â€Å"I have an emergency!† The administrator was short of breath. â€Å"†¦ call for the President.† Tench looked suspicious. â€Å"Not now, you don't!† â€Å"It's from Rachel Sexton. She says it's urgent.† The frown that obscured Tench's face had all the earmarks of being more one of puzzlement than outrage. Tench peered toward the cordless telephone. â€Å"That's a house line. That is not secure.† â€Å"No, ma'am. In any case, the approaching call is open in any case. She's on a radiophone. She needs to address the President right away.† â€Å"Live in ninety seconds!† Tench's virus eyes gazed, and she held out an insect like hand. â€Å"Give me the phone.† The administrator's heart was beating now. â€Å"Ms. Sexton needs to address President Herney straightforwardly. She instructed me to delay the question and answer session until she'd conversed with him. I guaranteed â€Å" Tench ventured toward the administrator now, her voice a fuming murmur. â€Å"Let me reveal to you how this functions. You don't take orders from the little girl of the President's rival, you take them from me. I can guarantee you, this is as close as you are getting to the President until I discover what the heck is going on.† The administrator looked toward the President, who was presently encircled by mouthpiece specialists, beauticians, and a few staff individuals talking him through conclusive corrections of his discourse. â€Å"Sixty seconds!† the TV chief hollered. Locally available the Charlotte, Rachel Sexton was pacing fiercely in the restricted space when she at last heard a tick on the phone line. A rough voice went ahead. â€Å"Hello?† â€Å"President Herney?† Rachel shouted. â€Å"Marjorie Tench,† the voice rectified. â€Å"I am the President's senior consultant. Whoever this is, I should caution you that trick calls against the White House are infringing upon â€Å" For the wellbeing of Christ! â€Å"This isn't a trick! This is Rachel Sexton. I'm your NRO contact and-â€Å" â€Å"I am mindful of who Rachel Sexton is, ma'am. Also, I am far fetched that you are she. You've called the White House on an unbound line advising me to interfere with a significant presidential communicate. That is not really appropriate MO for somebody with-â€Å" â€Å"Listen,† Rachel smoldered, â€Å"I advised your entire staff a few hours prior on a shooting star. You sat in the first line. You watched my preparation on a TV sitting on the President's work area! Any questions?† Tench fell quiet a second. â€Å"Ms. Sexton, what is the importance of this?† â€Å"The significance is that you need to stop the President! His shooting star information is all off-base! We've quite recently taken in the shooting star was embedded from underneath the ice rack. I don't know by whom, and I don't have the foggiest idea why! Be that as it may, things are not what they appear up here! The President is going to underwrite some truly errant information, and I firmly exhort â€Å" â€Å"Wait one goddamned minute!† Tench brought down her voice. â€Å"Do you understand what you are saying?† â€Å"Yes! I presume the NASA head has coordinated an enormous scope extortion, and President Herney is going to get trapped in the center. You've in any event got the chance to defer ten minutes so I can disclose to him what's been happening up here. Somebody attempted to execute me, for God's sake!† Tench's voice went to ice. â€Å"Ms. Sexton, let me give you an expression of caution. In the event that you are thinking again about your job in helping the White House in this battle, you ought to have thought of that well before you by and by embraced that shooting star information for the President.† â€Å"What!† Is she in any event, tuning in? â€Å"I'm revolted by your showcase. Utilizing an unbound line is a modest trick. Suggesting the shooting star information has been faked? What sort of insight official uses a radiophone to call the White House and discussion about grouped data? Clearly you are trusting somebody blocks this message.