To Err Is Human Analysis
After reading brief, To Err is Human: Building a Safer Health System, I did a little research and happened to find an article from April 2015 that
talked about To Err is Human. This article discussed several topics but one that stood out was that a few analysis claim that To Err is Human
counted too few errors. Yes, too few. The studies performed for To Err is Human were based on what was written on medical errors. Some doctors
often leave off mistakes in medical records, which would have lead to a lesser amount of errors reported. Towards the end of the article it discusses
how hard it is to know on a broad scale whether things are getting better, which goes along with the issue as to whether or not conditions have
improved as a result of,

The Glass Menagerie Literary Analysis
Joey Leonti The Glass Menagerie by Tennessee Williams
Module 7 October 25, 2017
Plagued with addiction, health issues, emotional distress, and a rough upbringing, Tennessee Williams was able to put these ailments to the side and
carry a career as an accomplished author, poet, and playwright ("Biography" 1–2). In Tennessee's novella The Glass Menagerie, a story of a family's
struggles taking place in St Louis, Missouri, 1937, much of the story's plot and characters have a strikingly similar reality to that of Tennessee and his
own personal life. In particular, one of the main characters and the story's narrator Tom Wingfield shows a life with close correlation to that of
Tennessee's. It can be concluded that Tennessee Williamsuses his art and talent for writing as an outlet to express his emotional pain. Williams
shows that emotional pain can be expressed through the process of art by the tension Tom's mother creates, the love for reading and writing, and the
need for adventure. Williams shows that emotional pain can be expressed through art by showing a connection between Tom and his own mother's
inability to accept their sister's potential and proficiency in life. In the case of Tennessee and his sister, Tennessee's mother Edwina wasn't truly
accepting of his sister Rose and was convinced to have an operation on Rose's brain to fix what was seen as "erratic behavior" ("Biography" 1).

The Count Of Monte Cristo Literary Analysis
Literary Analysis Essay
Kush Yagnik
Julius Caesar, the man who turned Rome into a force to be reckoned with was a great leader, however his long and powerful rule was ended with a
simple assassination because he abused his power after dictating the stronghold of Rome. History has proven to the Historical community that if one
obtains power they are likely to misuse that power. The two authors that will be used in my literary analysis essay are Coldplay and Alexandre Dumas.
The two text that will be discussed are The Count of Monte Cristo and Viva La Vida. Each paragraph will be relating diction used by both authors to
prove a point. In the Count of Monte Cristo Edmond Dantes a sailor is framed and put in jail. After many painful years he escapes to put forward
his revenge plan. Viva La vida is a hit song/poem; the lyrics imply that a man once was a king, and after being used he is overthrown, and a new
person is to take his spot. In Viva La Vida and...show more content...
The diction used in Viva La Vida and the Count of Monte Cristo provides a negative connotation seeing that the poem Viva La Vida, and The count
of Monte cristo are two sad and dark stories. In Viva La Vida Chris Martin writes "Just a puppet on a lonely string," (Chris Martin 31). In the Count
of Monte Cristo Alexandre Dumas writes " Monte Cristo cast a rapid glance around him. Andrea had disappeared," (Dumas 56). The word choice in
Viva La Vida is extremely significant because Chris Martin uses the words "puppet on a lonely string." Puppet must be a metaphor to the fact that he
was a king that was being used by the people, and he was just a figure taking the blame for everything that occurred. Lonely must

Human Error Essay
To err is human. Throughout everyday life, human error is around every corner. Human error is defined as, "a mistake made by a person rather than
being caused by a poorly designed process or the malfunctioning of a machine such as a computer." (Encarta, 2009) To simplify this definition, people
make mistakes.
Human error may become apparent in the form of human behavior or conduct that can be categorized as undesirable, unacceptable, careless, inattentive,
forgetful, reckless, harmful, a miscommunication, human performance that is extreme in variability or beyond the limits of that expected, or an
inappropriate form of risk taking behavior. An error may be harmless, it may be detectable and correctable, or it may serve to predict...show more

Shift work should therefore not be confused with irregular working hours, where work times vary in an unpredictable, irregular manner (Thierry, 1994).
Shift work can require some employees to work when the majority of people are resting. In some cases, shift work requires rotating between two or
three different starting times, which may vary by eight hours or more. The medical community, the transportation industry, utilities, security, and retail
sales have traditionally required shift work.
So many industries utilize shiftwork schedules that nearly 15 million full–time workers in the United States work shifts outside the traditional workday,
according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Yet those added shifts, implemented specifically to increase profitability, actually may be costing
companies money through higher worker injury rates (Brogmus, 2006).
While many companies are turning to shift work there seems to be an alarming trend in the influence of night shift and accident rates. Research has
proven that those who work night and rotating shifts are almost twice as likely to be injured on the job than those who work normal operating hours.
Although there is some debate about when accidents most frequently occur, there is ample evidence linking non–standard hours of work to serious
workplace accidents. Studies show that serious accidents happen more frequently between 2:00 a.m. and 6:00 a.m. In fact,

