SELF-DIRECTED LEARNING PLAN
The Self-Directed Learning Plan (SDLP) is a process and document to chronicle your accomplishments and learning steps through the MSN program and beyond as they relate to your professional goals.
The SDLP will help you to identify and target the array of competencies you need to reach your professional objectives and to help you organize your Kaplan MSN learning experience to suit your career objectives.
The SDLP will be a section of your Program Portfolio, so take some quality introspective time to consider strengths and areas of development relevant to your career objectives. Knowing your strengths and areas to develop, you can begin a plan to find out what you need to do to achieve your career goals. We encourage you to continue to reflect on the identified areas throughout the MSN program. If you feel strength or development area is no longer relevant, you may add another to take its place. At any time, you may also add additional areas.

Anticipated Nursing Role:
Professional Goal (3-5 years) from now: My long-term goal (7-10 years) is to open my own practice offering primary care to patients across populations suffering from common to acute to chronic illnesses. In this case, my 3 to 5 years professional goals must fit in this plan. They include completing my MSN program, getting my NP licensure and finding suitable settings, preferably a busy hospital offering all-round NP services from which I can garner ample experience to enable me open my own practice. This implies not just hands on care, but leadership/managerial skills that would be critical in helping me direct healthcare services delivered in my practice.
Knowledge that prepares a graduate student for an advanced nursing role:
Knowledge of background in humanities and sciences, as it pertains to NP. This is upon recognizing that NPs prepared at graduate/master’s level should be reading to integrate genetics, organization sciences, biopsychosocial fields, public health and scientific findings derived from nursing to continually improve delivery of nursing care in various settings. Knowledge of system, as well as, organizational and personal leadership is critical to enable an NP direct safe, cost conscious and quality patient care at a personal and organizational level. Considering that NPs must deal with complex issues and deliver comprehensive care, knowledge of integrating and translating research into practice is needed to enable NPs use best-evidence practice to resolve dire patient and clinical settings problems. NPs must also have the knowledge of how healthcare technologies and informatics are used to enable them enhance communication and care to increase efficiency and effectiveness. This also goes for knowledge of advocacy and healthy policy to be able to engage themselves in policy development at organizational and political level to advance NP practice, ...

Background
Ms. L is an 87-year-old African American woman who was diagnosed with vulvar cancer at the beginning of 2017. She is also HIV-positive. By the time Ms. L engaged in care, the cancer had proliferated quite quickly in the setting of a compromised immune system. Upon discovery of the Stage 4 cancer, doctors recommended a dose of radiation and chemotherapy. However, during the course of this episode Ms. L was struggling with substance use. During her hospitalization, she tested positive for a number of substances, including heroin and cocaine. As a result, care providers had many discussions about pain management and which pain medications could be given to her. She was not on methadone treatment maintenance at first, so she was self-medicating to address her pain. While Ms. L wanted to seek help for her addiction to substances, some of the traditional models were not appropriate given the magnitude of her physical issues. There were expectations that she would get into outpatient treatment but she did not follow through, primarily because it was difficult for her to tolerate being in groups for long periods. (Given the location of her cancer, she could not sit upright for long periods or on the bus for transportation.) Ultimately, Lawanda Williams, Director of Housing Services at Health Care for the Homeless in Baltimore, Maryland,.

Advanced Practice Nurse (APN) Professional Development Plan
Advance Practice Nurse (APN) Professional Development Plan
The role of an advanced practice nurse (APN) plays a vital part in the United States health care system. APN’s are highly trained registered nurses with advanced graduate-level education. Earning a masters degree or doctorate degree in nursing allows APN’s to apply advanced knowledge in decision-making for complex cases with a large degree of independence. There are 4 main practice roles of specialization within nursing. Whether a nurse practitioner (NP), clinical nurse specialist (CNS), certified nurse anesthetist (CRNA), or a certified nurse midwife (CNM), each play a crucial role in the future of health care. Although each role requires different training and skills, they are equally complex and require high levels of critical thinking, decision-making, and independence (Hanlon, 2015).
It is important for a NP to understand the different roles of an APN and utilize the knowledge and skills to develop a professional development plan (PDP). A PDP allows for self-analysis and leadership development by setting goals and personal objectives, and assessing the importance of being a leader. This paper will review the APN scope of practice in the state of Florida, provide a personalized assessment reflecting strengths, weaknesses, goals, and objectives, strategies for advancement of the profession, Curriculum vitae, and concluding with a summary of the essential components of the APN professional development plan.
Advance Practice Nurse Scope of Practice – State of Florida
APN practice is defined by the Nurse Practice Act and governed by the Board of Nursing. There are laws and regulations that may impact practice, for example, the location where one practice’s. NP’s are required to abide by each state’s guidelines that govern the role of advance practice nurses. The definition of the role and scope of practice guidelines for a NP vary from state to state. It is understandable that state definitions may convey confusion related to the role separation, competency, emphasis, approach, and variation of a CNP. As the number of advanced practice nurses and the tasks performed by these individuals continues to grow, the importance of duty clarity is essential. Ensuring a clear understanding of expectations is imperative for nursing to have an impact on the delivery of health care services.
The state of Florida defines the role of a CNP as “any person licensed in this state to practice professional nursing and certified in advanced or specialized nursing practice, including certified registered nurse anesthetists, certified nurse mid-wives, and nurse practitioners” (Buppert, 2015). To become certified as a NP in Florida, one must hold a valid registered nurse license with a Bachelors Degree in Science recognized by the Board of Nursing. Once enrolled in a NP.

I would like to welcome the faculty and course members to this presentation of a topic that I am passionate about as a current faculty member. This project will explain in detail the need for a standardized placement tool for academic settings and hospitals to use.