† â€Å"Norah Mangor was executed over this! Dr. Ming is likewise dead. You must caution â€Å" â€Å"Stop in that spot! I don't have the foggiest idea what you're playing at, however I will remind you-and any other person who happens to block this call the White House has recorded testimonies from NASA's top researchers, a few prestigious non military personnel researchers, and yourself, Ms. Sexton, all underwriting the shooting star information as exact. Why you are out of nowhere changing your story, I can just envision. Whatever the explanation, see yourself as diminished of your White House post as of right now, and in the event that you attempt to pollute this revelation with any progressively ludicrous charges of injustice, I guarantee you the White House and NASA will sue you for maligning so quick you won't get an opportunity to gather a bag before you go to jail.† Rachel opened her mouth to talk, yet no words came. â€Å"Zach Herney has been liberal to you,† Tench snapped, â€Å"and honestly this bears a resemblance to a modest Sexton exposure stunt. Drop it at the present time, or we'll squeeze charges. I swear it.† The line went dead. Rachel's mouth was all the while hanging open when the skipper thumped on the entryway. â€Å"Ms. Sexton?† the chief stated, peering in. â€Å"We're getting a swoon signal from Canadian National Radio. President Zach Herney has recently started his press conference.† 68 Remaining at the platform in the White House Briefing Room, Zach Herney felt the warmth of the media lights and realized the world was viewing. The focused on barrage performed by the White House Press Office had made an infection of media buzz. The individuals who didn't find out about the location by means of TV, radio, or on-line news constantly caught wind of it from neighbors, colleagues, and family. By 8:00 P.M., anybody not living in a cavern was hypothesizing about the subject of the President's location. In bars and parlors over the globe, millions inclined toward their TVs in worried miracle. It was during minutes like these-confronting the world-that Zach Herney genuinely felt the heaviness of his office. Any individual who said power was not addictive had never truly experienced it. As he started his location, be that as it may, Herney detected something was wrong. He was not a man inclined to organize dread, thus the shiver of fear presently fixing in his center alarmed him. It's simply the size of the crowd, he let himself know. But then he knew something different. Intuition. Something he had seen. It had been such a seemingly insignificant detail, and yet†¦ He instructed himself to overlook it. It was nothing. But it stuck. Tench. Minutes prior, as Herney was getting ready to make that big appearance, he had seen Marjorie Tench in the yellow foyer, chatting on a cordless telephone. This was bizarre in itself, yet it was made all the more so by the White House administrator remaining next to her, her face white with dread. Herney couldn't hear Tench's telephone discussion, however he could see it was petulant. Tench was contending with a fervency and outrage the President had only from time to time observed even from Tench. He delayed a second and grabbed her attention, curious. Tench offered him the go-ahead. Herney had never observed Tench offer anybody the go-ahead. It was the last picture in Herney's psyche as he was signaled onto the stage. On the blue mat in the press territory inside the NASA habisphere on Ellesmere Island, Administrator Lawrence Ekstrom was situated at the focal point of the long discussion table, flanked by top NASA authorities and researchers. On an enormous screen confronting them the President's initial articulation was being channeled in live. The rest of the NASA team was clustered around different screens, abounding with energy as their president propelled into his question and answer session. â€Å"Good evening,† Herney was stating, sounding uniquely hardened. â€Å"To my individual compatriots, and to our companions around the world†¦ â€Å" Ekstrom looked at the enormous burned mass of rock showed conspicuously before him. His eyes moved to a backup screen, where he watched himself, flanked by his most somber staff, against a scenery of an enormous American banner and NASA logo. The emotional lighting made the setting resemble a neomodern painting-the twelve witnesses at the last dinner. Zach Herney had transformed this into a political sideshow. Herney had no way out. Ekstrom still felt like a TV preacher, bundling God for the general population.

