Do think it is important for clinical nurses to obtain certification in their specialty areas? If so, why? If not, why not? Yes, I actually do, for many of the same reasons as above, but actually more. The half-life of information and resulting changes in technology, procedures, appropriateness of care, and pharmacology are such that changes in specialties are so regular it is necessary to receive the highest and most specific level of training possible. Starting with a base curriculum and graduation is not the middle or the end, but only the beginning -- once the basics are mastered; it is time to continue to improve.
Do you believe the nurse leader/manager position is an advanced practice role? If so, why? If not, why not? The very nature of the changes in both expectations and professionalization for nurses in contemporary healthcare almost insist that nurse managers are an advanced practice role. Not only are the intellectual and courseload requirements far more substantial than ever, the expectations in cross-discipline fields are expected and enormous (e.g. business, psychology, human resource management, logistics, distribution,...
Continued professionalization of the nursing industry cannot help but raise the bar for all practicing nurses, thus improving the internal vision as well as external perception.
Do you think it's important for a nurse leader/manager to get more education to fill these roles? If so, why and what kind? If not, why not? Despite the fact that it is extremely difficult to manage career, home, and life -- let alone add other variations to the mix, I do think it is vital that all healthcare professionals, like educators, CPAs, and other professionals, take yearly continuing education courses. If one does not continue to learn, one remains stagnant; if one does not have the time (and most of us do not), to pour over journal articles monthly, then it is important to remain current within one's field, as well as to understand the advances and expectations that intersect with healthcare. This continuing education may take many forms; technological seminars, short classes on specific techniques, or even coursework that is multi-disciplinary. The important aspect, though, is that the nurses continue to learn and grow.
95-133. In this selection, Chong examines the foreign policy used by Singapore during the 1990s to establish its credentials as a full participant in the international conversation. I will use the examples explored in this article to support the thesis that soft power is a realistic and viable choice of policy. Fukuyama, Francis, "The End of History?" National Interest 16 Summer 1989, pp. 3-18. Fukuyama's assertion that the fall of the Soviet
The choice cannot be repudiated or duplicated, but one makes the choice without foreknowledge, almost as if blindly. After making the selection, the traveler in Frost's poem says, "Yet knowing how way leads on to way/I doubted if I should ever come back" (14-15). And at the end, as one continues to encounter different forks along the way, the endless paths have slim chance of ever giving the traveler
The involvement of these women typifies the West Virginia attitude of resistance and resentment of its occupation by Union loyalists during the Civil War. Supporting Arguments I West Virginia's History of Resistance in the Civil War A.

Globalization, Genetic Modification of Crops and Agricultural Hysteria on the Left One of the most telling images in the modern media of recent date, regarding the issue of genetically modified foodstuffs was the sight of silos of genetically modified seed being sent back from an African nation experiencing a profound crisis of famine. Despite the fact that such seeds would have helped the immediate problem, fears were too great that the
"(Wharton, Chapter 1) Undine, unlike Ralph, cannot decompose or fade in intensity for her vision is as clear and black and white. Until she marries Ralph Marvell, Undine is always judging others by social status, sizing up clothing, furniture, and appearance as coolly as the aristocrats of the American, but with a different, superficial, monetary standard of worth rather than a cultural standard of worth. Her values are just as
Hence, his plan here was not even based upon the assumption of ethnic plurality, but simply upon his own hunger for territorial power. Franjo Tudjman, equally power hungry, was the elected president of Croatia in 1990. His focus was not ethnic plurality. Rather, his aim was to establish a Croatian state for Croatians, without providing any minority rights to other citizens. For this reason, his focus on Bosnia was also
