Attendance Policy
Under no circumstances can any portion of this course be missed. An absence at any of the training sessions will result in termination from the course and possible termination from current labor and delivery rounds until the course is retaken. Tardiness is also not permitted. Anyone who is more than ten minutes late for a session will be considered absent from that session. This course is fast-paced and covers vital hospital policies that all labor and delivery staff are required to know.
Course Assignments and Evaluation and Grading
Written exams will be given at the beginning of class and cover the previous week's coursework. These exams must be passed with at least 70% or you will be dropped from the program. You will have one attempt to make up a poor test score. Exams are open book and open note. Action evaluations for the previous week's simulation sessions must be submitted at the beginning of the session and should be at least 2 pages, typed, and double spaced. The final exam will be a summative simulation session where nurses are expected to apply the course principles. Those with a score of 70% and better are considered to have passed the course.

The goal is to help the nurses understand what the patient expects and how they can ensure that the expectation is met and encourage the students to begin diving into their reading to understand how they can actively assist the patient's better. Numerous studies have revealed the effectiveness of group brainstorming in focused settings. While brainstorming overall can be less efficient than other methods, when utilized for a specific purpose
So, in those regards the curriculum is slowly catching up with the times. Personally, I would like to see additions such as a playing of the movie, "The Business of Being Born" at one of the sessions or as homework. The second way that the curriculum should change within the next three years is to begin allowing more nurses to become certified teachers. Currently, it is easier for a parent
76). As automation increasingly assumes the more mundane and routine aspects of work of all types, Drucker was visionary in his assessment of how decisions would be made in the years to come. "In the future," said Drucker, "it was possible that all employment would be managerial in nature, and we would then have progressed from a society of labor to a society of management" (Witzel, p. 76).

) The State of Education in Third World Countries Third World countries, by definition, include the poorest and the most underdeveloped. Most of them, therefore, are severely lacking in most development indicators including education and literacy levels. So even though, it is now universally recognized that education is the most cost-effective factor in improving the quality of life, both at the individual and at the collective level, millions of people in poor,
Aborigines are Australia's original inhabitants and until the late 1700's -1800's the aborigine had little contact with Western civilization. Local dialects and the territorial nature of bands provided the different social groups their distinctive identity. The Mardudjara (Mardu) aborigines are part of the Western Desert cultural block in Australia (Tonkinson, 1978). The Mardu culture, societal system, etc. has never been recorded in its pristine state as anthropologic researchers did not