Current difficulty placing students in the clinical setting
Limited sites for faculty led/preceptor led clinical
Disorganized Process of placement of students
Current placement is done individually by each site and it time intensive
Current process shows favoritism
Summary of Practicum Project Topic
As a former student I have felt the pains of placement for students in the clinical setting. As a faculty member I have been exposed to the difficulties that placing students has placed on the colleges and faculty, and the hospitals that host students. The difficulties are in the following areas:
Lack of qualified faculty willing to be flexible in unique clinical times (weekends/nights)
Poor communication between the school/hospital
Time extensive placement for current process ( School sends a request, hospitals wait for requests from all colleges before approving, placement approvals/denial sent back to college). This process can take up to months for a response.
Due to the poor communication sites are limited as managers don’t respond timely so sites go without students on site
The faculty from each college and placement coordinators from each hospital all meet monthly to discuss process. At this meeting it was discovered that one hospital places favoritism to the college associated with them and also the technical college as they have tenure with them. This makes fair placement an issue.
In the Greater Green Bay Healthcare Alliance meeting I presented the proposed topic for approval on April 8, 2016. The above listed issues were discussed and all members agreed to provide data to make placement a standardized process. All faculty and placement coordinators agree to provide all data available to create a useful tool that can be used by all members for student clinical placement.

Nursing Career Planning
Individual career planning is essential in the transitional journey from being a student to becoming a professional in your chosen career. I can imagine that it will be challenging as a nursing student to transition from school to the practice setting, but with perseverance, guidance and mentoring from fellow nurses and nurse managers my professional development will be successful. In this paper, I will discuss how I will transition as a nursing student into the nursing profession in my home state of Florida and outline my goals for lifelong learning, career development and advancement. Additionally, the paper will discuss how I will aim to achieve balance including the stressors and challenges that I may encounter in both my professional and personal life.
Transition To Nursing Profession
Each qualified and registered nurse needs to assume an essential part in the nursing profession. Individual responsibility and due ingenuity is principal. Along these lines, one ought to arrange as needs be for self-awareness and improvement lifelong learning by taking part in testing undertakings and reports that will make somebody progress in his profession. I will have a consistent professional improvement that will be indicated by expert inputs and occupation examinations directed at the work environment every year. I will involve myself in challenging activities and undertakings to help me in developing and building up the professional skills and knowledge (Feldman, 2003, p. 38). At last, in all the professional practices and viewpoints, I ought to be guided by the rule of genuineness and integrity as per the nursing codes. I ought to work decently with no inclinations and have an interest in feedback, as this is the thing that shows me areas of weakness and strengths for professional development (Drucker and Institute, 2013, p. 13). I will be guided entirely by the nursing code of practice, ethical codes and work standards as outlined by the National Council of State Boards of Nursing.
I have to take into consideration the advancement of nursing as a profession to only my personal development. In each angle, I ought to further my studies so that I can do research in specific areas that will add the fund of knowledge in nursing and improve evidenced-based practice in the clinical settings. Every one of the components where I feel that I am knowledgeable and skilled I should record it as a strength and for weaknesses I will indicate them as areas for improvement. As a nurse I need to collaborate with others since I cannot work alone to improve the profession but also it will provide me with a chance to comprehend themselves b ...

Study Plan
Throughout my educational career, I strived to prioritize my time and committed to learning the course curriculum's content in depth to succeed in my career and understand the decisions and impact in adequately diagnosing and treating patients accurately as a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner (PMHNP). The purpose of this paper is to analyze my strength, weakness, and study plan for the certification exam.
As the academic requirements for the psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner (PMHNP) are coming close to a conclusion, there are steps to take before entering the workforce as a PMHNP after graduation from school (Park, Athey, Pericak, Pulcini, & Greene, 2018). the steps to be acknowledged as a nurse practitioner can be stressful and challenging because of the entry-level competency-based examination. The exam tests clinical knowledge to uphold the highest standards for certification of nurse practitioners (NPS), which is set by the American Academy of Nurse Practitioners Certification Program's (AANPCP) (Meadows, & Schumann, 2014). Moreover, to meet the requirements, it appropriate to study diligently by having a study plan, including knowing your strength and weakness (Wheeler 2014).
My strength will be reflecting on the practicum experiences and focusing on ways to study for other certification exams and feelings about what happened during those exams, which will guide me. Through that, I will know what I will do to make sure the oncoming certification exam will succeed on the first attempt. Furthermore, analyzing what I have learned in class and the practice test question results is another strength that can make me pass the upcoming exam. Through practice test question results, I was able to view my weakness, which will help me know which concepts to put more emphasis on. Also, joining some discussion groups and exam reviews which are going will make me excel.
Some things are essential when preparing a study plan so that one can excel in the certification exam. I will require personally to be prepared, for instance, being sure that I have adequate sleep and rest; Studies have shown that lack of sleep can significantly impact our cognitive state of mind (Spira, Chen-Edinboro, Wu, & Yaffe, 2014). I must rest adequately to help me focus and attain information and make sure that I grasp all the valuable contents for the certification exam, creating a timetable that I will follow to put the necessary weights in all topics. The study plan will be personalized to make sure that I am meeting the requirements, which will help me to schedule my time for learning at least four -hour session daily in which that I will focus on at least two to three topics, including treatments to make sure that I do not get bored in the process.
One of my primary goals is to be competent in the areas required to pass the certification exam and pass my certification exam on the first attempt. To ac ...

One of the most important ways we can strengthen our relationships w.docxdunhamadell
One of the most important ways we can strengthen our relationships with others is to show our respect by actively listening. By the same token, when we feel heard, we also tend to feel respected. Thus, it is helpful to learn the essential skills of being a good listener, allowing us not only to listen actively, but also model that process to others and be able to ask them to do the same for us. Here are the steps to active listening:
Listen to understand (rather than to formulate an answer/comeback).
Clear your mind and remain silent (offering visual and verbal feedback that shows you are listening).
Ask the person to expand or clarify (Tell me more... Could you give me an example? How did you feel... What happened next?).
Reflect the other person's thoughts and feelings (It sounds like.... Have I got that right?)
Now complete this journal entry.
Click on the Submit Assignment button in the top right of this window and type your journal entry into the text box. When finished, click the Submit Assignment button at the bottom of the the page.

