vascular surgery has been indirect. Although I initially considered a career in dermatology, I ultimately realized that the field did not match well with my high energy level, my ability to make prompt medical decisions and the joy I received from solving acute medical problems. A career in surgery would offer me the most personal and professional satisfaction, and therefore I made the decision to pursue a one-year surgical internship to confirm and define my specific interests in surgery. Before
are 5 basic values in the Care Value Base that are set up to care for patients in an appropriate way. One example of the Care Value Base in a GP surgery is Effective Communication. There are a variety of techniques
I found interest in the healthcare field after having speech therapy as a young child. I wanted to go into speech pathology when I first looked into the healthcare field.

I have learned from personal experience that seeing your loved ones in the hospital is not something that should

and future patient outcomes, system performances, and professional developments, healthcare facilities rely on quality improvement (QI) to identify and address changes needed to reach healthcare goals (Batalden & Davidoff, 2007). The purpose of this paper is to identify a practice improvement issue and demonstrate knowledge of key components of QI through change theory. Practice Issue The lack of tobacco cessation follow-up is a practice issue identified within a local health care facility. Tobacco
However, Amundsen was the first man to reach the south pole. He has also done several historic explorations during his lifetime. For this paper, I will narrow it down to only focus on his most known expedition to the south pole that he led and also bring up a close friend from Norway that did the exact same thing as Amundsen, just 100 years later and compare them. In 1910, after many years
In order to encourage the use of safeguards, I needed to do more research on medication infusion pumps, what can go wrong with infusion pumps, and the implications for nurse leaders in addressing medication errors when smart infusion pumps are used. In my research I learned that IV infusions are associated with 54% of potential adverse drug events, 56% of medication errors, and 61% of serious and life-threatening
The Civil War was a time of incredible advancements in the field of medicine and surgery. From battlefield amputations to anesthetics, nearly every aspect of the medical field that is known today holds roots from the time period. The fast pace of battle forced surgeons, doctors and medical officials to work faster than their hands would permit, in order to preserve the lives of those soldiers ailed by the epidemic of war. However, similar to limbs growing too fast and creating a weak support for

Few refactoring result might be in poor software quality and delayed refactorings may incur higher refactoring cost. In this paper a monitor-based instant refactoring framework proposed and it is mainly used to drive inexperienced software engineers to conduct more refactorings promptly. 5.12.