A Creative Response to Belonging

Ryan’s Story †Untitled so far You remain in your room like a bolted away Rapunzel. Well not secured truth †matter of the decision rather. It’s like red hot winged serpents assault you each time you endeavor to get away from your sanctuary. You study, you work, concentrate once more, read a few, at that point you concentrate some more. It’s the equivalent redundant daily practice during your time between a similar four egg-white dividers. ‘No presence of mind! ’ you are told. ‘None what-so-ever’, consumes your sensitive skin. What are you expected to do? Visit the Wizard of Oz and request a glass mind? Or on the other hand perhaps fixate on Thomas Paine for possibly 14 days? No, lone the fire hurlers introduced at the exit is anticipating your alleged ‘enlightenment’ †and even the torment isn’t crossed knuckles with mortification. You feel caught yet all the while free †liberated from any such association with the fire you have been acquainted with or rather such cultural autocracy controlling all your contemplations, introducing an increasingly confounded, freed Rapunzel. You are to some degree associated with encompassing individuals regardless of the shut entryway. An interconnected spider’s web rings a bell, maybe behind a progression of branches and fought leaves. Despite the fact that you are to some degree familiar with these individuals, you can never appear to be truly ‘connected’ with them. Perhaps it’s the shut entryway? Or on the other hand possibly it’s the way that you over-break down everything until where self-disillusionment smacks your red hard over the face. All you need is to be distant from everyone else, a long way from what these individuals think, however yet need to be a piece of the desirous spider’s web huge enough for your commitment yet conceivably not sufficient. You think about a comparative instance of Emily Dickinson. She needs to post her letter, she needs to distribute her verse however at long last she doesn’t in view of dread. Dread of what others may think on the off chance that it, forlorn in her isolating room. That comparative shut entryway difficult to consider, however ameliorating to acknowledge all in all. What individuals consider you, it’s a frightening idea truly. What contemplations spread around in other’s cerebrums, without your control or preference. You look outside your window, fairly like the day preceding. A sky loaded up with cloud confining the sun’s valuable touch. The lime tree half passing on, half developing amidst a bug pervaded condition. The green grass associated with the flimsy line of tail, arrives at higher to the sky then your window does, gracelessly enough. You forgo such a scene and venture over into one of your books anticipating another life a long way from here †rather to the City of Invention you are exceptional about. If at any time you yourself were to compose a novel, short story, sonnet, content or anything of the sort †it would be one of such force and benefit. The enemy would be a fiendish character, to some degree misjudged in a bigger number of ways than one Then perhaps your mythical serpents could have spot for distinction †a Rocky Horror appear without the horror†¦Ã¢â‚¬ ¦. pause, perhaps with the ghastliness also. The fiendish character’s name would be Thomothius, Thom for short. He would endeavor to get away from the barbarian town he had to possess. A lady, consistently respected by Thom would leave him speechless and bait him underground. There she would bore question upon answer into Thom’s poor glass mind until Thom were to surface again as an outlandish Steven King character. Starting here in time, townspeople notice this unusual occurring and dread for their lives. (Savages dreading their lives, who could envision? ) The King and Queen Dragonheart would incorporate their capacity upon the bogus ideas of their kin and hang poor Thom for the locals to see like the mildew covered and grass swarmed socks pegged to the garments line toward the edge of your window. This obviously will make harmony and prosperous peacefulness to meander around the different blood-recolored lanes, never truly understanding what malevolence was available. Not so much gainful when reconsidered about. Here you drop out of this novel and go into the quiet pages you hold. Your quiet tear will keep on rising like buildup, over all ethics and conviction that trust in your pride. From this, what is should have been comprehended? It is that you won't discover your Mr Darcy stuck between the space between your window and your room. It is that you won't have a cheerful closure except if you face your evil spirits, or for this situation mythical beasts. However you stay quiet in your room, considering how this Thom could be the main individual you can truly interface with.

