Cover Letter
One aspect of strategic planning is to develop a strong team of people. Discovering and retaining top talent may lead a company to success. Your goal for this journal assignment is to showcase why you would make a good candidate for an organization. To stand out from other candidates, you will want to write a cover letter for each position in which you apply. Cover letters allow you an opportunity to highlight your skills and competencies for potential employers.
For this assignment, you will develop a cover letter, reflect on your most relevant skills, and assess what action steps you can take to make your cover letter stronger.
To write an impactful cover letter, you should answer the following questions before you begin composing it. Starting with these questions will help provide a clear and concise message for the person reading your cover letter.
Why are you interested in the position? Consider what makes the position, organization, or company interesting to you.
What three skills or competencies do you possess that match the skills the employer is seeking in a candidate?
You can find these skills by viewing the job description. These specific skills are the reason every cover letter should be unique for each job you apply for.
Begin by reviewing the following Forbes’ articles:
Forget Cover Letters – Write A Pain Letter, Instead! (Links to an external site.)
Stop! Don’t Send That Cover Letter (Links to an external site.)
Tips For The Perfect Resume And Cover Letter (Links to an external site.)
Once you have reviewed the articles, identify a position of interest as a potential job opportunity. You may use any job search website. Two popular employment websites are
Indeed (Links to an external site.)
and CareerBuilder. After you identify a position of interest, use the job description to identify three skills or qualifications that match your background. Next, develop a cover letter by creating a three- to four-sentence paragraph highlighting your matching skills.

NURS 6660 PMH Nurse Practitioner Role I: Child and Adolescent
February 3, 2019
Personal Philosophy Statement
Patient care is complex system that is delivered by a multidisciplinary team. Its success requires perfect harmony between the all the involving members. It is vital that the care we deliver as healthcare professional is patient – centered. Therefore, it is important to know the population that we are serving, its needs and its cultural background. In the United States more than any other country, healthcare providers should develop their cultural awareness and competence.
The stigma around the mental illness and the quality of treatment that mentally ill individuals receive have inspired me to become a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner (PMHNP). I have felt the necessity to stand up and do what is right as my contribution to fix this urgent issue. In our society, physical or medical diseases provoke empathy, but we demonstrate disdain for people impacted by mental conditions. Like we always say, “See it and fix it”. So, passivity is as wrong as the wrong doing.
As a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner, I will have the opportunity to care for a multicultural population with different conceptions or point of view about mental health. It is my role and responsibility to understand the cultural differences and provide support to those in need. I have learned that in the healthcare system, we should not be judgmental. My personal philosophy is to treat each and every patient as I would like to be treated. It is a moral obligation to use my knowledge to serve and educate individuals in my community. As a healthcare professional, I believe that I have the capability to change to way mentally ill individuals are viewed and treated. Through my philosophy, I will be able to advocate for holistic and empathic care for individuals with mental health conditions.
Self – Assessment
I have decided to transition from registered nurse (RN) to psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner (PMHNP) to better serve my community. So, I have always said and believe that the more someone has the he/she can give. When I decided to go back to school to pursue my goal, I said to myself “I have to choose one of the best schools”. Finally, I have chosen Walden University that I believe meet my expectations. For my Practicum, I have chosen the Compass Health System which has been established in the South Florida since 1990, and it is well respected in the community. They offer their services through their offices and most of the hospital with mental health crisis. They are one the major teaching facilities in mental health in the South Florida.
I have selected preceptors who have been working with Compass Health System for several years. So, they acquired a very solid experience in the field. I have taken great advantage of their experience to strengthen my assessment s.

Course Description
This course explores key philosophical concepts from an ethical perspective. Students will analyze selected assertions of knowledge and the methods of reasoning humans use to justify these claims. Through research into theories of science and religion, as well as the theoretical and empirical challenges these institutions of thought face, students will also investigate how the mind constructs and understands reality. This will provide a foundation for an exploration into questions of morality, in which students will look at traditional and contemporary ethical theories, and apply these theories to contemporary moral issues.
Course Design
In this course, students will be introduced to various ethical theories and practical ethical issues. 1) Students will examine and engage dominant theories of ethics, as well as relativism, and how the relativist position argues against universal ethical principles. Students will utilize what they learn about those ethical theories to examine a contemporary ethical issue and reflect on their own ideas about relativism. 2) Students will examine consequentialist ethical theory and responses to the consequentialist position. 3) Students will examine deontological ethical theory. 4) Students will examine virtue ethics. 5) Students will examine feminist ethics and how feminist ethics relate and attempt to break free from the previous ethical positions. While students are learning about the various ethical theories they will also examine articles that utilize the theories to make arguments in relation to contemporary moral problems. Students will ultimately be asked to choose a contemporary moral problem and apply the ethical theories to the moral problem, while also explaining which theory they find to provide the strongest position.
Course Learning Outcomes
Upon successful completion of this course, students will be able to:
Define the nature and scope of morality and ethics.
Differentiate among traditional ethical theories.
Interpret philosophical thought through critical thinking.
Apply the concepts of ethical and moral reasoning to contemporary issues.
Determine one’s own ethical perspectives through personal reflection.
Course Map
The course map illustrates the careful design of the course through which each learning objective is supported by one or more specific learning activities in order to create integrity and pedagogical depth in the learning experience.

