Introduction Nursing has been evolving over time. As health care changes, so do the responsibilities of nurses. There are many areas of nursing in which nurses can get advanced degree. An Educator track is an integral part of nursing. Role of Nurse Educator Teaching is an integral part of nursing, so becoming a nurse educator is a natural step for many nurses. Whether it is a classroom or the practice setting, nurse educator prepares and mentors patient care providers and the future leaders of nursing profession. Nurse educator plays an important role in strengthening the nursing workforce, serving as role models, and providing leadership needed to implement evidence-based practice and improve patient outcomes (Bakers, 2010). Nursing educators also have opportunities to perform research, publish articles in nursing and other professional journals, serve as consultants to education and health care institutions, write grant proposals, and participate in community services (Cangelosi, Crocker, & Sorrel, 2009). Nurse educator can be part of the classroom or clinical settings, while assisting in mentoring and counseling students, preparing publications, developing lectures and teaching plans. Benefits of Becoming a Nurse Educator   * Work satisfaction   * Rewarding   * Research opportunities   * Flexible work environment   * Job security Nurse educators have a unique opportunity to watch their students gaining confidence and skills which can be very rewarding. Being able to have access to cutting–edge knowledge and research, having opportunities to collaborate with health professionals, being able to share research findings, and a flexible work environment are several benefits of being a nurse educator (Bartels, 2005). Given the growing shortage of nurse educators, the outlook is bright for nurses interested in career in academia. Nurse educators flourish in an environment that allows them to be independent, innovative, and visionary. Analyzing data, advocating for health policy reform, networking at national meetings, serving on committees, and sharing nursing knowledge with other colleagues are other responsibilities typical for nurse educators (Cangelosi, Crocker, & Sorrel, 2009). Different Roles of Nurse Educator   * Clinical teaching   * Classroom teaching   * Community   * Public health Nurse educators can serve in diverse roles that range from clinical faculty to becoming an associate dean. Some are devoted to classroom teaching or clinical teaching, while others mentor and counsel student, develop lectures or lesson plans, and prepare publications (Bartels, 2005). Nurse educators typically teach in nursing schools, but they can also work in hospitals, public health agencies, education associations, and other community settings. Nurse educator has the high level of job security and opportunities to advance quickly up the career ladder. What it takes to be Nurse Educator Nurse educator must have the solid clinical background, strong communication skills, and high level of cultural competence in order to succeed. Nurse educator must be a lifelong learner, be flexible eno
The stratification of society is actively discussed within the contemporary environment. In a way, it has always been an integral part of society, as at least some of a hierarchy has been embedded into it across centuries. The current paradigm of stratification has become the product of capitalist relations. In the United States, this paradigm traditionally comprises five major social classes, which are lower, lower-middle, middle, upper-middle, and upper. They represent the contemporary view on stratification, which has made sufficient progress in comparison to the obsolete forms. For example, the caste system, not to mention earlier feudal frameworks, divide people by the principle of innate rights. In other words, some people are privileged, and others are marginalized simply by being born into a specific family. The current system relies on the principle of social mobility, meaning that a combination of subjective and objective factors determines a person’s class and ensures the possibility of changing it. As far as I am concerned, my current position allows me to attribute myself to the upper-middle class. In fact, this category represents a subclass of the middle class. According to Griffiths et al. (2014), the contemporary understanding of the middle class is too broad, comprising an array of households with profoundly different living conditions. In general, one of its uniform characteristics is described by the notion of comfort. In other words, middle-class people possess the required number of instruments that ensure a comfortable way of living in most respects. Such households usually have one or several vehicles, as well as a spacious apartment. In addition, middle-class people can afford good vacations that do not limit basic activities. In the upper end of the middle class, these aspects are prevalent, allowing for a highly comfortable life. It usually implies an education of at least Bachelor level with a subsequent successful career. In the lower middle class, the presence of such benefits often implies the lack of savings. People can afford fairly expensive goods or services, but they amount to nearly all of their earnings. The upper end implies a different situation, in which families can realistically save money for major purchases, such as children’s education or new housing. The economy of the country dictates a certain range of professions usually held by the representatives of the upper-middle class. Griffiths et al. (2014) say that it includes law, medicine, business, and management degrees of the Bachelor or Postgraduate levels. Furthermore, it is implied that the careers within these fields are to be fairly successful. This is the case of family, as well, because my husband is a surgeon with a good reputation and profound experience in his field. Since graduating from medical school, he has been making serious efforts to excel at his primary area of expertise. This way, his standard of living has seen a steady increase across these years. Ultimately, we have been able to attain the level of income and comfort that corresponds to the upper-middle class level. For us, it has become the product of co
