Nursing Shortage2

Nursing Shortage2

(Nursing Shortage2)

The nursing shortage is a critical issue impacting healthcare systems globally. It refers to the insufficient number of nurses available to meet the demand for patient care services. Several factors contribute to this shortage.

Firstly, there is an aging population requiring more healthcare services, which increases demand. Secondly, the aging nursing workforce is retiring, leading to a loss of experienced professionals. Additionally, inadequate staffing ratios and heavy workloads contribute to burnout and job dissatisfaction among nurses, causing many to leave the profession.

The shortage has profound implications for patient care quality and safety. Overworked nurses may struggle to provide optimal care, leading to increased medical errors and compromised patient outcomes. Furthermore, the shortage creates challenges in meeting healthcare needs during emergencies and pandemics.

Addressing the nursing shortage requires comprehensive strategies. This includes increasing nursing education capacity to produce more graduates, implementing policies to improve nurse retention, offering competitive salaries and benefits, and creating supportive work environments. Collaboration between healthcare organizations, educational institutions, and policymakers is essential to effectively tackle this issue and ensure adequate nursing care for all.

Navigating Abortion Policy Complexities

Navigating Abortion Policy Complexities

(Navigating Abortion Policy Complexities)

1) Abortion, the interminable debate

Abortion, The Interminable Debate Also Abortion, The Catholic Argument, And As A Structure…

Contrary to what some believe, abortion policy does not vary just a little from state in the U.S.; it is not ‘legal’ or ‘illegal’ in a simple fashion.  Most people assume, for instance, that if a woman is 3 weeks late on her menstrual cycle, then she can terminate her pregnancy…because abortion is legal, after all….isn’t it?  But is she happens to live in North Dakota, she’s one week too late: the state house passed a law last year prohibiting any abortion 6 weeks or more after a woman’s last menstrual cycle.  And many of us were dismayed by the tastelessness and crassness of a debate between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump last year, when Trump claimed that Hillary’s position (and by implication, the ‘pro-choice position generally) was that, “even on the operating table,” if a woman came in to deliver her baby, “she could change her mind at the last second,” and have an abortion.  He painted a truly vivid picture: of a basinet and a nurse waiting to care for the newborn on the left, and an doctor with a scalpel and a plastic bag on the right, and the woman in the middle of labour, still able to decide whether or not she will abort or give birth.  Pro-choice folks everywhere were quick to point out the next day that this literally never (as in we have no specific cases) has happened, but they were wrong about one thing: 9 states, including Alaska and Mississippi, have no restrictions whatsoever on when a pregnancy can be terminated.  As tasteless as Trump’s debate strategy may have been, it is theoretically possible in these states to abort in the late third trimester.  This New York Times graphic breaks down U.S. abortion laws by state; it’s a bit dated, being from 4.5 years ago, but it’s the only source I found that puts it all in one easy-to-read graph:

http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2013/06/18/us/politics/abortion-restrictions.html (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site.

Question: is anyone surprised to find out that in some parts of America you can have an abortion at 9 months, and in other places are restricted at just 6 weeks?  This is because the famous Roe vs. Wade supreme court decision specified 24 weeks, and thus every state, depending on it’s politics, tends to push the restriction backwards and forwards.

At the heart of this debate are two completely deductively valid arguments.  On the pro-choice side, there is this one:

Premise 1: All women should have the right to make decisions regarding their own body, including medical procedures.

Premise 2: Whether or not to carry a pregnancy to term is a medical decision about a woman’s body, and thus it should be made by her and her alone.

Premise 3: Access to legal and safe pregnancy termination is obviously essential for a woman to be able to make decisions about whether or not to carry a pregnancy to term.

Conclusion:  Abortion must be safe and legal, or else we are violating women’s rights.

As covered in the first unit, in a deductive argument, if the premises are true, then the conclusion must be true.  If one were to disagree with the above argument, Premise 2 is clearly the one that the average Pro-life position disagrees with, as we see in their own deductively valid argument:

Premise 1: All people are equal under the law, entitled to not have their basic rights violated.

Premise 2: A fetus is a person.(Navigating Abortion Policy Complexities)

Premise 3: An abortion terminates a fetus’ life, and thus is a violation of it’s basic rights.

Conclusion: Abortion violates the rights of the unborn child, AKA fetus, and thus should be legal.

