1LT Crader's Life And Accomplishments

COL (R) Christopher Kolenda commanded an excellent group of men and women in combat during Operation Enduring Freedom in Afghanistan, the 1-91 Cavalry (Airborne) Squadron, 173rd Airborne Brigade Combat Team (ABCT). In 2007 – 08 the 1-91 CAV deployed to Afghanistan, under his leadership and guidance he provided a strategy for his Officers and Senior Non-commissioned Officers. He was able to articulate his vision for successfully accomplishing the mission at hand by building a cohesive team through trust, a shared understanding and providing a clear intent. By providing a clear intent Senior NCO’s were able to implement his guidance and conduct successful missions. COL (R) Kolenda provided mentorship and guidance not only to Officers but also Senior NCO’s; along with CSM Pedraza they were able to trust and allow Senior NCO’s to conduct their duties with little to no supervision. During his command with 1-91 CAV he was able to implement an innovative approach to counterinsurgency by employing locally tailored combinations of armed diplomacy, conflict resolution, personal relationships, and high degrees of leverage, 1-91 CAV dramatically improved the instability in Kunar and Nuristan

Having been promoted to Lance corporal, I had the opportunity to teach others lesson on first aid and medical practice in the field. Leading my team and taking responsibility for them involved having to be aware of their strengths and weakness in order to utilise them to accomplish more together. These skills would give me a head start into the field as it requires the ability to analyse and deal with complex situations and excellent communication skills which I have all experienced and gradually

I have chosen to write about my old Battalion Commander, Brigadier General(BG) Peter Jones. The then Lieutenant Colonel(LTC) Jones oversaw my Infantry Battalion when I deployed to Ramadi, Iraq. He displayed numerous attributes that I model my military career from; he had an unwavering presence and strong intellect. His competence was also the highest that I have ever encountered in my military career; he was a lead from the front type of leader and strove to achieve nothing but success whilst keeping the soldiers in his command in the front of his mind. I have set my standards of leadership off BG Jones and that is why he is my personal leader of influence. I will outline some examples of him throughout this paper.

Effective leaders can inspire followers to excel and achieve a goal (Reed & Bogardus, 2012). Besides inspiration, military leaders should stimulate trust and possess specific core competencies including loyalty, selflessness, decisiveness, integrity, self-discipline, perseverance, and dedication (Loughlin & Arnold, 2007). Unfortunately, LCDR MacInnes lacks a few of these qualities.

Over his 24 year career, Master Sergeant Perez has distinguished himself through exceptionally meritorious service in a succession of positions of great importance and responsibility to the Army from October 2006 to September 2016, culminating as the Medical Operations Sergeant and Chief Medical NCO, 1st Calvary Division 's (1CD) Surgeon Section for the past 36 months. His previous positions of significant leadership include First Sergeant and Senior Practical Nurse, Ground Ambulance Company, 65th Medical Brigade, Korea; First Sergeant and Chief Clinical NCO, United States Army Medical Department Activity (USAMEDD), West Point, New York; Chief Medical NCO, Border Transition Team, 3rd Infantry Division (FWD), Operation Iraqi Freedom; Senior Training Development Writer, Army Medical Department Center and School.

10). In the past, many individuals could claim to know how to care for patients and get jobs as nurses or portray nurses in the field, however today that is impossible. Nurses are required to pass the National Council Licensure Examination (NCLEX) to practice in healthcare. The NCLEX-RN examination determines whether an individual is qualified to practice nursing safely (Catalano, 2015, p. 101). In order to be eligible to take the NCLEX, all potential candidates must successfully complete an accredited diploma, associate’s degree or bachelor’s degree program. “According to recent data published by the National League of Nursing (NLN), approximately 100 accredited diploma programs in the United States” (Catalano, 2015,

Generally, the path to becoming a CRNA begins with a 4-year undergraduate degree in nursing or another field. Although it is not required to possess a degree in nursing, a current license as a registered nurse

SPC Chaquea is committed to improving his medical skills by pursuing additional medical certifications, has worked as a civilian paramedic on the weekends to become proficient in his medical skills. His experience, character and determination to succeed make him a valuable candidate for the AMEDD Enlisted Commissioning Program. I am convinced SPC Chaquea, Diego F. will be successful in completing the Nursing Program and will go on to become an outstanding

Thomas Cranmer was born in Aslacton, Nottinghamshire, England, on July 2, 1489. His family was not particularly rich, his father being a poor village squire. His early education took place at home by a cruel schoolmaster, after which he was given a fellowship at Jesus College in Cambridge. He had taken particular interest in the movement toward church reform, which focused on the importance of the Bible and secular authority over papal authority. He lost this fellowship when he married the daughter of a local tavern-keeper, and so he took a job as a reader at Buckingham Hall. After his wife died in childbirth, Cranmer was re-accepted into the college. He obtained a Doctor of Divinity and was a lecturer of divinity at Jesus College.

Protecting the human weapon system, the central element of military power, is pivotal. Absent “craniums at the controls,” “boots on the ground,” and “hands on deck,” wars cannot be won. Strained budgets, emerging technologies, and evolving threats have pressed the United States to transform its military into a lighter, leaner, and more agile force. With fewer people performing more specialized roles, it is critical for each military member to remain healthy, fit, and effective. Such is the challenge, as DOD personnel are often placed in austere locations, on short notice, and under stressful conditions, where naturally acquired infectious threats are abundant, immune systems are naïve, and healthcare support is limited. A vital part of FHP, immunization is effective in mitigating these operational hurdles (http://www.readperiodicals.com/201104/2356430651.html).

The current requirements for the certification of CCRN, which is considered the “blueprint” standard and baseline of any critical care nursing, is firstly an unencumbered registered nurse license in the United States. Next, one must accumulate a required number of hours in direct bedside care of acute and critically ill patients, which equates to approximately 2 years of fulltime employment, or 5 years at the part time level with the majority of hours in the year preceding the

Okay men today we got orders from the CDC” announced Captain Luke O’Grady “ there is a new strain of rabies that originated about 12 miles north of us in a secluded village an hour east of Bourem, in Kidal, they want us to go help the villagers set up: quarantine tents, guard systems and vaccine stations. Over 30% of the town has become infected but they sent out a doctor that says 5 cases have been solved. The rest of the cases have been sedated and contained because they are in completely volatile state. Once we get them set up we are to be checked out by the CDC physician and evacuate the area”

The Institute of Medicine suggest the following: First, establish systems to reliably record immunizations given to military personnel. Second, closely monitor the health of armed forces personnel during conflict regardless of whether physical injuries have occurred. Third, perform similar health assessments simultaneously on randomly chosen and matched personnel who were deployed to a noncombat zone. Fourth, routinely monitor various exposures during combat.

The graduating class of 2016 had the lowest pass rate in the department’s history. Since the appointment of the new Interim Nursing Director Melissa Milner, in the summer of 2016, the department has taken numerous steps to improve their students’ first attempt at NCLEX-RN exam pass rate. The goal of cohort 6, this year’s graduating class, is to have the highest first attempt NCLEX-RN exam pass rate the Department has ever had. The importance of the improving the first attempt NCLEX-RN exam pass rate and having their graduates become highly successful can be seen in the Department’s vision statement. The Vision of the Nursing Department
