Assignment Description
Qualities of a Nurse Leader
It is important for nurse leaders to engage with other nurse leaders to understand professional roles; a practice experience is assigned to achieve this end. It is expected that you will spend 8-10 hours with the nurse leader, shadowing them in their position, observing them go about their day, and interviewing them. The interview can take place before, during, or after the shadow period or can be on a different day.
**All students are to submit a completed Practice Hour Log of at least 8-10 hours into the Mod 6 dropbox. Note: Students who hold an RN license in the state of Washington must complete a minimum of 10 hours of practice experience as noted on their Log. Upload the Log as a separate document. **
You will engage with and interview a nurse leader in person. You should begin thinking about this activity as soon as possible and identify how you will identify and gain access to the interview. You may include photos, graphs, or charts.
Choose a nurse leader who holds a leadership nursing position in their organization who have direct reports (they supervise other employees). Examples of this include Director of Nursing, Director, Unit Manager. *You may not be employed in the same facility as your interviewee or shadow during personal work hours* (If special accommodations need to be made, approval by your instructor is required first).
Develop an interview guide before conducting the interview. Identify information that you want to know before the interview and plan clarifying questions. You must include at least one question about technology/informatics.
Conduct an interview regarding their professional role in the organization, and a current health care issue that is of interest to you (ethics, conflict management, budget, staffing, culture of safety, “just culture”, career advancement, quality improvement, etc.). Identify the name of the organization and use names of all involved (no anonymity).
Prepare a written report of the interview.

Discuss which errors in personal human inquiry might apply to this case including over generalization, inaccurate or selective observations, illogical reasoning and resistance to change or ideology and politics.

Purpose
To assess your ability to assess the role and importance of science and research in criminal justice.
Overview
In this assignment, you are required to examine the role of science in criminal justice. The students, as consumers of research, are required to critically question “what they think they know and how others claim to know what they know” (Maxfield & Babbie, p. 3-4) while identifying different types of research.
Review the following scenario:
Over the last several decades, policy makers have turned to a more punitive approach to crime control and prevention by increasing sentence lengths. Most states changed their juvenile sentencing policies to increase the numbers of juvenile offenders that were transferred to the adult criminal court so they could receive longer adult sentences. This get-tough-on-crime approach was very popular in most states. Yet, empirical research has failed to find that juvenile crime decreased after these laws were changed. A popular senator urged his state to try more youth as adults so they could get longer sentences, learn their lesson and not recommit. He read about a youth who shot his teacher and only received two years in a juvenile institution and another gang member who received three after aggravated assault.
Discuss which errors in personal human inquiry might apply to this case including over generalization, inaccurate or selective observations, illogical reasoning and resistance to change or ideology and politics. How might these errors impact this get-tough approach on delinquency? If you were aware of these errors and knew how to overcome them, how would you use the scientific approach to overcome them?
The assignment requires you to write a three page paper following APA style. To successfully complete the assignment, you are expected to read and study the key points and all assigned readings for this module. In particular, use the Brown (1981) article as your sources. You should also familiarize yourself with the grading criteria provided. This criteria includes information on how your professor will grade your assignment. Ensure you cover all relevant information expected of you in the assignment. Make sure you carefully proofread your assignment to ensure proper grammar and spelling. Remember: submitting your written assignment to Turnitin is NOT optional.

Which development made the world the most different from the 1850s?

In 1915, Henry Adams wrote that he felt completely unconnected and prepared for the machine age. His youth and early adulthood at Harvard and in politics did not give him an “education” to allow him to understand the modern world. It moved too fast with too many new businesses, technologies, and social relations. At a certain point he retreated to his books and his bicycle, overwhelmed by what the world had become.
Imagine you are Henry Adams. It is the 1890s and you feel disillusioned by the world you now live in. What new piece of technology would confuse you the most? Which development made the world the most different from the 1850s? And how could you most easily cope with the changes brought about by this technology?
Write a two-page, double-spaced paper that answers this question.
