We comprise the largest number of health professionals. In an age of health care reform and a worsening nursing shortage, the role of the nurse will be more important than ever before. As people in our society ask for comprehensive health services, nursing is assuming an increasingly important and complex role. Nurse professionals are members of inter-disciplinary teams in clinics, hospitals, long- term care, and community settings. Nurse practitioners are filling critical health care needs in both urban and rural settings for portions of the population who do not have adequate health care options. The future possibilities for nurses in the health care field are limitless. At Olympic College, we are prepared to meet the needs of the community. Our RN-BSN Program is designed to meet the rapid changes in health care and a diverse society. We offer quality education emphasizing analytic reasoning and caring. We graduate competent, professional nurses who excel in all facets of health care. You will have many opportunities to study and work with people in a variety of settings such as community health agencies and clinics. You will have the opportunity to be an active participant in sharing responsibilities for your own learning needs and evaluation of your progress. Earning a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) degree will provide multiple benefits to the associate degree registered nurse and the greater health care community. Completing a BSN degree will: • Facilitate a broader scope of practice as a result of enhanced clinical reasoning and analytic skills; • Enhance leadership skills; • Educate nurses in issues surrounding community health, health care delivery systems and health care policy; • Develop understanding and participation in research methods leading to evidence-based practice; • Enhance health care delivery and health promotion for clients and communities BSN nurses serve. We are glad that you chose to complete your baccalaureate degree in nursing at Olympic College. We hope that you have a rewarding and satisfying experience with us, and wish you much success during your course of study as well as in your future profession.

    Scrubs(series) - The Free Online Dictionary and Encyclopedia (TFODE) 11/21/13 7:56 AM Scrubs(series) - 2 results found: Wikipedia, twitter Pronunciation - English Wikipedia Scrubs (TV series) From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Redirected from Scrubs(series)) Scrubs is an American medical comedy-drama television series created by Bill Lawrence that aired from October 2, 2001 to March 17, 2010 on NBC and later ABC. The series follows the lives of employees at the fictional Sacred Heart teaching hospital. The title is a play on surgical scrubs and a term for a low-ranking person because at the beginning of the series, most of the main characters were medical interns. The series features fast-paced screenplay, slapstick, and surreal vignettes presented mostly as the daydreams of the central character, Dr. John "J.D." Dorian, who is played by Zach Braff. Actors starring alongside Braff in the first eight seasons included Sarah Chalke Donald Faison, Neil Flynn, Ken Jenkins, John C. McGinley, and Judy Reyes. The series has also featured multiple guest appearances by film actors, such as Brendan Fraser, Heather Graham, and Colin Farrell. In the ninth season, many new cast members were introduced and the show setting moved from a hospital to a medical school. Out of the original cast, only Braff, Faison and McGinley became regular cast members while the others, with the exception of Reyes, made guest appearances. Braff appeared in six episodes of the ninth season before departing. Kerry Bishé, Eliza Coupe, Dave Franco, and Mosley became series regulars with Bishé becoming the show's new narrator.

Phalen August 2013 © 2013 Steven P. Phalen. All Rights Reserved. This dissertation titled The Gathering Place: Musical Expressions of Self and Community within a Non-Profit, Community Mental Health Drop-In Center by STEVEN P. PHALEN has been approved for the School of Communication Studies and the Scripps College of Communication by William K. Rawlins Stocker Professor of Communication Studies Scott Titsworth Dean, Scripps College of Communication ii ABSTRACT PHALEN, STEVEN P., Ph.D., August 2013, Communication Studies The Gathering Place: Musical Expressions of Self and Community within a Non-Profit, Community Mental Health Drop-In Center Director of Dissertation: William K. Rawlins The Gathering Place opened its doors in 1976 to ex-patients of the Athens Mental Health Center largely through the dedicated efforts of community mental health activist Rita Gillick. Operating according to the clubhouse model of psychosocial rehabilitation, The GP provides a home/family-like environment for its members while providing them with opportunities to develop vocational and social skills necessary for independent and meaningful in the community living. This dissertation is an ethnographic rendering of my three years of involvement with The Gathering Place as a volunteer, musician, advocate, and eventually friend. I share particularly my experiences making music with the members during the collaborative jam session known as GP Jams and the music therapy programs sponsored by the organization.

