Bird Reflection

Edward Bloom was a story teller. He would tell elaborate stories to his son since he was born. Not only were the stories exciting, they were told to bring life and excitement into Edwards life. Growing up, William enjoyed his father’s stories. As time goes on, the stories began to become more and more uneventful and less entertaining. This was because William has heard the same stories his whole life. He did not know what was true and what was fake. On his death bed, Edward reconnects with William by getting him to see that he was not lying his whole life, just telling his life story in a much more interesting way. Yes, some details were changed but that does not mean they were all lies. William just did not see that until the end.

What i learned throughout the past weeks about my stocks is I learned that I have to spend my money more wisely throughout the whole entire week that we had this project. I think the most important lesson I learned about these last 8 weeks is that I should have bought and sell more stocks I think if I would have done that I would have gained more money through the long run it would have made it more interesting because if I would have bought and sold more. I would have learned the lesson not to do it again in case I lost a huge profit. What I also learned about this project is that I might go into the stock market one day and see how I do to see if gain actual money or if I lose money because it's actually a good thing to invest in because you could potentially gain profit from it rather than just saving money and you could also double your money from saving and the stock market.

I give this movie a six out of five-star rating. How it managed to keep me on the edge of my seat the entire time is beyond me; I am still in disbelief that I was fully engaged for the entire two hours and twenty-six minutes. Although I had heard many great things about the novel, the film exceeded all of my expectations. The Natural teaches many valuable lessons about perseverance, determination, commitment, karma, relationships, and staying young at heart.

This reflective essay will be adopted from Rolfe, Freshwater and Jasper’s (2001) reflection model. This reflection is based on a case study that I have read and will be based on the intervention I have chosen to treat the patient. Mr. Castello was admitted to the ward for observation after a fight and sustaining a laceration to his right forehead from a beer bottle and extensive bruising and scratches to his left arm. Mr. Castello had a pre-existing chest infection, Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus (DM), and asthma. Assessing, cleaning and dressing his wounds is an integral part of his treatment, as his DM can lead to delayed wound healing and increased chance of infection (Salazar, Ennis, & Koh, 2016). This could be successfully achieved through

On arrival they witnessed smoke and flames on the mid level of the building. Two battalion chiefs arrived on scene and one proceeded to set up incident command at the lobby, while the other led fire fighters up the building for fire attack (Routley 8). One of the security guards then informed the chiefs that the fire was on the 22nd floor, and at 2033 battalion chief 5 ordered a second alarm (Routley 8). Due to insufficient fire protection around the utility lines all power was lost to the building (Routley 8). At the loss of primary power the emergency generator didn’t kick in due to improper maintenance it was unable to start (Routley 8). This profoundly impacted the fire operations for the remainder of the incident because the entire building was left without electricity (Routley 8). As stated in the tactical report, “This total power failure had a major impact on the firefighting operations. The lack of lighting made it necessary for firefighters to carry out suppression operations in complete darkness using only battery powered lights. Since there was no power to operate elevators, firefighters were forced to hand carry all suppression equipment including SCBA replacement cylinders up the stairs to the staging area that was established on the 20th floor. In addition, personnel had to climb at least 20 floors

These were my sixth (10/15) and seventh (10/16) night shifts following Meagan on the medical/surgical floor at Rady Children’s Hospital. On Thursday, the floor was full with 39 patients and we were unable to accept any more patients. Since it was so busy, Meagan and I stayed at the front of the floor where no one else was sitting to prevent distractions so that we could complete our assessments and charting in a timely fashion. Many patients were discharged during the day on Friday, so there were significantly less patients for my second shift on Friday night. However, it was still busy with 4 admits right at the beginning of shift, 12 nurses, and a total of 35 patients by the end of the shift.

