In the poem "War Photograph" by Kate Daniels, I believe the poem shows a great point of
imagery. In the beginning, the poem portrays the little girl running from the “Blown up bamboo
hut,” the “melting pot pans,” and “the smoke and soldiers.” The poet depicts the scene as a war
that the child is running from all alone. In the reader's mind, we can see and picture and the
scene vividly and shoe empathy for the girl. On the other hand, the end of the poem sends a
different message. Towards the end of the poem, the little girl tries her best to come and ask for
help, but we care more about spreading the news than actually helping her. She is seen
begging for her life, and all she sees while looking for help is the "shutter of the camera."

In the poem "War Photograph" by Kate Daniels the literary device that caught my attention
immediately is imagery. Kate Daniels invokes more than just sight, "A naked child is running
along the path towards us" (1-2), we can smell the smoke from the bombs, "She is running from
the smoke"(7), and both feel and hear her running from the soldiers and dead bodies, "Her feet
beating a path"(29). The Diction that Kate uses is powerful yet I personally don't relate to it on a
Poetic Diction level but, more as a powerful syntax that Kate Daniels personally felt while
viewing the photo taken during the Vietnam War. The message that I can feel through the tone
is disgust and hatred towards war and humanity after reading the ending lines, "How can she
know what we really are? From the distance, we look so terribly human."(31-34). Reviewing
some of the poetry terms under symbol I felt that Didactic Poetry matched with this poem as it is
almost structured in a way to teach a moral lesson. This poem didn't leave me questioning
anything as I was able to understand what was happening with the diction, imagery, and tone
throughout the poem "War Photograph" by Kate Daniels.

Communication for Healthy and Safe Work Environments
· AACN Standards for Health Work Environments The AACN
standards for establishing and sustaining healthy work
environments were established in 2005. The critical elements
identified in the standards continue to serve as the framework
for establishing an environment where communication is open
and effective, and patient outcomes are a priority.

leaders...
The first activity of this lesson is to do a self assessment on
your emotional intelligence. I am sure you have all heard of
Emotional Intelligence. But, before you move on to the learning
activity of completing an Emotional Intelligence Self
Assessment, watch this short video with Daniel Goleman
introducing Emotional Intelligence. Dr. Goleman is a
psychologist and authored the book "Emotional Intelligence" in
1995.
Daniel Goleman Introduces Emotional Intelligence
Activity 1: Emotional Intelligence Survey
Open the Emotional Intelligence Self Assessment , print it, and
then write down your answers to the questions. There are 3
analysis questions at the end of the assessment.
Before you move on to activity 2, spend a few moments
reflecting on this question:
· Why is emotional intelligence important as a nurse leader to a
healthy and safe work environment?
you will write a short reflection paper (2-
3 pages) composing responses to the following questions pertain
ing to a healthy and safe work environment.
1.
Choose 1 of the 6 AACN Standards for a Healthy and Safe Wor
k Environment (2005) that you are most interested in or are the
most relevant to your work environment.
·
What is an Organization's Role in assuring the standard is imple
mented and upheld?
·
What is the leader’s role in assuring the standard is implemente
d and sustained?
16. ·
What is your role in implementing and maintaining the standard
in your workplace? Provide an example from your practice envir
onment of how the standard has been implemented, or that you c
an implement yourself
2. An effective leader recognizes that each person has a unique
background and set of life experiences, and brings a personal an
d cultural framework to each encounter. The differences betwee
n people can create unintentional misunderstanding resulting in
conflict. For conflict resolution activities to be successful, they
must be based on an understanding of differences of those invol
ved, as well as a respect for and appreciation of these difference
s. Consider the differences in your work group with regards to r
ace, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, political beliefs, and s
ocioeconomic background. Discuss three steps you have taken,
or could take to support workplace inclusion.
3. Describe what you learned about your emotional intelligence
from the "Emotional Intelligence Survey" and how it relates to
supporting a healthy and safe work environment.
This is an informal piece of writing. Use the following guidelin
es as you complete this reflection.
1. A title page is not required.
2. Paper should be double spaced.
3.
Write concisely. Ideally, paper should be 2 pages in length, but
must not be greater than 3 pages. (excluding reference page).
4. Minimally, the paper should include in-
text citations and reference to the AACN Standards for a Health
y and Safe Work Environment article. Additional supporting ev
idence is optional.