Just-in-Time (JIT) Procter & Gamble has been known to use the Just-in-Time (JIT) approach for quite a while. The above tool can be viewed as the primary means of exerting influence on the target stakeholders, including the customers and the suppliers, for the organization. The firm focuses on the development of an intricate delivery system that allows for maintaining high sustainability rates and, therefore, reduces waste. Seeing that the latter is the primary goal of JIT, it can be viewed as one of how P&G executes the strategy ( Continuing progress to reduce manufacturing waste , 2016). Also, P&G applies the above framework to handle the data that comes from different suppliers in different formats. Because of the lack of consistency in the types of information retrieved, the firm needs to adopt the approach that allows for arranging the existing data within the shortest amount of time. As a result, the amount of work that the company retrieves online is getting increasingly large, as reports say ( Just-in-Time manufacturing , 2000). Finally, P&G makes it very clear that the firm complies with the primary principles of JIT by transferring into the web environment, making it possible to speed up the processes to win its supply chain and, thus, increase its quality standards, as well as the overall profitability. Six Sigma and Acceptance Sampling Supposing, a company suffers from the staff’s inability to process data and transfer it efficiently and expeditiously due to the lack of responsibility and the habit of redirecting the tasks from one staff member to another. A range of essential facts is lost or distorted in the process. The application of the DMAIC framework will require that the following steps should be taken (Liang, 2014): Define The problem will be identified based on current performance analysis. Measure The efficacy of the tool will be measured by comparing the number of errors in the course of data processing. Analyze The analysis will require a careful overview of the stages of data management (i.e., its acquisition, processing, and further transfer). Improve At the specified stage, the promotion of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and knowledge sharing principles must be viewed as a necessity. Control The monitoring process can be executed by assigning one of the managers with the corresponding task of making sure that every operation should be completed on time and in a diligent way. Rationale Information management is an essential part of any company’s functioning. By focusing on the issues that impede the process, one is likely to increase the quality and the output significantly. Capacity Planning The differences between the design capacity and the effective one are rather basic. Whereas the former allows identifying the theoretical threshold for the company’s production ability, the latter states the actual amount of items that the firm can deliver within the identified amount of time. Apart from being drastically different in their definition, the two types of capacities also have significant gaps between them in terms of their rate. As a rule, the design capacity is much hi
Introduction Climate change is one of the world’s most urgent and pressing environmental concerns (Ghadge, Wurtmann, and Seuring, 2019). The phenomenon is mostly characterized by shifting weather patterns and a rise in global temperatures (UNEP, 2020). If there is no drastic action taken to adapt to these changes, it will become difficult to realize a sustainable future for humanity (United Nations, 2019). Climate change concerns stem from the presence of high levels of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere (NASA, 2019). Kwik (2015) says that industrialization, which has spanned for almost a century, is largely responsible for this outcome. Although governments are making efforts to reverse the trend, rapid economic development in emerging economies and an increase in the global population may undermine such efforts. This document outlines a research plan to help the world transition to a sustainable future by exploring ways to mitigate climate change risks in the management of global supply chains. Stated differently, it addresses climate change as a global environmental disaster and seeks to find solutions that would mitigate its effects through changes to supply chain processes, which support global commerce. The first section of this research plan explains the key terms used in the analysis. An annotated literature review, a brief overview of the research aim/objectives, and a discussion of the case study design are also provided. Lastly, a summary of the main findings appears as the last part of the document. However, before delving into the details of this analysis, it is important to understand the key terms used in this study. Key Terms   * Supply chain risk management : Management of risk in the distribution of goods and services to ensure profitability (Yao and Chen, 2018).   * Climate Change : Variations in the characteristics of long-term weather conditions.   * Sustainability : Reduction of environmental degradation to maintain ecological balance.   * Greenhouse Gases : A type of gas that emits harmful radiant energy in the atmosphere.   * Risk Management : The art of analyzing unforeseen elements that could affect supply chain management processes and devising ways to address them. Annotated Literature Review Meijer, K. S. (2015) ‘A comparative analysis of the effectiveness of four supply chain initiatives to reduce deforestation, Tropical Conservation Science , 5(6), pp. 583-597. The article authored by Meijer (2015) investigates the role of supply chain management in reducing the rate of deforestation, as a strategy for reversing climate change. The author explores two types of supply chain systems in Brazil