This debate is, as presented here, unsolvable.  There are 4 short readings for this unit, two pro-choice and two pro-life.  We have basically different philosophical premises.  Question: how might, in theory, science weigh in on this debate?  Thus far, the primary way it has weighed in is to designate 24 to 26 weeks as the time when most fetsuses can survive outside the womb (with an incubator), and thus about half of U.S. states prohibit abortion after this time.  It has been suggested that perhaps cranial activity or a heartbeat could designate the start of life, but this, of course, happens at different times for different pregnancies.

In the readings, Peter Singer argues that from a utilitarian perspective, we should all obviously be Pro-choice, because in terms of human suffering, the suffering of the unborn child is not as significant as the millions of women, all adults with lives, families, hopes and dreams, who would die attempting to undergo illegal abortions.  Indeed, without language, without any sense of what he or she wants, even a most developed third trimester fetus, at 8 months, arguably doesn’t suffer much in simply not being allowed to live at all.  Many would argue that abortion is simply a fact of feminism, in some sense: every society that has a concerted movement for women’s equality and women’s rights has legalized abortion.

This would be my question to the pro-life side: What do you want?  If what you want is a modern, secular (meaning separatin of church and state) country, where abortion just happens to be illegal because at least 51% of people think it should be, can you not see that that has never exited, and for good reason?  We cannot change biology; we cannot change human sexuality.  Many women would argue that if you want to allow women equal access to politics, careers, money, and power, the ability to choose whether or not to be pregnant is simply part of that process.

To the pro-choice side, I would ask this: how exactly do we decide when, as a pregnancy develops, to restrict access to abortion?  Surely there is a difference between taking the morning after pill, and aborting at 8.5 months, when the fetus probably would not even require an incubator to survive, but in it’s most extreme form, pro-choicers advocate for the right to abortion at any point in the pregnancy.  Surely we are all smart enough to understand the philosophical position, even we disagree, that terminating a pregnancy in the third trimester is not a medical decision that involves only the woman’s body.  How do we decide when another body is involved?

The real question is truly this: in a society where this argument will continue, and we will each develop our own sense of right and wrong regarding it, how do we make the laws?

2) Abortion, the Catholic argument, as a structure…(Navigating Abortion Policy Complexities)

A very conservative Catholic friend of mine introduced me to a style of argument regarding abortion that fascinated me.  It is basically thus:

Premise 1: The abortion debate is interminable.  It is a valid philosophical belief, widespread and no-doubt persistent, that life begins at birth, that a pregnancy is essentially a medical condition, and thus abortion should be legal.  It is equally philosophically valid to believe, however, that life begins at conception, which leads to the opposite conclusion.  Indeed, every single scientific attempt to create consensus around when, in the middle, life begins, has failed.

Premise 2: When democracies contain large constituencies that have an unsolvable philosophical disagreement, where no compromise is possible, the right thing to do is to put it to a vote.

Conclusion: We should allow states, and possibly even counties and cities, to vote on their own abortion policy.

That’s not a bad argument.

This is a fascinating strategy: he’s basically saying, “We’re not right, you’re not right; none of us will change out minds.  Therefore, let’s just vote on it.”  Instead, the supreme court decided.

For the pro-choice side, access to abortion has taken on a moral weight similar to the end of racial segregation.  Many southern U.S. states had populations that, if they were allowed to vote on it, would have preferred to have kept racial segregation, but the federal government said no: segregated schools, parks, and other public institutions is so wrong, that it simply doesn’t matter whether most people in a given state want it back: they’re not allowed to.

If this Catholic argument won the day, at least 20 U.S. states would probably outlaw abortion tomorrow.  What might be some other issues where this style of thinking–that Democracy doesn’t work, because smaller communities might do something too wrong for the country to allow–exists?  What are issues where we shouldn’t vote, because ‘the people’ are just too unpredictable?  How do we decide which issues to pick and choose?  Are there any that should be rolled back, in your opinion; in other words, are there issues where you think that a city, state, or county ought to be allowed to make it’s own policy?(Navigating Abortion Policy Complexities)

A few suggestions: gun control; Texas already has armed teachers in 170 school districts; should states be allowed to set their own ‘armed teacher’ policy, or should the country decide for everyone?  Nutrition: should cities be allowed to try radical solutions to health problems, such as banning all sugary sodas?  Screen time: Should cities or counties be allowed to restrict, or even ban, portable electronic devices in order to create their own desired type of society?  Smoking: should this one be rolled back, perhaps?  Right now, even a small bar, run by smokers who exclusively employ smokers as bartenders and tend to attract smokers as clients, is not allowed to allow smoking inside their bar.