Forgiveness Reflection
Forgiveness is a concept that most people do not understand, and I must admit I was one of those people before I took the class. My experience with
this concept was mainly through church sermons where the pastor explained God forgave us of our sins to restore a relationship with us. Therefore,
my definition was clouded by these sermons and I would have said forgiveness was saying you are sorry no matter who was at fault, showing remorse
for your actions, changing your actions, and reconciling to the point of being civil to the person that had wronged you. Thankfully, because of the
class Forgiveness & Communication, I have obtained information that will empower me to move forward toward a more forgiving life style.
Through class lecture, class participation, and different types of resources I have learned many things including, the need to forgive, what
forgiveness is not, what forgiveness is, effective methods of letting go, and the tools to know if you have truly forgiven and are now different. The
need to forgive affects us physically, mentally, relationally, and spiritually. The intensity and duration of the unforgiveness can cause it to become
debilitative. Accordingly, unforgiveness does not affect the other person, it affects you negatively. For instance, like the quote of Marianne
Williamson "unforgiveness is like drinking poison yourself and waiting for the other person to die." Research shows a lot of our sicknesses such
as high blood pressure and heart trouble are intensified by the lack of our not letting go of past hurts. Mentally we spend time thinking about a past
transgression more than we spend time thinking about happy events in our lives. I think it is like ivy growing in your mind, you first think the ivy is
pretty but then it starts to grow and eventually covers the wall of your mind and chokes out all other flowering vegetation, leaving you with only the
transgression and no beautiful memories. If we do not forgive it will affect our relationships and can eventually cause the relationship to cease to be.
Lastly, our spiritual growth can be hampered by our lack of forgiving and we cannot have peace in our lives. Booker T Washington once said, "the
moment I begin to hate a man

Essay To Err Is Human
As a pilot I get sick of hearing the term "human error" whenever an accident investigation releases their report. Almost every possible scenario can
get traced back to human error in one way or another: pilot failed to initiate proper emergency procedures, pilot failed to stop when he should have
stopped, pilot failed to go when he should have gone, and pilot was looking left when he should have been looking right. It is almost too easy to
investigate an accident while flying at zero knots and determine that had the pilot done something differently maybe that accident wouldn't have
occurred. As long as airplanes are piloted by humans then all accidents will have a cause associated with human error in one way or another. In fact,

The aircraft originated from Miami Florida and was just 33 miles northeast of its destination when it crashed into mountainous terrain killing all but 4
passengers. The accident investigation determined that there was no indication of any aircraft systems malfunction, no indication of any unusual
meteorological event, no indication of any external hostile force acting on the aircraft, and no indication of any out–of–service condition of any
applicable ground based navigational aids (Ladkin). So what was the cause of this accident? Apparently, when the pilot intended to proceed direct to
the navaid "ROZO" he entered an "R" into the flight management system (FMS) which defaulted to a navaid over 100 miles away called "ROMEO."
The autopilot automatically started steering toward "ROMEO" while the pilot continued his descent for what he thought was the final approach.
Unfortunately for everyone onboard, mountains existed in the direction of "ROMEO" and 160 people died (Anderson). Had the pilot not made the
error of entering an "R" instead of "ROZO" this accident would have been prevented....what a difference 3 letters can make.
While others are quick to look at this accident and yell "pilot error," I wonder why they aren't yelling "autopilot error" or "FMS error." I couldn't
even begin to tell you what an FMS looks like, much less how to use one, but I can tell you that upon closer examination of this accident we may want
to re–think what we choose to

Summary: To Err Is Human
Since the publication of "To Err is Human" in 1999, the nursing profession has become more focused and dedicated towards improving factors that
contribute to the endangerment of patient safety. Since there are many fields in nursing, each with their own risks to patient safety, it may seem hard
to improve as a whole. Fortunately, in the scope of nursing, nurses must acquire certain skills and techniques that not only help them within their
specialty, but also ones that help them maintain their professionalism and ethical responsibilities. When some of the more basic but important skills are
reinforced, it may help improve patient safety. All nurses are expected to give quality care, advocate for their patients, educate patients and their