  • Emotional Intelligence
    Emotional Intelligence Learning Objectives The participants will be able to: Recognize and discuss the four foundational areas of emotional intelligence Explain the personal and professional benefits of emotional intelligence Discover areas of opportunity for growth in emotional intelligence Anyone can get angry — that is easy. But to do this to the right person, to the right extent, at the right time, with the right motive, and in the right way, that is not for everyone, nor is it easy. (II.1109a27) Aristotle Nicomachean Ethics (c. 325 BC) 1 Definitions: 1. “Emotional intelligence is your ability to recognize and understand emotions in yourself and others, and your ability to use this awareness to manage your behavior and relationships” (Bradberry & Greaves, 2009). 2. “Emotional Intelligence refers to the capacity for recognizing our own feelings and those of others, for motivating ourselves, and for managing emotions well in ourselves and in our relationships” (Goleman, 1998). 3. “Being able to monitor and regulate one’s own and others’ feelings, and to use feelings to guide thought and action” (Salovey & Mayer, 1990). Why Should I Care About EI? Business Case: Job success Increased productivity Lowers turnover Reduction in grievances Reduction in time-loss accidents Personal Case In one study, only 36% of people could accurately identify their emotions as they happen EQ accounts for 58% of performance in all types of jobs. Single biggest predictor of performance in the workplace Strongest driver of leadership and personal excellence People with high EQ’s make more money - $29,000 a year Let's not forget that the little emotions are the great captains of our lives and we obey them without realizing it.

  • Tv Land Gets Its “Scrubs” on and Goes on Rounds During a Labor Day Marathon on Monday, September 1
    TV LAND GETS ITS “SCRUBS” ON AND GOES ON ROUNDS DURING A LABOR DAY MARATHON ON MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 1 New York, NY, August 25, 2008 - TV Land’s got just what the doctor ordered with a prescription sure to tickle the funny bone when “Scrubs” premieres on Labor Day with a 7-hour marathon on Monday, September 1. Join J.D., Turk, Elliot, Carla, Dr. Cox and the entire Sacred Heart Hospital staff beginning at 4 p.m. (ET/PT) as they heal patients, mend broken hearts and keep viewers in stitches. “Scrubs” joins TV Land’s line-up in its regularly scheduled timeslot of 9:00 p.m. (ET/PT) from Monday to Friday beginning Tuesday, September 2. “‘Scrubs’ is the perfect contemporary acquisition for TV Land as the network continues to grow as the ultimate entertainment network for people in their 40s and 50s,” states Larry W. Jones, president, TV Land. “Zach Braff, Sarah Chalke, Donald Faison and the entire cast is at their comedic best and their neurotic and side-splitting antics keep viewers laughing all night long. The quick-wit and humor of this series definitely appeals to our audience, and it is precisely the reason why TV Land voted it the winner of the 2001 Future Classic Award.” “Scrubs” follows the dynamic daily routines and bizarre happenings of the Sacred Heart hospital staff. Having premiered in October 2001, the series continues to be a prime time network hit as John “J.D.” Dorian (Zach Braff) narrates the everyday personal and professional challenges that he and surgical intern and college buddy Chris Turk (Donald Faison) and the ambitious yet quirky intern Elliot Reid (Sarah Chalke) face.

  • NO FUN LEAGUE Andrew Zeer
    NO FUN LEAGUE Andrew Zeer 1 ACT I 2 Scene 1 Harper University Hospital in Detroit, Michigan in the late afternoon on December 28, 2008. Inside one of the suites, Patricia and David Buick sit beside Earl Buick as he lies in the hospital bed. All three are focused on a flickering old TV suspended from the ceiling in the corner of the room. SPORTS BROADCASTER VIA TELEVISION And there it is folks, you have just witnessed sports history. For the first time ever, an NFL franchise has finally gone 0 and 16. For the first time ever, a professional sports team has gone an entire season without winning a single game. And what team more suited for this prestigious accomplishment than the Detroit Wildcats: a team that has lost more games in the last 10 seasons than any other franchise in the NFL; a team that has gone through more head coaches in the last decade than most teams would see in their entire history; a team that has not been to the playoffs since George Bush, Sr. was president. The only good news is that most of Detroit couldn’t see this atrocious season finale because the game was blacked out due to lack of attendance. EARL BUICK For the love of God would you turn that off! It’s bad enough I’m dying here, can you spare me the suffering?! Earl begins to cough intensely and Patricia reaches over, with a worried look, to hand him a glass of water I’m fine, just leave me alone! PATRICIA BUICK Earl, sweetie, you have to relax.
