Registered Nurse Scholarship Essay
I used to work as a registered nurse in Samoa for the past 10 years. I recently resigned from NHS in 2012 as a registered nurse and accepted an offer
from SENESE Inclusive Education to work with children with special needs. This is with regard to my plan of developing and enhancing my skills
as a registered nurse, taking advantage of the perspective of disabilities as other areas of health we also work with. From then on I developed an
interest in becoming the first speech language therapist for Samoa in order to work with children and adults who have communication and
swallowing disorders. I have noticed from my background as a nurse, our people deserve this service. I have also nursed a lot of people who have had
stroke and seen children ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
I also believe that my experience as a registered nurse in Samoa has supported me to know what Samoans need and what approach is relevant to the
way our people live. I also have the experience of working with people from other cultures like Maori, Tonga and Tokelau. My long term goal would
be training more health professionals in the area of speech and language therapy by sending them to the University of Auckland in order for this
service to be extended to other Pacific Islands in the future.
I would be interested in a position for a full time speech language therapist in your organisation with conditions similar or close to the following:–
A salary around 45,000 or more corresponding to my qualification and experience.
A senior speech language therapist or speech language pathologist to supervise me for the period of two years for preparing me to work on my own

Health And Life Of Polynesia
Health and Life in Polynesia
Polynesia is geographically categorized as the triangular area between Easter Island, New Zealand and Hawaii. Some of the main island groups that
are included in within the triangle are Tonga, the Cook Islands, Samoa, Niue, Tokelau, Tuvalu and French Polynesia. While these are islands are
separated geographically by the Pacific Ocean, culturally they are known to have many similarities and can be considered united rather than divided
by the ocean (Capstick, Norris, Sopoaga, & Tobata, 2009). When it comes to health challenges each of these islands are vulnerable to the same issues,
as a result they make a joint effort to tackle these issues. Over the years Polynesia has had an increase of urbanization and ... Show more content on

The Polynesian natives have decided to abandon their traditional diet for a more appealing and glamourous imported foods that are nutrient–poor and
full of unhealthy fats and sugar.
A few health professionals argue that it is the lack of nutrition education that plays a main role in the shift to such an unhealthy diet. However,
Polynesian health care professionals have to disagree as they mention that nutrition education is included in the school curriculum but it is the
challenge of converting education to behaviors. Children are being taught about how to ear properly and what are healthy items they can choose to
eat however, when they go to lunch junk food sold because the schools know they will make a profit off the sales (World Health Organization,
2010). There are very minimal regulations on food products in Polynesia. While people may be educated about healthy items when it comes time to
pick out foods they have another barrier as food labels vary in language depending on where they are imported from. Majority of the Polynesian
island communities speak English or Maori. With the majority of the imported foods coming from countries such as Malaysia, China and the
Philippines, a mass amount of the food labels are not in English or Maori making it difficult or almost impossible for people to read the nutrition
content. Regulations requiring food labels to be in English, the primary language in most Pacific Island

diabetes. In the Europe Region, 30.8% of the general population are aged between 50 and 79 years in 2015 and this is expected to increase to 35.6%
by 2040. To a large degree, the high prevalence of type 2 diabetes andimpaired glucose tolerance are a consequence of the ageing of Europe's
population.(1)
Middle East and North Africa
Approximately 35.4 million people, or 9.1% of adults aged 20–79, are living with diabetes in the Middle East and North
Africa Region in 2015. Over 40.6% of these are undiagnosed. Although 54.9% of all adults in the region live in urban areas, 67.0% of people with
diabetes live in urban environments. The vast majority (83.9%) of the people with diabetes in the region are living in low– or middle– income

