In nursing there are several paths that lead to obtaining a license and becoming a member of the profession. In this class some have obtained a license either as a licensed practical nurse (LPN) or a registered nurse (RN) through the traditional nursing program or diploma program.
It has been believed in the past that a nurse is a nurse is a nurse because even though nurses were prepared in different programs that varied in length and content graduates of the programs were all called nurse.
Do you feel that nurses who initially graduate from Baccalaureate programs are better prepared to provide care to patients than those who graduate from diploma or traditional nursing degree programs?
What do you think is driving the push for the Baccalaureate degree in the nursing profession?
Where do you go from here? As nursing and nurses have become more autonomous and independent is it enough to have a Baccalaureate degree?
Think about how the educational requirements of the nursing profession compare with other professions such as therapists for example.

150 word minimum for question #1 ONLY. Any materials used in answering the questions must be put in your own words and the reference(s) must be properly cited.
According to some scientists, in developing countries, the impact of human population growth can be related to many environmental problems. Soil erosion and loss of biodiversity due to people moving on to previously unfarmed land are very severe in many developing countries. Air pollution in the cities of many developing countries exceeds internationally recognized standards. Between the use of outdated technology and financial inability to maintain a well-tuned car, many automobiles in the developing world are severe polluters.
Water pollution is mainly a problem due to nutrient loading. The quantity of energy used per person in the developed world is small when compared to the quantity used per person in the under developed world.
Pretend you are a world top human population consultant and major city development planner. Undeveloped country, Country X, is under reform. Your job is to research Country X’s population and serve on a team to redevelop Country X’s most populated areas. Which of the above environmental problems would you address first? Why? Describe your plan.