I'm going to attempt to evalutate the Mona Lisa by Leonardo da Vinci. This is totally foreign to me and I feel vulnerable trying to answer these questions! Any help or better insight to this stuff would be much appreciated.
From the perspective of a descriptive critic I would comment on the lack of lines and use of shadowing to create separation. The colors are very muted throughout the piece with the exception of her skin. Her skin appears to glow in contrast to her clothes and the background giving the painting a lot of value (if I'm using that term correct)? Leonardo made her in the shape of an isosceles triangle with her shoulders turned slightly to give her a posed position and not a relaxed position (Jacobus & Martin, 2019).
From the perspective of an interpretive critic I would comment that it is the most famous piece of artwork in the world because of her unknown identity and smile. "It is thought to be of Lisa Gherardini, wife of a Florentine cloth merchant named Francesco del Giocondo," (Scailliérez, 2020). When Leonardo finished the painting, he gave the painting to France. The emotion responsible for her smile will always be a mystery and speculating on it never gets old. Leonardo also broke away from outlining images and used the technique sfumato which uses blending, layering, and transitions that are impossible to see (Mona Lisa, n.d.).
From the perspective of an evaluative critic I would comment that the form is fluid throughout the piece. Nothing sticks out in a bad way, Lisa just glows and her eyes are obviously the focus at first. Her gaze seems to captivate people and make people curious about her and what she's thinking. I would consider that point effective insight. This piece is obviously inexhaustable, has staying power in my own words, as it is studied in education and visited daily at The Louvre.

SELF-DIRECTED LEARNING PLAN
The Self-Directed Learning Plan (SDLP) is a process and document to chronicle your accomplishments and learning steps through the MSN program and beyond as they relate to your professional goals.
The SDLP will help you to identify and target the array of competencies you need to reach your professional objectives and to help you organize your Kaplan MSN learning experience to suit your career objectives.
The SDLP will be a section of your Program Portfolio, so take some quality introspective time to consider strengths and areas of development relevant to your career objectives. Knowing your strengths and areas to develop, you can begin a plan to find out what you need to do to achieve your career goals. We encourage you to continue to reflect on the identified areas throughout the MSN program. If you feel strength or development area is no longer relevant, you may add another to take its place. At any time, you may also add additional areas.

Professional Goal (3-5 years) from now: My long-term goal (7-10 years) is to open my own practice offering primary care to patients across populations suffering from common to acute to chronic illnesses. In this case, my 3 to 5 years professional goals must fit in this plan. They include completing my MSN program, getting my NP licensure and finding suitable settings, preferably a busy hospital offering all-round NP services from which I can garner ample experience to enable me open my own practice. This implies not just hands on care, but leadership/managerial skills that would be critical in helping me direct healthcare services delivered in my practice.
Knowledge that prepares a graduate student for an advanced nursing role:
Knowledge of background in humanities and sciences, as it pertains to NP. This is upon recognizing that NPs prepared at graduate/master’s level should be reading to integrate genetics, organization sciences, biopsychosocial fields, public health and scientific findings derived from nursing to continually improve delivery of nursing care in various settings. Knowledge of system, as well as, organizational and personal leadership is critical to enable an NP direct safe, cost conscious and quality patient care at a personal and organizational level. Considering that NPs must deal with complex issues and deliver comprehensive care, knowledge of integrating and translating research into practice is needed to enable NPs use best-evidence practice to resolve dire patient and clinical settings problems. NPs must also have the knowledge of how healthcare technologies and informatics are used to enable them enhance communication and care to increase efficiency and effectiveness. This also goes for knowledge of advocacy and healthy policy to be able to engage themselves in policy development at organizational and political level to advance NP practice, ...

Background
Ms. L is an 87-year-old African American woman who was diagnosed with vulvar cancer at the beginning of 2017. She is also HIV-positive. By the time Ms. L engaged in care, the cancer had proliferated quite quickly in the setting of a compromised immune system. Upon discovery of the Stage 4 cancer, doctors recommended a dose of radiation and chemotherapy. However, during the course of this episode Ms. L was struggling with substance use. During her hospitalization, she tested positive for a number of substances, including heroin and cocaine. As a result, care providers had many discussions about pain management and which pain medications could be given to her. She was not on methadone treatment maintenance at first, so she was self-medicating to address her pain. While Ms. L wanted to seek help for her addiction to substances, some of the traditional models were not appropriate given the magnitude of her physical issues. There were expectations that she would get into outpatient treatment but she did not follow through, primarily because it was difficult for her to tolerate being in groups for long periods. (Given the location of her cancer, she could not sit upright for long periods or on the bus for transportation.) Ultimately, Lawanda Williams, Director of Housing Services at Health Care for the Homeless in Baltimore, Maryland,.

Advanced Practice Nurse (APN) Professional Development Plan
Advance Practice Nurse (APN) Professional Development Plan
The role of an advanced practice nurse (APN) plays a vital part in the United States health care system. APN’s are highly trained registered nurses with advanced graduate-level education. Earning a masters degree or doctorate degree in nursing allows APN’s to apply advanced knowledge in decision-making for complex cases with a large degree of independence. There are 4 main practice roles of specialization within nursing. Whether a nurse practitioner (NP), clinical nurse specialist (CNS), certified nurse anesthetist (CRNA), or a certified nurse midwife (CNM), each play a crucial role in the future of health care. Although each role requires different training and skills, they are equally complex and require high levels of critical thinking, decision-making, and independence (Hanlon, 2015).
It is important for a NP to understand the different roles of an APN and utilize the knowledge and skills to develop a professional development plan (PDP). A PDP allows for self-analysis and leadership development by setting goals and personal objectives, and assessing the importance of being a leader. This paper will review the APN scope of practice in the state of Florida, provide a personalized assessment reflecting strengths, weaknesses, goals, and objectives, strategies for advancement of the profession, Curriculum vitae, and concluding with a summary of the essential components of the APN professional development plan.
Advance Practice Nurse Scope of Practice – State of Florida
APN practice is defined by the Nurse Practice Act and governed by the Board of Nursing. There are laws and regulations that may impact practice, for example, the location where one practice’s. NP’s are required to abide by each state’s guidelines that govern the role of advance practice nurses. The definition of the role and scope of practice guidelines for a NP vary from state to state. It is understandable that state definitions may convey confusion related to the role separation, competency, emphasis, approach, and variation of a CNP. As the number of advanced practice nurses and the tasks performed by these individuals continues to grow, the importance of duty clarity is essential. Ensuring a clear understanding of expectations is imperative for nursing to have an impact on the delivery of health care services.
The state of Florida defines the role of a CNP as “any person licensed in this state to practice professional nursing and certified in advanced or specialized nursing practice, including certified registered nurse anesthetists, certified nurse mid-wives, and nurse practitioners” (Buppert, 2015). To become certified as a NP in Florida, one must hold a valid registered nurse license with a Bachelors Degree in Science recognized by the Board of Nursing. Once enrolled in a NP.

