Briefly discuss how this might influence change in practice / services / for service users. Do your findings raise any ethical issues?

How does your passion for nursing align with the mission of the CON?

Essay Prompt:

The College of Nursing’s mission statement states:

We create and translate knowledge and educate a diverse student body prepared to excel as clinicians, scholars and leaders who improve health in local and global communities.

How does your passion for nursing align with the mission of the CON? Describe any experiences that you have had with diverse groups of people (or people who are different from you in some way). What did you learn from this experience?

Essentially, build off of what I’m trying to say here please:

The latter part of the statement resonates with me; improving health in local and global communities. We’re in Detroit; a city yearning for improvement. Health services are a whopping 1.8% of Detroit’s entire budget. Our goal is not only to be nurses and aid this community, but to build around and compliment it as well. Being well-versed and trained in the health industry means I can make an impact at any moment. I can save someone’s life, as well as revive a community. A BSN is the launching pad to community building.

From the above and using “red-light” data identify your 2 areas where intervention is needed. 

Introduce focus of assessment – community profile

Introduce Postcode and identify Ward

Link in NMC Confidentiality (do not name small shops and private companies – e.g. just state X pharmacy is 2 miles from the centre of town etc..)

Identify which framework you are using (Watson & Wilkinson or Jack & Holt) – a brief statement about why frameworks are used.

using the Watson & Wilkinson Framework use the areas outlined in the framework as SUB-HEADINGS

Population Structure

Link in relevant statistics – but ensure that they are referenced and compared to the larger area or to the national picture.  The key is making sure that inferences are made from the statistics and that you are using refs to support your work – remember Level 6 writing.

Environment

Housing

Healthcare Facilities

Social & Voluntary Sector

Employment

From the above and using “red-light” data identify your 2 areas where intervention is needed.  The 2 interventions need to be backed up by statistics and the approach to assist in improving the area must be MULTI-DISCIPLINARY!

Final paragraph – what have I learned – what will I take into my practice in community.

What kinds of information did the authors find in their primary sources?

Final Research Paper
Length: 5-7 pages + Bibliography

1. Your paper should have a clear introduction or introductory section that does the following:
   introduces your research topic and its historical context; briefly overviews the related
   historiography and research trends or lack thereof; briefly discusses how your research fits with
   or adds to the historiography; introduces your methodology—that is, the types of sources
   examined by you for this paper and how they fit into your topic; and presents an argument
   about your research topic.
2. The bulk of your paper should be making the case for your argument. You should examine the
   major arguments of each author. How similar or different are the conclusions in the secondary
   sources (i.e. articles) to each other and to relevant secondary sources from class.
3. In addition, you should discuss the types of primary sources examined by the authors to develop
   their arguments. What kinds of information did the authors find in their primary sources? How
   does that information support their findings? If an author includes statistical data (i.e. charts
   and tables), what sources did they examine to produce such data or was that data borrowed
   from another academic source?
4. Assess the validity or strength of the authors’ arguments on the basis of the sources, especially
   primary sources (e.g. declassified government documents, lawsuits, laws/legal codes,
   interviews, images, political speeches, etc.) they examined. If no primary sources were
   examined or cited by the author, then is their work the opinion of a specialist with years of
   research behind them or the opinion of a hobbyiest or a politicized opinion? If only one type of
   primary source was examined by an author, assess how the examination of a more diverse set of
   primary sources may have strengthened, added nuance, or possibly detracted from their
   argument. How do the findings of one author, irrespective of source limitations or because of
   their source selection, support or contradict the findings of another author?
5. Your primary sources must be formally and methodically introduced—don’t refer to them as
   “my first” or “my second” primary source. Introduce and refer to each primary source as what
   they are (e.g. the 2000 national census of Mexico). Summarize the contents of your primary
   sources before examining and discussing their relevance to your research. That is, briefly explain
   the kinds of information typically found in such primary sources and the specific historical
   context in which each of your sources were produced. Then transition to your analysis. Were
   there other types of primary sources that you could have examined to strengthen your research
   1
   findings? Lastly, determine how your analysis of primary sources supports or challenges or adds
   nuance to the findings in your secondary sources.
6. Critically assess the validity of any popular beliefs, common misinformation, or stereotypes
   relevant to your research topic. In what ways do non-academic popular sources inform or
   misinform their audiences about the historical reality of your research topic?
7. Conclude. Your conclusion should remind the reader of the research question of your essay and
   answer it, summarizing your analysis of the secondary and primary sources examined in your
   paper. You’re welcome to make any final comments on the state of the field with regard to your
   research topic.

Do NGOs have a set of processes for selecting suppliers?

Order details:
Task objective:
This order is about supporting the following: “Decision-making impact in the Flow of Relief
in Post-Conflict Areas: The case of NGOs in Gaza”.
Task description:
The research topic is about procurement in NGOs operating in these post-conflicted areas,
particularly finding out how procurement is according to theories, compare the findings to
what is implemented in practice, and try to find ways to improve the existing procedures.
Therefore, the way forward is to find gaps in the existing literature, elaborate a set of
questions around those gaps, conduct interviews of NGOs if post-conflict area (Gaza, as an
example), analyse the findings and propose, either a framework or a set of processes that
would improve the existing procurement procedures for those NGOs.
This order is about finding gaps in existing literature, which is the first step (as explained
earlier). This order is also an extension of the previous one #855702. Its aim is to briefly
analyse various references in relation to the following questions:
Q1: Do NGOs have a set of processes for selecting suppliers?
Q2: Do NGOs consider the elaboration of selection criteria when selecting suppliers?
Q3: What are the main selection criteria NGOs consider when selecting suppliers?
Q4: How do NGOs make decisions concerning procurement?
Q5: How do NGOs implement related decisions?
Please analyse at least 15 references per questions, please fill a table containing the
following:

• Reference
• Related question number
• Used Methodology
• Research Findings
• Implications and Consequences of Research
• Existing Research Gap
  PS:
  Please look for new references, please try to avoid mentioning ones used in the previous
  order.
  Once done, there will be other orders tackling other aspects of the research, for instance:
  a/
  For decision processes:
• Did existing literature detail how to elaborate a complete set of processes for the
  selection of suppliers?
• Did existing literature propose a tentative set of processes for the selection of
  suppliers?
