Registered nurses (RNs) provide patient care in a variety of healthcare settings like hospitals, nursing homes, and private homes. Their duties include administering treatment, monitoring patient health, educating patients and families, and supervising other healthcare workers. To become an RN, one must complete an associate's or bachelor's degree in nursing and pass a licensure exam. Employment of RNs is expected to grow rapidly due to an aging population and advancements in healthcare technology. Experienced RNs may advance into management or become advanced practice nurses like nurse practitioners with additional education.

In April 1998, a small indigenous community began one of the earliest Community-managed Marine Protected Areas (MPA) in Fiji, beginning a decade of commitment to protecting reef life for future generations. The project was a founder member of the Fiji Locally Managed Marine Areas (FLMMA) network, and one of the few FLMMA projects to include an
income-generating community-managed tourism operation.
Annual biological monitoring since the project’s inception, undertaken by a team of scientists and community members,
utilised in-water survey methods, including Catch Per Unit Effort (CPUE) for key invertebrate species, Manta Tows for
broad-scale habitat and invertebrate assessment, Point Intercept Transects for coral cover, and Fish Underwater Visual Census (UVC). These surveys demonstrated increased fish populations within the MPA after 3 years, and increased invertebrate populations after 5 years. Fish and invertebrates important to local subsistence and commerce are harvested in the spill-over area near the MPA. Some poaching occurs inside the MPA, so far not significantly impacting overall populations, suggesting the ecosystem is now adequately robust to withstand some harvesting.
Coral growth was retarded by a bleaching event in 2000, but herbivory has reduced macroalgal cover within the MPA,
creating better coral-growth substrate, accelerating coral settlement and recovery in comparison with heavily fished areas where macroalgae covers most available substrate, preventing new coral settlement. A small coral restoration project is thriving inside the MPA.
Socio-economic surveys have shown the MPA to have economic and social importance to the local inhabitants, and the value of the MPA as a reserve for conservation and future fish stocks has been reinforced by the income-generating potential of eco-tourism activities.
Keywords: Community Managed Marine Areas, Ecotourism, Sustainable development, Long-term biological monitoring, Coral bleaching, Habitat phase shift.
Medical assisting continues to be one of the fastest growing occupations. Job prospects should be best
for medical assistants with formal training or experience, particularly those with certification.

As an expert in hospital management and administration i have written this book -Hospital Management is a new theory in management faculty. Earlier a senior doctor used to perform the role of a hospital manager. However, nowadays everything demands a specialist. Almost all the things related to hospital have changed. Many categories concerning medical sciences and hospital have altered totally. There are various types of hospitals today, including ordinary hospitals, specialty hospitals and super specialty hospitals. The categories are regarding to the types of facilities they offer to the people.

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.

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.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

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.
2. Registered nurses (RNs), regardless of specialty or work setting, treat patients, educate
patients and the public about various medical conditions, and provide advice and
emotional support to patients’ family members. Registered Nurses care for patients in a
variety of settings; hospitals, nursing homes and home care agencies all employ RNs for
patient care. RNs have a very important role and are often the sole individual in charge
during a shift in the facility. Some nurses also are heads of departments, such as skin
care, infection control and general health, in medical facilities. Some nurses have jobs
that require little or no direct patient care, but still require an active RN license. Here is a
breakdown of the various tasks/duties assigned to a RN:
Order, interpret, and evaluate diagnostic tests to identify and assess patient's
condition.
Monitor all aspects of patient care, including diet and physical activity.
Direct and supervise less skilled nursing/health care personnel, or supervise a
particular unit on one shift.
Prepare patients for, and assist with, examinations and treatments.
Observe nurses and visit patients to ensure that proper nursing care is provided.
Assess the needs of individuals, families and/or communities, including
assessment of individuals' home and/or work environments to identify potential
health or safety problems.
Instruct individuals, families and other groups on topics such as health education,
disease prevention and childbirth, and develop health improvement programs.
Prepare rooms, sterile instruments, equipment and supplies, and ensure that
stock of supplies is maintained.
Inform physician of patient's condition during anesthesia.
Deliver infants and provide prenatal and postpartum care and treatment under
obstetrician's supervision.
Administer local, inhalation, intravenous, and other anesthetics.
Provide health care, first aid, immunizations and assistance in convalescence
and rehabilitation in locations such as schools, hospitals, and industry.
Perform physical examinations, make tentative diagnoses, and treat patients in
route to hospitals or at disaster site triage centers.
Conduct specified laboratory tests.
…the tasks for an RN are endless.

