Here is just a little of what I was going to put in my paper!
The other reason why I chose this career is that I needed something quick because I unexpectedly ended up getting partial custody of my sisters kids with my mom and I have a good feeling I will be getting full custody and need to be comfortable and in a job I like and that was meaningful and could take care of my nephews comfortably.
I chose this program because I was very intrigued with taking pictures as a little girl and 
very interested in helping people and he equipment also was a mystery to me.
What I bring to the world of radiology is my friendly demeanor and the way that I care about people. And the way I treat people like I want to be treated at all times. What I expect from this career choice is to have a meaningful career and to just interact with people and make them feel good. People call me smiles for a reason and I like to think its because I make people smile and feel good.

I need this to be incorporated into the paper somehow in the paper. I had to come back to school to help my mom with my nephews she is getting older and I feel like I will be getting full custody of them and the career I am in now is ok but its not comfortable enough to take care of two young children. Not only that I have always been very intrigued with x-ray techs and there equipment, I use to think those were really big cameras they were using, I was always just curious about what they do. What I bring to the table is my ability to talk to people and make them feel comfortable in different situations. Not to mention my friends call me Smiles I like to think its because I make people smile all the time, but its because my first initial and last name spell smiles. Not only that people are just drawn to me for some reason. And I just want people to feel comfortable while taking there x-rays because there where times when the techs were rude to me and just nasty and I want to be the opposite of what I went through and don’t want people to feel that way.

Cooperative Testing refers to a method of education in which assessment tasks require a group of students to work together.
Benefits of cooperative testing
Enhanced Learning: Students can exchange lessons and disclose their respective misconceptions to gain a thorough understanding of the subject.
Reduced Anxiety: Working in a team helps decrease the burden of being responsible for the performance’s outcome, which allows you to destroy test anxiety (Oyelere et al., 2022).
Nevertheless, collaborative assessment can have disadvantages, such as non-uniform participation from group members.
Test anxiety and reduction strategies
Test anxiety is a widespread concern that often leads to undesired results for students in exams. It is seen in the symptoms, e.g., anxiousness, clamminess, and difficulty focusing.
Positive Thinking: Getting into affirmation and visualizing success can help self-confidence go up and decrease negative thoughts.
Practice Tests: Performing test practice allows students to acquaint themselves with the test setting and become less fearful of the unknown (Donolato et al., 2020).
Cheating
Cheating in the academic setup weakens the authenticity of the educational procedure. It includes using unfair ways to gain better examination results (Ernst et al., 2023). To combat cheating, institutions can implement the following measures:
Strict Policies: Comprehensive and strict regulations communicated to students should focus on academic integrity.
Technology Solutions: Plagiarism detection software and other technological tools help track and prevent this behavior.
Conclusion
As a final thought, however, it is crucial to use cooperative testing carefully to get the best results. Dealing with test anxiety is a matter of holistic strategies, including preparation, relaxation techniques, positive thinking, practice tests, and healthy ways of life. Fighting to cheat involves strict regulations, vital monitoring, well-planned testing, honor codes, and effective technologies.

There are different assignments that were done over the course of the semester. that led to the creation of a program that will tackle “Childhood Obesity in Poor Urban Communities” as a health outcome. 
I need to edit all the assignments to create a final proposal that is due on May 22, 2024. 
However, for this Sunday, May 19, 2024, we are editing the assignments, considering the professor’s comprehensive feedback on all assignments for peer review.
I will attach all the completed assignments and the professor’s detailed instructions on how to organize the proposal.

INTRODUCTION
Nursing has a pivotal role in shaping policies and implementing practices to improve patient outcomes. Increasingly, healthcare is being reimbursed based on outcomes, including patient satisfaction and quality of care. Healthcare professionals are being held accountable for the care provided and the patient outcomes achieved. In this changing environment, nurses should have an awareness of financial implications, share in the decision-making process, and leverage data through participation in continuous improvement processes.
For this task, you will examine the payment model of a healthcare organization and compare it with the principles of value-based care.
You will consider the organizational ethics that are reflected in the financial structure of the organization and discuss data that informs this financial structure. You will compare this organization to another organization and consider which organization is most aligned with value-based care principles. You will discuss the role of nursing in the fiscal responsibility of the value-based care model.
Your goal for this task is to clearly and concisely present a recommendation that analyzes the alignment of the financial structure within a healthcare organization to value-based healthcare and analyzes the role of nursing in value-based healthcare, using convincing evidence to promote the necessity for change.