The Cultural Areas Of The Pacific Ocean
Although many people have no idea that Polynesia really means "region of many islands", I happen to know that this region is made up of three
major cultural areas in the southwest Pacific Ocean. These include Polynesia, and Polynesia's neighboring cultures, Melanesia and Micronesia. The
Polynesian culture is so wide spread, so practices, customs, norms, etc. all fluctuate by island. The entire culture can be examined through the seven
elements of culture. To begin, these three cultures are extremely diverse, but very similar. I decided to examine the Polynesian Culture in particular
because it has the highest popularity within the Pacific Islands. The Polynesian culture is spread across 15 main locations, with thousands of islands
and several countries in between. Each island included in the Polynesian culture is located within the "Polynesian Triangle". The Polynesian Triangle
is made up of three main island groups: Easter Island or "Rapa Nui", the Hawaiian Islands, and New Zealand or "Aotearoa" islands. Other notable
islands within the triangle include the Tokelau Islands, the Marquesas Islands, the Tuvalu Islands, the Samoan Islands, the Cook Islands, the Fiji
Islands, the Niue Islands, the Tuamotu Islands, the Tahiti Islands, and the Pitcairn Islands. The Polynesian Culture dates back 2,000 to 3,000 years ago.

Why Is Kiribati So Important To Australia's Economy?
A modern–day Atlantis threatens to be lost once again to the world if we continue to do nothing to stop it.
The Republic of Kiribati is a set of 33 islands in the south pacific ocean, and its capital, Tarawa, is about halfway between Australia and Hawaii. It is
bordered by the Cook Islands, the Marshall Islands, Nauru, French Polynesia, Tokelau and Tuvalu.Kiribati has no international disputes, which is
perhaps made more evident by the fact that it has no military.

Unfortunately, this is not the case, due to its isolated location. Instead the country's major industries are fishing and handicrafts.
With a GDP per Capita of only $1,424 compared to the world medium of $6,027, Kiribati is one of the poorest nations in the world. Its major exports
are fish and coconut products, whereas it has to import food, machinery and equipment, fuel, and other miscellaneous manufactured goods.
I am very sure that it would not be so disadvantaged if Kiribati still had the phosphate reserves it was unsustainably emptied of before gaining
independence. The industry not only depleted major resources that could've still been generating wealth for Kiribati now, but it also deeply harmed the
environment. And although Kiribati has been payed money as compensation for the damage done, we believe the global community and especially
those who benefitted from the phosphate industry still have a responsibility to take further action.

Frederick Douglass Essay: Effects Of Slavery
Frederick Douglass

–Deborah Kindler–
Frederick Douglass Essay
What are the effects of slavery and how was it detrimental to everyone who came in contact with slavery?
The first answer that comes to mind is that without slaves, plantation owners would not be able to run the plantation in a cost effective manner on
a large tract of land. Because of hardships, the Virginians that were suffered in the early 1600s, they needed labor in order to grow crops in a sufficient
manor to be able to survive and grow enough to create an economy. "Black slaves were the answer". "African blacks had been stamped as slave labor
for a hundred years", (Ch 2, p 2) in other words, cheap labor.
Slavery was dehumanizing, demoralizing, and degrading to ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
They formed the ANTI–SLAVERY SOCIETY on 07/01/1775 and abolished slavery within their society on 01/01/1776.
The white society of America was afriad of blacks, with blacks thought to be inferior to the superior white race. They were thought to be brutes, if left
unmanaged they would become criminals, and bi–racial marriages were forbidden. Whites thought that blacks could not survive on their own.
[Jefferson] believed that "blacks would have to be removed from American society" (Chapter 3, p. 63) and that they "could never co–exist in America."
(p. 64)
2)How does slavery affect a plantation slave owner, an urban slave owner, and an overseer?
a.Why was slavery worse for someone who married into the slave holder household?
Frederick Douglass described his mistress, Mrs. Sophia Auld, as being kind and tender–hearted when he first met her. He stated, "slavery proved as
injurious to her as it did me" and later in the book spoke of both Mr. Hugh Auld and Mrs. Sophia Auld, becoming drunkards, and mean

