you will write a 1-2 page double spaced description of one scene from Beowulf. The scene must contain vivid details, descriptive language, and appeal to the senses to grab the reader’s attention.

1. Choose one scene from Beowulf (Battle with Grendel, Battle with Grendel’s Mother, Battle with Dragon).

2. Pretend you are an observer, or one of the characters in the scene – you will be rewriting the scene from this character’s perspective.

3. Pretend you are in the middle of the action in this scene. The narrative shouldn’t start from the beginning, but should be told en medias res, or in the middle of the action.

4. Describe what things feel, sound, taste, smell, and look like in this scene. Choose specific details, sensory words, and figurative language (similes and metaphors, for example) to describe the scene using your five senses.

5. Write in present tense.

6. Convey a solemn atmosphere that is reminiscent of Beowulf.The tone must be serious.

• Ask a probing question, substantiated with additional background information, evidence, or research.
• Share an insight from having read your colleagues’ postings, synthesizing the information to provide new perspectives.
• Validate an idea with your own experience and additional research.

The healthcare field recognizes nurses as authoritative figures regardless of the particular title. The responsibility of being a registered nurse is a leadership capacity in and of itself (Cox, 2016). Although there is a need for both the relationship between management and leadership continues to initiate some debate (Marquis & Huston, 2017).

Within the hierarchy of an organization, a nurse manager holds an assigned position. Over specific processes, she is responsible for tasks, and particular duties are designated to be carried out. On the other hand, a leader might or might not have identified authority within the organization. Focused on upholding standards using interpersonal skills and effective communication the leader uses her ability to influence others (The Sentinel Watch, 2014).

In my history as a nurse, I worked with a woman who showed leadership behaviors but not management behaviors. She was always available when needed, trustworthy, wanted to mentor, flexible, and excellent interpersonal skills. She believes and promotes the vision of the organization and developing change. She was not task oriented, did not want to deal with patient care planning, schedules, or address daily issues on the unit with staff. Her primary goal was graduating from college with her Masters in Administration to move up the ladder in the organization and made everyone aware of her goals, and she only had one nurse manager to oversee in the small rural hospital (Cox, 2016).

Next, there was a manager I had the opportunity to work with at hospice and was an asset to her office. She led by example, believed in sharing information, and insured patient safety while she supervised and participated with staff members. She kept an open door policy to all staff for support, guidance, and advice at all times. After six years of being a manager, she was offered a promotion and leadership to director of nursing of all six of the outpatient hospice units, and she took the position. The transition from manager to administration proved to be a challenging journey for her. Her first obstacle was moving to the corporate office over an hour from her house. The second was she had 30 employees at her office, and now she was overseeing 400 employees in the company. Her 8 to 10 hour days went to 12 to 16 hour days with being on administrative call 24/7. The state had also come into two offices to do an audit that she was responsible for and making sure all policies were up-to-date, nurse managers had everything they needed, monitoring the budget and answering to the CEO. She did not make herself very visible and was very difficult to find most days, and you were lucky to get a reply from her within the week even if it was urgent (Cox, 2016). She finally got overwhelmed enough and put back in for her a transfer to be a manager at her old office due to the current manager resigning and got her old position back. She enjoyed the experience but was very glad to be back at her old office and so was her staff.

Question

1 of 1

Case Scenario:

A middle-aged man who has recently moved to the U.S. from Mexico suffers a head injury at his workplace and is brought in unconscious. Hospital personnel phone his home to notify his family of his condition, only to find that no one in the household is fluent in English and they do not understand that their family member has been injured. There are no Spanish speakers on staff at the hospital, and there is no access to translator services. The staff is frustrated because the man’s family never shows up at the hospital. The man regains consciousness several hours later and is given written information about his condition. The information is in English, and no Spanish-language version is available.

Question 1: Apply what you have learned in this lesson to describe the health disparities likely faced by the patient in this scenario. You will want to include concepts and passages from the Nelson article, in addition to your textbook and outside readings, for this response.

Question 2: Apply what you have learned in this lesson to describe the structural barriers evident in this scenario. You will want to include concepts and passages from the Betancourt article, in addition to your textbook and outside readings, for this response.

For the course project of this course, you will select an organization, analyze the market for the organization’s product/service, analyze the organization’s current marketing strategy, and justify recommendations for the marketing strategy to make the organization more effective.

To assist you in planning for the course project, the following table provides a high-level overview of the project deliverables during the course.

Choosing an Organization

In this first week of your course project, select an organization to study in depth over the next five weeks. Each week, your assignment will require you to evaluate this organization. You may use an organization you currently belong to, a past organization, or an organization that you identify through research. Be sure to review the types of information you will need for the project (all five weeks) before choosing your organization. You might need to create some hypothetical details to fill gaps in researched information. However, the project should use as much real information as possible.

You should have your organization approved by your instructor before moving forward with the assignment. Contact your instructor early in the week to gain approval.

For the Week 1 paper, complete the following tasks:

• Summarize key details about your organization. What does it do? Who are its customers, clients, prospects, or constituents? For convenience in this class, we will call them customers.
• Perform a SWOTT analysis, placing particular emphasis on long-term trends affecting your organization and what your competitors are doing.
• Analyze the organization’s mission statement. Does it address the following core components?
  • Customers—who do we serve?
  • Product/service—what do we provide?
  • Market—who/where are our customers?
  • Core competencies—how do we provide or deliver our product/service? What gives us a competitive advantage?
  • Measurability—how do we know when we are successful?
• Defend a new/revised mission statement. It should be a succinct statement of what the organization is, what it does, and who its customers are. Be sure to support why your revisions are an improvement to the current mission statement.

Submission Details:

• Submit your plan in a 3- to 4-page Microsoft Word document, using APA style