They recommend to sleep 7–9 hours within a 24–hour period, rest before a shift in order to avoid coming to work fatigued, improve overall personal
health and wellness through stress management, nutrition, and frequent exercise, take scheduled meals and breaks during the work shift, use naps
appropriately and consider the length of a commute prior to applying for employment. As a nurse, one is responsible in taking these into consideration
and to apply them if the nurse knows he or she is fatigued. Safe staffing acts and the principle of nonmaleficence will only complement each other and

The Divinity and Humanity of Jesus Essay
"Who do people say that I am?" (Mark 8:27) is one of the most fundamental questions that Jesus asked his disciples. It is a question, from my
personal viewpoint, that has a simple answer. Jesus is Lord! Needless to say, there is more to the identity of Jesus, but it is my belief that Jesus is the
Messiah, the second person of the Holy Trinity. He is the promised Savior foretold in the Old Testament by the prophets. There is an endless list that
gives Jesus titles such as Ruler and King, Master and Teacher, Savior and Christ, but in Acts 2:36 Luke writes, "God has made him both Lord and
Messiah, this Jesus whom you crucified." Jesus is the one who went to the Cross to bring humankind forgiveness, redemption, and salvation. Over the

Another personal favorite scripture is also written in the gospel of John, "For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who
believes in him might not perish but might have eternal life (3:16). John is emphasizing the relationship between Father [God] and Son [Jesus].
He is saying that the Son has come from the Father and in order to see the Father one must first believe in the Son (125). Divinity is the very
character of God. Therefore, Jesus' divinity is made known repeatedly throughout the New Testament. In the very first words of the Gospel of Mark
1:1, Mark writes "The beginning of the good news of Jesus Christ, the Son of God." It establishes him as the manifestation of God in human form.
Then later in Mark 1:14, scripture says that the time had come for worldwide repentance because the "Kingdom of God" was coming soon. Jesus is
not who they imagined; the people of Israel were expecting a king who would establish an earthly kingdom and rescue them from the oppression of
the Roman Empire. The Jewish community did not understand nor did it resonate that God's deliverance would be for all people (108–109). With the
proclamation of the Kingdom of God, Jesus seeks to bring about God's plan for humanity through physical, spiritual, and social healing. His purpose
and mission is to prepare the hearts and minds of the people so they can build new lives in God's kingdom. Jesus often uses stories to illustrate his
message

Jesus Simultanely Human And Divine Analysis
Is Jesus Simultaneously Human and Divine?
Taruna Kannan
HRE101–04
Throughout history many people believed that Jesus Christ is simultaneously human and divine because he came onto this earth 100% human and
100% divine. Jesus is both human and divine because of this evidence. The first evidence is Appearance, the second evidence is Miracles, the third
evidence is Human Qualities and the last evidence is Birth, Death and Resurrection. The first evidence is the way Jesus dressed and apperaed to people
on the earth. Jesus dressed just like the normal people in that time period. Jesus wore a loose fitted shirt and a cloak or a shawl on top and this was the
way everyone dressed. Such as his disciples, aposles etc. But, if Jesus was to come down with riches, nobody will follow or obey him. Another reason
is because Jesus was fully human so, people were able to see him. But, if he just came down a God, nobody would be able to see him and he will not be
able to be crucified at the cross.
The second evidence that Jesus simultaneously divine and human is that Jesus is able to perform miracles that normal people cannot do. Some
examples of the miracles Jesus performed are healing...show more content...
The first human quality is crying. This is a human quality because in the bible, when Mary's brother passed away, he was very sad and was crying
at the funeral which is a human quality. The second human quality that Jesus has is praying on his knees. This is said in the bible when Jesus was
in the Garden of Gethsemane pleading to God (His Father) to spare him and let him live. The third and final human quality is pain. Pain is shown as
a human quality because when Jesus was being crucified on the cross, nailed and whipped. Jesus was in extreme pain because his flesh is being torn
off and he is dying a very slow, painful death which would hurt any human being

Divine Intervention in 'the Iliad'
'The Iliad' is the greatest epic poem of classical Greece, attributed to Homer. The use of divine machinery is a prominent feature of many epics. The
'Iliad' is a story in which the gods and goddesses plays a vital role. Throughout the poem, the gods play an important role in the action of the plot and its
outcome. In this poem we find so many Devine interventions in human activities .The interventions of the gods also serve to magnify the significance
of human action. Infect, the epic begins with one of the divine intervention. In book I,which is named as PLAGUE AND WRATH, Apollo's
intervention on Chryses' behalf begins the series of events that continue throughout the epic.When Chryses come to Greek's swift ship to recover his

