Professional Work Transitions

“A good name...is better than silver and gold,”- Proverbs 22:1. This quote is taken from one of the oldest books known to mankind, and although the Bible is controversial, few could deny the truth in the words above. Indeed, a good reputation builds trust, which in turn breeds opportunity. However, a person’s reputation can be ruined by the unkind or even slanderous words of others. That is why people should take into account the 4-way test of things we think, say, or do. For being truthful and fair to others, as well as upbuilding the relationships of of our peers and striving to benefit them, will grant people the opportunity to create a name that is finer than precious metals. To be sure, the 4-way test will prevent the tarnishing of reputations

Integrity is also very important. Having bad integrity could make you very non-trustworthy to others. Having good integrity would make you very trustworthy to others. Knowing how important they are, you should always have good or even better character, morals, and integrity.

Lack of proper career planning is attributed to poor performance of graduates. Moreover, lack of on-the-job training lead to poorly trained graduates who lack expertise to deliver in the expected industry. Therefore, a university graduate is expected to earn a degree that should translate to higher work opportunities and pay. For example, the rates of salaries range from $55,000 among engineering majors compared to 30,000 per year for majors in arts, education, and psychology.

Paving New Pathways will address CanTeen members, occupational transition from being a cancer patient into a cancer survivor. It also aims to address the occupational deprivation experienced, the forming of a new occupational identity and regaining occupational balance. Dyson, Thompson, Palmer, Thomas and Schofield (2011) and Zebrack (2011) acknowledged that experiencing cancer during this critical develomental stage had an impact on a number of areas of occupation. Futhermore Lewis et al. (2014) highlighted that those who survive youth cancer experience a number a difficulties with life that if unresolved will create barriers for future occupational engagement. With a 95% surival rate after one year and 87%-88% after five years, the post-treatment effects that cancer has on young people needs to be addressed (Lewis, Jordens, Mooney-Somers, Smith & Kerridge, 2013; Lewis et al. 2014).

II. Honesty is extremely important to enhance your credibility. Being honest is being transparent, having integrity and admitting when you are wrong. People trust what they can see. When you are open and honest, others don’t have to guess what your motivations or intentions are. You have to keep that in mind when you are interacting with your colleagues. You inspire trust when you talk openly about your values and goals. The Washington Post states, “Only 36% of employees believe their leaders operate with integrity and honesty” (Cox). That is a low statistics, so it is vital to be transparent and honest to increase credibility. Integrity is another way to show honesty. You have to think carefully

Going to school and getting your own life on track is a lot to handle and trying to do it all at once can be disastrous, because it’s easy to take on too much and to burn out and you could end up relapsing. In recovery you start to find out unpleasant things about yourself, and on the job is a not a good time

Ultimately, no matter how talented you might be as a performer, manager, technician or composer, the values you employ in your daily activities will either make people view you as a trusted resource or as someone who is unreliable, or worse, dishonest.

The impact of the 2010 Institute of Medicine (IOM) report on nursing education has outlined the need for nurses with higher degrees due to the changes required in caring for a more diversified population. In the 21st century, health care challenges have shifted dramatically. The population of America is older and by the year 2030 an estimated 20 percent of the population will be 65 and older. The change in cultures and socioeconomic factors has become more diverse and the need for new

The transition from student into the professional nursing role will be an intimidating yet exciting time fortunately I have a plan to make this transition as smooth as possible. I am seeking to be employed in the state of Florida in a pediatric facility. Luckily I have worked in Nicklaus Children’s Hospital previously known as Miami Children’s Hospital whom is one of the best children’s hospitals in the nation and plan on staying within the facility and relocating to a different department with the help of my current administrators. The hospital is located eight minutes away and is exactly 2.4 miles from my home, which is just an additional incentive to have me stay with them. If for whatever reason this does not fall through I am also interested in working in Joe DiMaggio Children’s Hospital. Although this hospital is 36 minutes away and 24.6 miles in distance I previously had the opportunity to go to the facility for clinical and find that it has a great atmosphere and is one of the leading pediatric hospitals.

In a society where everyone knows everyone, people are less likely to cause problems within the community they occupy in order to withhold their good reputation. In our society, one’s reputation is important for their everyday life; a reputation could either boost one’s name or completely destroy it.

I have nothing right now in my life that is holding me back from receiving my degree. Now I can focus on what need to be. I can get all my assignments in on time, and do all my homework in a timely manner. Also the fact that at CCU it’s different as to where at the last school you had to login three times a week, but now I don’t have to login three times I can just do everything that needs to be done in one day. That really works well with my work and at home schedule. With my new job I know my work schedule three weeks in advance, so I’ll be able to map out the day I can do my work with school, and I’ll be able to manage my work load. I will know what days and times I will set aside to get my school done, and homework, and when to study. By looking back in the past and knowing some of the things that held me back from receiving my degree I know what works for me and what don’t work for me. Now I will be more focus on what I have been trying to do which is my goal and that is to be one of the first one’s in my family to receive a

What does reputation and a high rise in New York have in common? The reputation of a person is like a ginormous skyscraper in New York. This skyscraper takes years to build, costs a ton of time, and once it is knocked down it is almost impossible to build back up. Something that defines a person’s actions and when it is lost, it is almost impossible to regan, is a reputation. A reputation is defined by, the beliefs or opinions that are generally held about someone or something. In my lifetime so far, I have built up my reputation, and so have you and the people around us. Reputation is a huge aspect of someone’s life, whether in real world or in the fictional world.

Professional socialization occurs when individuals are exposed to different socialization agents including clients, peers, faculty, healthcare professionals and family. The process of professional socialization is aimed at allowing individuals to communicate successfully. Students get the opportunity to learn diverse experiences by interacting with the agents, and this facilitates professional development. New graduate nurses have high turnover rates due to the gap in theory and practice and reality shock. Professional socialization decreases the tension and encourages adaptation during the transition period. The paper provides a summary of Feng and Tsai (2012) study, identifies the challenges I will face socializing into my new role (registered nurse) and strategies to facilitate socialization.

Ed Allen, an author of creative fiction and helpful nonfiction, supposedly wrote "To change is difficult; not to change is fatal" (Thinkexist, 2012), while another said ""Change is hard because people overestimate the value of what they have and underestimate the value of what they may gain by giving that up" (Leading Thoughts, 2012). These quotes grandly express the premise behind agency. Of course many other could be gathered, people are elegant with regard to the need for constant personal change which leads to growth, but they are not necessary to understand the concept. Agency, as described in the book The Mind at Work by Michael Rose, is the sense that a person can move forward and grow in their personal lives or help initiate growth in someone else. It is a striving to become something and make the world a better place than it would have been if the individual had not lived. Rose (2004, 186) says ""young people 地re realizing how important work will be in their lives, how it will frame who they are and what they can do in the world. They are desperate to be somebody, to possess agency and competence, to have a grasp on the forces that affect them." It is an interesting facet of this concept that a person does not have to willfully produce this effect they can be an unwitting agent as was George Bailey in It's a Wonderful Life but in general the individual sees a need and actively seeks to provide for it whether in their own life or