What are your own issues?  How radical should we allow local municipalities to be?

Understanding Terror: Models & Countermeasures

Understanding Terror: Models & Countermeasures

(Understanding Terror: Models & Countermeasures)

Assignment Instructions

A fundamental issue established at the outset of this course is the fact that becoming involved in terrorist activities is a process, where numerous factors can affect the mindset and actions of an individual. We have covered many of these issues and influences, so concerning this matter, compare and contrast at least two different radicalization models that explain terrorist motivations in a 4 page paper. In this research paper also summarize behavioral and psychological factors associated with disengaging from terrorism and describe what efforts or programs are most effective in countering radicalization and why.

Recommended Source: King, M. and Taylor, D. M. (2011). The Radicalization of Homegrown Jihadists: A Review of Theoretical Models and Social Psychological EvidenceTerrorism & Political Violence, 23(4), 602-618. You should start with this article and then use other sources as well to make sure you hit the 8 expected scholarly references for this research paper.

Assignment Specifics:

  • The body of your report is to be at least FOUR FULL pages in length (not counting title page and references) and is to contain the following:
  • A brief introduction, with the topic and your thesis
  • A main body, containing the “meat” of the paper, where you provide the requested information supported by class readings and with your analysis
  • A conclusion, summarizing your information clearly and concisely

Make sure you read the instructions carefully and that you focus your paper on answering the assigned questions. This assignment is a research paper, not an opinion paper, so you need to use scholarly sources to support your thesis.  Use formal academic writing and do not use the first person such as ‘I’ or ‘my’; see the OWL site on academic writing style. Make sure you use APA style in-text parenthetical citations at the end of every sentence where you are quoting another’s ideas (or any information) that is not your own thoughts and words, like this (Bergen, 2015, para. 14). Citations are required for paraphrases as well, but not the page or paragraph number in that case. I highly recommend you use the APUS writing guide which can be found in the university library or at this link: APUS Research Writing and Style Guide. You are welcome to use supplementary sources to compliment the assigned readings based upon your research, but make sure you use only scholarly and credible sources (do not use open websites and you never want to use wikipedia for a college level paper). Also, dictionaries and encyclopedias as well as general news sites (like CNN, FOX News) are not appropriate for college level research papers. You need to use mainly scholarly and reputable academic books and journal articles. Also, see the APUS Library Homeland Security Program Guide for good sources, as well as the APUS Research Primer and the APUS Library Research FAQs.

Requirements:

  • Written according to the APA style and format (parenthetical in-text citation formats only; not end notes or footnotes);
  • Use Times New Roman 12 point font;
  • 1 inch margins on all sides with no paragraph indentation other than the first line by .5 inches
  • Double space all text (no extra lines or spaces after a paragraph or section headings and no added font sizes or lines either)
  • A respectable number of credible resources used, cited in the paper as in-text citations, and included on the reference page. A good rule of thumb is at least 2 scholarly sources per page of content (a minimum of 2 new scholarly sources per page in a research paper is acceptable). Use those academic and credible sources provided to you throughout the course, as well as other scholarly material obtained from conducting your own research. Freely utilize appropriate and reputable academic sources, summarize in your own words and cite accordingly.
  • The paper must be free of typographical, spelling and grammatical errors (make sure to proof read before submission)
  • Turn your paper in as a Word Document and title your assignment “Lastname_Final

Finally, be mindful of excessive direct quotes as the paper should not contain just a string of quotations from sources. Make sure you comply with all academic integrity standards expected by APUS and as slide 14 of the APUS Academic Integrity presentation posted in course syllabus (and the week 1 introduction forum) states “Quotes cannot make up more than 10% of the text of your assignment.” So paraphrase where you can and provide your own analysis and synthesis of your research (direct quotes only when necessary to support your thesis). The bottom line for academic integrity is to write an original work for this assignment (not copied from anywhere on the internet or recycled content from your own previous papers) and to properly cite your references.

For weeks 1-4, you will be participating in small group discussion, making project decisions as a team but completing individual assignment. Each student will have the option of sharing components of their assignment with other team members. However, you are not required to do so and may opt to work individually. Even if you decide to share components with others, you must submit individual deliverables at the end of each unit.

In week 5 you will complete the new sections, make all suggested modification based on your instructor’s feedback and add additional input from group member’s feedback and additional discussion. You will then combine all previous weekly submissions and submit your final project deliverable.