I would like to welcome the faculty and course members to this presentation of a topic that I am passionate about as a current faculty member. This project will explain in detail the need for a standardized placement tool for academic settings and hospitals to use.

Current difficulty placing students in the clinical setting
Limited sites for faculty led/preceptor led clinical
Disorganized Process of placement of students
Current placement is done individually by each site and it time intensive
Current process shows favoritism
Summary of Practicum Project Topic
As a former student I have felt the pains of placement for students in the clinical setting. As a faculty member I have been exposed to the difficulties that placing students has placed on the colleges and faculty, and the hospitals that host students. The difficulties are in the following areas:
Lack of qualified faculty willing to be flexible in unique clinical times (weekends/nights)
Poor communication between the school/hospital
Time extensive placement for current process ( School sends a request, hospitals wait for requests from all colleges before approving, placement approvals/denial sent back to college). This process can take up to months for a response.
Due to the poor communication sites are limited as managers don’t respond timely so sites go without students on site
The faculty from each college and placement coordinators from each hospital all meet monthly to discuss process. At this meeting it was discovered that one hospital places favoritism to the college associated with them and also the technical college as they have tenure with them. This makes fair placement an issue.
In the Greater Green Bay Healthcare Alliance meeting I presented the proposed topic for approval on April 8, 2016. The above listed issues were discussed and all members agreed to provide data to make placement a standardized process. All faculty and placement coordinators agree to provide all data available to create a useful tool that can be used by all members for student clinical placement.

Nursing Career Planning
Individual career planning is essential in the transitional journey from being a student to becoming a professional in your chosen career. I can imagine that it will be challenging as a nursing student to transition from school to the practice setting, but with perseverance, guidance and mentoring from fellow nurses and nurse managers my professional development will be successful. In this paper, I will discuss how I will transition as a nursing student into the nursing profession in my home state of Florida and outline my goals for lifelong learning, career development and advancement. Additionally, the paper will discuss how I will aim to achieve balance including the stressors and challenges that I may encounter in both my professional and personal life.
Transition To Nursing Profession
Each qualified and registered nurse needs to assume an essential part in the nursing profession. Individual responsibility and due ingenuity is principal. Along these lines, one ought to arrange as needs be for self-awareness and improvement lifelong learning by taking part in testing undertakings and reports that will make somebody progress in his profession. I will have a consistent professional improvement that will be indicated by expert inputs and occupation examinations directed at the work environment every year. I will involve myself in challenging activities and undertakings to help me in developing and building up the professional skills and knowledge (Feldman, 2003, p. 38). At last, in all the professional practices and viewpoints, I ought to be guided by the rule of genuineness and integrity as per the nursing codes. I ought to work decently with no inclinations and have an interest in feedback, as this is the thing that shows me areas of weakness and strengths for professional development (Drucker and Institute, 2013, p. 13). I will be guided entirely by the nursing code of practice, ethical codes and work standards as outlined by the National Council of State Boards of Nursing.
I have to take into consideration the advancement of nursing as a profession to only my personal development. In each angle, I ought to further my studies so that I can do research in specific areas that will add the fund of knowledge in nursing and improve evidenced-based practice in the clinical settings. Every one of the components where I feel that I am knowledgeable and skilled I should record it as a strength and for weaknesses I will indicate them as areas for improvement. As a nurse I need to collaborate with others since I cannot work alone to improve the profession but also it will provide me with a chance to comprehend themselves b ...

Study Plan
Throughout my educational career, I strived to prioritize my time and committed to learning the course curriculum's content in depth to succeed in my career and understand the decisions and impact in adequately diagnosing and treating patients accurately as a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner (PMHNP). The purpose of this paper is to analyze my strength, weakness, and study plan for the certification exam.
As the academic requirements for the psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner (PMHNP) are coming close to a conclusion, there are steps to take before entering the workforce as a PMHNP after graduation from school (Park, Athey, Pericak, Pulcini, & Greene, 2018). the steps to be acknowledged as a nurse practitioner can be stressful and challenging because of the entry-level competency-based examination. The exam tests clinical knowledge to uphold the highest standards for certification of nurse practitioners (NPS), which is set by the American Academy of Nurse Practitioners Certification Program's (AANPCP) (Meadows, & Schumann, 2014). Moreover, to meet the requirements, it appropriate to study diligently by having a study plan, including knowing your strength and weakness (Wheeler 2014).
My strength will be reflecting on the practicum experiences and focusing on ways to study for other certification exams and feelings about what happened during those exams, which will guide me. Through that, I will know what I will do to make sure the oncoming certification exam will succeed on the first attempt. Furthermore, analyzing what I have learned in class and the practice test question results is another strength that can make me pass the upcoming exam. Through practice test question results, I was able to view my weakness, which will help me know which concepts to put more emphasis on. Also, joining some discussion groups and exam reviews which are going will make me excel.
Some things are essential when preparing a study plan so that one can excel in the certification exam. I will require personally to be prepared, for instance, being sure that I have adequate sleep and rest; Studies have shown that lack of sleep can significantly impact our cognitive state of mind (Spira, Chen-Edinboro, Wu, & Yaffe, 2014). I must rest adequately to help me focus and attain information and make sure that I grasp all the valuable contents for the certification exam, creating a timetable that I will follow to put the necessary weights in all topics. The study plan will be personalized to make sure that I am meeting the requirements, which will help me to schedule my time for learning at least four -hour session daily in which that I will focus on at least two to three topics, including treatments to make sure that I do not get bored in the process.
One of my primary goals is to be competent in the areas required to pass the certification exam and pass my certification exam on the first attempt. To ac ...