1. Innovation to improve the mortality and morbidity of cardiovascular disease in developing countries may involve new surgical procedures, new
implants and pacemakers, coronary artery bypasses, surgical treatments for Atrial fibrillation, repair of congenital heart defects, heart transplants, aortic
arteries repair, replacement or repair of heart valves, and aneurysm repair (Hsieh, Chang, Lee, Chen, & Chan, 2012). Moreover, the innovation involves
the integration of computer charting and data collection. This may involve a computer–based data registry that is responsible of storing patient related
data. Developing countries are stepping away from the pen and paper charting system to a more sophisticated computerized system (Hsieh et al.,
2012). This will allow for better tracking and follow up of complicated cases. Moreover, technological advances in imaging, screening, and diagnosing
methods may also help reduce morbidity and mortality related to cardiovascular disease. Developing countries are now able to conduct ECG's, stress
monitoring, heart changes monitoring, radiological procedures, and labs that could target specific cardiac markers Hsieh et al., 2012). 2. Tobacco use

The 1988 After Five Policy Reform
BEFORE FIVE The 1988 Before Five policy reform that followed the Meade Report, addressed mutual issues and concerns. The report campaigned
concerning MДЃori grievances, women rights and the status of ECE teachers and workers (Carpenter, Jesson, Roberts & Stephenson, 2008). Involved
in the Before Five policy reform encompassed eight working groups and representatives from ECE services of Kindergartens, Kohanga reo, Play
centre, early childhood care and education centres ( Duhn, 2009). Throughout this policy, theTreaty of Waitangiwas acknowledged and upheld as
Kohanga administration was not able to be altered by the Education Department only the Department of MДЃori affairs.
Though Before Five had taken aboard majority of the Meade Report recommendations it missed out vital areas ensuring healthy community focus as
ECE reforms did not get caught up with general education reforms, however with the new frameworks the intentions of the policy were undermined
(Carpenter, Jesson, Roberts & Stephenson, 2008). Lack of commitment by the government was apparent and ordered a new economic path in ECE. A
series of policy documents across all sectors of education ensued: Before Five (1988) for ECE, Tomorrows School (1989) for schools and Learning for

The Role Of Director Of The New Zealand Aid Programme Essay
I write to you in the hopes you will consider my application for the role of the Director of the New Zealand Aid Programme (NZAP).
Studying the inconsistent implementation of past aid policies, I will use the Pacific to outline my vision for the direction of future aid administration.
Guided by the principle purpose of New Zealand's first independent aid organisation, NZAID, and in keeping with international aid trends, my vision
for NZAP would work towards one clear goal: the elimination of poverty.
New Zealand aid policies have been reorganised over the past few decades, influenced by both international practices and domestic politics.
Effected in the years following World War II as many Pacific nations gained independence, early aid approaches aligned with global development
policies and bilateral structures proposed by the Colombo Plan (Banks et al., 2012). New Zealand aid provision increased through the 1970s, before
dropping rapidly between the 1980s and 1990s with the adoption of neoliberal policies, deviating to focus on the implementation of the Millennium
Development Goals (MDGs) in the 2000s (Banks et al., 2012). Helen Clark's reigning Labour Government, established NZAID in 2002, adopting
policies which sought to rectify the damage wrought during the 'lost decade' when National's neoliberal policies saw the introduction of Structural
Adjustment Policies (SAPs) and drastic reduction of New Zealand's Official Development Assistance (ODA) (Banks et al., 2012;

organization had recommended an overall transition from saturated animal fats to unsaturated vegetable oils. According to the article in the *Farm
Journal*, the video encouraged viewers to leave most cheeses, fatty meats, and eggs behind and instead eat low–fat or vegetable based oils. The

Though
Jersey cattle have a reputation of producing the sweetest milk and best tasting meat, they are less popular due to their high fat content. Instead,
Holstein cattle are more popularly bread for their lower fat milk and Angus cattle dominate the beef industry with lower fat quantity and a high muscle
yield. Also, the traditional pig was no longer bred to be so "pot–bellied".
This gave way to a more lean and muscular swine industry.
The modern American diet has generally accepted the theory of cholesterol containing foods (saturated fats) causing heart disease and is submerged in
a low–fat, vegetable oil diet. Even though the public has seemingly accepted this view, the scientific research community is still in disagreement. The
American Heart Association, today, takes the same stance it took in the 1960s with a recent quote from their website stating:
Eating foods that contain saturated fats raises the level of cholesterol in your blood. High levels of blood cholesterol increase your risk of heart
disease and stroke. Be aware, too, that many foods high in saturated fats are also high in cholesterol – which raises your blood cholesterol even higher.
Even though this is the current opinion of the American Heart Association, many research experiments have challenged it.

