Abstract
This paper describes four goals and objectives of the writer that would improve her nursing practice. It describes each goal or objective and then discusses how it would be beneficial to herself as the nurse. It particularly focuses on the ability to discover innovative solutions, the ability to analyze patient issues and the ability to evaluate nursing practice at both a personal and team level.
From the Paper
"The third goal in the training process that I believe would be effective is the goal of effectively analyzing the health care of patients through an understanding of all issues that are impacting the patient. This goal meets with Bloom's Taxonomy's focus on analysis and is imperative to the total care of patients in the nursing field. This is because each patient has the ability of being impacted by the environment outside of the health care system, support groups, financial concerns, emotional issues and cultural identity ("Nursing", n.d., sec. 1). For this reason the nurse's ability to analyze the circumstances of all patients in the obstetrical field is significant to the overall care of each individual."

From the Paper
"In a qualitative research study, Amaro, Abriam-Yago and Yoder, examine several major issues concerning nursing education in the current environment. Their study, entitled "Perceived
Barriers for Ethnically Diverse Students in Nursing Programs", addresses several important aspects of nursing education that are largely overlooked by administrators and professionals in the field. These issues, as they relate to ethnic minority presence among nursing staff, are: increasing healthcare costs, tax revenue concerns, general shortage of nursing professionals, and an imbalance of ethnic nurses in comparison to ethnic patients (Amaro, Abriam-Yago & Yoder, 2006). These and other researchers feel that, in addition to the overall shortage of nursing staff of any demographic make-up, a worsening trend of loss of ethnic minorities among existing and future nursing staff is unsustainable in the mid to long-term."

Abstract
For the nurse, there can be little doubt that the primary function is to provide the best care possible within the limits of policy, practice and ability. To that end, there are limits to what a person can provide and the self, not the institution, determines those. Over the next five years, I will be embarking upon and completing a journey, the end of which will find me in a hospital or clinical setting as a nurse with direct impact and influence upon the outcome of treatment. It will be my responsibility to provide the best care possible, to be aware of the needs of the setting, the physicians and the patient and to be able to balance all of those in my actions. I will be responsible for compartmentalizing my day, my life and all of the demands of the job so that I may remain focused upon the tasks at hand. It will also be an imperative to function fully within the team environment and to be a complete and active member in that team. Finally, it will be incumbent upon me to never stop learning about my practice and craft. It is for these reasons that the development of personal goals is so significant.

Abstract
This paper explains that problems in the hospital environment have created a high turnover among experienced nurses whose jobs are being filled by new graduate nurses, especially for the night shifts where there is the least backup support for these experienced nurses. The author reports that preceptor/residency programs have been developed for new graduate nurses to provide orientation to the specialty areas, such as critical care, medical/surgical and psychiatry and to help these new nurses address the challenges they face in their new positions. The paper indicates that, although there are relatively few articles available on mentorship for graduate nurses, studies do indicate the importance of these orientation programs not only to improve clinical care but also to decrease nursing staff turnover, preceptor burnout and the financial burden such turnover costs the healthcare system.
From the Paper
"Marcum and West (2004) examined the effect of a structured mentoring program on the retention of nurses within a healthcare system. In this study, twenty new graduate nurses were enrolled in a "New Graduate Orientation Program" which had been developed when the need to retain nurses was identified. The program used for this study marked an entirely new was of thinking for this particular organization, and was managed in a stepwise approach. Management appeared to have significant by-in to the plan. Current staff was polled to identify career goals, performance and support issues. At this point it was identified that the largest pool of nurses from whom the organization would have to choose from would likely be the new graduate population."

Abstract
This paper analyzes and examines the FBI's practices and compares it to Max Weber's theory of bureaucracy. Weber provided a theory regarding model bureaucracy that is utilized by many corporations and individuals today. The FBI is an organization that epitomizes Weber's theory of model bureaucracy. This paper discusses the shortcomings of the FBI and concludes with recommendations for improving the FBI's bureaucracy.
From the Paper
"In comparing and contrasting the FBI's goals, objectives, and practices to Weber's model bureaucracy, numerous issues should be examined. First, do the FBI's real objectives differ from its stated goals and principles? Historically, the FBI's stated goals and principles are to ensure national security and serve the public. While the FBI ardently remains committed to pursuing and maintaining these objectives, often times, the FBI becomes so bogged down in bureaucracy that its real objectives become clouded and differ from its stated goals."

Abstract
This paper is a combination of two papers, starting with an overview of the program objectives set forth by this LPN-to-Associate Degree nursing program and finishing with a summary. The second section of this paper is an overview and summary of the program's corresponding outcomes.
From the Paper
"The objectives of this program are tied into the program itself: to educate Licensed Practical Nurses (LPN) to become Associate Degree (AD) nursing professionals. In a recent scholarly piece on academic nursing, Cindy Acton (2004) notes the needs "to fulfill multiple purposes, providing care to underserved populations, clinical experiences for nursing students, and practice opportunities for faculty." The first set of objectives for this program is similar. First, these multiple purposes are addressed as the program objectives look to personalize each student's program based on such things as bio-psychosocial principles, cultural preferences, and growth and development."

900 words (approx. 3.6 pages), 2 sources, $ 35.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
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."

As a result, healthcare providers have been forced to be innovative in the way that they attract nurses to their institutions and recruiting efforts..."

Abstract
As cigarette-smoking has been directly related to lung cancer, so have smoking-cessation programs been linked to risk-reduction in incidents of lung cancer. The role of a practitioner in these programs is crucial and in long-term care situations, the role of the nurse in delivering these programs can be directly connected to decreases in patient-smoking and to decreases in the risks for incidents of lung cancer.

Abstract
A study designed to examine the learning styles of nursing students in undergraduate programs at the baccalaureate and associate level. Student age, gender, and academic performance in nursing courses is also investigated to determine the way in which these factors are associated with student learning styles. The purpose of the study is to assess the degree to which such factors represent important variables for nursing educators to consider in developing and implementing plans for retaining nursing students. As it has been suggested that a major factor responsible for student success or failure is the effectiveness of the teaching-learning process, it is hoped that the findings of the study will be useful in aiding nursing education programs to more fully respond to the learning needs of student nurses.

From the Paper
"As evidenced throughout the literature, extensive efforts have not been implemented to study the degree to which teachers do actually use a different style when teaching adults. Two seminal studies (i.e., Beder & Darkenwald, 1982; Gorham 1984, 1985) examined this area by investigating the following questions: Do teachers teach adults in a different way, and if so, what are these differences? In both studies, subjects were teachers who taught both adults and preadults. In the Beder and Darkenwald study, information was collected solely through a self-report questionnaire. Gorham used an adaptation of Beder and Darkenwald's questionnaire for the initial phase of her study, followed up with classroom observations of a small number of her sample for a second phase."