One of the most important ways we can strengthen our relationships w.docxdunhamadell
One of the most important ways we can strengthen our relationships with others is to show our respect by actively listening. By the same token, when we feel heard, we also tend to feel respected. Thus, it is helpful to learn the essential skills of being a good listener, allowing us not only to listen actively, but also model that process to others and be able to ask them to do the same for us. Here are the steps to active listening:
Listen to understand (rather than to formulate an answer/comeback).
Clear your mind and remain silent (offering visual and verbal feedback that shows you are listening).
Ask the person to expand or clarify (Tell me more... Could you give me an example? How did you feel... What happened next?).
Reflect the other person's thoughts and feelings (It sounds like.... Have I got that right?)
Now complete this journal entry.
Click on the Submit Assignment button in the top right of this window and type your journal entry into the text box. When finished, click the Submit Assignment button at the bottom of the the page.

Provide feedback on whether you agree or disagree with their criticism. Explain why. Build on their posts by providing additional insight of your own
I'm going to attempt to evalutate the Mona Lisa by Leonardo da Vinci. This is totally foreign to me and I feel vulnerable trying to answer these questions! Any help or better insight to this stuff would be much appreciated.
From the perspective of a descriptive critic I would comment on the lack of lines and use of shadowing to create separation. The colors are very muted throughout the piece with the exception of her skin. Her skin appears to glow in contrast to her clothes and the background giving the painting a lot of value (if I'm using that term correct)? Leonardo made her in the shape of an isosceles triangle with her shoulders turned slightly to give her a posed position and not a relaxed position (Jacobus & Martin, 2019).
From the perspective of an interpretive critic I would comment that it is the most famous piece of artwork in the world because of her unknown identity and smile. "It is thought to be of Lisa Gherardini, wife of a Florentine cloth merchant named Francesco del Giocondo," (Scailliérez, 2020). When Leonardo finished the painting, he gave the painting to France. The emotion responsible for her smile will always be a mystery and speculating on it never gets old. Leonardo also broke away from outlining images and used the technique sfumato which uses blending, layering, and transitions that are impossible to see (Mona Lisa, n.d.).
From the perspective of an evaluative critic I would comment that the form is fluid throughout the piece. Nothing sticks out in a bad way, Lisa just glows and her eyes are obviously the focus at first. Her gaze seems to captivate people and make people curious about her and what she's thinking. I would consider that point effective insight. This piece is obviously inexhaustable, has staying power in my own words, as it is studied in education and visited daily at The Louvre.

One of the main jobs of historians is to interpret the past by reviewing primary documents, scholarly secondary sources, and then creating an analysis of this research. After reading your text and reviewing the assigned materials, consider each of the following assessments of the Emancipation Proclamation. Do agree or disagree with each of the four statements regarding the Emancipation Proclamation? Why? Be sure to consider the context of the author in your analysis.
"The act makes clear that the lives of our heroes have not been sacrificed in vain. It makes a victory of our defeats." Ralph Waldo Emerson (1862)
"We show our sympathy with slavery by emancipating slaves where we cannot reach them and holding them in bondage where we can set them free." William Seward (1863)
"[The Emancipation Proclamation was] the central act of my administration [and] the great event of the nineteenth century." Abraham Lincoln (1865)
"I cannot swallow whole the view of Lincoln as the 'Great Emancipator.' Anyone who actually reads the Emancipation Proclamation knows it was more a military necessity than a clarion call for justice." Barack Obama (2005)
This assignment should be at least 300 words and contain your reactions or questions about some specific issue within the historical narrative which you find compelling. For full credit, your paper must not simply sum up the reading or repeat points made there. Rather, I’m looking for you to create your own interpretation, or discuss some original insight.

One of the examples I chose for my readings was, For Coloured .docxdunhamadell
One of the examples I chose for my readings was, “ For Coloured girls who have considered suicide/ when the rainbow is Enuf” by poet Ntozake Shanges. Shanges writes the excerpt in the first person. I enjoy writing stories in the first person. When writing in the first person everything is told intimately. The expert is about cruelty in a racist and sexist society. It is obvious from the name of the title the poet uses race to form an important part of the character’s identity. In the excerpt, she describes the lady that enters the stage as the “lady in Brown” and their racial identity and gender and only identified by their color have an effect, the perspective through which the readers experience all of the different narratives. Shanges uses common abbreviations and occasional derivations from traditional English as well as jargon and metaphors. This helps to reveal who the social group is. The use of language helps the protagonist express their feelings or explain their way of thinking. Shanges uses language that is very distinctive which makes the character’s voice very powerful. This excerpt has many similarities to the novel that I will be working on. The novel I will work on is in the first person and the theme is about discrimination and the injustices of human beings. I am happy I got a chance to read this excerpt, it was very powerful and gave me some ideas that I will most likely use for my novel.
Choose one example from the Module Four resources that you find most interesting. Discuss the influence of the narrative voice on your reading experience. Make sure to provide an excerpt that you think embodies the narrative voice used in your text.
In response to your peers, discuss how you could use this narrative voice in your own writing. For example, how might you apply techniques for using third-person limited point of view? How might you convey an unreliable, first-person narrator? Or do you think you could even use this type of narrative voice? If not, why not?
odule Three, you discussed methods of structuring narrative. Module Four focuses on how that narrative is told (as in, through whose means of perception) as well as the characters that populate it. Character has been called the “most important” element of creative writing (Stern 96), while point of view has been called the most “complex” (Burroway 276). Both address the who—who tells the piece, and who it is about. Sometimes, the two are one and the same, as with the first-person central narrator who tells a story about himself or herself. Often, however, they are different entities entirely—a narrative written in third-person limited or third-person omniscient point of view tells a story about other characters, for example, and a first-person peripheral narrator tells a story from a secondary character’s point of view. But even when the character and point of view are distinctly separate, the two elements, like everything else in a creative work, are inextricably .

