The accounting cycle involves recording business transactions, preparing financial statements, and closing books at the end of each accounting period. It is based on key assumptions and principles including:
1) Transactions are recorded based on the accrual concept, which matches revenues to expenses in the period they are incurred regardless of when cash is received or paid.
2) Financial statements are prepared at the end of each period using the adjusted trial balance to provide an accurate picture of the company's financial position and performance.
3) The accounting equation (Assets = Liabilities + Equity) must always balance through double-entry bookkeeping, where every transaction has equal and offsetting debits and credits.

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.

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.

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.

Human Ecology, LAB #3
Name: __________________________
Cemetery lab, Human Demography
This laboratory exercise is adapted from the one created by
Nancy Flood and tested and presented by Charles N Horn for
the project Experiments to Teach Ecology (1993, edited by J.M.
Beiswenger), sponsored by the Ecological Society of America.
See the original Introduction and Objectives in Flood (1993).
Before reading this document, download the .pdf in Lab 3
Assignment folder first. You should read the original exercise
for general background information and this adaptation for
specific instructions. If you need assistance for this lab, contact
your instructor.
Methods – Data Collection
1. Select a cemetery in your community that you can visit to
collect data. If it is not possible for you to visit a cemetery in
person, please notify the instructor to obtain a dataset for
analysis.
13. 2. When visiting the cemetery, be aware and respectful of local
customs. Obtain permission if necessary, and do not disturb
persons who may be visiting the graves of relatives. Avoid areas
where a service is being held.
3. Choose two cohorts you can compare. Depending on the
cemetery, you may immediately be able to identify two cohorts
of interest. For example, perhaps one section of the cemetery
has graves from an earlier time period, or maybe people of
different ethnic groups were traditionally buried in different
sections of the cemetery. Here are some possible examples of
cohorts:
a. Persons born 1801-1820, versus persons born 1871-1890
b. Persons who died 1861-1870, versus persons who died 1916-
1925
c. Persons buried in a traditional European-American cemetery
1851-1900, versus persons buried in a traditional African-
American cemetery 1851-1900
d. Think of another example that is applicable to the cemetery
you are studying
4. Use Table 1 from Flood (1993) to collect the following
information from at least 100 tombstones: Birth Year, Death
Year, Age at Death, Sex
a. Many tombstones will list the Birth Year and Death Year.
Calculate Age at Death as (Death Year) – (Birth Year). For
purposes of this project, ignore the month and day of birth; just
use years. An infant who was born and died in the same year
will have an Age at Death of zero. You don’t have to do your
calculations while in the cemetery- as long as you collect Birth
14. Year and Death Year, you can calculate Age at Death later.
b. Some tombstones will list Age at Death and either Birth Year
or Death Year. Calculate Birth Year as (Death Year) – (Age at
Death). Calculate Death Year as (Birth Year) + (Age at Death).
c. If the tombstone doesn’t list enough information for you to
determine both Birth Year and Age at Death, go on to the next
tombstone. You need to have at least 100 tombstones for which
you have both Birth Year and Age at Death.
d. Determine sex from the name if reasonably obvious; Sarah
and Mary are probably females, and Thomas and William are
probably males. If the name is used for both males and females
(Tracy, Kimberly, Kelly, Cameron, etc), look for clues on the
epithet, such as “husband of …”, “daughter of …” If you are not
reasonably sure of the sex of the person, go on to the next
tombstone.
5. Try to get about half of your samples from each of the
cohorts you will be comparing. For example, if you are
comparing persons born 1801-1850 with persons born 1851-
1900, get about 50 from each group.

The cemetery contains one site dating from the 1600s, the grave
of the first royal governor of Maryland, but most of the
tombstones transcribed in the online database date from the
1800s and 1900s.

31. Methods – Data Analysis
1. Complete any remaining calculations, so that you have both
Birth Year and Age at Death for all individuals.
2. If you are comfortable with spreadsheets, you will probably
find it simple to enter your data as follows. You can then use
the spreadsheet sort function to easily tabulate your data.
Alternatively, you could tabulate the data by hand.