3. Aspiring RNs can choose to pursue an associate's degree in nursing (ADN) or a
bachelor's degree in nursing. Some educational programs can be interwoven; an
individual who has earned an associate's degree, for instance, may pursue a Bachelor
of Science in Nursing (BSN) at any point in their careers by enrolling in an RN-to-BSN
program. Coursework in many RN programs cover the common work duties a
registered nurse is expected to perform. Initial courses are heavy on basic healthcare
principles and science.
Common program courses include:
•Health assessment
•Nursing types
•Patient care
•Child and infant care
ONE OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR BECOMING A REGISTERED NURSE IS COMPLETING A SUPERVISED
EMPLOYMENT EXPERIENCE AT A HOSPITAL, CLINIC OR HEALTHCARE FACILITY. AN EXPERIENCED
PROFESSIONAL OVERSEES THE STUDENT'S WORK AND OFFERS ADDITIONAL INSTRUCTION ON NURSING DUTIES,
PROTOCOL AND OTHER PROCEDURES.
Individuals who have completed an ADN program and have obtained licensure as a
registered nurse are equipped to work in the field. However, a BSN is required if a nurse
wants to advance in the profession. Obtaining a Master of Science in Nursing (MSN)
degree may lead to career advancement opportunities, such as clinical nurse
specialist, anesthetist nurse, midwife nurse and nurse practitioner.
The National Council of State Boards of Nursing (www.ncsbn.org) requires all nurses who
work in the United States to be licensed and/or registered. These requirements involve
graduating from an approved educational program and completing the licensure
examination. The National Council Licensure Examination includes both written and
practical tests, to ensure that future RNs are properly educated and prepared to
perform work duties. Additional licensure requirements may vary from state to state.

With about 2.2 million registered nurses employed in 2000, the career field is the largest
in the health care industry. 60% of registered nurses are employed in hospitals, with the
remainder employed in physician's offices and clinics, long term care facilities, and by
social service and governmental agencies. Employment of registered nurses is
expected to grow by 22 percent from 2008 to 2018, much faster than the average for
all occupations. Growth will be driven by technological advances in patient care,
which permit a greater number of health problems to be treated, and by an increasing
emphasis on preventive care. In addition, the number of older people, who are much
more likely than younger people to need nursing care, is projected to grow rapidly.
However, employment of RNs will not grow at the same rate in every industry. The
projected growth rates for RNs in the industries with the highest employment of these
workers are:
Offices of physicians- 48%, Home health care services- 33%, Nursing care facilities- 25%,
Employment services- 24%, Hospitals, public and private- 17%
Shahara_Wooten_Final_Project Page 4
5. Most RNs begin as staff nurses in hospitals and, with experience and good
performance, often move to other settings or are promoted to positions with more
responsibility. In management, nurses can advance from assistant unit manager or
head nurse to more senior-level administrative roles of assistant director, director, vice
president, or chief of nursing. Increasingly, management-level nursing positions require a
graduate or an advanced degree in nursing or health services administration.
Administrative positions require leadership, communication and negotiation skills, and
good judgment.
Some RNs choose to become advanced practice nurses, who work independently or in
collaboration with physicians, and may focus on providing primary care services. There
are four types of advanced practice nurses: clinical nurse specialists, nurse anesthetists,
nurse-midwives, and nurse practitioners. Clinical nurse specialists provide direct patient
care and expert consultations in one of many nursing specialties, such as psychiatric-
mental health. Nurse anesthetists provide anesthesia and related care before and after
surgical, therapeutic, diagnostic, and obstetrical procedures. They also provide pain
management and emergency services, such as airway management. Nurse-midwives
provide primary care to women, including gynecological exams, family planning
advice, prenatal care, assistance in labor and delivery, and neonatal care. Nurse
practitioners serve as primary and specialty care providers, providing a blend of nursing
and healthcare services to patients and families.
All four types of advanced practice nurses require at least a master's degree. In
addition, all States specifically define requirements for registered nurses in advanced
practice roles. Advanced practice nurses may prescribe medicine, but the authority to
prescribe varies by State. Contact your State’s board of nursing for specific regulations
regarding advanced practice nurses. Because of the number of specialties for
registered nurses, and the variety of responsibilities and duties, many other healthcare
occupations are similar in some aspects of their job. Some healthcare occupations with
similar levels of responsibility that work under the direction of physicians or dentists are:
Dental hygienists
Diagnostic medical sonographers
Emergency medical technicians and paramedics
Licensed practical and licensed vocational nurses
Physician assistants