The Executive Summary outlines the observations of the organization. The Executive Summary is the first section of the paper however it is the last section to be written.
The reason for writing this section last is that you need to have written the entire document so that you are able to identify the key ideas the reader expects in the paper.
REMEMBER the Executive Summary is for the EXECUTIVE. This means it needs to attract the Executive to either read the rest of the document or, more likely, refer the document to the appropriate staff person to read e.g. marketing, production, legal, etc.
This section can be as long as 1 pages and is clearly longer than a paragraph.

Course Success
Habits Matter
1. Professors are influenced by your behaviors (texting, excessively late/absent, etc.) which could impact your grade.
2. Do your best with every assignment by asking questions and making corrections because details matter!
3. Do work early, procrastination will usually result in poor work quality or failure to submit assignments.
4. Participation helps collective classroom learning and increases the chance of receiving a favorable letter of recommendations.
Communicating Via Email
1. Start off by indicating your course name/section, day and time.
2. Subject: Intro. Criminal Justice 111-02 (Tues. 6pm.) Class Absence
3. Always type in your “main reason” for the email.
4. It should be an “attention getter” such as a newspaper heading.
5. Proof read your e-mail! Download and use Ginger application on phone
6. Always end email with your full name and student ID #
Writing Format
1. Use Times New Roman 12 point Font.
2. Keep margins at 1 inch
3. Click “No Spacing” at the top of your Microsoft Word document
4. “Single space” discussion boards and “double space” reports, midterm and final papers.
5. Subtitles should be bold and flush left/upper and lower case(center for research papers and don’t bold).
6. Indent (TAB .5) at the beginning of every paragraph.
7. Write short, clear and concise sentences (Do not type I think, I belive, I feel, etc. just state your point).
8. A paragraph is a minimum of 5 sentences. You must have additional paragraphs for sections having more than 12 sentences.
Subtitles
Use subtitles in every essay! This ensures that both you and the reader will remain focused on the topic in each section (see your college textbook). When a professor is reading an average of one hundred papers, one right after another, it can become confusing attempting to figure out what your specific paper is about.
Your subtitles should be like newspaper headings, short and grabs the readers attention. You should consider using subtitles for sections having more thanfour paragraphs. The ‘References’ subtitle (which is always last) should be centered. Look at the effectiveness of subtitles from Dr. King’s Autobiography.
Early Years
Born as Michael King Jr. on January 15, 1929, Martin Luther King Jr. was the middle child of Michael King Sr. and Alberta Williams King. The King and Williams families were rooted in rural Georgia. Martin Jr.'s grandfather, A.D. Williams, was a rural minister for years and then moved to Atlanta in 1893. He took over the small, struggling Ebenezer Baptist church with around 13 members and made it into a forceful congregation. He married Jennie Celeste Parks and they had one child that survived, Alberta. Michael King Sr. came from a sharecropper family in a poor farming community. He married Alberta in 1926 after an eight-year courtship. The newlyweds moved to A.D. Williams home in Atlanta.

Cover Letter
One aspect of strategic planning is to develop a strong team of people. Discovering and retaining top talent may lead a company to success. Your goal for this journal assignment is to showcase why you would make a good candidate for an organization. To stand out from other candidates, you will want to write a cover letter for each position in which you apply. Cover letters allow you an opportunity to highlight your skills and competencies for potential employers.
For this assignment, you will develop a cover letter, reflect on your most relevant skills, and assess what action steps you can take to make your cover letter stronger.
To write an impactful cover letter, you should answer the following questions before you begin composing it. Starting with these questions will help provide a clear and concise message for the person reading your cover letter.
Why are you interested in the position? Consider what makes the position, organization, or company interesting to you.
What three skills or competencies do you possess that match the skills the employer is seeking in a candidate?
You can find these skills by viewing the job description. These specific skills are the reason every cover letter should be unique for each job you apply for.
Begin by reviewing the following Forbes’ articles:
Forget Cover Letters – Write A Pain Letter, Instead! (Links to an external site.)
Stop! Don’t Send That Cover Letter (Links to an external site.)
Tips For The Perfect Resume And Cover Letter (Links to an external site.)
Once you have reviewed the articles, identify a position of interest as a potential job opportunity. You may use any job search website. Two popular employment websites are
Indeed (Links to an external site.)
and CareerBuilder. After you identify a position of interest, use the job description to identify three skills or qualifications that match your background. Next, develop a cover letter by creating a three- to four-sentence paragraph highlighting your matching skills.
Carefully review the
Grading Rubric (Links to an external site.)
for the criteria that will be used to evaluate your assignment.

