Discussion board week #15

/in /by

 

This last discussion board is due by Wednesday, 11:59pm.

In 2019, Police Officer Amber Guyger was convicted of the murder of Botham Jean in a 2017 case in which she entered his apartment and shot him thinking he was an intruder in her own nearby apartment, according to her testimony.  Guyger was convicted and sentenced to 10 years in prison.  The younger brother of Botham spoke in court after the conviction was read stating that he forgave Guyger and requested that he be allowed to hug her, which he did. 

Here is a video news report on it: LINK (Links to an external site.).

Here is a video of Tervor Noah’s comment and views on the case: LINK (Links to an external site.).

[1] What is your response to what Brandt Jean, brother of the murdered Botham Jean, did in court?  Do you believe forgiving someone who has deeply wronged us is a moral duty or is the act of forgiving something extra that goes above and beyond what is one’s duty?  Explain your answer.

[2] What is your response to the analysis and commentary of Trevor Noah on the Guyger case?  Based on what Trevor says and based on the NPR Podcast interview with Jemar Tisby, what do you think about the question of “whether the public expects black victims to provide forgiveness to white perpetrators” (NPR Podcast 2019, link (Links to an external site.))?

[3] Please share any of your final thoughts on this course for this semester and what you would say is the most important thing you learned.

Lack of access to healthcare

/in /by

Quite often, nurse leaders are faced with ethical dilemmas, such as those associated with choices between competing needs and limited resources. Resources are finite, and competition for those resources occurs daily in all organizations.

For example, the use of 12-hour shifts has been a strategy to retain nurses. However, evidence suggests that as nurses work more hours in a shift, they commit more errors. How do effective leaders find a balance between the needs of the organization and the needs of ensuring quality, effective, and safe patient care?

In this Discussion, you will reflect on a national healthcare issue and examine how competing needs may impact the development of polices to address that issue.

To Prepare:

  • Review the Resources and think about the national healthcare issue/stressor you previously selected for study in Module 1.
  • Reflect on the competing needs in healthcare delivery as they pertain to the national healthcare issue/stressor you previously examined.

Post an explanation of how competing needs, such as the needs of the workforce, resources, and patients, may impact the development of policy. Then, describe any specific competing needs that may impact the national healthcare issue/stressor you selected. What are the impacts, and how might policy address these competing needs? Be specific and provide examples.

Assignment: Academic Success and Professional Development Plan Part 1: Developing an Academic and Professional Network

When was the last time you read Meditation XVII of John Donne’s Devotions Upon Emergent Occasions?

Unless you are a student of seventeeth-century poetry, you may not be all that familiar with this piece. However, you may be much more familiar with one of its well-known phrases: “No man is an island…”.

As you begin your journey toward achieving your academic and professional goals, you have a great opportunity to network with academics and professionals who can help ensure you do not travel alone. This network can help to clarify your own vision for success and can help guide you now and in the future. To paraphrase Donne, no one is an island.

Begin creating an academic and professional network by identifying which academic and professional connections and resources with which you need to collaborate to succeed in your MSN program and as a practicing nurse.

To Prepare:

  • Consider individuals, departments, teams, and/or resources within Walden University and within your profession that you believe can support your academic and professional success.
  • Identify at least two academic and at least two professional individuals, colleagues, or teams that might help you succeed in your MSN program and as a practicing nurse.

    4. Discuss dosage, scheduling, route, and length of therapy.
    5. Describe what clients can expect regarding their therapeutic response and when it should develop

  • The Speaker Notes for each slide will contain the text that will guide what the trainer will say while presenting the slides during the in-service.
  • The content slides themselves should be clear and easy to understand; they serve as an outline so the audience can follow along with what is being presented.