One of the many reasons social workers conduct needs assessment is to provide support for new programs. Social workers have many methods available to collect necessary data for a needs assessment.
Social workers can use existing data from a wide range of sources, including local and national reports by government and nonprofit agencies, as well as computerized mapping resources. Social workers can gather new data through interviews and surveys with individuals and focus groups. This data can provide the evidence that supports the need for the program.
To prepare for this Assignment, review the needs assessment plans that you and your classmates generated for this week’s Discussion. Also, review the logic models that you created in Week 7 and any literature on needs of caregivers that you used to generate them. Consider the following to stimulate your thinking:
Getting information about the needs of the target population:
Who would informants be?
What is your purpose for interacting with them?
What questions would you ask?
What method would you use (interview, focus group, questionnaire)?
Finding potential clients:
Who would informants be?
What is your purpose for interacting with them?
What questions would you ask?
What method would you use?
Interacting with the target population:
Who would informants be?
What is your purpose for interacting with them?
What questions would you ask?
What method would you use?
By Day 7
Submit
a 2- to 3-page paper outlining a hypothetical needs assessment related to the support group program for caregivers. Include the following:
The resources needed to operate this service
The program activities
The desired outcomes
A plan for gathering information about the population served
Justifications for your plans and decisions
A one-paragraph conclusion describing how you might conduct a follow-up to the needs assessment at the implementation stage of the program evaluation

one 2-3 page essay (typed and double-spaced). Your essay should have a brief introduction followed by several paragraphs – one major point for each paragraph – and a short conclusion.
Topic:
Explicate this passage by Rose Schneiderman (it comes from Todd’s “Remembering the Unknowns”). You answer should include a brief discussion of Schneiderman, who she was and the context in which she was speaking. (You should find this information in the article and not on Wikipedia.) Who was she talking to when she made this speech? What does she mean when she says that public officials “have the workhouse just back of all their warnings”? Why does she say that she “can’t talk fellowship” with those who organized the meeting (and were sitting in the orchestra seats)? Your answer should include a discussion of social class.
I would be a traitor to those poor burned bodies if I were to come
here and talk good fellowship. . . . We have tried you citizens; we
are trying you now and you have a couple of dollars for the sorrowing
mothers and brothers and sisters by way of a charity gift. But every
time the workers come out in the only way they to protest against
conditions which are unbearable, the strong hand of law is allowed to
press down heavily upon us. Public officials have only words of warning
or us – warning that we must be intensely peaceable, and they have the
workhouse just back of all their warnings. The strong hand of the law
beats us back when we rise. . .. I can’t talk fellowship to you who are
gathered here. Too much blood has been spilled. I know from my
experience it is up to the working people to save themselves. And the
only way is through a strong working-class movement (Todd, 67).

On the tomcat drive in folder cosc210 you will find file named Paint.docxdunhamadell
On the tomcat drive in folder cosc210 you will find file named PainterStartup.zip. This file contains the source code for the start of a Painter program. In its current state, Painter can create boxes and text objects at given locations. Both boxes and text objects can be repositioned and resized using a mouse. The task is to add to the program the implementation for an oval, line, image, and group objects.
Instructions:
Add an oval object. An oval is very similar in implementation as the box, except it renders an oval instead of a rectangle. The oval can be repositioned by dragging the object to a new location. The oval can be resized by first clicking over the oval to display grab handles and then dragging a grab handle to a new position. The grab handles are to be rendered at the same positions as the box. Likewise, clicking anywhere in the smallest rectangle that encloses the oval performs selection.
Add a Line object. A Line is to be created by selecting a Line tool and then click and drag over the canvas. The line is rendered from the point of the initial click to the mouse pointer. On releasing the mouse the construction of the line object is completed. A partial implementation of a PtrDrawLine object is provided. You will need to fix the rendering, click over, and test for inside a rectangle.
A Line is selected by clicking anywhere over the line. Right now if you click anywhere in the rectangular region hold the line, then the line is selected. The implementation is in the isOver method. This needs to be fixed to only select when the click is on the line.
Given below is a partial solution to determine if a mouse click position (the x and y parameters to the isOver method) is over a line:
double ratio = (double) getDeltaY( ) / (double) getDeltaX( );
if (Math.abs(((x - getX( )) * ratio) - (y - getY( ))) <= 1) {
return true;
}
You need to modify this code when the y to x ratio is less than -1 or greater than 1. (hint: Inverse the roles of x and y)
The isInside method provides the implementation for determining if the line is inside a rectangular area as specified by the parameters. This code does not work right if the ending point of the line is to the left or above the starting point. Fix this to work in all cases.
Add an Image object. An Image object is created by selecting an Image tool and then clicking anywhere on the canvas. On clicking the canvas, a File Selection Dialog should be displayed. The dialog prompts for selection of .gif and .jpg files. On selecting a .gif or .jpg file and clicking “Open”, an Image object that renders the image of the selected file is created at the click position. Image selection and drag behaviors are the same as a Box object. The image object additionally renders lines at the edges of the image (as done in Box).
The code for displaying a File Selection Dialog is:
JFileChooser fileChooser = new JFileChooser();