Introduction Racial bigotry is a pest and social malady affecting societies across the globe. Racism is “established by cataloging its various symptoms and manifestations that include fear, separation, discrimination, and hatred” (Farris, 2007, p. 342). The primary cause of racial discrimination is ignorance. The movie (Crash directed by Paul Haggis) demonstrates candidly how racial bigotry and authority as social problems impact the lives of people. Crash shows how people from diverse ethnic backgrounds and social status reflexively generate an undulating cause and effect through everyday relations. Crash comprises multiple racial descriptions. Blacks, whites, Chinese, Koreans, Mexicans, and Arabs are incorporated in this display of racially distasteful language. The movie shows how frequently people distinguish others according to racial descriptions. This article will review how racial issues are manifested in the movie. Racial Issues In the first scene, Haggis introduces two white characters: Jean and Rick. The sheer representation of the two characters compared to the others reflects a measure of racial bigotry. The two are portrayed as confident, good-looking, and wealthy characters who hail from a high social status. Jean clings to her husband’s hand after seeing two youthful black men. The act demonstrates that she is a distinctive racist. In this context, Jean displays the stance that a majority of the whites have towards other races. Despite being in a secure location, Jean feels timid on seeing the two black men (Farris, 2007). According to Jean, black men are cruel, ruthless, and always out to harm anyone they come across. The film director confirms Jean’s apprehension when Anthony (one of the black men) steals her car. In a way, Haggis brings out the concept of racism by showing how Jean reacts to seeing the black men. By depicting the two men as thieves, the film director appears to approve racial bigotry meted on the blacks. In a sense, the director seems to trust that Jean’s worries are legitimate. The film propagates the assumptions that the whites are peaceful while the blacks have a high propensity to violence. After Jean and Rick lose their car, they opt to have the locks changed in fear that the criminals might decide to strike again. They procure the services from a Hispanic man. However, Jean doubts the man because of his physical appearance. Jean argues that the Hispanic man might go and sell the keys to his accomplices. She even goes to the extent of referring to the man as “gang member with a shaved head and pants around his ankles” (Farris, 2007, p. 344). The sentiments show how Jean loathes other races. According to her, most men from the minority groups are thieves and cannot be trusted. The scene depicts racism from a white man’s point of view. The director uses Jean’s attitude towards other races to bring out the concept of “whiteness” and how it portrays the universe in the reflection of the white person. Another character that brings
Demand refers to a specific quantity per unit time which a customer is able and willing to buy at an alternative price while other factors are held constant (Slack, Chambers & Johnston, 2010). This study focuses on two types of demand which are dependent and independent demand. Dependent demand has its aspects foreseeable or predictable. It depends upon specific factors which are clearly knowledgeable to everyone and can be controlled by the firm (Slack et al, 2010). For example, if a publishing company’s previous demand forecast shows that 5000 books are sold each week, then the firm’s production team is able to produce these books because they are sure that the market demand depends upon their production schedule (Slack et al, 2010). Independent demand refers to the aspects which the firm is not able to control. It comprises of; government policy, climate change, cultural beliefs and change in tastes and preferences. For example if a multinational company manufacturing pork may decide to launch new investments in a country where pork consumption is considered a taboo and although this company may be doing a very good job, the cultural beliefs can become a constraint to its operations since the firm has no control over the aspects of culture. Furthermore, the government policy has to be considered especially in cases where a specific commodity is considered to be illegal. Scheduling of demand enables the firm to be able to predict possible outcomes of results based on the distinct types of demand. The aspects considered in preparing a schedule of demand are the price of the product and the quantity demanded at a given time (Slack et al, 2010). In the case of dependent demand, scheduling acts as an aid in ascertaining the demand needs of the customers in a specific time frame. Scheduling of demand does not have a significant impact in the case of independent demand because its aspects are unpredictable. For example, a company producing umbrellas cannot predict the weather patterns and hence it is not possible for the company to know when it will rain so that they produce a lot of umbrellas. Therefore, when it comes to the case of independent demand scheduling is not very effective. Thus, the type of demand considered has a very massive impact on the process of demand scheduling. The bill of material refers to the specific constituents needed to be able to produce a specific commodity and it is essential since the firm cannot meet its demand if the raw materials
