Mr. Malone

Deborah Byrd

UNIVERSITY MEDICAL CLINIC
MEMORANDUM
TO: Incoming Students
FROM: Deborah Byrd RN.
DATE: March 23, 2014
SUBJECT: Your Upcoming Graduation

As a recent Bryant Stratton College nursing student, I have recently had the challenge of competing with the stressful task of job searching. During my search, I have encountered several situations where my skills obtained in other areas would come in handy in my job search. I would like to share some of these employer seeking skills with you. College is a stressful and trying time for most of us. But it is important to focus on the soft skills needed to compete with other nursing students in this growing field.
Soft skills are the special skills that most employers look for, especially in the nursing field. The total College experience is key to these skills. Classes that teach these skills are English 101,250. This course teaches excellent communication skills, along with written and verbal skills Sociology 201 is equally important, and it teaches critical thinking as well as how to promote team or group work. Philosophy is another important subject. It promotes the law and use of ethics and problem solving. After completing these additional courses included in your nursing program, you are exposed to the college experience. This promotes motivation, multi-tasking, discipline, and time-management skills. All of which are viewed as accessible skills for future employers.
Thank you very much for taking the time to read this memo, and I hope that this was useful information that can be used in your future job search. Feel free to contact me by E-mail at db@yahoo.com.
Thank You
Deborah Byrd RN

    I chose to read the speech made by Elie Weisel about indifference around the world today and in the past. This speech was very touching in my opinion and I believed showed examples of Bias, Rhetorical devices, and argumentation. Elie Weisel was able to connect with his listener by sharing his heartbreaking and emotional experience. He then talked about other instances where injustice occurred around the world. Elie Weisel made good arguments as to why we we do and why we cannot ignore these injustices. We must stand up and fight against those who oppress. It is so easy to ignore something happening right next to you when it does not affect you. Live and let live, don't ask don't tell, what I cant see cant hurt me...All of these things we say to ourselves to feel better about not standing up against evil. Feel better about being selfish human beings. In this essay I will discuss the different Arguments made, how these arguments and counter arguments were addressed and how effective Elie Weisel’s speech was.…

    Nurses with extensive education are better qualified to care for patients holistically. BSN programs offer nursing education courses not offered in ADN or diploma programs. Courses included in the baccalaureate program are leadership, research, theory, and community health. The leadership courses prepare nurses for administrative duties. Research courses attribute to a better understanding and appreciation of the research process. Nursing theory courses and community health courses encourage critical thinking while emphasizing reflective learning. These courses create an extensive knowledge base of nursing, resulting in a more holistic approach to patient care (Spencer, 2008).…

    Often nursing students and new graduates enter the field not fully prepared for the challenges in the field of nursing. “New nurses who aren’t adequately prepared may struggle with job demands and express dissatisfaction with career choice.” (Shellenbarger & Robb 2016). Job dissatisfaction is one of the many reasons why nurses leave their professions and change careers. Considering that not only are nurse turnovers expensive for hospitals, but that they also add to the growing nursing shortage. There should be more efforts placed to retain nurses by increasing satisfaction and ensuring an understanding of the demands of the profession prior to entry.…

    One class has really stood out to me and my grade proves it. This professor is helping to show me many different ways I can succeed here at Austin Peay State University. Thus far she has shown me several different ways to help improve my studying skills. The option of joining a study group is the best option I have made. I have joined a study group for my art class. In the beginning I was not doing so well, and then I caught drift of a study group that was being formed and I signed up. A few strengths that I have brought to my study group is that I record each of the lectures so that we can listen to certain parts. When we have the ability to re-listen to the lecture it helps us get a better understanding of what was being taught. I got this grade saving idea from my APSU 1000 instructor, Mrs. Bonnie Hodge, who suggested that we ask our instructors if we are allowed to record their lectures. My next highest grade is a two-way tie between my Art and Psychology class, both ranking in at a B. I have the opportunity to record both of their lectures, and I do so every day. Having the ability to listen to lectures at home has a huge improvement on my grades, because it allows me to listen for important information that I may have accidently missed during class. I feel that I can do better in all of these classes if I spend about another hour per week studying for each class. It is very important to me that I make the best grades possible, because I would like to be accepted into the Nursing Program. This program is very competitive because they only accept about 50 students per year. In order to be accepted into this program I must bring up my English grade to at least a B, which is satisfying to me. English is a subject that I have always struggled with throughout high school. I try to study to the best of my ability and I do well on the test, it’s just writing papers that get me. The only thing I can do is study on how to make my papers flow…
