Her husband helped her with a bit of the amount required for capital but the she was forced to take loans from a few of her relatives, which she did not want to do at the beginning, so as to get the business on its feet.
Being a sole proprietor is difficult for her as all the decisions rest on her shoulders. There are jobs she has had to turn down due to personal and family responsibilities which she would have considered if she had a partner. Another disadvantage which she finds in running a sole proprietorship is that her medical insurance premiums are not directly deductible from business income. It can only be partially deducted so as to make adjustments to the income.

Felicia believes that it is important to sell what they actually market. That is why she only agrees to take jobs that she will be able to….

Glenda finds interactions with others to be one of the most difficult parts of her position, although she mainly communicates with other medical professionals. While she does not use any special communication skills, she has taken medical terminology classes to help her understand medical jargon. Because she is in charge of supply monitoring, she has a duty in her job position to report suspicious drug usage and prescribing by the duty physicians. This is not an ethical or legal duty that subjects her to liability, but is still a job duty. Her employer has set up a reporting system for all unit coordinators who are in charge of supplies. Furthermore, the hospital has set up privacy procedures to ensure HIPPAA compliance. Glenda is not responsible for helping meet clinical or non-clinical guidelines for patient care.

Conclusion

As a long-term hospital employee in a specialized position, Glenda's experience as a unit coordinator may….

Another important component of the Unit's functions is to assist victims in creating Victim Impact Statements. "Victim input is solicited in the form of a written Victim Impact Statement, however witness input is verbal. The needs of the victims and witnesses are relayed to the appropriate persons" (Victim/Witness, 2013, Office of Monmouth County Prosecutor). This data may be used when deciding to prosecute a crime or in sentencing. One of the reasons that victim's rights agencies have become more common and established throughout the United States was the belief that the impact of the crime upon the life of the victim in terms of pain and suffering must be taken into consideration. Often, victims are still extremely traumatized and have difficulty articulating what happened to them. The personnel at the Unit are specially trained to deal with victim reticence and they are oriented in techniques to make talking about the….

Interview with substance abuse counselor: Mr. Smith
For my interview, I selected Mr. Smith (not his real name), a substance abuse counselor who approaches his practice from the point-of-view of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). CBT has become one of the most popular therapies for treating substance abuse. When I asked why, Mr. Smith replied: "because it works." Substance abuse has long been regarded as one of the most intractable problems in the mental health profession. Substance abuse has a biological cause; is often exacerbated by environmental factors such as growing up in a society where drug abuse is normalized and prevalent; and then fundamentally rewires the subject's reward center in the brain, so the pleasures of the drug outweigh all other pleasures. One of the few techniques to 'unwire' this negative perspective has been CBT. Mr. Smith believes very strongly in the CBT format: he has a M.A. In clinical psychology….

Some recent projects have included creating additions and garages and modernizing older houses so they are better able to withstand the elements and can support modern conveniences. Mr.….

Interview Supply Chain
Interview with a Supply Chain Manager

The line of business, mission, and goals of the organization he/she works for.

Describe these briefly.

The purchasing manager that I talked to worked for Aerojet Rocketdyne. It is an extremely high tech business that operates in a competitive industry.

The company's mission is as follows (Aerojet Rocketdyne, N.d.):

Aerojet Rocketdyne is a world-recognized aerospace and defense leader providing propulsion and energetics to the space, missile defense, strategic, tactical missile and armaments areas in support of domestic and international markets. GenCorp is a leading technology-based manufacturer of aerospace and defense products and systems with a real estate segment that includes activities related to the entitlement, sale, and leasing of the company's excess real estate assets. Since the company was founded in 1942, it has led the way in the development of crucial technology and products that have kept America strong and furthered human's exploration of space.

Although Charley says it has been difficult, he is proud of the work ethic his delivery experience has given him. "I'm also much more frugal than anyone else I know my age, because I think, whenever I spend money, how long it's going to take the restaurant to earn that money back."
Liu's father and mother were not in the restaurant business before they came to America. Liu's parents were both engineers, and met when they were going to the same university. However, they were not able to transfer their qualifications to the United States. Charley only vaguely remembers going to school in China, and says he has never gone back to his native country. However, someday he would like to return for a visit, and to see the family members he has only heard about, never met.

For his parents, the hardest transition to America was learning the language. Charley….

Interview of Educator
I interviewed a fourth grade teacher with five years of experience in education, all at the same school. This teacher has been evaluated formally on three separate occasions. On all occasions, the monitor was in the classroom. When asked about her feelings toward evaluation and the evaluation process used in her district, she responded positively. She said that she was happy that the district put effort into teacher evaluations, because they are important in ensuring all the standards are being met. Evaluations give valuable feedback to schools, and help them to improve their programs and policies, she said.