Executive Summary The area of recruiting and staffing was chosen for the analysis of recent trends and subsequent provision of recommendations for change. First, talent management strategies were recommended, such as creating a talent pool and identifying talent needs in the current operation. Second, it was established that mutually perceived trustworthiness is an important factor in the relationship between an applicant and a hiring organisation, which is why it was recommended to monitor the quality of the information provided by the organisation to applicants. Third, several practices were identified and described that should be avoided in the interviewing process. Finally, the ethical boundaries of searching for applicant information that recruiters should consider were defined. Introduction Like other areas of human resources management practice, the area of recruiting and staffing is constantly revised today. Due to technological development as well as advancements in management in general, human resources management practitioners face various needs related to improving their practices. For an organisation, it becomes crucial to be innovative in terms of its human resources management practices, and such innovation is impossible without proper research and information analysis (Bratton & Gold 2012). To improve organisational practices related to recruiting and staffing, it is necessary to review recent trends and themes in this area, and such themes include talent management principles, trustworthiness, widespread interviewing mistakes, and searching for applicant information online. Literature Review Principles of Talent Management For businesses today, it is of paramount importance to attract creative employees who are capable of not only complying with their job descriptions but also making extra contributions to their work. Within recent decades, the concept of talent management has been developed in this context, and many academics and professionals have addressed the issues of how talented employees can be recruited and how it can be ensured that an organisation gains maximum benefits from their talents. Stahl et al. (2012) collected primary data in a series of in-depth case studies with 37 international corporations. The inclusion criteria were the organisations’ large scope of an international operation, established reputation, and successful long-term performance. The authors further analysed various themes that emerged from the responses of those organisations’ representatives. It was primarily established that the area of talent management incorporates three major components: activities and practices, delivery and coordination, and alignment (Figure 1). In compliance with the CIPD guidelines ( Talent management 2017), Stahl et al. (2012) emphasise t
The myth of Iris (the rainbow) and the sky is reflective legend riddled with a series of etiological elements in its interpretation. The myth offers intrinsically narrates the war that Iris had with the sky due to the pride of Iris. Iris did a lot of bad things that made the sky very mad. Reflectively, a legend narration is characterized by two parties who try to outshine each other. In fact, there is always a superior party of the two who will eventually win in the confrontation. The inferior party will always want to use cunning tricks to try to challenge the superior party. As it is always the case in many legendary tales, the inferior party called Iris challenges the sun, the moon and even the more superior sky on a fame contest. Iris uses many tricks such as deception and live contest to outmatch its competitors who the support of the Sky. Iris fails miserable and even deeply offends the sky. In the climaxing test for popularity and preference by those living under the sky, Iris attempts to outshine the sun without success. As a disciplinary action, the sky permits the sun to shine for so long that the people experienced famine. As is always the case in many legends, there is a winner who is always rewarded with a gift in the form of favor by the gods or an item of precious value. In the case of the Iris legend, the sun gets this reward and it leads to a disaster. The rain is then rewarded to rescue the people but it only leads to more death. The sky finally gives up and permits the rainbow to appear after the rain as a symbol of hope to the people. Reflectively, an etiological legend like that of “Iris and the Sky” presents a narration of beginning, cause and continuation of certain events in the society or nature. The ideal etiological element that can be identified in the Iris and Sky myth is the elucidation practices that are synergistic within a self contained system. The narration explains why the sunshine and the rain cannot occur at the same time. In fact, the sun has the responsibility of shining for some time and then the rain is expected to regulate the damages caused by the sun. If the rain is not stopped by the rainbow, it would destroy the people and their means of livelihood. Thus, Iris was given the role of giving hope to the people. Every time Iris is spotted, the people were assured of the end of rainfall. Just like the case in many legends such as the marriage between the sun and the moon, the considerable notion of fate and demureness demonstrate how the living things need to acknowledge nature for its role in their survival. This involuntary cage ensnares people unwillingly in teleological effectiveness coordination, power and lucid calculations in their endeavor to forge a common identity. On the front of regionalism, the traditional cage is characterized by defining rules, disciplinary control, and recognition