Acting, Writing, and Roleplaying A Match Made in Heaven

Acting, Writing, and Roleplaying A Match Made in Heaven [by Susan Shepherd 11] Here at MIT, you can find students pursuing hobbies of all kinds acting in the Musical Theater Guild, for example, or painting a mural on the wall of their room, or writing short stories for Rune, MITs student-written and published literary magazine. Given a chance, students often will combine two or more of these hobbies in order to create something fun and new. For example, painting skills and knowledge of electronics came together several years ago to create a Mario Brothers mural that plays the games theme song when you touch it. Some years ago, there was a group of MIT students who enjoyed acting, writing, and directing. They also enjoyed role-playing games. The end result of their efforts was MITs live-action role-playing club, better known around here as the Assassins Guild. Players generally call it the Guild for short. Since its inception, Guild members have infiltrated the KGB, made first contact with aliens, signed peace treaties and saved the world a dozen times over. How did they manage this? Through role-playing. The players are essentially actors, doing their best to act out the roles of their characters as effectively as possible in a strange and sometimes hostile environment. Once a player has assumed their characters role, he or she stays in that role, and both acts and reacts the way the character would. For example, let us say that your character is a middle-aged politician who is in New York City on a campaign tour when Godzilla attacks. As a player, your first instincts are probably to a) run, b) find a safe place to hide and c) get out of New York altogether. But your character has different goals you need to a) help get others to safety, b) stay in New York so that you can update Congress on the situation, c) find safe places from which you can access the Internet in order to send email and pictures to Congress, and maybe even d) look awesome and brave during this whole process, in order to show your constituents how calm you are under pressure. These kinds of situations are what makes the Guild so famous for its improvisational acting. When you add the other characters into the mix, suddenly your goals are not nearly so easy to achieve. There are the rescue workers, who may want to move you to safety against your will you have to either talk to the one in charge, or just avoid them. There may be civilians in the area, some of whom have goals contradicting your own, such as a diamond salesman who wants to cross emergency lines to reach his wrecked store and save a prize emerald. Will you accept his bribe? Or will you go into danger to save it for him? The cameras are rolling, and elections are just around the corner After Guild members have played a game or six, and have become more familiar with what can be done in the games, many of them choose to write a game of their own. To this end, the Guild hosts a short summer writing camp to train new game writers. The first week, they work six or more hours a day, learning how to fit everything together or actually writing their first game. The second week, they test-run all the games to work out the kinks. At the very end, they edit their games as needed, and then the games are ready for people to play. Id like to end by congratulating those of my readers who were accepted or waitlisted, and hope that when you come to visit MIT youll check to see whether the Guild is running a game that week. The Guild provides a wonderful, low-pressure way for actors to improve their skills at characterization and improv. If you like to make costumes, the Guild is also a great place to show off your latest masterpiece. (Although I do not currently have a picture of it, my favorite costume thus far is the dragon costume worn by Kendra 08. It was handmade by Jesse 11 in his spare time using ringmail and steel scales.) And if you like writing the way I do, you might consider writing a game of your own. A group of Guild members hangs out during a break in a ten-day-long game. Although this is a designated safe area, some of the players are still ready for anything, as evidenced by the toy disc shooter located within arms reach.

Module 3 Questions Essay - 1299 Words

1. Are drug companies that test experimental drugs in foreign countries acting ethically? Drug companies that test experimental drugs in foreign countries are not acting ethically. Testing of experimental drugs should be done in the country where the drugs are being manufactured. The major ethical dilemma is that the foreign countries that these clinical trials are not fully educated on the risks and understand what they are getting themselves into. In the article, many things stood out that these countries may not know what they are signing up for. Doing these clinical trials in foreign countries, drug companies are â€Å"exploiting the healthy who are strapped for cash and the sick who seek cheap or free remedies.† (Netto, Health-Asia:†¦show more content†¦No, I do not believe that American industry is at too much risk of lawsuits to remain competitive. Lawsuits are going to be present everywhere regardless what the circumstances are. American industry must accept the fact that what they are doing can cause some harm to people of the society and law suits are what is going to be the outcome. I do not think that these drug companies should have immunity from lawsuits. In the article â€Å"Supreme Courts Hears Case on Vaccine Lawsuits,† it details how some side effects that vaccines have caused complications after the vaccine was given. It states that these cases could â€Å"open the floodgates to thousands of lawsuits.† It is the drug companies’ responsibility to create drugs that are not harmful to the society that they are given and there should be legal implications if they do not. The utilitarian theory shows us that these vaccines help to prevent disease, which would maximize happiness in the effect society. When something goes wrong and there is a dangerous side effect, the drug company should be liable for that. Like the utilitarian states, all consequences should be considered before acting on a decision. The drug companies have a responsibility to consider all options and side effects before deciding to administer any type of drug.

Maya Angelou and Langston Hughes, pillars of society

Neither Langston Hughes nor Maya Angelou were just poets in the world of the twentieth century but instead heroes and leaders who showed the world that race wasn t what made you but whom you are instead. Though both grew up during times and events in the world, both have similar ideas while also different. Though both poets were put down by society, neither let what people said get to them. Both instead wrote poems about how what people say doesn t matter. Maya told those people that despite what you say, I will still rise. You may write me down in history With your bitter, twisted lies, You may trod me in the very dirt But still, like dust, I ll rise. You may shoot me with your words, You may cut me with your eyes, You may kill†¦show more content†¦Despite his own very liberal beliefs, Hughes defended African American activists who held more conservative views. Langston Hughes was not just a poet but an artist, who used words to express himself, but other forms of art influenced him, and his work crossed over into other mediums. Langston Hughes influenced many other people with his art -- young writers and artists looked up to him. African Americans found in him a voice for their own experiences and culture -- a voice that hadn t been heard until Langston Hughes. He inspired many other artists of all races to write, draw, play, and sing. Unlike Langston Hughes, Maya Angelou devoted her life to inspiring African Americans to do whatever they wanted to do no matter what other people said. She also wanted to inspire people. Her poems Phenomenal Woman and Still I Rise inspired not only the African American people, which is was intended to, but the whole world including men. Like Hughes, Maya Angelou did not think that one day she would be reading one of her poems at President Clinton s inauguration. But she did think that she would inspire young African American writers that they too could become wonderful writers in a white society. Angelou is hailed as one of the great voices of contemporary black literature and as a remarkable Renaissance woman. Both of these people have inspired many people in the world including me. Langston Hughes