ATHENE, ordered by ZEUS, prompts Pandarus to shoot at Menelaus, restarting the battle. Once again, even though the tide of battle favors the
Trojans, they are forced by divine powers to break a truce that they might not otherwise break. This intervention not only reinstates the battle, but it
also further seals the demise of the Trojan city. In book V,DIODEMEDES' HEROICS, ATHENE inspires Diomedes with the strength and the
daring he needs to sustain his rampage.ATHENE's aid fills Diomedes with rage and produces carnage. This rampage directs the course of the battle
for this entire book as Diomedes leads the Greek offensive and Trojan captains attempt to stand up to him. APHRODITE saves her son Aeneas from
death at the hands of Diomedes. This intervention is more indicative of gods struggling with gods than gods manipulating men. Aeneas is threatened
only because Diomedes has been made stronger by the influence of ATHENE. APHRODITE rescues her son from danger as she continues to
struggling with hostile gods. ARES inspires Hector to lead the Trojans and defend their line against Diomedes' attack. Once again, in response to the
action of ATHENE, a god aides a Trojan captain. ARES raises Hector's strength and fills him with rage so that he can rally the Trojan warriors and
defend against the rampaging

Short Essay on the Humanity and Divinity of Jesus Christ
The discussion regarding the humanity and divinity of Jesus Christ has been a matter of debate since the earliest days of Christianity. The
post–apostolic church became plagued by different heresies, some of which continue to this day. Generations of scholars have attempted to make sense
of the human and divine natures coexisting in Jesus, some claiming that He could not be truly a man, others claiming He could not truly be God;
however, the Bible tells us that the people closest to Jesus, the apostles, were convinced that he was truly God and truly man; their evidence was what
Jesus said of Himself, what the prophecies said...show more content...
Early heresies arose as some scholars attempted to answer these questions, some saying that Jesus wasn't fully God, and others stating He wasn't fully
man. For example, Apollinaris (ca. 300–315) believed that Jesus was indeed a man, but instead of possessing a soul, as we do, He was possessed by
logos. Arius (ca. 250) felt that since God was immutable, there could be no way that the substance of God could be communicated or shared with
another being; therefore, Christ was a created being and was not pre–existent. These ideas were dangerous in either overemphasizing or denying the
God–man's attributes. Jesus had to be both God and man; otherwise, His sacrifice would have been insufficient or null. If He were a man with logos
instead of a soul, as Apollinaris suggested, Jesus' death would not have saved our souls. If He were not truly God, made flesh, then His sacrifice
would not have saved our flesh. Jesus, therefore, had to be both, to satisfy the demands of a perfect sacrifice and have the power to judge and forgive
sins. The ideas that Jesus was anything less than a perfectly joined union of God and man were countered by the Fourth Ecumenical Council in
Chalcedon, located in what is now Turkey, in A.D. 451. This council was convened with the purpose of defining the hypostatic union of Jesus' humanity
and divinity and established the Chalcedonian Creed. Hypostatic union is roughly defined as the inseparable union between Jesus' human and

Since the 1999 report by the Institute of Medicine (IOM), To Err is Human, there have been many new efforts and initiatives to reduce the incidence of
medical errors. While some people argued the report exaggerated the magnitude of the problem, others were concerned about the annual number of
preventable medical errors.1 Medical errors include, but not limited to medication errors, hospital acquired infections, surgical mistakes, and
communication failure.2 As a student pharmacist, I am interested in medication errors and initiatives for their prevention. In response to the IOM's

The Between Human Beings And The Divine
Happiness consists in reason and there is a highest good which does not come to us by chance but can be achieved by connecting a rational soul with
virtue. Although happiness is not virtue it is virtuous activity. According to Aristotle, virtue is among the traits which contribute to creating and
maintaining a sustainable society by aiding in the relationship between human beings and the divine. This perspective contributes to the understanding
that humans are created in the image of God because virtue by definition is behavior of high moral standards. Without Jesus there would not even be a
standard of what moral behavior is. By following Jesus's example of virtuous activities we can live well.
Aristotle's treatises cover these character traits that humans should have in order to live well. Human beings not only have the lower capacities of
growth, reproduction, motion and perception; they also have reason. This capacity of using reason to guide ourselves is what separates humans from
all other species. We can decide whether or not to live well by the decisions we make. Sometimes there may be motives such as anger that prevent us
from making rational decisions. If done consistently these irrational decisions can prevent us from reaching our goal of living well. "Living well
consists in doing something, not just being in a certain state or condition. It consists in those lifelong activities that actualize the virtues of the rational
part of the soul (Aristotle's Ethics,