Evaluations are conducted over several core areas pertinent to pedagogical practice. These areas include planning, classroom management, delivery of instruction, monitoring, assessment, family outreach, community outreach, and professional responsibilities. In addition to these factors, the teacher is evaluated according to California teaching standards. These standards relate to all of the above….

Another common misconception is that gay people are more likely to be promiscuous than straight people. Being gay is not "all about sex and partying" it is fundamentally about love. Gay people are no more or less likely than straight people to be into 'partying' and every person should be evaluated on his or her own personal terms, not simply viewed in light of his or her sexuality. People may judge gay people based upon one or two false media images or one or two anecdotes, but they would not take the behavior of one heterosexual person to be representative of all straight people.

One positive aspect of being gay, Mike noted, is the extent to which it has made him more compassionate and tolerant of other people's differences. Mike grew up in a very homogeneous, non-diverse environment, but being gay taught him what it is like to be a member….

Interview with social worker: Ms. A
My interview was with Ms. A, a substance abuse counselor, who organized group meetings for people in recovery from drug and alcohol abuse. She described the work as challenging but rewarding. Very often people who are recovering from addictions have an ambivalent attitude towards the recovery process. While some are willing, others are compelled into the group because of legal reasons (such as a conviction for DWI) or because of family pressures. Ms. A must be mindful of these different attitudinal perspectives on the process of navigating recovery. It cannot be assumed that everyone 'wants to be there' and that everyone consciously wants to rid him or herself of addiction.

Group therapy can be valuable for individuals in substance abuse recovery because it enmeshes members in a supportive environment of people who understand what they are going through. It can be very difficult for non-users to….

Interview With an Advanced Practice Nurse/Nurse Practitioner and Mistakes
The objective of this study is to answer the following questions as an interview with an experienced Advanced Practice Nurse in regards to their transition from novice to expert practitioner:

(1) What was your experience like transitioning from novice APN (Advanced Practice Nurse) to expert practitioner?

The transition from novice to Advanced Practice Nurse (APN) is a critical time for the nurse and it is a time that is quite unnerving. The experience has moments of feeling powerful and powerless and is a challenging experience but an exciting time in the career progression of the nursing professional.

(2) What helped in your transition?

Having a mentor was of great assistance during the transition in that she acted as a sounding board and a fountain of wisdom.

(3) What did not help in your transition?

My own expectations of myself were the least helpful because I am a perfectionist….

There is no other source for many patients who come through the private system to receive follow-up care other than the public health system. Where there was once virtually very little coordination between private and public systems, today we see extensive coordination because it is necessary. The cuts in Medicaid, and the loss of group health benefits has necessitated a more coordinated effort.
Is there a health care delivery preparedness plan for a public health event, such as an infectious epidemic or bioterrorist attack?

Private hospitals have plans, and go over and test those plans on a periodic basis as is required by oversight. However, after Hurricane Katrina it is difficult to imagine how those plans would unfold. Those hospitals that were forced to abandon patients and staff were required by law to have those kinds of plans, and, in my opinion, they failed. So we have plans, but let's hope….

I will say a truism and emphasize that the world is obviously changing. As I….

Serial killers are a topic that has fascinated people, beginning before the term was even coined.  They have been romanticized in pop culture, but their crimes seem to be rooted in a personality disorder that keeps them from empathizing with others.  They kill in a variety of ways and, when left unchecked, the number of people that they can kill can get into the 100s. 

Some subtopics to consider when writing about serial killers for your essay topic are:

1. The role of Antisocial Personality Disorder (APD) in serial murders.
2. Psychopath or sociopath?  Where on the spectrum of personality....

Criminal investigation is a broad field of study that covers any and all of the elements that go into solving a crime and building a legal case against the suspects.  Considered one of the applied sciences, there are actually several career paths for the criminal investigator.  Likewise, people from different disciplines may find themselves doing criminal investigative work.  For example, as science has evolved, the role of geneticists and genetic genealogists in criminal investigation and forensic science has really explored.

In their research study, Wilhelmy et al. take a closer look at interview styles, with a specific emphasis on signaling behaviors. Their stated purpose is “to use a qualitative approach to create a taxonomy and a conceptual model by identifying and analyzing the broad range of possible interviewer IM [impression management] intentions, behaviors, and intended outcomes” (2016).  In the context of that purpose statement, the research did seem designed to help answer both how and why.  Furthermore, the researchers did frame out a conceptual model of interviewer IM that was comprehensive and included a range of intentional....