It's been said, "Behind every cloud, there is a rainbow."
To most, living on a tropical island sounds like paradise or something out of a dream. People often fantasize about tropical islands filled with warm

tropical islands. I know because when I was six years old my parents decided that our family of five should become missionaries in the South Pacific.

Global Warming Vs Climate Change Essay
The Earth's geography is always shift and changing its malleable form through various processes. Whether it is through Earths natural erosion process
or a natural disaster such as an earthquake or a tsunami. Everyone knows about these type of disasters when they happen, but do they know why they
happen or what causes them to happen? This can be better explained by what is called Climate Change. There are people today that actually do not
believe in climate change. However, one can argue that something is truly happening to our planet as a whole.
If you think global warming and climate change mean the same thing then you would be wrong. This is simply because global warming refers to the
long–term trend of the warming of the planet. On the other hand, climate change "...encompasses global warming, but refers to the broader range of
changes that are happening to our planet. These include rising sea levels, shrinking mountain glaciers, accelerating ice melt in Greenland, Antarctica
and the Arctic, and shifts in flower/plant blooming times..." (Tenenbaum, 2016). The rising of sea levels, the shrinking of mountain glaciers, and the

Registered Nurse Scholarship Essay

  • 1. Registered Nurse Scholarship Essay I used to work as a registered nurse in Samoa for the past 10 years. I recently resigned from NHS in 2012 as a registered nurse and accepted an offer from SENESE Inclusive Education to work with children with special needs. This is with regard to my plan of developing and enhancing my skills as a registered nurse, taking advantage of the perspective of disabilities as other areas of health we also work with. From then on I developed an interest in becoming the first speech language therapist for Samoa in order to work with children and adults who have communication and swallowing disorders.

I also believe that my experience as a registered nurse in Samoa has supported me to know what Samoans need and what approach is relevant to the way our people live.

My long term goal would be training more health professionals in the area of speech and language therapy by sending them to the University of Auckland in order for this service to be extended to other Pacific Islands in the future.

Some of the main island groups that are included in within the triangle are Tonga, the Cook Islands, Samoa, Niue, Tokelau, Tuvalu and French Polynesia. While these are islands are separated geographically by the Pacific Ocean, culturally they are known to have many similarities and can be considered united rather than divided by the ocean (Capstick, Norris, Sopoaga, & Tobata, 2009).

The Polynesian natives have decided to abandon their traditional diet for a more appealing and glamourous imported foods that are nutrient–poor and full of unhealthy fats and sugar. A few health professionals argue that it is the lack of nutrition education that plays a main role in the shift to such an unhealthy diet. However, Polynesian health care professionals have to disagree as they mention that nutrition education is included in the school curriculum but it is the challenge of converting education to behaviors. Children are being taught about how to ear properly and what are healthy items they can choose to eat however, when they go to lunch junk food sold because the schools know they will make a profit off the sales (World Health Organization, 2010). There are very minimal regulations on food products in Polynesia. While people may be educated about healthy items when it comes time to pick out foods they have another barrier as food labels vary in language depending on where they are imported from. Majority of the Polynesian island communities speak English or Maori. With the majority of the imported foods coming from countries such as Malaysia, China and the Philippines, a mass amount of the food labels are not in English or Maori making it difficult or almost impossible for people to read the nutrition content.

  • 5. The Cultural Areas Of The Pacific Ocean Although many people have no idea that Polynesia really means "region of many islands", I happen to know that this region is made up of three major cultural areas in the southwest Pacific Ocean. These include Polynesia, and Polynesia's neighboring cultures, Melanesia and Micronesia. The Polynesian culture is so wide spread, so practices, customs, norms, etc. all fluctuate by island. The entire culture can be examined through the seven elements of culture. To begin, these three cultures are extremely diverse, but very similar. I decided to examine the Polynesian Culture in particular because it has the highest popularity within the Pacific Islands. The Polynesian culture is spread across 15 main locations, with thousands of islands and several countries in between. Each island included in the Polynesian culture is located within the "Polynesian Triangle". The Polynesian Triangle is made up of three main island groups: Easter Island or "Rapa Nui", the Hawaiian Islands, and New Zealand or "Aotearoa" islands. Other notable islands within the triangle include the Tokelau Islands, the Marquesas Islands, the Tuvalu Islands, the Samoan Islands, the Cook Islands, the Fiji Islands, the Niue Islands, the Tuamotu Islands, the Tahiti Islands, and the Pitcairn Islands.

