Personal Nursing Vision

Personal Nursing Vision

Growing up, I never though I would be a nurse but I had a passion for helping people. When I was 12, my elder brother had an accident and I was amazed by how the nurses in the ER did not care about what he ha done to land in the ER but concentrated on giving him the best care. My interest in nursing grew further when I saw nurses visiting him at home when he was recovering. My next turning point was in high school when a Family Nurse Practitioner was invited to give us a talk. I was ...

For five months, I have been practicing meditation almost on a daily basis. I started my meditation practice last year in October, driven by the fact that I was experiencing sleeping disorders, which made me feel unbalanced, cranky and tired. My first meditation sessions started out with mixed feelings. I was determined to do something about my sleeping problems, and I did not want to become a slave of medication. A friend of mine advised me to practice meditation to calm myself, indicating that this might have effective results for making me feel more relaxed and for losing my sleeping anxiety. ...

InstitutionUnderstanding Lifestyle Modification: My Personal Experiences in Managing Chronic Back Pain through Healthy Diet and Physical Exercise

A. Personal response
However escapist I may sound, I did have a host of factors contributing to my poor eating habits and lack of exercise. On top of being a mother of two small kids (2 and 5 yrs old), I am working part time and studying in school full time. Due to busy schedule, I have little or no time for exercise and paid no attention to healthy eating regimen. On and off, I did attempt to follow healthy eating regimen, but intrapersonal challenges made it hard for me to adjust and stay with healthy eating habits.

Civil Rights Movement and American Paradox

Introduction
In 1960s, Republican overwhelmingly supported the Civil Right Movement and believed the idea from constitution “all men are created equal” and Northern Democrats supported the cause too. The Southern Democrats were “conservative” and were against the Civil Right Movement and they wanted segregation to stay within their society. They believed blacks being treated as “separate” were enough in itself.

Some examples of American Paradox to Civil Rights Movement:

The Slow Poisoning of India is a short documentary that reflects upon the environmental hazards posed by the continuous release of chemical substances to the environment. This has been as a result of use of modern pesticides by farmers. With India being one of the largest users of pesticides in Asia, it is quite clear then that the magnitude of chemical release into the environment has been high. This combined with the slowly fading influence of the Green Movement in Punjab has not made the issue any lighter. Increase in levels of pollution and neglect by authorities and concerned groups have ...

In essence, the council of elders acted as a local criminal justice system that had the mandate and responsibility to ...

In the family of the genogram, it appears that the tendency for a serious physical illness may be inherited. This is particularly likely, as both serious illnesses in this case are autoimmune problems, which are known to have genetic biases. There is also the possibility of a substance abuse tendency, although it has not yet shown up in the third generation. However, as the members of this generation are still young, the possibility of this happening remains. Also clear from the interactional pattern information, having a serious physical illness can result in hostile relationships with your relations whether you are close or ...

Impact in disease management by predicted climate change
The disease triangle is a graphical representation of a paradigm in plant pathology (Agrios 2005). It illustrates the relationship between three components of plant diseases. These components are the susceptible host, the causative biotic agent and the nature of the environment in which the two exist. If the environment is conducive for the disease causing biotic agent, then the host which is the plant is prone to adverse infection. The disease can be prevented by altering the environment in which the disease causing agent thrives in to one which is unfavorable to ...

The main Babesiosis diagnostic tests available are microbiological and serological. Unfortunately these tests have low specificity and sensitivity. Two molecular tests, the Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and Fluorescent In-Situ Hybridization (FISH) tests, developed by IGeneX have great potential. Using 100 mice models the sensitivity and the specificity of the two tests will be determined and compared with the serological test.

There are numerous benefits that can be accrued from keeping pets at home. These benefits range from psychological to health benefits. Research has shown that having pets around one’s home lowers a person’s blood pressure and also reduces anxiety (Sussman, 63).

They create a kind of a social connection that enables children and the aged to fully express themselves. It is a challenge though to decide which ...

Health disparities refer to variations that exist in the health status of diverse groups of people. The different groups can be classified based on sex or gender, sexual orientation, age, ethnicity, race, disability, geographic area of residence and income (U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, 2016). Based on this classification, it is normally evident that some groups of people record higher rates of suffering and deaths from some diseases when compared to other groups (U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, 2016). The disparities and the effects they have on healthcare outcomes are outlined below.

The two main objectives of a healthcare delivery system are to provide healthcare for anybody who needs it, as well as to deliver quality care at a price patients can afford to pay. Countries around the world have a different position on how to deliver these two main objectives. For example, Canada has true universal healthcare. Citizens pay higher taxes in order to afford this healthcare, but in return if an individual is hurt, sick, mental ill, becomes pregnant, needs a dentist, or just has a chest cold, almost all of the expenses are covered at a very reasonable ...

Introduction

Predominantly, economic well-being has great connections with social well-being (Easterlin, 2001). As such, most of the public policies that are intended to improve the social welfare are usually directed towards variables that indicate economic welfare. However, not all aspects of social well-being have direct linkage with economic wellness. Thus, economic progress in a country does not entirely translate to social happiness among citizens since some economic growth policies involve trade-offs between social risk and income growth (Bok, 2009).
In essence, economic well-being entails a measure of economic wellness of citizens in a country ...

This article states that the inequality within the healthcare provision is evident across the 22 nations in Europe. Among these countries, there was a comparison that was conducted in relation to the opportunities in reducing health inequalities. Based on the study, almost all of the 22 countries have considerably high death toll as well as poor health self-assessment. This is especially among individuals who belong to lower socioeconomic status. However, such issue in health inequality can be addressed through educational improvement, equal household income distribution, and most especially, equal opportunities in relation to health access.
