FAILURE IS THE WAY FORWARD I am sure I would be telling the truth, saying how lucky I was graduating from the college year 2007 during the start of the great recession, attempting to enter the worst job market in eighty years. It was around this time I discovered that my subtenant had not paid her rent for three months, and after confrontation, she broke down and left. It eft my roommate and I to take care of all other expenses which hit hard on my savings. Unfortunately, this led to me sleeping on a friend’s couch for half a year, doing small jobs having close to none debts while looking for a “real job”.. Lucky was I for entering the adult world as a failure made me start from scratch. This is practically everyone’s fear as one has to start a new business-changing career or to quit terrible jobs, which I got to experience. Things could only get while getting to sleep on the worst of mattresses counting coins, wondering whether I could afford a meal waiting for answers…
Electronic health records, nursing change, interventions and difficulties The use of electronic health records has been transformational in the delivery of care and enhanced patient outcomes. The connection between data gathered from health records and how I care for patients is that the data from EHR eases the delivery of care through easy management, reduced errors, and improved coordination. As a nursing provider, my work is made easier through the availability of patients’ medical history and the streamlining of healthcare delivery. (McKeeby & Coffey, 2018). Electronic health records have been adopted in most healthcare facilities to enhance the quality of patient care. Notably, the EHR was used at the clinical site to coordinate care for a cardiac disorder patient. The use of HER enhanced patient participation and also reduces medical errors. However, the use of electronic health records is accompanied by several downsides. First of all, there may be cases of data privacy as the patients’ medical information is accessible. Besides, the patient data may get distorted, which may affect the delivery of care and risk patients’ outcomes. Nurses are…

Pros of rural lifestyle Today, the majority of the world’s population lives in towns and cities, which is only expected to increase to a daunting figure, as research suggests. People live in both urban and rural areas, but which one is a more preferable choice. Living in rural areas is undoubtedly a blessing as it has countless benefits concerning the human body. However, some people argue that life in urban areas is a necessity in today’s world as it provides a number of options for job purposes. Nonetheless, a rural lifestyle is a recommended option as it allows one to lead a healthy and active life and is provides a pollution-free environment. The countryside areas are full of fresh air, forests, and streams. These elements of nature are not only a beautiful sight for the human eye, but it also allows a person to live a healthy life. Moreover, villagers eat food, which is astonishingly beneficial to human health and helps them to work actively and productively as freshly harvested fruits and vegetables are readily available to them. Villages are…
Is “the local” powerful enough to shape multinational corporate control over production and consumption? The local market is part of the structure that build the multinational corporate. Hence most of the multinational corporations always make sure their decision base on the impact of the locals. The big companies also have the resources to make in-depth branding on market analysis depending on products they produce, but without focusing on the local market, they end up in major loses. The economy is usually controlled by the locals since they are people who consume a more significant percentage of products being produced (Gertler, 2017). If the multinational corporations want to maximize their profits, then there is a need for them to capitalize on the knowledge about the local market. I believe that for companies to grow there is a need for the locals to have the ability to purchase the products. However, in instances where we have high unemployment among the locals, there is always a direct impact on the consumption of the products. It gives a clear picture of how the…
Graphing and Describing Data in everyday Life Irrespective of the nature and types of items being organized and represented, a list can be quickly interpreted and referenced when classified using a cumulative frequency distribution table. A cumulative frequency distribution table is a data organization and representation technique that uses a table to relatively associate an item or a variable with the number of times it appears and its weight in the list (Fisher and Marshall, 2019). It is preferred to a relative frequency table because of its additional descriptive statistics such as cumulative frequency and midpoints. A cumulative frequency distribution table is the most appropriate technique for organizing and representing a list of all injuries in a clinic in one month as well as patients’ waiting time. In both datasets, the time would be given as grouped data. For the dataset on injuries, the time would be provided in days, while for a dataset on patients’ waiting period, it would be given in minutes. Each row would associate a particular class with its midpoint, the associated frequency, relative frequency, and…
Is the good life found in pursuing happiness? Happiness can be defined as a feeling of positive goodness. The cause of happiness is indefinable as the causes of happiness for different individuals vary a lot (Veenhoven, 5. Generally, it is borne of emotion. A lot of research has been conducted to come up with an understanding of what real happiness is and whether good life is found by pursuing happiness. Happiness is essential to people, and although its definition is subjective, it has been found that happiness gives life a better meaning. Different sources and articles can reveal the perceptions of different people on happiness, and why happiness is of essence to different people. An excellent example of this is the speech by Frank Stephens at the United Nations. Stephens noted that he has down syndrome, but he still finds his life worth living. This is somewhat unexpected as many people associate ill health with a lack of happiness in life. Stephens’ speech helps give another perspective of what happiness is, and it also shows the divide that exists…
Power, Privilege, Discipline, Punishment, and Performance Themes of power, privilege, discipline, punishment, and performance are evident in the analysis of prison-industrial complex and probation practices from the poem “Probation.” The prison-industrial complex system involves shifting the management of prisons from the federal government to private corporations. Prisoners are denied privileges they should have within jails and work for private companies. Working for organizations is secondary punishment to such prisoners as there is no compensation, health benefits, or insurance. Instilling discipline in prisons has gone beyond the normal ways of exploitation. In this case, probation programs limit an individual’s power and privileges to their lives. Also, performance in social and voting processes among the prisoners is no longer available once they are imprisoned. Theories used in prisons to rectify behavior apply to my life situations, although some are extreme to the victims, they have shaped my beliefs, morals, and practices. Probation relies on the theory of close surveillance of an individual to promote the right conduct. During probation, an individual is directed to act morally and…
