in her system and the couch was too comfortable to leave. Her best bet was to get some sleep so mother didn't find out she stayed up too late doing nonsense. Curling up into a ball alongside Dorris, her eyes immediately closed up and she fell into a deep, peaceful sleep.

before yourself. The moment a mother holds their child for the first time there is an automatic bond. The bond that will last till the mother’s last breath. No matter what a child looks, says, or do at the end of the day that is their child. A mother has had 9 months of having their child grow in their womb.

The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (2013) reports, “The U.S. healthcare system suffers from a chronic malady—the revolving door syndrome at its hospitals.” Currently, one of the many challenges hospitals face are increasing readmission rates. Various factors could contribute to the issue at hand. In this paper, the effectiveness of discharge planning will be explored to compare the efficiency of actual practice versus evidence-based practice research.

It has been a hard fought game, and we are all tired and bruised. One of my teammates gets the ball and I am running right beside her. She gets tackled and passes me the ball.
