Strengths and Weaknesses
If it is safe to do so, get out of your car and ask a few people
the following basic questions:
· What are the strengths of the community?
· What are the weaknesses?
· Are there any interesting historical facts about the
community? Sum up their responses.
· I have spoken to an elderly lady that has been in the
community for some time, and she stated one of the strength of
the community was monthly meeting that was held at different
Indi duals home. At this meeting they would discuss how to
keep the neighborhood safety.
· The weakness of the community at this time is more younger
adults are moving in and there is no sense of pride about their
community.
No historical facts reported the only thing she stated was that
they could walk the streets any time of night without be bother
by anyone.
· What do you perceive as the strengths of this community?
· The thing I see about this community is the transportation is
good.
· What do you perceive as the weaknesses of this community?
4. · The weakness I see is adolescent hanging out at the corner
store being loud and using foul languages in their conversation,
showing little to no respect to shoppers going in the store.
· Consider the differences between assessing a community and a
single person and note them down here.
The difference I saw between assessing the community is that I
can survey a large area and see a different aspect of the
community. With a single person you can encourage them to
speak freely and give spontaneous answers.

Leaders aren’t made in the classroom. Important
innate skills are developed and honed through a
series of life experiences unique to each individual.
5 leadership qualities to look for in new grads
5. Everyone knows a great leader when they see one.
Yet if you ask 10 people to describe the characteristics of a
strong leader, you’ll probably get 10 different answers.
Leadership is a unique blend of our innate abilities and
the life experiences that allows us to hone and develop
these skills.
See Also
True leadership is an evolutionary process where successes and
occasional failures have helped develop
leadership abilities in equal measure. No two leaders have the
exact same background.
How to identify leadership
In fact, leadership can be hard to identify in job seekers,
especially new college grads looking for their first
position after graduation. Without years of work experience,
examples of leadership are often not as
obvious on an entry-level resume.
Further, many interviewers fail to uncover leadership skills and
probe for experiences where these skills
have been applied. More often than not, the candidates
predicted as “sure things” often disappoint.
How, then, do you know that a political science major, who was
a performing cellist in college and whose
only work experience is as a restaurant server, is a gifted
leader?
Well, just ask. Certainly, it’s more than just asking, “are you a
6. leader?” The key is identifying the skills that
true leaders possess.
While not everyone will agree on all the required attributes,
based on interviewing thousands of new
college grads over the years and monitoring their progress after
hire, here are five attributes that I believe
most leaders have in abundance.
1. Leaders solve problems
They are often impatient and don’t like it when things don’t run
smoothly. They are always looking for
ways to improve systems, processes, and procedures. They are
very adept at analyzing problems, thinking
critically, and offering solutions.

2. Leaders have a strong sense of initiative and urgency
Time is money. Leaders innately know that inefficiency is
expensive and that organizations that do not
operate optimally are often not happy places. As a result, they
take initiative and work to foster change.
3. Leaders motivate people
Leaders have a sixth sense for what people are feeling — both
good and bad. They can be empathetic when
needed and inspire through their caring. At other times, they
can be ultra-competitive, rallying teammates
or co-workers to respond to an opportunity or challenge.
4. Leaders listen and communicate effectively
First, they seek to understand. They accumulate information and
gain insight. Then, when they act, they
can encourage, persuade, educate and inspire to help achieve
key goals.
5. Leaders have courage
They do the tough things and handle the difficult situations.
They take on the tough projects and make
8. things happen. They know that the tough things to accomplish
are often the most important. They are
willing to sacrifice.
Think about each of these areas when interviewing prospective
hires. Create effective open-ended
questions and ask the job seeker to cite real-life examples in
each area where they have made these
attributes come alive. What you learn will surprise you.
You might learn about the team captain who helped a struggling
teammate identify and deal with a
substance abuse problem. Or you might find a candidate who
got fed up about the long wait times at a
restaurant at which he was serving and who helped create a
solution that both decreased wait-times and
increased sales by more than 30 percent.
Or you might find a candidate who thought big and set a
fundraising record by attracting a national
performing act to appear at her small college.
Life experience is what counts
While classroom learning is important, when it comes to
leadership, it’s life experience that counts.
For the new grad with no professional work experience, look to
real life experiences on the football field,
winning the lead role in a play, starting a successful small
business in a dorm room, or dozens of other
examples. Be prepared to ask job seekers to describe these
experiences, with a focus on the end result.
And for undergrads lacking these kinds of experiences — get
involved, get active and get out of your

Demographic Assessment Project Overview
This assignment utilizes data mining, a tool of nursing
informatics, to locate critical information about your
community. The US Census, performed by law stated in The US
Constitution, is collected every ten years. The results of the
census are found here. The information gleaned here is
immensely valuable in assessing and planning interventions for
a community. This is a routine practice for public health nurses
and community nurses.
It is important to understand that the date from the US Census is
self- reported. It may or may not be accurate. You may notice
that the percentages do not always add up to 100 percent (or
they add up to more than 100 percent). Sometimes people fill
the census forms out a little differently than instructed, which
gives interesting results! Report the numbers as they are stated
in the Census documents and relax.
The assignment is another piece of an actual community
assessment. The assignment will teach you how to discover
facts about the population you serve whatever practice specialty
you choose. When the public health nurse completes the
community assessment, the nurse engages with many partners at
the national, state, and local level. Now that much of the vital
statistics and demographic information is online, that
engagement can seem invisible. You also engage with
community leaders and members of the population in a variety
of roles and professions.
This assignment will take 10 hours to complete.

more information.
· Risk for sexual transmitted disease, among the young to
middle age groups, in Houston Texas due to being
asymptomatic.
· Deficient Knowledge regarding condition in Alief due to
social economic.
The format for the diagnosis is the following:
1. State the problem or risk