The Relationship Between Humanity And The Divine
Ronald Nance
Jones, Craig
Introduction to Philosophy
6 December 2016
The relationship between humanity and the divine
Throughout the course of humanity's history many questions have risen that have posed a problem to us as a species. Questions such as the following:
What is the proper relationship between individuals and society? What is beauty, and why is it important? Is there purpose in human existence?, and
many others have caused enough trouble in humanity's short existence on the earth to cause a near identity crisis. However, all of these questions fall
under the shadow of the main question that has been asked since the creation of Adam– "What exactly is the real relationship and purpose of humanity
towards the divine?"
During the time of philosophers, such as Aristotle and Plato, "What exactly is the real relationship and purpose of humanity towards the divine?" was
the question spreading among the philosophers. When questioned what God is, Aristotle stated in writing, "God is a supreme and eternal living
being, so that to God belong life and continuous and eternal duration. For that is what God is." If we choose to believe Aristotle's logic then we are
left without a reason as to why humanity exists and are left to make assumptions about our existence for the divine power. If God is eternal and has
all power then that would mean that our existence is meaningless unless we had a specific purpose to work towards for our Divine. A question that can
arise in the

Although many of the available studies have focused on the hospital setting, medical errors present a problem in any setting, not just hospitals.
Errors are also costly in terms of opportunity costs. Dollars spent on having to repeat diagnostic tests or counteract adverse drug events are dollars
unavailable for other purposes. Purchasers and patients pay for errors when insurance costs and copayments are inflated by services that would
not have been necessary had proper care been provided. It is impossible for the nation to achieve the greatest value possible from the billions of
dollars spent on medical care if the care contains errors. But not all the costs can be directly measured. Errors are also costly in terms of loss of trust
in the system by patients and diminished satisfaction by both patients and health professionals. Patients who experience a longer hospital stay or
disability as a result of errors pay with physical and psychological discomfort. Health care professionals pay with loss of morale and frustration at not
being able to provide the best care possible. Employers

Is The Bible A Divine-Human Book?
Yes, I agree that the Bible is a divine–human book. God uses various authors and genres over an extended time period to bring His Word to
humankind. Though this special book has several authors and is written over a considerable time span, the completed book is still one with a cohesive
message regardless of the fact that it had multiple authors in different societal structures, political climates and time periods. God allowed these authors
to capture the revelations that He gave through His Spirit and preserve it throughout the generations. Additionally, theBible has not only been
substantiated by ancient sources, modern day archeological findings, but also by the prophecies that have been fulfilled and are still being fulfilled
today.

Director Andrew Adamson's intriguing film "Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion Witch and Wardrobe", is based on C.S. Lewis's novel. The film tells the
story of four children who are evacuated to the countryside during the Second World War bombing of London and find a magical wardrobe that leads
to another world which has been cursed to eternal winter by the evil White Witch Jadis. Forgiveness is a suggested theme throughout the film. There are
many examples in the film that show the siblings have to go through forgiving each other and friends. The film begins with the children's mother
sending her four children to live on the country side with a professor. Lucy who is the youngest finds a room with a wardrobe and enters it, when send

Lucy suddenly realized that he looked sad. When Edmund is rescued from the White Witch, he has a long talk with Aslan, which no one knows except
for the Aslan and Edmund. Edmund is forgiven by Aslan, as well as his brother and sisters. As stated by John Hiscock, "Under the guidance of Aslan,
the children, along with Narnia's talking beasts and mythical creatures, fight to overcome the White Witch's hold over Narnia. Themes such as good
versus evil, betrayal and, ultimately, forgiveness, are woven into the tale, which culminates in a spectacular, climactic battle that rivals anything in the
Lord of the Rings trilogy." In "The Chronicles of Narnia" the being able to forgive those who have caused you harms and have betrayed you is the
most important virtue. People who are unable to forgive find themselves in a heap of negative emotions. As stated by David Briggs, "The Chronicles of
Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe," speaks to Edmund, the child who betrayed him, in a scene from the new movie. Cleveland–area
religious leaders who saw the film said the scene and others like it in the film offered powerful sources of reflection on the themes of forgiveness and
redemption." C.S. Lewis believes that forgiveness for mistakes is the way that relationships heal. Good is able to overcome evil through one great act
of mercy and a lot compassion. Once you heal then