Nursing Profession Free Essays

The Registered Nurse: Roles and Responsibilities from Past to Present The nursing profession forms a complex set of responsibilities that leans toward health care and well being. The Royal College of Nursing established six principles that elucidate the concept of the nursing profession. These six principles include the purpose, line of work, coverage, focus, value enhancement, and partnership programs Supporting health and preventing the occurrence of certain medical conditions and illnesses are the primary goals of nursing. We will write a custom essay sample on Nursing Profession or any similar topic only for you Order Now The second principle is that the nursing profession serves as a mode of intervention, which determines the totality of an individual’s health care needs and looks through the attainment of these necessities. The domain that the nursing profession covers is limited to the health care needs of individuals, including physiological, psychological, mental, and social requirements. The fourth principle discusses the focus of the profession that lies on the entire being of a person with regards to health care treatment. Moreover, the foundations of the nursing practice are based on morally and ethically inclined responsibilities to human life. The sixth and the last principles of the nursing profession is the establishment of partnership of nurses with patients and their families, and other health care professionals in order to accomplish all the goals of nursing. Registered nurses are deemed to build the foundation of health care facilities. They carry out several roles and responsibilities such as involvements in patient care and instruction, health care assessments, and patient plans regarding discharge. Other known responsibilities of registered nurses include in depth knowledge about drugs and medicines for purposeful patient administration, as well as equipments and services in health care facilities, and the expression of care and compassion for those who are in dire need of health care attention. Over time, the roles and responsibilities of registered nurses have changed with the advent of technological advancements and the shifts to community health nursing. Technology offers nurses the opportunity for professional encroachment, as they are required to learn about new assistive technologies that are designed to assist in health care administration. Moreover, the shift of nursing practices to focus more on community health nursing emphasizes on the roles of nurses as an educator of health care practices and principles to the community. The nursing profession has also become specialized as nurses acquire specific roles within the health care facility. Becoming a Nurse There are several specializations available for nurses, such as available jobs in hospitals, clinics, residential homes, private home practice, etc. The route to becoming a nurse is dependent on an individual’s decisions regarding the type of nurse one wants to become. Nursing requires intensive education, because of the complexity of nursing roles and responsibilities. Therefore, individuals must be willing to get involved with the demanding nature of nursing education. Moreover, individuals must be mentally and psychologically prepared to take on various challenging positions that nursing education might require. The Educational Aspect of Becoming a Nurse The educational aspect of nursing varies because of the differences and limitations with regards to the different nursing roles and specialization. Individuals may opt to start in school with an ADN (Associate Degree in Nursing), Hospital Diploma, or a BSN (Bachelor of Science in Nursing). An Associate Degree only requires two years of schooling. The obtainment of a diploma requires three years, and the Bachelor of Science Degree requires four years. Nursing schools require the completion of several courses, mostly related to sciences, and the attainment of standards regarding grade point averages. To become a registered nurse, passing the NCLEX is important. (â€Å"Become a Registered Nurse†) What do they Do? Individuals with hospital or nursing diplomas are more hands on with their work, although limited in in depth knowledge and skills of the nursing profession. An Associate Degree in Nursing, like the Hospital Diploma, is limited to the acquisition of technical skills only. For wider skills in management and administration, continuing to earn a Bachelor of Science Degree in education is advisable. Types of Nurses, and Where They Work There are several types of registered nurses, the associate nurse, the nurse who has completed a Bachelor of Science Degree, and the Nursing Practitioner. The Associate Nurse earned two years of education concentrating on one year of science related courses and another year for nursing practice. Associate Nurses have the opportunity to work in Extensive Care (outpatient, etc.), hospitals (specializing in medical surgery assistance), and private care (in a doctor’s office). Associate nurses are able to develop their professions through further education and gaining experience in extensive care and hospitals, in becoming medical doctors, registered nurses, and a certified nursing assistant. For those who are in private care, alternatives include being medical doctors or registered nurses. Individuals who have gained a Bachelor’s degree in nursing may work in Extensive Care or hospitals. Job specifications are significantly concentrated on the managerial level in Extensive Care and more crucial jobs in hospitals, such as monitoring all aspects of health care and the administration of patient treatments, planning health care plans in intensive care, getting involved in community based health care, etc. For individuals who have completed a Bachelor’s degree in nursing, the role of nursing practitioner is open to them through the obtainment of a Masters Degree. Nursing practitioners, as they are able to work in hospitals and work in private care, are more like doctors, such that they are able to prescribe drugs and medications to their patients. By earning a master’s degree, they gain in depth knowledge about diagnostics and evaluation of health conditions. Moreover, nursing practitioners are able to administer patient referrals. Earning a master’s degree is important as it enhances their skills in preparation of being a nursing practitioner by undergoing research, social work, health care management, and health care education. These roles form the comprehensive roles and responsibilities of the nursing practitioner. References â€Å"Become a Registered Nurse.† (2008). Retrieved May 10, 2008, from All Star Directories, Inc.