NURS 6660 PMH Nurse Practitioner Role I: Child and Adolescent
February 3, 2019
Personal Philosophy Statement
Patient care is complex system that is delivered by a multidisciplinary team. Its success requires perfect harmony between the all the involving members. It is vital that the care we deliver as healthcare professional is patient – centered. Therefore, it is important to know the population that we are serving, its needs and its cultural background. In the United States more than any other country, healthcare providers should develop their cultural awareness and competence.
The stigma around the mental illness and the quality of treatment that mentally ill individuals receive have inspired me to become a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner (PMHNP). I have felt the necessity to stand up and do what is right as my contribution to fix this urgent issue. In our society, physical or medical diseases provoke empathy, but we demonstrate disdain for people impacted by mental conditions. Like we always say, “See it and fix it”. So, passivity is as wrong as the wrong doing.
As a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner, I will have the opportunity to care for a multicultural population with different conceptions or point of view about mental health. It is my role and responsibility to understand the cultural differences and provide support to those in need. I have learned that in the healthcare system, we should not be judgmental. My personal philosophy is to treat each and every patient as I would like to be treated. It is a moral obligation to use my knowledge to serve and educate individuals in my community. As a healthcare professional, I believe that I have the capability to change to way mentally ill individuals are viewed and treated. Through my philosophy, I will be able to advocate for holistic and empathic care for individuals with mental health conditions.
Self – Assessment
I have decided to transition from registered nurse (RN) to psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner (PMHNP) to better serve my community. So, I have always said and believe that the more someone has the he/she can give. When I decided to go back to school to pursue my goal, I said to myself “I have to choose one of the best schools”. Finally, I have chosen Walden University that I believe meet my expectations. For my Practicum, I have chosen the Compass Health System which has been established in the South Florida since 1990, and it is well respected in the community. They offer their services through their offices and most of the hospital with mental health crisis. They are one the major teaching facilities in mental health in the South Florida.
I have selected preceptors who have been working with Compass Health System for several years. So, they acquired a very solid experience in the field. I have taken great advantage of their experience to strengthen my assessment s.

Course Description
This course explores key philosophical concepts from an ethical perspective. Students will analyze selected assertions of knowledge and the methods of reasoning humans use to justify these claims. Through research into theories of science and religion, as well as the theoretical and empirical challenges these institutions of thought face, students will also investigate how the mind constructs and understands reality. This will provide a foundation for an exploration into questions of morality, in which students will look at traditional and contemporary ethical theories, and apply these theories to contemporary moral issues.
Course Design
In this course, students will be introduced to various ethical theories and practical ethical issues. 1) Students will examine and engage dominant theories of ethics, as well as relativism, and how the relativist position argues against universal ethical principles. Students will utilize what they learn about those ethical theories to examine a contemporary ethical issue and reflect on their own ideas about relativism. 2) Students will examine consequentialist ethical theory and responses to the consequentialist position. 3) Students will examine deontological ethical theory. 4) Students will examine virtue ethics. 5) Students will examine feminist ethics and how feminist ethics relate and attempt to break free from the previous ethical positions. While students are learning about the various ethical theories they will also examine articles that utilize the theories to make arguments in relation to contemporary moral problems. Students will ultimately be asked to choose a contemporary moral problem and apply the ethical theories to the moral problem, while also explaining which theory they find to provide the strongest position.
Course Learning Outcomes
Upon successful completion of this course, students will be able to:
Define the nature and scope of morality and ethics.
Differentiate among traditional ethical theories.
Interpret philosophical thought through critical thinking.
Apply the concepts of ethical and moral reasoning to contemporary issues.
Determine one’s own ethical perspectives through personal reflection.
Course Map
The course map illustrates the careful design of the course through which each learning objective is supported by one or more specific learning activities in order to create integrity and pedagogical depth in the learning experience.

The Executive Summary outlines the observations of the organization. The Executive Summary is the first section of the paper however it is the last section to be written.
The reason for writing this section last is that you need to have written the entire document so that you are able to identify the key ideas the reader expects in the paper.

