It also lets the worker know what they can say if any of their worker rights are being violated, furthermore this website expands on your rights, and what is safe to do and what is not safe to do and how you can tell if it is safe or not. Also it lets the user know what their duty as a worker is and what they can or cannot do.

Diane Rawlinson applied to be a correctional counselor in Alabama in 1977, but her application was rejected due to her not meeting the statutory minimum weight requirement of one hundred-twenty pounds (Yiyang, 2012). Rawlinson submitted evidence exposing that Alabama’s height and weight standards would dismiss forty percent of the female population nationwide but less than one percent of the male population (Yiyang, 2012). The Supreme Court ruled in favor of Rawlinson citing there is sufficient evidence to support the statutory requirements had a disparate impact on female applicants (Yiyang, 2012). The defense argued that the imposed height and weight standards were strength related, but the courts refuted that argument due to inadequate
J.W. first began her nursing career after she graduated from Truman State University with a BSN. She then went back to school at Webster University and graduated with a master’s degree in both health services management and nursing. After working in clinical positions for many years, she decided to return to school one last time to obtain her EED in higher education leadership from Lindenwood University. After her graduation from Truman and Webster, she began working on a medical surgical floor and mostly conducted surgeries on hips and shoulders. She did that for about nine months, but decided to switch since her work was very physically demanding.

Reynolds at Baylor Scott & White Health. Furthermore, my past colleague was surprised to hear that she made an impact in my life on wanting to pursue a role as an educator, not to mention, Mrs. Reynolds held a position as a Regional Professional Education Development Specialist at Baylor Scott & White for the past two years. Moreover, Sherry continued to emphasize on how the facility was distinguished as one of the highest nationally recognized awarded hospitals for excellence in clinical nursing care (S. Reynolds, personal communication, April 16, 2018). To illustrate, nurse educators promote inquisitiveness in the learner which allows an invitation for growth leading towards opportune measures for staff to build a strong foundation in their current healthcare practice. Sherry continues to add, more importantly, mentoring clinical staff nurtures the individual to strive to diligently administer care towards patients in a holistic, compassionate approach, while placing emphasis on safety quality outcomes (S. Reynold, personal communication, April 16, 2018). Furthermore, I was invited to stay most of the day to shadow the nurse educator at her place of employment, granted my expectations were just to have a quick visit then head back home to San Antonio, but turned out to be an enlightening, interactive, day in the life of an educator in a clinical healthcare