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

Introduction
7. Despite the American working system seemingly becoming
complex to most of its working-class citizens, there are still
ways of maintaining a competitive advantage in the workplace.
An article by Bradley University explains that the transition to
or from an MSN program can be one of the toughest events to
individuals who are not perfectly prepared. The article
highlights that an individual must be both psychologically and
emotionally ready to encounter such challenges through a
thorough academic background.
Academic Resource/Strategy 1
Being always on top of assignments.
One must be able to possess educational strategies such as being
always on top of assignments. This aspect is most helpful in
that environment where there is stiff competition, and people
are majorly scrambling for the limited resources available.
Being on top of the assignments given will not only make me be
in favor of the seniors and the supervisors, but it will also
create some sense of seriousness in the eyes of the supervisors
and the seniors.
Academic Resource/Strategy 2
The second strategy is the element of schedule creation.
Coming up with a schedule ahead of the stipulated time for the
exercise can be a perfect head start for people who have
challenges in starting or keeping up with the exercise. A
schedule will not only act as a reminder but will also ensure
that I am always ahead of time.
Academic Resource/Strategy 3
The third strategy is to focus on self-care.
Self-care is a very important strategy when someone is keen on
advancing a career more so since it involves much of holistic
8. development both mentally and emotionally.
Professional Resource/Strategy 1
The first professional resource that might be helpful is the vast
knowledge and access to the nursing research database
(CINAHL Plus with Full Text, Medline).
These are database that is equipped with the necessary and
relevant information that is helpful towards the advancement of
the career in nursing.
Professional Resource/Strategy 2
The second important resource is the attendance of the annual
conference.
Some of the notable annual conferences include the AANP
Specialty and Leadership Conference, the National Student
Nurses Association Annual Conference, and the American
Association of Nurse Practitioners.
Professional Resource/Strategy 3
The third resource is board review courses.
These are courses that may prove helpful in building a
competent long-term legacy in the nursing field. Some of these
board review courses include Advanced Practice Education
Associates (Hollier), Core Concepts Anesthesia Review, and
Marye Dorsey Kellerman’s Necessary NP Review.
How can one use these resources?
The mentioned resources can be used to the advancement of a
career in MSN through various aspects. For instance, knowledge
and access to the nursing database can be beneficial in being
updated with whatever the field has been up to on a periodical
basis. This aspect helps to ensure that I keep in line with the
required changes. Attendance of annual nursing conferences can
be helpful in building my networks and gaining more knowledge
and information while engaging in board review courses can be
9. used as a platform for my career advancement through being
ahead of fellow nurses.
Conclusion
As an aspiring or a practicing nurse, it very important for me to
be up to date with some of the possible professional resources
in the field. These are the components that are highly effective
in ensuring that I am competent in the field through frequent
updates and follow-ups. Every aspiring MSN nurse in the
country should be able to at least observe any of the mentioned
academic strategies or be in full practice of the professional
resources mentioned. This is because of the competitive nature
of the nursing field, where being ahead is the key to success.

Week 3 | Part 3: Strategies to Promote Academic Integrity and
Professional Ethics
I have analyzed the relationship between academic integrity and
writing, as well as the relationship between professional
practices and scholarly ethics. I have also identified strategies I
intend to pursue to maintain integrity and ethics of my academic
10. work while a student of the MSN program, as well as my
professional work as a nurse throughout my career. The results
of these efforts are shared below.
Directions: In the space below craft your analysis/writing
sample, including Part 1 (The Connection Between Academic
and Professional Integrity) and Part 2 (Strategies for
Maintaining Integrity of Work). Utilize headings formatted in
proper APA throughout each Part to clearly identify key topic
area requirements.
Remember to include an introduction paragraph which contains
a clear and comprehensive purpose statement which delineates
all required criteria, and end the assignment Part with a
conclusion paragraph.
Part 1: Writing Sample: The Connection Between Academic and
Professional Integrity
In the space below write a 2- 3-paragraph analysis that includes
the following:
· Clearly and accurately explains in detail the relationship
between academic integrity and writing.
· Clearly and accurately explains in detail the relationship
between professional practices and scholarly ethics.
· Accurately cite at least 2 resources that fully support your
arguments, being sure to use proper APA formatting.
· Use Grammarly and SafeAssign to improve the product.
· Clearly and accurately describe in detail how Grammarly,
SafeAssign, and paraphrasing contributes to academic integrity.
Include sufficient evidence that Grammarly and SafeAssign
were utilized to improve responses.
Academic writing and academic integrity remain to be two
11. important terms that correlate in any given set up, which
involves both professional and academic prospects. But what is
the actual connection between these two terms? Academic
integrity, just from the name, is all about the general
observation of ethics when it comes to matters to do with
academic work. This aspect can be observed in various aspects,
which involves individuals coming up with means of protecting
the actual cause of academic prospects. Bauer College of
Business (2019) expounds that academic integrity is all about
doing the right thing even when there is no one on the lookout
in an academic set-up. They say that it is all about upholding all
the values associated with academic prospects and achievement,
such as honesty and truthfulness. Academic writing, on the
other hand, is the actual observance of academic integrity and
requirements in a piece of writing. This may involve observing
certain written codes and values that must be used to write an
academic piece while observing academic integrity. These two
components correlate in the aspect that for one to successfully
achieve academic writing, he or she must have practiced
academic integrity. One cannot achieve the writing part without
the integrity part.
What is the relation between professional practices and
scholarly ethics? In a medical set-up, professional practices can
be interpreted to mean those attributes that define people
formally observe when inter4acting with fellow workers in a
professional set-up. Scholarly ethics is the aspect of observing
academically approved interactive methods to explain or outline
a concept within a professional set-up. Mackenzie (2017)
outlines that for a successful prospect in any typical
professional condition, one must observe scholarly ethics to
achieve professional practices.
Grammarly and SafeAssign are essential tools in the process of
writing that need to be used for one to be able to come up with
quality and original work. SafeAssign tools can point out the
mistakes made by highlighting them. However, Grammarly can
point out the level of plagiarism and give a comprehensive
12. report of the research paper that is ready for submission. The
word counts in the paper can also be seen. While using
Grammarly, a student can fix spelling, punctuation, grammar
mistakes, and sentence structures. The presence of these tools
makes it easier for students to submit a high-quality original
paper.
PART 2: Strategies for Maintaining Integrity of Work
Expand on your thoughts from Part 1 by:
· Clearly identifying and accurately describing strategies you
intend to pursue to maintain integrity and ethics of your 1)
academic work while a student of the MSN program, and 2)
professional work as a nurse throughout your career.
· Include a clearly developed review of resources and
approaches you propose to use as a student and a professional.
As a student of MSN program, certain strategies are necessary
to maintain integrity both in the profession and in the outside
world. Dworkowitz (2013) outlines that one can observe
strategies such as sticking to one’s values. The idea of having
values is very important in the maintenance of work integrity.
This involves aspects such as observing the idea of working on
deadlines on time and having a good relationship with everyone
within the workplace. Sticking to one’s value can also be
beneficial in ensuring that one does not succumb to unnecessary
pressures since one will be able to conduct his or her affairs
within the stipulated timeframe. Secondly, one can avoid moral
complexities that may be experienced within a professional set
up, such as in the MSN. Moral complexities can easily confuse
individuals into making tough decisions that may ruin a
professional prospect, and in this case, the element of simplicity
may be key to ease such complications.
13. In nursing practice, integrity in the workplace can further be
achieved through various other aspects. For instance, a nurse
can choose to maintain social and emotional contact with the
patients to improve the wellbeing of the patients. This will
promote an ethical relationship with the patients, which is an
important part of professional ethics. Secondly, one can choose
to observe integrity by overcoming certain barriers that are
associated with the various daily work schedule. This can
include aspects such as sticking to the planned schedule and not
involving various attributes that might not be beneficial to
achieving an open discussion platform within the institution. An
effective professional strategy in the nursing platform should
further be enhanced with a perfect working mechanism in the
workplace that involves coming up with plans that will ease the
tension in the working environment.

