Decision Decisions : Decisions And Decisions

Growing up, I was never really sure what to tell people when they asked what I wanted to do when I was older. Over the years I flip-flopped between a laundry list of possible professions: veterinarian, nurse, EMT, cosmetologist, and many more short-lived dreams. As I grew and learned from my life experiences, I realized

The decision-making process occurs at all levels of management. However, the top executive managers, middle level managers, and front line managers are responsible for guiding the decision making process within their healthcare organizations (Liebler & McConnell, 2008,p.148). CEO’s are responsible for guiding the actions and behaviors of their employees to collectively achieve the organization’s goals. The mission and vision statement are the foundation of what direction the healthcare agency is heading. The CEO and top level executives are responsible for developing code of ethics and code of conduct to align with accreditation, licensing, and federal and state laws.

Most decisions are made with analysis, but some are judgment calls not susceptible to analysis due to time or information constraints. Please write about a judgment call you’ve made recently that couldn’t be analyzed. It can be a big or small one, but should focus on a business issue. What was the situation, the alternatives you considered and evaluated, and your decision making process? Be sure to explain why you chose the alternative you did relative to others considered.

“What do you want to be when you grow up?” I can not recall the numbers of times I have been asked this question. The question is phrased in various ways:

I’ve always known that I was meant to become a teacher. In the fifth grade yearbook, each child claimed what they wanted to be, although most of these will change with time. Every little girl guessed that they would be a professional dancer, a princess, and other mystical job titles. The space beneath my smiling face read “kindergarten teacher”.

It wasn’t an easy decision since being a multi-sport athlete, I was also a great boxer and football player. I had love for the sports that I took part in, the potential I had was like no other. I had the academic qualities and physical attributes to go a long way with all three sports but nothing beats time. I had to make this decision in order to establish what I was going focus on. I decided to focus on soccer because this sport takes my mind off everything, I feel like i'm in a different realm when I play, I don’t get that feeling for anything

Throughout my life, one question has plagued me during icebreakers, uncomfortable family gatherings, and standardized tests: what do you want to be when you grow up? I went through the standard set of responses as I grew up (ballerina, Rockstar, astronaut, Godzilla, etc.), but when I finally got to the age when what I answered actually mattered, I found that I really had no idea. I antagonized over the question, trying to work my way backward: What did that question even mean? Was it just to find a job or a career, something that paid the bills, or something that truly made me happy? For much longer than probably advisable, I put off answering The Question. Thankfully, the universe felt generous enough to drop some pretty obvious hints my way.

“What do you guys want to be when you grow up?” My teacher asked to start the day’s lesson.

Deciding to DecideOn the front page of the local newspaper was an article entitled “Walk in the woods turns into a nightmare”. This was a sexual assault and threat of physical harm for a nine year old girl and her family. She tells of a family friend of 32 years who asked her parents to take her on a walk. In the teaching of Christ we have been taught to love our neighbors as ourselves but where in this scenario should one question that teaching. After much difficulty of a different ways a Christian will deal with a spiritual solutions; I must pray for the young man who committed this crime although not approving of the act. As he not pleaded guilty to knowing his actions were wrong but commented that the girl had a glint in her eye making him feel that she wanted him. He will be incarcerated for only 3

What do you want to be when you grow up? It’s the question I remember being asked multiple times as a child. Most children aspire to become something along the lines of a dancer or firefighter simply after they answered their minds would change, but me I was always persistent in my choice to become a nurse. From a young age I was able to recognize it as one of the most rewarding jobs out there.

I like to take my time because I get things done better that way but the situation is that I want to do so much while in college. Like working hard to join a sport and working to help my parents out since I come from a low-income family. I understand that I’m not the type of person to manage all these things too well so what I’m most worried about is what I’ll decide to do, whether to put my family aside and just do what I want to do while they support me morally and financially or help my family out by getting a job while also going to school. I worry about my family because they have provided so much for me up until college but I also want to pursue my interests like playing college soccer which is what I’ve been looking forward to for so long. I understand that college level courses will take up a lot of time so that is why I’m in a

“What do you want to be when you grow up?” This question seems to get thrown around to kids a lot. I too have been asked this question many times, and to be honest, I have answered differently each time. That is until middle school when I started to find health sciences really interesting.

The rational decision-making model describes a series of steps that decision makers should consider if their goal is to maximize the quality of their outcome. In other words, if you want to make sure that you make the best choice, going through the formal steps of the rational decision-making model may make sense. The following are the steps taken to come to a rational decision: 1. Identify the problem, 2. Establish decision criteria, 3. Weigh decision criteria, 4. Generate alternatives, 5. Evaluate the alternative, 6. Choose the best alternative, 7. Implement the decision, 8. Evaluate the decision.

Everything you do is a choice. You choose the way you are living today. As we walk on the path of life, we are presented with cross roads and forks. Some are pretty obvious which turn we should take. However, not everything is easy in life. And in the fast pace life we are currently living in right now, we move so fast that we meet many more challenges than before and often, we hastily decide on the choices we make.

Decision making can be described as a process of making a decision or decisions, based on choices made amongst two or more competing course of actions. The ‘Decision making’ also requires making a define choice between two or more alternatives course of actions that are available.
