This theory highlights meaning and transcendence in our lived experiences (Parse, 2014). In the idea behind meaning, individuals are encouraged to state their personal understanding of living and being and individual. Humans construct meaning through lived experiences. Likewise, nurse practitioners share responsibility along with patient in constructing meaning through their health care journeys. In the same way, results from these health experiences helps patients to transcend and go beyond the limits of their condition to understand more about themselves and realize the value of wellness. Lastly, the bible also encourages humans to come together as one. John 4:12 reminds us that if we love one another, God abides in us and his love is perfected in us. This is the essence of collaboration, and for this reason, the American health care system should continue to strive for

As a FQHC, LSCC’s mission is to provide care to underserved and uninsured residents of our service area. In Central Texas, people who lack health insurance are disproportionately poor and disproportionately racial/ethnic minorities. Because of this confluence of socioeconomic indicators, LSCC’s patient populations are more likely than other groups to experience health disparities which can negatively impact a patient’s life from the day he or she is born, through development, through adulthood, and up until the day he or she dies. Excess morbidity and early mortality are the indelible scars dealt by health disparities upon LSCC’s target populations. In light of this reality, LSCC must go beyond the mere provision of care to ensure that our

This quote demonstrates the book’s theme of perseverance because of its powerful motivation to overcome the pain and give it your all.

As everyone in life goes through tragic moments in life some of us have to pushed a little harder and have to straighten up in order to have successful life. At the end of the book they say a quote that I truly feel is correct “ Read these words, absorb their meanings, and create your own plan to act and leave a legacy” by Tavis

Serving these populations is much more than serving food but also considering each individual’s unique story in its entirety. Some may have a dark past, some suffer from addiction, and others lose faith. As a hospital volunteer, I also served patients by spending quality time and assisting their needs. By simply understanding their viewpoint, I influenced them to believe in hope for a greater future. I learned that to effectively provide care for others, it is necessary to consider all the small scenes that combine to produce each person’s story. Compassion and service toward my patients are the sole ingredients for effective

As an African American male who was diagnosed with end stage renal disease, I was a patient in need of financial assistance while on dialysis, a patient who needed to use Medicaid to help pay for medical expenses, and a patient that needed a healthcare provider to understand the amount of stress and anxiety I was under. My experience has given me a deeper understanding of what is needed to provide care to underserved communities. Underserved communities are in need of medical providers that are attuned to the social, emotional and economic disparities these patients encounter. For me, from a patient’s viewpoint, everyone deserves to be heard and served fairly. I will use my personal experiences to provide the underserved community in my career as a Nurse Practitioner, so that the underserved population can receive the best care

PART III: Analyze the impact for others in health and social care when an individual experiences significant life events (800 words maximum)

This quote comes from the famous abolitionist, writer ,and social reformer Fredrick Douglass. What Fredrick is saying is without the pursuit, perseverance and determination to accomplish something in life. A great example is the civil rights era when Martin Luther King was pushing the government to give equal rights to African Americans and through a great struggle his goal was met though it was after his death because of his perseverance African Americans have the same rights as white Americans. If he had quit on the movement African Americans would have continued to be disrespected and discriminated against. Martin Luther kings Perseverance is a testament to the Frederick Douglass quote in many aspects it really helps you to understand what

In reviewing the six principles of case management two of my strengths as a case manager are, the community is viewed as an oasis of resources, not as an obstacle, and Aggressive outreach is the preferred mode of intervention. I believe that our clients have a right to the societal resources they need. Many times people blame the communities for lack of services and resources, but every community has resources available to everyone. The communities also blame the people for not taking advantage of the services and resources available to them. My

After the Court`s decision, Gideon was appointed an attorney and acquitted after an hour long deliberation by the jury. Many people were released and retried based on Gideon`s decision. The Court had a great intent and vision that the right to counsel is required at all critical stages of the justice process. However, recent studies have displayed that public defenders and court appointed lawyers are disproportionately underfunded compared to private attorneys. Public defenders experience a great workload having multiple court appearances a day, and on average spending only 7 minutes to prepare and review for the trial. This data shows that indigent defendants are not represented properly in the court of law and it forces the accused to plea

Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) provided coverage to Americans since 1966 but has officially established their own agency in 1977. They help regulate and set standards for the healthcare industry by being a part of the United States Department of Health and Human Services. CMS manages Medicare, Medicaid, Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP), and the health insurance marketplace. It can be described as a “High-quality health care system that ensures better access to coverage and improved health for all Americans” (CMS). As this states, their goal is to strengthen and modernize the nation’s health care system to ensure access and improve health for the public. They currently have ten regional offices that are state and

It states the difficulties in the senior homes with little staff and the many complaints received. The complaints are said to be hard to distinguish between serious complaints or just small problems. An example was given like Nancy Hardman who stated that she is removing her mother from the nursing home because it is dangerous and unhealthy to live in.

I realize that the most capable physicians can heal because they have been sick and are able to fix because of their own brokenness. In other words, adversity builds character and changes people for the better. In my case, my disadvantaged upbringing has made me a better person, son, father and potentially a better public servant. After my parents divorced in 2000, my mother and I moved to Little Rock, Arkansas where we struggled to get by. Enduring that hardship with her changed me from an early age. Some nights I stayed at my best friend’s apartment, because we had no electricity. In a sense, this deprivation allowed me to mature and understand that in life you must sacrifice for a larger
