  • Preventing Bullying and Workplace Violence in Nursing: Strategies and Impact on Job Satisfaction and Turnover Intention

    PLEASE RESPOND TO THE FOLLOWING POST OF A CLASSMATE IN 100 WORDS, Remember that your posts must be substantive and contribute to the dialogue that is taking place and Response posts must offer at least one new piece of information or insight.
    Please also include references!
    Yes, bullying can be present in nursing, as it can be in any profession. Bullying in nursing might include behaviors such as verbal abuse, intimidation, undermining, or humiliation. It can be perpetrated by colleagues, superiors, or even patients and their families. Bullying can create a hostile work environment and negatively impact the quality of patient care. According to a systematic review collects and analyzes recent evidence from previous workplace violence studies in primary healthcare settings. The study found that the prevalence of violence ranged from 45.6% to 90%, with verbal abuse being the most commonly reported form of violence. (Hanizah, Y. 2023)
    The worst workplace violence came from a doctor. She screamed at me so loud I cried and really wanted to quit my job. According to a study it found that workplace violence was positively correlated with turnover intention and job burnout, and negatively associated with job. (Duan, X.,Ni,2019)
     There are several strategies that nurses, and healthcare organizations can implement to prevent bullying and workplace violence.  Providing training on recognizing and managing bullying and violence can empower nurses to address these issues when they arise. Having clear, well-communicated policies against bullying and violence can help create a culture of respect. Establishing safe and confidential ways for nurses to report incidents can ensure that issues are addressed promptly and appropriately. Leaders who model respectful behavior and take reports of bullying and violence seriously can help foster a positive work environment.
    Encouraging supportive relationships among colleagues can help nurses feel more comfortable addressing issues of bullying or violence. Remember, it’s important for everyone in the healthcare environment to work together to create a safe and respectful workplace.

  • Title: Literature Review and Evaluation for Capstone Project Implementation Plan

    In nursing practice, accurate identification and application of research is essential to achieving successful outcomes. The ability to articulate research data and summarize relevant content supports the student’s ability to further develop and synthesize the assignments that constitute the components of the capstone project.
    This assignment will be used to develop a written implementation plan.
    For this assignment, provide a synopsis of the review of the research literature. Using the “Literature Evaluation Table,” determine the level and strength of the evidence for each of the eight research articles you have selected. The articles should be current (published within the past 5 years) and closely relate to the PICOT question developed earlier in this course. The articles may include quantitative research, descriptive analyses, longitudinal studies, or meta-analysis articles. A systematic review may be used to provide background information for the purpose or problem identified in the proposed capstone project.
    While APA style is not required for the body of this assignment, solid academic writing is expected, and in-text citations and references should be presented using APA documentation guidelines, which can be found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center.

  • Title: The Impact of Climate Change on Marine Life: An Annotated Bibliography

    For this assignment, you will create an annotated bibliography on a topic related to the natural sciences.  Your annotated bibliography will include an abstract describing the issue and summarizing the body of research included in your bibliography. You will provide annotations for at least three sources that come from peer-reviewed academic journals no more than five years old (2019).  Three more sources must come from layperson non-scholarly magazines, newspapers, or magazine-like webpages.
    Step One: You must create research questions for your topic.  They should not be close-ended questions such as “What causes global warming?”  Instead, they should be open-ended, but also very specific: “How does global warming affect the migration habits of tropical marine life, and how might that affect endangered populations?” No two topics can be the same.
    Step Two:  Begin your research.  Use advanced search in NC LIVE to find peer-reviewed, scholarly academic journals.
    Step Three: READ your articles.  You will need to summarize AND evaluate your sources, so you must understand them.
    Step Four: Begin creating your annotated bibliography. Provide a bibliographic entry in APA format. Write a concise annotation (minimum 150 words) that (1) fully summarizes the main idea or findings of the article, (2) verifies the qualifications and credibility of the author (ethos), (3) comments on the effectiveness or usefulness of the work in relation to your research questions (logos), and (4) addresses any biases the authors may have (pathos).
    Assignment Specifics
    6 sources: (3 peer-reviewed/scholarly articles from NC Live; 3 non-scholarly/other types of credible sources (ie. magazines, newspapers, documentary videos, etc.) – Each annotation will include the proper citation and paragraphs that summarize, analyze, and compare your source. Each evaluative summary should have a minimum of 150 words.
    APA 7 format –  AB must contain a title page (use an attention-grabbing and thought out title that pertains to your topic; avoid ‘Annotated Bibliography’), abstract on a separate page, and the annotated bibliography.  Follow rules for citations, page numbers, and annotation format.

  • “Finding Inner Peace: Understanding Epictetus’s Stoicism and Applying it to Overcome Negative Emotions”

    Please DO NOT USE CHAT/GPT or AI in this assignment. No use of secondary sources.            No sources are required.   Please use the lecture files I have attached for answers and information. This assignment  would be passed via Turnitin, so please, no plagiarism. 
    Write a 400 – 600 word essay explaining Epictetus’s stoicism.  Your essay should address the following: 
    1) You should begin by explaining the stoic project of achieving ataraxia and how this project relates to the emotions.  
    2) Your essay should explain what, according to Epictetus, causes our emotions and what we can do about unpleasant emotions that trouble us.  Here you will need to define what beliefs are as discussed throughout the semester (see Lecture 1 and the list of definitions in the syllabus).  
    3) This is the most important part of the essay because here you are demonstrating you’ve understood how to use Epictetus’s philosophy even if you don’t agree with it.  Therefore this should be the lengthiest and most detailed portion of your essay.  Don’t phone it in.  You may not use examples similar to ones I discussed in class (breakups and traffic).  I want to see original thought that shows you’ve deeply understood the material and how to use it  concretely.  
    4) Once you have explained the basics of Epictetus’s stoicism, discuss a difficult  thing you have experienced in your life where you experienced troubling negative emotions.  Be detailed and thorough explaining what happened and what you were going through. 
    5) Now, following the step by step method you were taught in Lecture 6, apply Epictetus’s method to what you experienced and how you could have gotten rid of the negative           emotions you were experiencing.  For Step 2, you should come up with 3- 4 beliefs and        desires that caused your emotion.  Again, be detailed, thorough, precise, and explicit in discussing these beliefs and desires.  Here you are doing psychology and exploring how the way you thought about things without realizing influenced how you felt or the emotions you experienced.  For Step 3 you will need to discuss 3- 4 beliefs and desires you could have adopted to change your emotional response to the situation.  Remember, Epictetus is about changing how we think rather than changing what we do.  Be careful not to slip into action language in this essay.

    Overview
    Persuasive essays are a staple of writing. A persuasive essay has multiple goals. One is to demonstrate certain skills like research, proper citation, and critical thinking. These skills benefit us any time we need to take a position on a topic. This could be to present information for a suggested change at work or to help change someone’s mind about a global issue affecting our society. The skills that you will develop in writing your persuasive essay with research are transferable to all aspects of life and career.
    When writing a persuasive essay, a writer must consider multiple communication elements and persuasive writing techniques such as strategically using introductions and conclusions, using a combination of ethos, pathos, and logos to persuade an audience, refuting an opposing viewpoint, among others. These elements of writing matter in everything we write, not just in essays. Persuasive essays organize your ideas by stating a thesis, followed by key points backed up by citations from credible sources, and examine diverse perspectives. All the skills that you will develop while working on your persuasive essay with research will help you when trying to persuade someone to consider your perspective.
