Stephanie stated that she felt she could be better utilized by switching into nursing which was not an easy task at the time.

Stephanie stated that her profession was met with encouragement, her family was very excited to see hoe war she would go with nursing, and helped her in any way that they could during her education and training. At Stephanie's current job she is the last authority. The structure is pretty standard otherwise. You have the staff, department supervisors, etc. And yes, there are women in supervisory positions; it is equally proportioned with men in her facility she explained. Stephanie explained that she felt resistance the first couple of years on the job at this facility, due to her age and the fact that her predecessor was a male. She is no longer having any issues with resistance, everyone works well together, they know the change of command, and are not afraid to reach out to her if the situation calls for it.
Stephanie explained that she has been fortunate to not ever blatantly have to deal with sexual harassment. Though she has shared that when she was younger and in…

Classins, Stephanie. Telephone interview. September 2011.
But gradually, it became clear to her that the Viet Cong were not the only combatants perpetrating bloodshed and violence -- injustice was manifest on both sides. The sheer number of American casualties was overwhelming, and many of the cases deemed hopeless received no care at all, because of limited medical supplies. Doctors and nurses were so weary during the nonstop work of treatment and surgery they could hardly stand.

The Nursing Home Community: A Critical Ethnography A nursing home is a community of care ideally designed to provide seniors with a safe and supportive environment in which to receive around-the-clock evidence-based healthcare and ancillary services. Nursing homes are also complex environments, with the residents comprising one distinct social cohort and staff another, with evident hierarchies and roles within the organization. An ethnographic approach to the nursing home community lends insight
Jean Rhys "Good Night, Midnight" The explanation for the title of the book, exposed as a poem by Emily Dickinson, sets the tone for the work. It is assumed from the words that a woman is coming home after a night out with a suitor and she was, for some reason, rejected. Thus, since the "day" would not have her she is happy to say good morning to the midnight that
The film is about rather ordinary events taking place in an environment that experiences a forceful change. Adults practically contrast children through their thinking and the way that they behave, considering that in spite of the fact that they talk while the children are on a silent strike, they fail to put across thorough thought and only manage to fuel each-other's prejudiced nature. Isamu and Minoru are intriguing through
