Evolution of Nurse Educators

Evolution of Nurse Educators

What were the skills required of nurse educators yesterday, what are they today, and what will they be tomorrow?

Though nursing has long been a forward-thinking profession, there is much value in looking to the past to better build for the future. Examining societal, political, and global trends allows nurse educators to develop programs that will meet the needs of their future learners. In addition, taking time to consider the volatility of the economic landscape, as well as the swift changes brought on by technology and medical informatics, nurse educators can better prepare themselves to teach students, staff, and patients.

In this Discussion, you creatively and critically explore the evolution of nursing education and thus the evolving role of the nurse educator.

 

To prepare:

·         Review Chapter 1, “History of Nursing Education in the United States” in the Keating course text. How has the nursing profession evolved in response to societal, economic, political, and technological factors? How has this evolution directly impacted the role of the nurse educator?

·         Review Chapter 20, “Issues and Challenges for Nurse Educators” also in the Keating text. Consider how the issues and challenges of today’s nurse educators differ from those of past nursing educators. Then, imagine the issues and challenges that might arise for tomorrow’s nurse educators in both clinical and academic settings.

·         Explore the website “Creative Writing Now” to review the parameters for writing a haiku. With this information in mind, write a haiku using the following questions as a guide:

o    If the first line of the haiku represented the roles of past nurse educators, what five-syllable description would you create?

o    If the second line represented the roles of today’s nurse educators, what seven-syllable description would you create?

o    If the third line represented the roles of tomorrow’s nurse educators, what five-syllable description would you create?

 

Questions to be addressed in my paper:

 

1.      An original haiku that portrays your perspective on the evolving role of nurse educators.

2.      Provide rationale for each line of your poem by citing examples related to the changing landscape of nursing education.

3.      Summary with Conclusion

 

 

REMINDERS:

1)      1-2 pages (addressing the 3 questions above excluding the title page and reference page).

2)      Kindly follow APA format for the citation and references! References should be between the period of 2011 and 2016. Please utilize the references at least three below as much as possible and the rest from yours.

3)     Make headings for each question.

Having recently applied for a contract specialist position at T&G Consulting, you have been invited in for an interview. The job requires a thorough knowledge of Article 2 – Sales, of the Uniform Commercial Code. Some of your potential future coworkers are given the opportunity to meet with you and wish to test your knowledge.

Part 1: The first of your coworkers is explaining to you the importance of understanding the regional business landscape in order to be prepared when new potential clients inquire about a contract for the sale of goods. She shows you a sample contract for the sale of goods.

Review the contract for provisions that relate to Article 2 of the UCC. Identify the specific provisions, and explain how they pertain to Article 2 of the UCC. In your discussion, demonstrate your knowledge of:

statute of frauds
parol evidence
warranties (implied and express)
Part 2: You are now working on a new transaction. You have reviewed a proposed Business Bill of Sale agreement that your client (the seller) has presented.The proposed contract contemplates the sale of “all of the assets, property, rights and interests” of the business, “of every kind and description, tangible or intangible.” Compose an email to your client explaining what kind(s) of property would fall within Article 2 of the UCC. Identify other items involved in the sale of the business that would not fall within Article 2. This library resource offers help with writing a professional email.

Part 3: The Business Bill of Sale agreement contains language that the seller does “covenant and warrant that it has free and clear title to the property conveyed hereunder…” and that the property is “free and clear of all encumbrances whatsoever.” What provision of Article 2 would be applicable to this warranty, and what kind or kinds of property would fall within this provision?