It is bordered by the Cook Islands, the Marshall Islands, Nauru, French Polynesia, Tokelau and Tuvalu.Kiribati has no international disputes, which is perhaps made more evident by the fact that it has no military.

Unfortunately, this is not the case, due to its isolated location. Instead the country's major industries are fishing and handicrafts. With a GDP per Capita of only $1,424 compared to the world medium of $6,027, Kiribati is one of the poorest nations in the world. Its major exports are fish and coconut products, whereas it has to import food, machinery and equipment, fuel, and other miscellaneous manufactured goods. I am very sure that it would not be so disadvantaged if Kiribati still had the phosphate reserves it was unsustainably emptied of before gaining independence. The industry not only depleted major resources that could've still been generating wealth for Kiribati now, but it also deeply harmed the environment. And although Kiribati has been payed money as compensation for the damage done, we believe the global community and especially those who benefitted from the phosphate industry still have a responsibility to take further action.

  • 8. Frederick Douglass Essay: Effects Of Slavery Frederick Douglass Essay 5/14/2015 –Deborah Kindler– Frederick Douglass Essay What are the effects of slavery and how was it detrimental to everyone who came in contact with slavery? The first answer that comes to mind is that without slaves, plantation owners would not be able to run the plantation in a cost effective manner on a large tract of land. Because of hardships, the Virginians that were suffered in the early 1600s, they needed labor in order to grow crops in a sufficient manor to be able to survive and grow enough to create an economy.

They were thought to be brutes, if left unmanaged they would become criminals, and bi–racial marriages were forbidden. Whites thought that blacks could not survive on their own.

Innovation to improve the mortality and morbidity of cardiovascular disease in developing countries may involve new surgical procedures, new implants and pacemakers, coronary artery bypasses, surgical treatments for Atrial fibrillation, repair of congenital heart defects, heart transplants, aortic arteries repair, replacement or repair of heart valves, and aneurysm repair (Hsieh, Chang, Lee, Chen, & Chan, 2012). Moreover, the innovation involves the integration of computer charting and data collection. This may involve a computer–based data registry that is responsible of storing patient related data. Developing countries are stepping away from the pen and paper charting system to a more sophisticated computerized system (Hsieh et al., 2012). This will allow for better tracking and follow up of complicated cases. Moreover, technological advances in imaging, screening, and diagnosing methods may also help reduce morbidity and mortality related to cardiovascular disease. Developing countries are now able to conduct ECG's, stress monitoring, heart changes monitoring, radiological procedures, and labs that could target specific cardiac markers Hsieh et al., 2012). 2.

The report campaigned concerning MДЃori grievances, women rights and the status of ECE teachers and workers (Carpenter, Jesson, Roberts & Stephenson, 2008). Involved in the Before Five policy reform encompassed eight working groups and representatives from ECE services of Kindergartens, Kohanga reo, Play centre, early childhood care and education centres ( Duhn, 2009). Throughout this policy, theTreaty of Waitangiwas acknowledged and upheld as Kohanga administration was not able to be altered by the Education Department only the Department of MДЃori affairs. Though Before Five had taken aboard majority of the Meade Report recommendations it missed out vital areas ensuring healthy community focus as ECE reforms did not get caught up with general education reforms, however with the new frameworks the intentions of the policy were undermined (Carpenter, Jesson, Roberts & Stephenson, 2008). Lack of commitment by the government was apparent and ordered a new economic path in ECE. A series of policy documents across all sectors of education ensued: Before Five (1988) for ECE, Tomorrows School (1989) for schools and Learning for Life (1989) for tertiary.