3. In Table A within this exercise, provide some background
information about the cemetery and cohorts you chose to study.
4. Summarize your data by filling in Table A, with each cohort
in its own section. Follow the example in Table B. Please note
that dx refers to the number of individuals who die within each
of the specified age intervals. For example, if 4 persons died
when between ages 0-9 at time of death, enter 4 in that cell. The
32. total number of deaths should equal the total number of
tombstones you counted.
5. The column labeled nx is for the number of persons alive at
the start of each interval. For the first interval (ages 0-9), all of
the persons are alive at the start, so that number is equal to the
total number of tombstones. For this column, it is easiest to
start from the bottom and work up. If you have any individuals
120 years or older at death, that number would go in the bottom
row. The row above (for individuals 110-119 years of age)
would be equal to the sum of nx for the row below plus dx for
the same row. For example, to calculate nx for age interval
x=11 (ages 110-119), calculate n11 = n12 + d11
6. Please note that nx as calculated above corresponds to lx as
listed in Flood (1993). We are using a more conventional
notation.
7. For each row, calculate lx as the proportion surviving to start
age interval x. For each row, this would be equal to the number
alive at the start of that interval (nx) divided by the total
number of persons in the cohort. Please note that the lx you
calculate is not the same as the lx calculated in Flood (1993);
we are using the more conventional notation.
8. For graphing, calculate the log10 of each lx multiplied by
1000. In effect, you are first calculating the number of persons
out of a starting 1000 who would survive to start each age
interval. You then place it on a log scale so you can see the
pattern more clearly in a graph. Note that the base 10 logarithm
of zero is undefined; we will graph that value as zero. Most
calculators have a log10 key, shown simply as log. If your
calculator does not have a log key, you can go to the Calculator
tools (under Accessories on a Windows computer) and choose
the Scientific view. Macintosh and Linux have similar scientific
calculator tools. The spreadsheet demgraph.xls will perform the
calculations for you.
33. 9. Graph the log10(1000*lx) on the y-axis and the age at the
start of each interval on the x axis. You may produce the graph
by hand using the axes on the next page, scan the picture, and
copy the picture file into this document. Alternatively, you may
produce a graph using the spreadsheet demgraph.xls on the
course website and copy the graph here.
Description of cohort 1:
_____________________________________
Description of cohort 2:
_____________________________________
Plot the data for cohorts 1 and 2, using different
colors/symbols/line styles for the two cohorts. For example,
plot cohort 1 with pink circles and connect with a solid line,
and plot cohort 2 with blue triangles and connect with a dashed
line. Please include a legend to identify which line refers to
which cohort. If you are copying a graph from Excel or another
program, you can delete the graph template below and paste in
the graph you produced in Excel.
Questions – Answer all five below:
1. Do the survivorship curves for your two cohorts differ from
one another? Describe and explain any differences. If there are
no discernable differences, explain why this may be the case.
2. Examine the survivorship curves provided with Table B.
These depict males and females separately for two cohorts of
persons buried in a church cemetery in St. Mary’s County,
Maryland. One cohort consists of persons born 1801-1850, and
34. persons in the other cohort were born 1851-1900. What
differences do you notice between the male and female curves
for the 1801-1850 cohort? Do you see a similar pattern in the
1851-1900 cohort? Is the pattern consistent with what you know
about male and female life expectancies in the USA today? Do
you observe a similar pattern in your own data set? If you have
enough males and females in your dataset, you may graph the
male-female data to help you answer the question. The
spreadsheet demgraph.xls has a worksheet (template- 4 lines on
graph) that will help you.
3. When examining a birth cohort (such as was done with the
example in Table B), it is important to follow the cohort
through the death of the last individual. How would your
survivorship curves be affected if you were to study a later birth
cohort, such as persons born 1901-1950?
4. When examining a death cohort (a hypothetical example
might be persons who died between 1916-1925), how would
your data be affected if the cemetery were a relatively new one?
5. In your data, do you see any evidence of events causing a
large number of deaths, such as wars or the influenza pandemic?
Why or why not?
79/83 = 0.9518
log10(951.8)=2.978549
63/83 = 0.759
7 persons in this cohort died when 50-59 years old
35. 18 = 14 + 4