The sixth and the last principles of the nursing profession is the establishment of partnership of nurses with patients and their families, and other health care professionals in order to accomplish all the goals of nursing. Registered nurses are deemed to build the foundation of health care facilities. They carry out several roles and responsibilities such as involvements in patient care and instruction, health care assessments, and patient plans regarding discharge. Other known responsibilities of registered nurses include in depth knowledge about drugs and medicines for purposeful patient administration, as well as equipments and services in health care facilities, and the expression of care and compassion for those who are in dire need of health care attention. Over time, the roles and responsibilities of registered nurses have changed with the advent of technological advancements and the shifts to community health nursing. Technology offers nurses the opportunity for professional encroachment, as they are required to learn about new assistive technologies that are designed to assist in health care administration. Moreover, the shift of nursing practices to focus more on community health nursing emphasizes on the roles of nurses as an educator of health care practices and principles to the community. The nursing profession has also become specialized as nurses acquire specific roles within the health care facility. Becoming a Nurse There are several specializations available for nurses, such as available jobs in hospitals, clinics, residential homes, private home practice, etc. The route to becoming a nurse is dependent on an individual’s decisions regarding the type of nurse one wants to become. Nursing requires intensive education, because of the complexity of nursing roles and responsibilities. Therefore, individuals must be willing to get involved with the demanding nature of nursing education. Moreover, individuals must be mentally and psychologically prepared to take on various challenging positions that nursing education might require. The Educational Aspect of Becoming a Nurse The educational aspect of nursing varies because of the differences and limitations with regards to the different nursing roles and specialization. Individuals may opt to start in school with an ADN (Associate Degree in Nursing), Hospital Diploma, or a BSN (Bachelor of Science in Nursing). An Associate Degree only requires two years of schooling. The obtainment of a diploma requires three years, and the Bachelor of Science Degree requires four years. Nursing schools require the completion of several courses, mostly related to sciences, and the attainment of standards regarding grade point averages. To become a registered nurse, passing the NCLEX is important. (â€Å"Become a Registered Nurse†) What do they Do? Individuals with hospital or nursing diplomas are more hands on with their work, although limited in in depth knowledge and skills of the nursing profession. An Associate Degree in Nursing, like the Hospital Diploma, is limited to the acquisition of technical skills only. For wider skills in management and administration, continuing to earn a Bachelor of Science Degree in education is advisable. Types of Nurses, and Where They Work There are several types of registered nurses, the associate nurse, the nurse who has completed a Bachelor of Science Degree, and the Nursing Practitioner. The Associate Nurse earned two years of education concentrating on one year of science related courses and another year for nursing practice. Associate Nurses have the opportunity to work in Extensive Care (outpatient, etc.), hospitals (specializing in medical surgery assistance), and private care (in a doctor’s office). Associate nurses are able to develop their professions through further education and gaining experience in extensive care and hospitals, in becoming medical doctors, registered nurses, and a certified nursing assistant. For those who are in private care, alternatives include being medical doctors or registered nurses. Individuals who have gained a Bachelor’s degree in nursing may work in Extensive Care or hospitals. Job specifications are significantly concentrated on the managerial level in Extensive Care and more crucial jobs in hospitals, such as monitoring all aspects of health care and the administration of patient treatments, planning health care plans in intensive care, getting involved in community based health care, etc. For individuals who have completed a Bachelor’s degree in nursing, the role of nursing practitioner is open to them through the obtainment of a Masters Degree. Nursing practitioners, as they are able to work in hospitals and work in private care, are more like doctors, such that they are able to prescribe drugs and medications to their patients. By earning a master’s degree, they gain in depth knowledge about diagnostics and evaluation of health conditions. Moreover, nursing practitioners are able to administer patient referrals. Earning a master’s degree is important as it enhances their skills in preparation of being a nursing practitioner by undergoing research, social work, health care management, and health care education. These roles form the comprehensive roles and responsibilities of the nursing practitioner. References â€Å"Become a Registered Nurse.† (2008).

