Understanding the general financial status of his or her organization can help the nurse manager to better focus his or her department’s efforts to promote the overall organizational goals. Additionally, if the nurse manager wants to become part of the decision-making processes within the organization, it is absolutely necessary for her or him to be able to interpret and analyze information about the financial status of the organization.

Write a 3–4-page financial viability paper.

Cover the following:

• Identify the key financial statements and describe how they are used within the healthcare organization.
• Describe the techniques for interpretation and analysis of financial statements, such as cash flow statements, statements of changes in net assets, common ratios and examples of ratio analyses, and the role of notes in financial statements.
• Examine ratio analysis of financial statements.
• Explain management reports.
• Examine the implications of a financial statement analysis for nurse managers.

On a separate page, cite all sources using the APA format.

Chris Starr (RN, BSN, CEN), the charge nurse in a very busy Emergency Department, was exhausted at the end of a 12-hour shift. Sixty-six patients had been triaged, assessed, cared for, counseled, educated, admitted, transferred, and/or discharged. One patient died. Some of the nursing responsibilities/ behaviors carried out by Chris on this shift included the following:

1. Took/gave shift report every 4 hours.
   b. Assigned staff to patient care responsibilities.
   c. Assigned staff to non-nursing responsibilities such as ordering supplies, room checks, and testing emergency equipment.
   d. Oriented two new medical students to department protocols and expectations.
   e. Requested assistance from the shift supervisor to obtain ICU beds for two critical patients.
   f. Called the children’s protective agency to request emergency placement for three abandoned children brought in by the police.
   g. Yelled over the phone at a newspaper reporter who insisted on obtaining details of a recent accident.
   h. Assisted a staff nurse to support very distressed family members whose older adult parent had just died.
   i. Talked to the coroner for 10 minutes by phone.
   j. Cared for four patients whose nurse left for a dinner break.
   k. Assisted three staff members who were restraining an out-of-control, intoxicated patient.
   l. Intervened between a staff nurse and a physician who disagreed about a patient care issue.
   m. Promised to talk privately to an angry unit secretary later in the shift if time allows.
   n. Gathered all staff together at 11 PM to thank them for their hard work and good care.

Visualize this nurse, and write your description of this nurse.  What does Chris look like? How does Chris speak to people? What values does Chris embody? What influential person in your life does Chris remind you of?

Overview

This week’s readings deal with the foundations of transcultural nursing. In your Module 1 paper, you will address the following questions after reviewing chapter 1, 2, and 4 in your textbook:

1. Identify and discuss the 8 reasons why transcultural nursing is a necessary specialty, according to Madeleine Leininger (page 6).
2. In your own words, describe the meaning of cultural diversity. Then relate its relationship to the field of nursing.
3. In your own words, explain three ways that you provide culturally sensitive care to your patients.

References

Minimum of four (4) total references: two (2) references from required course materials and two (2) peer-reviewed references. All references must be no older than five years (unless making a specific point using a seminal piece of information)

Required course materials:

Transcultural Concepts in Nursing Care, Joyceen S. Boyle & Margaret M. Andrews, (2015), 7th edition.

Provide doi for all journals

Peer-reviewed references include references from professional data bases such as PubMed or CINHAL applicable to population and practice area, along with evidence based clinical practice guidelines. Examples of unacceptable references are Wikipedia, UpToDate, Epocrates, Medscape, WebMD, hospital organizations, insurance recommendations, & secondary clinical databases.

Style

APA 6th edition formatting, citations and references.

Number of Pages/Words

Unless otherwise specified all papers should have a minimum of 600 words (approximately 2.5 pages) excluding the title and reference pages.

A reaction paper is just what its name suggests—a paper explaining your reaction to a film.  In this case I am specifically interested in your reaction to the environmental themes or message of the film.  Like any good essay, your reaction paper should develop one primary idea related to the environmental theme or message of the film, support your assertion with specific evidence (usually references to individual shots or scenes, language, visual devices, or music), and present both ideas and evidence in clear language and a logical order.  Settle on one or two key points about the environmental theme or message in the film that you would like to develop. Do not simply provide a summary of the plot or provide your opinion of the film.
As this is an environmental geography class, your essay should focus around your interpretation or understanding of the environmental themes of the film, rather than subplots or technical aspects, with the exception of how these components contribute to, or distract from, the environmental themes.  Be sure to support your assertions with clear examples form the film or readings. I am really looking for you to make connections between these films and other ideas or experiences.

Draw upon the many readings we have done in class, and use the ideas discussed from the readings – conservation, preservation, social injustice, economic environmentalism, or any of the ideas from current events to strengthen your argument.

THE FILM: These independently produced films are available on-line through the Future States TV channel on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/user/FUTURESTATESTV or their website: http://itvs.org/series/futurestates.  You must select one film from the following list of episodes on which to complete your paper. Season 1: Plastic bag, Mister Green, or Fallout, Season 2: Beholder, Asparagus, Spring of Sorrow, Exposure, White, or That Which Once Was, Season 3: Laura Keller – NB, or The 6^th World, or Season 4: Children of the Northern Lights, Return to Elektra Springs.  Each film is about 15 -20 minutes. You may want to watch a couple films before deciding on one for your review.

1. Your paper should identify the film’s title and any other information you have available. Throughout the paper, the film’s title should be underlined or placed in quotes.
2. Your reaction paper should be two pages.
3. Because a reaction paper describes your reaction to a film, it is appropriate to use first person (I, me, my, mine).  But remember that the paper is primarily about the environmental themes in the film, not about you.
4. Avoid the frequent problem of too much summary! Any viewer can get the gist from viewing the movie, so if your paper devotes too many words to summary, there’s not much “value added” in the paper.  THIS IS BY FAR THE MOST COMMON PROBLEM IN INEFFECTIVE PAPERS! Be CERTAIN that you have developed a clear point of view and that you have supported your point of view with clear evidence using specific language, visual effects, music, or scenes from the film.
5. Your paper should be typed, double spaced using a standard font. Number pages in the lower left-hand corner
6. In the upper left-hand corner of your first page, preferably in the header, please type the following heading.

(This link provides a general overview of how to construct a film critique.  You will need to think a little bit outside of the box in order to employ the method.  For example:  Most film “plots” will have a beginning, a middle and an end.  This educational video presents a collection of interrelated stories that tell a story about a particular era.  You will be able to see how the elements are put together in a certain order and manner in order to make an impression.  There are particular vignettes in the videos you have watched which deal with specific events and persons. When taken as a whole, these stories add up to reveal a greater understanding of the Enlightenment.)