Notes
Gives detailed account on what is likely to be encountered by
doctors administering mental health related issues
Does not outline some of the obvious challenges that such care
givers encounter daily within the scope of their work.
The article is relevant towards giving the details on individual
wishing to pursue psychiatric mental health practitioning. This
aspect is because it provides detailed and substantial elements
that the practice encounters in a technical scope.
Step 2: Summary of Analysis
· Write a 2- to 3-paragraph summary that you will add to your
Academic Success and Professional Development Plan that
includes the following:
· Clearly and accurately describe in detail your approach to
16. identifying and analyzing peer-reviewed research.
· Clearly identify and accurately describe in detail at least two
strategies that you would use that you found to be effective in
finding peer-reviewed research.
· Provide a complete, detailed, and specific synthesis of at least
one resource you intend to use in the future to find peer-
reviewed research.
· Integrate at least one outside resource and 2-3 course specific
resources to fully support your summary.
Just like any other professional health practice, mental health
care is a vital part in the health care system which requires
practitioners to be well equipped. The general idea of coming
up with a well strategy to be used by mental health care givers
is to ensure that each and every aspect of the patients is well
taken care of. Additionally, it is also important to look into the
welfare of the mental care givers through considering various
aspects of their working environment which may involve
looking into the various aspects that affects their work directly.
In identifying another peer-reviewed research, it is important to
consider two strategies. The first strategy is on whether it is
specific on the roles required to be performed by mental care
givers. Does it look into what the IPEs will be required to do in
the event that there is need to make the care givers be updated
with the necessary requirements. Secondly, is that the article
must be in line with some of the laid down procedures and
requirements of mental health care givers within the required
jurisdiction. Is the guideline provided friendly to what majority
of the mental health personnel familiar with? With a perfect
strategy it is likely that a caregiver or a student will be in line
with the necessary provisions towards what it takes in ensuring
that mental health practitioners are in line with what is
generally required. Ideally, mental health resources should be
adequate in addressing some of the necessary improvements
within the scope of the sector.
One of the sources intended to be used is by Elis (2018) which
17. highlights Psychiatric-mental health nurse practitioner student
preceptorship: Perspectives on the clinical training. It is an
important choice of resource because it prepares students on
some of the major issues and challenges that are necessary in
the implementation of mental health care and care giving across
all spheres of nursing. Other key resources will include findings
on how the nurse’s attitude is likely to affect the working
mechanism and the output while the other resource will be on
why is it that urgent to come up with means of improving
mental health care and how are the mental healthcare
practitioners likely to survive with an improvement in the
sector.

Hobbies and Interests
I have a strong background in sports, where I played soccer on
the Campus Team. When time allows, I play soccer with friends
at a local club. In addition, I find fishing a relaxing pastime,
which I undertake at least once a week. It helps me to cool the
nerves and to ready them for my 12-hour shifts on weekdays.
When not playing soccer or fishing, I enjoy fictional thrillers
with a warm cup of green tea.
Step 2: Professional Development Goals
To complete the Master of Science in Nursing (MSN) program
with a specialization in Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner.
To acquire advanced nursing knowledge and skills in
psychology.
Step 3: Alignment with Social Change
.
One of the University’s commitments is to produce graduates
whose purpose is higher geared towards transforming the lives
of the patients under whose care they fall. In line with this
21. quest for social change, my primary professional development
goal is to complete the MSN program with a specialization in
Psychiatry. According to Hodgkinson, Godoy, Beers, and Lewin
(2016), many children in low-income areas experience mental
health problems but lack proper access to necessary care.
Therefore, I would like to help change this situation once I
attain my professional development goal. This way, I will be
fulfilling one of the University’s social change objectives.
Conclusion
An excellent professional development plan enables registered
nurses to have clear objectives and a defined line of trajectory.
As such, one can easily make adjustments as demands change.
This professional development plan lays out my future that is
built on my experience. Ultimately, it should guide me to the
attainment of set goals.
