    In this scholarly article, Haden introduces his views on the exploitation and unfair compensation of student-athletes by the NCAA. Student-athletes receive absolutely no monetary compensation whatsoever; Hayden proposes a solution to this issue. Haden makes an excellent case stating, “each division I university incorporate “laundry money” into the scholarships of all their student-athletes” (680). The article explains that the best way to compensate student-athletes is to incorporate the use of laundry money into the student-athletes scholarship packages. By doing so, there are not any complications with NCAA rules and regulations therefore, making his article extremely beneficial to my topic. Haden’s views and proposed solution is very helpful for my topic because it has not appeared in any other text I have read. For this reason, he has helped me better understand my issue while also supporting the idea that student-athletes should be compensated for all of their time and effort dedicated to the…

    The journal makes reference to a lecture given by Charles M. Magistro, Director of Physical Therapy, Pomona Valley Community Hospital, presented at the Sixty-Third Annual Conference of the American Physical Therapy Association, San Antonio, TX, June 28-July 2, 1987. The paper initially deals with the growth of the profession over the years with Magistro emphasizing that "We physical therapists never must permit our profession to be jeopardized by failing to provide those services that justify our existence” (Magistro 1728). He explains that “The most urgent of these challenges is in the matter of education” (Magistro 1728), the issue is really affected by funding concerns proposing to readers to support the foundation’s fund-raising campaign to improve the quality of PT education. He was convinced that “the foundation had unlimited potential because its goals were tied so closely to the survival of our profession, specifically providing funding for research and scholarship activities” (Magistro 1731). The author is emphasizing the need to support the foundation to improve the profession in one way or another, a message that has made the article interesting and persuasive. This article sheds light on several issues in the physical therapy profession. Magistro makes his opinion very clear on the topic of physician referral for profit. “I remain deeply concerned about anything and everything that has the potential to debase our profession, whether it be the improper use of supportive personnel by our own members or the reaping of profits by practitioners outside of our profession from their unethical referral…

    Although the importance of family in the health of today’s society has been mentioned by many health care professionals, only since the mid-1990’s has the true significance of family in the well-being of humanity been fully recognized (Friedman, Bowden, & Jones, 2003). There has been “…little attention…paid to the family as an object of systematic study in nursing” (Friedman et al., 2003, p. 4). The health status of family members is directly influenced by the family, and vice versa (Friedman et al., 2003). Just as the concept of family used in one area of nursing practice may not be appropriate or helpful for a different area of practice, the theoretical foundation of family nursing used in one area may not be applicable in another.…