1. Use Times New Roman 12 point Font.
2. Keep margins at 1 inch
3. Click “No Spacing” at the top of your Microsoft Word document
4. “Single space” discussion boards and “double space” reports, midterm and final papers.
5. Subtitles should be bold and flush left/upper and lower case(center for research papers and don’t bold).
6. Indent (TAB .5) at the beginning of every paragraph.
7. Write short, clear and concise sentences (Do not type I think, I belive, I feel, etc. just state your point).
8. A paragraph is a minimum of 5 sentences. You must have additional paragraphs for sections having more than 12 sentences.
Subtitles
Use subtitles in every essay! This ensures that both you and the reader will remain focused on the topic in each section (see your college textbook). When a professor is reading an average of one hundred papers, one right after another, it can become confusing attempting to figure out what your specific paper is about.
Your subtitles should be like newspaper headings, short and grabs the readers attention. You should consider using subtitles for sections having more thanfour paragraphs. The ‘References’ subtitle (which is always last) should be centered. Look at the effectiveness of subtitles from Dr. King’s Autobiography.
Early Years
Born as Michael King Jr. on January 15, 1929, Martin Luther King Jr. was the middle child of Michael King Sr. and Alberta Williams King. The King and Williams families were rooted in rural Georgia. Martin Jr.'s grandfather, A.D. Williams, was a rural minister for years and then moved to Atlanta in 1893. He took over the small, struggling Ebenezer Baptist church with around 13 members and made it into a forceful congregation. He married Jennie Celeste Parks and they had one child that survived, Alberta. Michael King Sr. came from a sharecropper family in a poor farming community. He married Alberta in 1926 after an eight-year courtship. The newlyweds moved to A.D. Williams home in Atlanta.
Michael King Sr. stepped in as pastor of Ebenezer Baptist Church upon the death of h.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

Project Outline
Please print out the Course Project Outline available in Doc
Sharing and use it as a checklist while constructing your paper
and again before you turn it in.
Your paper must include the following sections:
SECTION
POINTS
DESCRIPTION
Title Page
5
Title of your applied research paper, e-mail address, course
number and title, instructor, and date.
Introduction
10
Provide an overview of the organization and your role in
5. it. Give enough information about the firm to acquaint an
unfamiliar person (no matter how famous the company).
Identify name, location, size, market segment (business line),
and a brief history. Identify the essential issues, events, or
actions to help frame the problem and subsequent discussion
points.
Problem Statement
15
Identify and clearly state the problem (the leadership or
organizational behavior issue that you have selected to
research).
The problem statement should be phrased in terms of a
researchable question. For example, if a work group is not
performing effectively, an effective problem statement might be
"How can group performance be improved?"
A well-formed problem statement has:
Focus - the problem should be well defined and specific enough
for the reader to gain a clear idea of the OB topic area and the
direction of your study and research.
Structure - if the problem statement is sufficiently focused, it
will provide a basis for decisions about which information to
include and which to exclude from the paper.
Literature Review
40
You must address at least six scholarly resources in this section.
Approach this section as a mini "book report" on each of the
reference sources that significantly informed your analysis and
proposed solutions. Give the reader an encapsulated review of
what information you found most relevant to your research. You
may have found conflicting opinions/theories related to your
topic area. Identify and discuss any such contrasts and/or
describe in detail significant agreement among your sources.
Your literature review should be separate and distinct from your
analysis section; it is a summation of your research.
Analysis
6. 40
Explore the problem in depth and with scholarly rigor.
Provide an identification and description of the root causes of
the problem/issue. Be sure not to address only symptoms of
your problem. Diagnose the problem and its origins.
A critical element of this section is to apply leadership and
organization concepts and models from our text, from class
discussions, and from your literature review. Discuss the
concepts, ideas, or insights that are most valuable in helping
you make sense of the causes of the problem. Support your

References
10
You must use no fewer than six library resources outside your
textbook.
All references must be cited in two places: within the body of
your paper and on a separate reference list. Choose references
judiciously and cite them accurately. Cite all sources using APA
format.
Please note: Citing an author's work within your text documents
your research, identifies the source for readers, and enables
readers to locate the source of information in the alphabetical
reference list at the end of the paper. To use the ideas or words
of another person without crediting the source is plagiarism.
Plagiarism in its purest form involves copying passages either
verbatim or nearly verbatim, with no direct acknowledgment of
the source. The most common form of plagiarism is to
paraphrase information from your source material. Paraphrasing
does not relieve you of the obligation to provide proper
identification of source data. The best way to avoid plagiarism
is to make sure all quotes, ideas, or conclusions not your own
are given proper acknowledgment in your text.