Social Media For Employment Determination †MyAssignmenthelp.com

Question: Discuss about the Social Media For Employment Determination. Answer: Author note Asking the permission of the employee to check the social media site has good consequences than not asking the permission. In this case taking permission is considered with consent as morally correct, as the job role of the employee is directly related with the social media presence skills. It will help establish transparent communication with client. In this case the job performance is directly related to the information to be obtained from the employees social media site. Based on the utilitarian ethical theory, there are good consequences when employer approach in morally correct manner in social-media based decision making. Although with the permission of the employee, weighing the advantages and the disadvantages of accessing the employees personal information on social media to make the job decisions, I would consider acting in a non-discriminatory manner. It is because the worst consequences will prevail over the good in case of acting in discriminatory manner and not taking t he consent. The bad consequences may be in the form of the legal liability. Acting in non-discriminatory manner would be morally correct as the information would only be used for legitimate business reasons as per the Kantans ethical analysis. In this scenario, taking consent would preserve the employees dignity and respect (Holland Jeske, 2017). It would be morally and ethically wrong to use the personal information of the employee given on social media for employment determination. Not notifying the candidates in this case can be considered treating the employee without dignity and respect. It will violate the corporate social responsibility, which, is the part of organisational behaviour. NSW and ACT surveillance laws in Australia inform abut notifying the employees. I could consider notifying the candidates than not notifying as it will allow the candidates to rectify any incorrect or inaccurate information as well as explain the situation (Prichard et al., 2015). On the other hand, employees may have information on social media that made me truly public. If a company has no social media screening policy then it may be technically correct to not notify the candidates. In such situation it may be fair and moral to make employment determinant based on the social media as it may not constitute the invasion of privacy. Howeve r, it is difficult to assume that the social media profile of the employee has public access. According to the Personal Information Protection Act and guidelines of BC employees may complaint and take legal actions on suspicion that the employer has used personal information on social media as background check. Moreover, any information posted by the employee on the social media is subjected to BCs personal information protection laws. There are limitations of collecting information without consent. It is the accuracy of the online information being questionable. There is less possibility of collecting the relevant and updated information. There is also high likelihood of uncovering the material that the employee may not wish to divulge (Thomas et al., 2015). The desired information can be taken by the employer in any alternative format if there is no option to look at the social media site of the employee. It is only in a matter of time that the social media screening in employment has begun. Not all the companies has the social media screening policy, so LinkedIn can be used for hiring and not background check. It is the universally accepted site to check the candidates CV and scrutinise their qualifications. It is the professional networking site and eliminates the chance of inaccurate/unreliable information gained by the social media platforms like Facebook, and Twitter (Buettner, 2016). It will prevent breach of privacy rights and legal actions. Alternate option would be simply recruiting through companys websites, job boards, job search engines, Newspapers, walk in applications and referrals. It will eliminate the ethical and practical dilemmas of social media recruiting. These methods are age old practices and constitute effective as part of strategic HRM management theories and outcome depends on effective human resource policies (Ekwoaba et al., 2015).
