Nstp-Cwts Community Outreach Program Project Proposal

This author’s personal perceptions concerning patients facing a lingering terminal illness, have been shaped by over 20 years of critical care nursing experience. Facing death and illness on a daily basis requires self-examination and a high degree of comfort with one’s own mortality, limits and values. Constant exposure to the fragility of life forces respect for the whole person and the people who love them. A general approach to patients who are actively dying is to allow them to define what they want and need during this time. The nurse’s role

The City of Bend, Oregon Government consists of approximately 500 employees across thirteen different divisions. These divisions are Police, Fire, Community Development, Public Works, etc and are all coordinated under the City Manager’s office. Bend’s government style is called a “weak mayor” form of city government, in that the citizens elect a city council, which then elects a mayor from among the council members. The city council and mayor, then hire a City Manager to run the day to day operations of the city. In doing this form of government, the City Manager is not directly accountable to the citizens and can focus on the needs of the city and its employees. At the same time, the City Council can only provide direction to the city manager and is accountable to the citizens. The city employees in this case are led by the city manager as directed by city council. The community leadership environment in this case is established by council to provide direction to the city manager.

Measles was discovered in the 19th century by a Persian Doctor, but was not recognized until 1957 as an infectious agent in human blood by a Scottish physician. In 1912 measles became a notifiable disease and in the first decade that records were kept there was on average 6,000 deaths per year reported from the disease. (Center For Disease Control). There is no definite origination of measles but scientists believe that it dates back to the Roman Empire about the 11th and 12th century (NCBI, 2010). The first outbreak known in America was in 1657 in Boston,

Program planning is a process to achieve a particular goal and/or mission. Program planning is an organized process through which a set of coordinated activities or interventions is developed to address and facilitate change in some or all of the identified problems. Program evaluation provides useful information for improving the programs and the service delivery systems. Program evaluation is to improve the program planning, effectiveness, design, and efficiency. The two are different processes, but ideally they hold the same goals and/or mission. The evaluation process takes place after the planning of a

I visited Wilmington Health Access for Teens for a field experience observation. Through this experience I observed different types of people seeking care in the clinic. Some people I saw in the clinic were African American females with children and Caucasian females. People who come into the clinic are seeking medical assistance and following up on routine examination appointments. I learned of different barriers when accessing care at the clinic and types of presenting health problems among adolescents and teens. From this field experience, I learned about Wilmington Health Access for Teens health services and how they help teens improve their health and provide preventions, education and outreach services to promote optimal health

The west side of Buffalo, NY has had a bad reputation for a long time now, but it hasn’t always been that way. Many years ago the area known as the west side was a popular and extravagant place to live. Through years of economic hardships however, the west side took a wrong turn somewhere. It is now viewed by many people as “a lost cause.” The crime rates have skyrocketed and the standard of living has plummeted. Gangs are a huge issue in the west side of Buffalo because the gang members scare and intimidate the residents of nearby homes. People are not reporting major crimes because they are scared that they will get hurt because of it. The tenth street gang has been known of by

“Building family, building business, building future[O1] .” This is the New Salem town motto. Three senior nursing students assessed the rural community and have determined the motto is fitting. New Salem is only 20 miles from the larger, urban city of Bismarck, but that does not mean that New Salem has nothing to offer. New Salem has a grocery store, a school, several churches, and recreational activities available. New Salem also has several different attractions including a statue of world’s largest Holstein cow also known as “Salem Sue.” Diving deeper into New Salem, students explored the civic core, subsystems, perceptions, and priority needs of the community.

For my outside experience project for TRS 101, I visited the Islamic Society of Akron and Kent, which is located in Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio. Prior to my experience, I had little to no knowledge about the Islamic faith, other than what popular culture and the news has engrained into the public’s minds. I already recognized that there was a major difference between radical Muslims such as Al-Queda and Isis, but I did not have much of an understanding of what the normal, more conservative Muslim faith was really like. One of my high school friends, Youseff, was one of the very few Muslims at my Jesuit high school. He is an extremely personable and bright kid, and is able to speak extremely articulately about his faith and its numerous misunderstandings and stereotypes. I had hoped that the community at the mosque would be made up of people like him, but I truly had no idea.

I completed my service project working alongside Dawn McKee from the Centre County Women’s Resource Center. She, along with the director of the Children’s Advocacy Center, director of the Youth Service Bureau, a representative from Children and Youth Services, and a representative from YMCA of Centre County came together to organize an event for sexual assault and child abuse. They coordinated an event on the courthouse steps in Bellefonte where they recognized members in the community who were dedicated to preventing and spreading awareness of sexual assault and child abuse.

COLUMBUS — A contingent from Wayne County participated in a conference in Columbus to demonstrate its commitment to link those from the criminal justice and behavioral health fields to tackle the problem of jails serving as treatment facilities for those with mental illnesses.

I really like your improvement project topic because it brings attention to the fact that although electronic health records are beneficial to advancing healthcare, when used inappropriately or ignored it can lead to patient harm. According to the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (2016) argues that many clinicans are suffering from alert fatigue, meaning they are becoming desentized to safety alerts and as a result ignore or fail to respond to them appropriately. It considered an unintended consequence of health care that can lead to huge safety hazards. The global aim statement for your project gives an excellent overview of your improvement project. You give a good supporting argument of why this issue needs to be addressed.

Beacon Hill is a programed aimed to aid homeless youth find permanent housing. This program evaluation plan is intended to analyze the effectiveness of the program with the youth populations. It is also a trial run for the program to make sure that is suitable to meet the goals and objectives once it is officially implemented. It is meant to identify any weakness and fix them before the program starts. Through the use of various evaluation techniques, which include individual interviews with participants as well as surveys/questionnaires, program evaluators will be able to acknowledge the usefulness of the program and verify that it will meet the needs of the homeless youth population.

The elderly have multiple health problems and struggle to stay healthy and able to care for their own needs. The elderly in the rural areas tend to have a number of needs that may be compounded because of their choice of dwellings. The rural person may need to seek health care in different nearby cities, or may find some health care providers in their own local communities. Many elderly or older adults would benefit from a health promotion plan that would focus on the needs of this age group. The components that this plan would focus on includes physical activity, proper nutrition, and coping with mental stressors. While all older adults could potential benefit from this plan, this plan will be offered primarily in rural communities in order