  • 13. The Role Of Director Of The New Zealand Aid Programme Essay I write to you in the hopes you will consider my application for the role of the Director of the New Zealand Aid Programme (NZAP). Studying the inconsistent implementation of past aid policies, I will use the Pacific to outline my vision for the direction of future aid administration. Guided by the principle purpose of New Zealand's first independent aid organisation, NZAID, and in keeping with international aid trends, my vision for NZAP would work towards one clear goal: the elimination of poverty. New Zealand aid policies have been reorganised over the past few decades, influenced by both international practices and domestic politics. Effected in the years following World War II as many Pacific nations gained independence, early aid approaches aligned with global development policies and bilateral structures proposed by the Colombo Plan (Banks et al., 2012). New Zealand aid provision increased through the 1970s, before dropping rapidly between the 1980s and 1990s with the adoption of neoliberal policies, deviating to focus on the implementation of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) in the 2000s (Banks et al., 2012). Helen Clark's reigning Labour Government, established NZAID in 2002, adopting policies which sought to rectify the damage wrought during the 'lost decade' when National's neoliberal policies saw the introduction of Structural Adjustment Policies (SAPs) and drastic reduction of New Zealand's Official Development Assistance (ODA) (Banks et al., 2012; ...

  • 14. In the 1960s the American Heart Association debuted a film... In the 1960s the American Heart Association debuted a film named "Eat to Your Heart's Content". This video brought national attention to saturated fats in the American diet. It inspired an article in the 1969 *Farm Journal* to ask the question, "Do animal fats cause heart attacks?" Up until the American Heart Association released this video, no health or medical organization had recommended an overall transition from saturated animal fats to unsaturated vegetable oils. According to the article in the *Farm Journal*, the video encouraged viewers to leave most cheeses, fatty meats, and eggs behind and instead eat low–fat or vegetable based oils. The American Heart Association did this by linking an increase of cholesterol in the blood to ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... Though Jersey cattle have a reputation of producing the sweetest milk and best tasting meat, they are less popular due to their high fat content. Instead, Holstein cattle are more popularly bread for their lower fat milk and Angus cattle dominate the beef industry with lower fat quantity and a high muscle yield. Also, the traditional pig was no longer bred to be so "pot–bellied". This gave way to a more lean and muscular swine industry. The modern American diet has generally accepted the theory of cholesterol containing foods (saturated fats) causing heart disease and is submerged in a low–fat, vegetable oil diet. Even though the public has seemingly accepted this view, the scientific research community is still in disagreement. The American Heart Association, today, takes the same stance it took in the 1960s with a recent quote from their website stating: Eating foods that contain saturated fats raises the level of cholesterol in your blood. High levels of blood cholesterol increase your risk of heart disease and stroke. Be aware, too, that many foods high in saturated fats are also high in cholesterol – which raises your blood cholesterol even higher. Even though this is the current opinion of the American Heart Association, many research experiments have challenged it. In 2009 an article was published in *Lipids *testing the dietary effect of ...

  • 15. Reflection Paper It's been said, "Behind every cloud, there is a rainbow." To most, living on a tropical island sounds like paradise or something out of a dream. People often fantasize about tropical islands filled with warm breezes, swaying coconut trees, sandy beaches, and exotic animals. Unfortunately I know that those dreams are not an accurate reflection of most tropical islands. I know because when I was six years old my parents decided that our family of five should become missionaries in the South Pacific. In 2006, without much notice or discussion, we moved from South Carolina to the distant land of Tutuila, American Samoa, an unorganized, unincorporated territory of the United States located deep within the South Pacific. We lived there for four years, and they were the most interesting and formative years of my life. Before moving to Samoa, we lived in a typical middle class neighborhood with picket fences as white as our neighbors. My interactions were always with people that looked like me and talked like me. In Lexington, I was the majority, in Samoa I was the minority. While in Samoa, our house was filled with mosquitoes, harmless geckos, friendly interns, scurrying rats, a hilarious uncle, and flying termites. I met Kiwis and Australians, Samoans and Tongans, transgendered men and alcoholics. Unlike my time in South Carolina, in the South Pacific, I was the peculiar one.
