyone is to preserve and enhance the phenomenal self, and the characteristics of all parts of the field are governed by this need." The individual's view of self is that which is called the phenomenal self. This view is developed over the course of a lifetime and is based on cultural and personal experiential factors."

Abstract
This paper illustrates how the writer performs an in-service for a small group of work colleagues. The in-service is on the topic of newly diagnosed diabetes in pregnant women and is for nursing professionals on the staff of a high-risk obstetrics nursing unit. An introduction is given, the average learner is described, course content is described, instructional methods to be used are given and discussed as to their advantages and disadvantages, educator creativity is discussed and a conclusion is presented.
From the Paper
"The problem of facilitating effective and efficient staff in-services is a large one in the nursing profession. Due to time and staff shortages, as well as the fact that nursing professionals are no longer students, but are indeed skilled professionals, it can be difficult to provide quality training to staff members. Yet, despite the difficulties which face nursing staff educators, in-services are necessary, as continued education is needed to keep nurses on the cutting edge of medical practice, for the sake of the patients. That is why the well-planned and integrated use of instructional methods is so very important to nursing staff in-services. This paper will focus on the use of both traditional and non-traditional instructional methods as they might be incorporated at a staff in-service for a small group of colleagues on a high-risk obstetrics unit."

Abstract
The paper examines how, in Canada, the state plays a leading role in both planning curricula and enforcing attendance at school. The paper describes how this role is growing and becoming more intrusive. This paper analyzes this phenomenon and argues that the state should not play this leading role in planning curricula and enforcing attendance at school. The writer argues that it would serve the interests of learners better if this role were to diminish, rather than grow. The writer concludes that the control needs to pass to teachers, to parents, and even to the children themselves.

The Importance of Arts and Humanities, 2004.
Discusses the importance of including the arts and humanities in school curricula.
868 words (approx. 3.5 pages), 2 sources, MLA, $ 30.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains why it is so important to continue to teach the arts and humanities disciplines in school and details what the negative consequences would be if they were eliminated from school curricula.
From the Paper
"To better understand the aftermath of the exclusion of both or either it is vital to recognize and appreciate the magnitude of the impact they have on both human life and its surrounding circumstances. One music professor feels ?that arts can give students a wide perspective based on historical past and a cultural understanding not possible in a more traditional course? (1). Thus elimination of these forms is likely to engineer the upcoming generation as comparatively less culturally well versed and accepting."

Stephen Crane's "Maggie" and Upton Sinclair's "The Jungle", 2005.
Presents an argument in favor of including Stephen Crane's "Maggie" and Upton Sinclair's "The Jungle" in education curricula.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper uses Elizabeth Ammons' "Expanding the Canon of American Realism" to examine why Stephen Crane's "Maggie" and Upton Sinclair's "The Jungle" should both be included in the education curricula. The paper suggests that the inclusion of these two works will help teach a multicultural point of view.
From the Paper
"In "Expanding the Canon of American Realism", Elizabeth Ammons argues that the canon of American realism needs to reflect its social context of multiculturalism. The canon of realism is defined by teachers who choose what texts they want to teach about, therefore the canon has been composed of works that are considered highly teachable. In that respect, it is subjective and can just as easily be changed according to one teacher's idea of teachability as another's. Elizabeth Ammons takes the..."
