Reflection on what you have learned, the writing you have done, what you can apply to other classes or rhetorical situations.
Can I think critically and talk critically about the concepts in the course that we learned from the readings?
Writing process and the the content of the course. Here’s what I’ve done in learning how to write, here’s some of the reading we had to do and what I’ve learned from it(Robin Reames “ the ancient art of thinking for yourself”, “bird by bird” Anne Lamott, “the social construction of difference and inequality” Tracy E. Ore) What I have learned from these text and what I can approve on.
Here’s what my actual process looked like.
Reflection on my process:
What was it like taking an online class and how was it different from face to face? how was it being self guided and having to learn through the text and on my own. Was it a struggle and how did it compare to other online classes. Was the 4 short weeks of a full harder to manage than a full semester? Was this more writing then you were used to. Was this class different from the kinds of writing you are used to?text based research is different from what most people are used to writing about, how was that? You have to build a habit to keep up with things, what was that like to try to build a habit while also being remote and online with a full time job. Set a timer and put away phone. Did you struggle with distractions? What was it like to try to revise and edit with such quick turn around

Your letter must be at least three pages in length, double-spaced, and written in Times New Roman, 12-point font. While APA Style and resources are not required for this assignment, you may want to utilize scholarly resources to help you gather strong information for your letter. Be careful not to copy material from the sources though. If you paraphrase information (write the information in your own words), ensure that you use citations. Since you are the author of the letter and are sharing your perspective (representative of that time) and experiences, a first-person narrative (i.e., I, me, us, we, etc.) is needed for this assignment.
Scenario: It is September, 1776. The news of the Declaration of Independence has swept through the colonies, and you are just now learning of this historical event. You take pen to paper to write to a family member to reflect on what this means.
In your letter, make certain to include the following elements listed below.
Discuss who you are you writing to and where the letter is headed. Be sure to consider how news would travel.
Discuss where you live in Colonial America. Give at least two characteristics that distinguish the region.
Include whether you are a patriot or a loyalist. Explain why.
Discuss at least one social, political, or economic event that you believe led the Continental Congress to write the Declaration of Independence. Discuss why this event led to the writing of the Declaration of Independence.

Discuss what actions you will take (whether required or volunteered) as America and Great Britain wage war.
Save the submission as a Word document, and upload the document to Blackboard.
The assignment will be reviewed in alignment with the grading rubric criteria, which is focused on an understanding of the time, topic, and concepts in which you are choosing to discuss as well as the clarity of the writing.

What are the ethical considerations and implications of using CNAs and LPNs to address nursing shortages, and how do these relate to patient safety, quality of care, and the healthcare workforce?
I believe that solution thought of was a let’s start somewhere solution. However, we realized at the end that RN hands are still falling short and despite the attempt nurses seem to still feel the heat. CNA’s and LPNs, as crucial as they are to the medical team, have a different level of training and scope than RNs. Asking them to do assessments in place of the RNs can lead to complex medical situations. Asking them to lead complex medical situations or critical decisions can lead to potentially more harm than good, ultimately compromising patient safety. And when CNAs and LVNs do step into that role, that also requires RNs to provide more time and effort looking through the work and providing effective supervision – which can add to the patient load and burden even more. “Interprofessional collaboration is the responsibility of all nurses at the bedside, at the organizational level, and at the policymaking level” (Prentice et.al., 2020). And over-extending the roles of LVNs and CNAs can also lead them to burnout, role confusion, and other ethical dilemmas.
In this episode, what ethical principles or values are at stake for hospital administrators, the nurse educator, the nursing team, and the patients?
I think as hospital administrators it is important that nonmaleficence is ensured by avoiding harm to the patients and not placing those that have not trained for roles into more advanced positions and responsibilities. As the nurse educator suggests in the video it is important that high quality training and education be provided first to CNAs and LVNS to ensure they are well-prepared for their roles to ensure that beneficence is adhered to. I think that the nursing team confronts concerns with justice and fair workload distribution. The team remains to be shorthanded, and stresses and it is important that the nursing team is prevented from burnout and can maintain quality of care. As patients, when care is rushed or not delivered as needed, their autonomy or ability to choose and decide what is best for their health is also compromised in the process.
Imagine you are a nurse educator or part of the hospital administration team. How would you approach the integration of CNAs and LPNs into your nursing staff to combat the nursing shortage? What ethical principles would guide your decision-making process?
If I was put in this position, I would begin by assessing the current staffing levels and the patient acuity levels on each floor. If we were to integrate CNAs and LVNs into their new roles I would establish clear guidelines for the supervision of them to maintain patient safety and quality of care. As the biggest step I would make sure to take, it to implement continuous education and training programs for them to enhance skills and training. These courses would be mandatory and paid. The biggest concern would be to ensure that no harm is done to patients in the process. Ensuring nonmaleficence would be the utmost of concerns and that is why tasks are assigned based on competency and scop is crucial for this to work.
