hi dear,

can help me to finish this assignment with good quality and be on time please?

Please follow the instructor carefully.

 

Signature Assignment 

Scenario:

You are applying for an internship within the Emergency Preparedness and Response department at your local county health department. The application process requires that you submit a public health disaster management plan for a natural or man-made event in the community.
The plan should adapt best practices and lessons learned from a recent event in a similar community to prepare your local community. The most comprehensive, evidence-based and realistic plans will be selected for in-person interviews which will include a presentation of the proposal. The plans should also be mindful of an all-hazards approach. Earning an internship will provide you opportunities to network with experts that can help improve your skills and provide you a competitive advantage when applying for employment and/or graduate school.

Please limit your paper to 10-15 pages.

2. Signature Assignment Paper

Scenario:

You are applying for an internship within the Emergency Preparedness and Response department at your local county health department. The application process requires that you submit a public health disaster management plan for a natural or man-made event in the community. The plan should adapt best practices and lessons learned from a recent event in a similar community to prepare your local community. The most comprehensive, evidence-based and realistic plans will be selected for in-person interviews which will include a presentation of the proposal. The plans should also be mindful of an all-hazards approach. Earning an internship will provide you opportunities to network with experts that can help improve your skills and provide you a competitive advantage when applying for employment and/or graduate school.

Step 1: Pick an area with hazards that are interesting to you (e.g., San Diego)

HVA:

To write and present a disaster management plan for your chosen local jurisdiction, it is necessary to know what hazards are present. A HVA is a way to determine top hazards for an area. Choose the area on which you want to do your project, and complete the HVA worksheet for your chosen jurisdiction.

Step 2: Identify the top threats to the jurisdiction based on results of your HVA and chose a high-ranking hazard on which you would like to focus (e.g., wildfires in San Diego)

Step 3: Complete the paper and presentation, following the rubric.

Paper:

Following the scenario above, write your paper as if you were creating a public health disaster management plan for your chosen jurisdiction, using the hazard you chose from the HVA and acknowledging the HVA process for your paper (e.g., write a plan for public health management of wildfires in San Diego).

unethical research studies

/0 Comments/in /by

The early years of the 20th century were host to  a number of unethical research studies. Research involving the way that  a young child reacts to and generalizes fear responses, medical  experiments conducted in concentration camps, and observing the way  people respond to authority were just a few of the most famous  experiments whose byproduct was placing clients in physical pain and/or  mental anguish. Since then, it has been recognized that research  subjects need to be protected from the flagrant disregard of  researchers. This week, you consider the guidelines in Walden  University’s Institutional Review Board (IRB) document, “Research Ethics  FAQs for Doctoral Students in the Clinical/Intervention Fields:  Practical Tips for Avoiding Delays and Problems in the Research Approval  Process.”

By Day 5

Post a description of two ways  the guidelines in Walden University’s IRB document may impact the  selection of a research population, research setting, and/or research  design. Please use the resources to support your answer.

By Day 7

Respond to a colleague’s post in one of the following ways:

  1. Expand upon your colleague’s post regarding ways that the IRB’s ethical guidelines may impact his or her study.
  2. Explain an insight you gained from this week’s Resources that addresses a topic in your colleague’s post.

Please use the resources to support your post.

culture of engagement and contribution.

/0 Comments/in /by

[T]he way to create a culture of retention is, in fact, to create a culture of engagement and contribution.
—Jo Manion (2004, p. 30)

When employees feel engaged and motivated, they are often more committed to an organization. Organizational commitment is broadly defined as an employee’s intent to stay with the organization. Nurse managers can have significant influence on an organization’s culture and thereby on employee engagement and commitment.

To prepare

  • Select one of the following perspectives and complete the corresponding survey for this Discussion. Do not look at the scoring directions until after you have completed the evaluation.
    • If you hold or have held a management position in your recent or present workplace, access the document, “Creating a Culture of Engagement: Manager Survey,” found in this week’s Learning Resources.
    • If you have yet to hold a management position, or would prefer to answer the survey from the perspective of an employee, access the document, “Creating a Culture of Engagement: Employee Survey,” found in this week’s Learning Resources.
  • After you have completed the survey, reflect on the results. Based on score breakdown, select the culture cluster you consider the most critical to address in this workplace. Then, review this week’s media, “Recruitment, Retention, and Employee Development.” What strategies could you, as a nurse manager, employ to address this cluster?
  • Consider how this culture facilitates or negates your feelings of organizational commitment.

By Day 3

Post an evaluation of a recent or past workplace by sharing the total score of your survey. Explain whether this score accurately captures the culture of this workplace. Identify the culture cluster that you consider the most critical to address, and suggest at least one intervention you could initiate to effectively change this aspect of the workplace’s culture. Explain how this culture encouraged or diminished your feelings of organizational commitment.

Read a selection of your colleagues’ responses.

By Day 6

Respond to at least two of your colleagues on two different days using one or more of the following approaches:

  • Find a colleague whose critical culture cluster is one of your stronger ones. Share a strategy for strengthening this aspect of his or her culture.
  • Use authentic experiences and this week’s Learning Resources to evaluate a colleague’s intervention, offering suggestions and insights.
  • Assess a colleague’s workplace. Applying what you know about your own intrinsic motivators, explain why this workplace would or would not be a good fit for you.
