Nursing Education and Positive Patient Outcomes Nursing education can be described as formal training in nursing as a discipline. The discipline also includes the functions revolving around both the care of patients and a set of practices that serve to accelerate the patient’s healing and overall wellbeing. Positive patient outcomes and nursing education are inseparable variables since, like any other profession, the more knowledge an individual possesses in their line of specialty, the higher their level of mastery (Ervin, 2006). Research findings from a study conducted by Lancet indicate that patients who have post-surgery complications are more likely to survive when taken care of by experienced nursing practitioners (Aiken et al., 2008). Also, according to the statistics, baccalaureate nursing practitioners are associated with a significantly lower risk of death with an accuracy of approximately sixty percent. I agree with the research findings generated from the above Lancet study because the level of knowledge in any particular field increases with the level of education. Nurses who have advanced in their studies have not only the experience but also the knowledge about…
The impact of unique education inclusion has on students with and without disabilities Inclusive education Inclusion is referred to as the placement of children with disability conditions into regular classrooms(Folin et al., 2013) Inclusive education has differed from the traditionally held notions, which focused on disability and special needs only. (Folin et al., 2013) Says that inclusion provides means by which schools can respond to all pupils in their capacity, through the provision of adequate resources, the role of schools to admit all pupils from the local community is expanded reducing the probability of excluding pupils.

Unesco Has described inclusive education as a program for all pupils with or without difficulties to learn together in ordinary schools with appropriate network. Research done in New Zealand,…
A Case Study on Art and Photography How do Leo Tolstoy and Roland Barthes’ theories help us to view a photograph of a traumatic event as an art? We can use his book ‘What is Art’ to explain how Tolstoy brought out art by the use of a traumatic event. From my understanding of the book ‘What is Art,’ I like to state that Tolstoy explained how art is formed and how an individual’s expression of his or her feelings or emotions causes another individual to express their feelings. Tolstoy also adds that emotions by the other person will only be shown if they contain individuality, sincerity, and or clarity. From the Vietnam Memorial, we can see how Tolstoy brought out art by infecting the individual who visits the memorial park. We get to see how visiting the monument park becomes a ‘cathartic’ experience and how the art portrayed is infectious to the visitor. Art evokes feelings of sadness and anger as we see how the little girl looks at the memorial touches the black stone monument. Maya Lin received…

However, I was astonished that I am reasonably active in the visual learning process because I am attracted to color and pictures. What strategies from the bulleted list of your primary learning style/modality are ones that you currently use or…
How I Have Grown as a Reader, Writer, and Critical Thinker Introduction While growing up, I used to hate reading, I wasn’t a big fun, and my parents used to force me into reading. My parents promised me something if I read to them. As I entered my teenage, I began to read more. In high school, I started reading more books and writing a lot. But the writings neither follow any structured format nor did the subjects critically choose. As I joined the campus, my journey as a reader, writer, and critical thinker escalated, particularly over this semester. I believe throughout the semester, my growth as a reader, critical thinker, and writer has grown tremendously. Immense growth is evident through the construction of my essays, critical thinking, improvement in the habits of minds such as managing impulsivity, and thinking flexibility. Moreover, my growth as a reader, critical thinker and writer has been immense throughout the semester, as shown in growth in processes such as writing and improving essays, utilization of rhetoric devices, and improvement in the knowledge of conventions…
I understand Latin Question (a) People are incorrigible or uncorrectable about the proposition ‘I understand Latin. Thinking is an important concept of the principle of incorrigibility. Our mental consciousness influences our desires, our thinking, hopes, fears, and beliefs. To say I understand Latin shows the function of the mind, thinking about the knowledge one has about Latin. Before believing in certain statements, our mental strength is consulted first. In this case, understanding is a function of the mind, and this shows how important in determining what we believe in. This proposition meets incorrigibility requirements, which are sincerity and truth. A statement should be sincerely made for it to true, and if a statement is true should be believed. The proposition I understand Latin shows conscious thinking, which helps to build its truth. Descartes said, ‘I think’ and ‘I am,’ and to explain this, if I think of my understanding of Latin, I will have the knowledge, and this explains why it will be difficult to change people’s belief on this statement. ( Field, 1993). Question (b) People may be correctable…
Drug and Substance Abuse in High School Drug and substance abuse is the most trending issue among many students in the modern world. The leading cause of worry is that a high percentage of youth in high schools are involved in drugs and substance abuse. Despite teenagers entering high school as children, they graduate as young adults.

World Englishes and Globalization Introduction In the world today, globalization has had and will continue to affect many aspects of society, inclusive of languages. Globalization refers to the interconnections of the global economic, political, and cultural environment, which perpetually transform current conditions (Coupland). One of the significant causes of globalization is the rampant spread of languages, mainly English. It is well known that English language is widespread and has gained prominence across the globe. It is estimated among the Language speakers, only a fourth of them are native speakers while the rest have acquired it as second language (are non-native English language speakers). It’s a clarion evident that there are more non-native English speakers as compared to those who use it as their first language (Kirkpatrick). This paper focuses on upward social mobility associated with the globalization of English to countries or regions that uses it as their first language and non-native speakers. The context will be based on the study that was carried out in West Africa Senegal and In the United States Midwest. The participants involved in this study…
survey project Phones are an essential part of modern life not only for children, teens, and young adults but also for adults and seniors. Baby boomers to xennials tend to mock the generations that come after about their constant need to text, tweet, gram, or snap-in order to keep in constant communication with friends and family. Little do they realize that without social media, they would also be cut off from the world, their friends and families at this point in the advancements of technology. Without cell phones being in one’s reach at any point in time, breaking news would not come as quickly as it does today. Also, in case of emergency, it would be harder to get in contact with any emergency services or family members if need be. Baby boomers love to downplay the importance of mobile phones and immediate access to the internet, mostly because their knowledge of such devices is little. The concept is foreign, and the need back in their day was nonexistent. Their need to belittle technology comes as unnecessary. However, their…