For the hospital, this means that they are facing an increasing number of patients being admitted (who are suffering from smoke inhalation). Once the staff is able to effectively, deal with these issues is when they are inundated with another round of patients coming into the emergency room. This is placing pressure on them, as they have to work longer hours and are often frustrated by these issues. To make matters worse, the administration has announced that they will require everyone to work additional hours (with no overtime pay). This has angered many people, who believe that their timing is poor given the challenges they are facing. To make matters worse there is infighting between the staff about the availability of more beds (from patients who are constantly overwhelming the facility). This is creating a problem for staff members who feel as if they are not receiving the necessary assistance. ("Neighborhood News," 2012)

Before choosing this topic I had to do lot of research on this. I took me a while to understand this topic. I had three options to choose from and all of them were current events, but college athletes getting paid or not was the one that make me feel more comfortable. After doing research on this topic for couple months, I feel great about the topic. It was more interesting when you put the topic in proposal form and describe the topic about what you want to research and how you’ll present it. Faux interview made the topic even more interesting for me because I interviewed a person and got their personal opinion. Yes, I feel committed to the topic because it’s one of the current event that’s breaking the news and it is catching lot of people’s

When I touched base at work Saturday morning, the PICU was half full and the pediatric unit had seven patients, between the two units there were nine attendants, three CAN's, and three specialists on obligation. Encompassing the nursing station were eight patient rooms, isolated by window ornaments and set with medicinal gear and bed. Associated with the fundamental room was a different worker just station where all solution is completely put away in PC controlled compartments. Off to one side of the prescription room was a little cubical like station where rescue vehicle calls were gotten and

Prejudice; what a strong and powerful word that is. When prejudice first comes to mind I first think of, judgment, bias, stereotyping, unfairness and intolerance. It's much more than that it's an evil discriminator act of power. A preconceived opinion of someone de to physical characteristics that can't be helped or changed. There are many different forms of prejudice but the four main ones to me are as follows. Sexism (the unfair prejudice against someone because of their sex), ageism (the pre conceived idea that they are not worthy due to someone's age), socio economic prejudice (the discrimination against someone due to their wealth/class/job place in society etc) and last but not least

As we begin to wrap up this semester, I reflect on all the learning and achievements I have obtained thus far in the program. Throughout this semester, my communication and relational capacity has grown, driving me to break out of my comfort shell. At the beginning of this year I had wrote a letter to myself, outlining three goals that I wanted to achieve. The three goals were: work with a palliative client, become more assertive, and to integrate family care into my practice. I began the semester off in acute care, on the medical floor. During the second part of the semester, I was assigned to be in the first group of students to start the Trail Outreach Nursing. My new placement has created a new goal of increasing my communication

While reading this week’s chapters in the book, I now have ten more questions and zero answers. There is a lot of mystery with what’s going on with the mother and the FBI. The reader is left puzzled and unsure with what the mother could have done to have to run away and change names. I feel extremely bad for Birdie she is stuck in this lie that her mother created and now she is separated from her father and Cole. While reading I felt that Birdie desperately wanted her father’s affection and never was able to achieve it. It seems that she will never gain a father daughter relationship since her and Sandy ran away and Cole and Deck went to Brazil for unknown reasons. Birdie is hiding who she truly is and has become “Jesse” a Jewish girl with

While driving back from our mission trip to Gloversville, New York, we set aside one hour for sharing stories about activities we participated in throughout the year. Lottie passed me a photo of the Rollin’ Hornets that her and Mike, the mission team leader, coach. Lottie goes to the practices and helps coach but since she is leaving for college soon Mike has been looking for someone to take over her position… and I filled her spot immediately. Now, I help coach the Rollin’ Hornets during the week and play with them when I get the chance. The Rollin’ Hornets is a wheelchair basketball program that gives individuals with physical disabilities an opportunity to be a part of a team, learn about life and basketball and know that a physical disability

To Kill a Mockingbird is a well known book that explores racial and social inequality. Harper Lee authored and published this book in July of 1960. The book is about a father with two curious children named Jeremy and Scout. They learn many life lessons throughout the novel, helping them understand the state of racial and social inequality. Atticus, their father, is well educated and a wise man. Throughout the book I connected with Atticus because he is principled, devoted, and optimistic.

During the era of the Holocaust, racial tension grew; Jewish people were persecuted and forced to go to concentration camps. Discrimination against the Jewish became a problem throughout Europe. There were other groups that were also mistreated, for instance: disabled people and slavic people. The novel, Night, written by Elie Wiesel is based on true events as experienced through the personal lense of the author.
