According to Employment Equity and Diversity (2004), the mentor needs to be a person who is aware of their responsibilities in supporting staff and require training and resources to support them in their role.

Being a home health nurse is a demanding job and it requires going through an intensive series of training, and having good monitoring and communication skills, as well as knowledge of medical terminology. Home health nursing is for registered nurses and students. An advisory board of the top nurses across the country has been will keep the organization up to date on problems impacting home care in their own states and guide the activities of the group (Home Health Nurses Association). Home health nurses take care of the elderly, disabled, or those people confined to their home so that they can be in the comfort of their own home instead of in a nursing home or hospital. Some home health nurses are trained to work with teenagers with disabilities or children that are recuperating from surgery or a terminal illness (Reeves, 79).
A patient presenting with a head injury can pose a lot of complications and the nurse needs to assess and monitor the patient thoroughly. Management of traumatic brain injury focuses on stabilisation of the patient and prevention of secondary neurologic damage due to high intracranial pressure. Assessment of the brain injury hinges on evaluation of the Glasgow coma scale, GCS and examination of the pupils (Chesnut, 2006, p.1). Nurses make important clinical decisions everyday and these decisions have an effect on the patient’s healthcare and the actions of other health care professionals, as the emergency department treats patients with various complex needs nurses need to rely on sound decision making skills and assess monitor and
Describe own role and responsibilities and those of others in the team My role of a Teaching Assistant is extremely important in the class room. I am there to support the pupils and the teacher in charge as well as other staff working in the school. A teaching assistant is responsible for preparing the class room ready for the day ahead as well as clearing the classroom after the school day. The Teaching assistant is required to float between pupils helping them to confidently complete their work and tasks set. We are also required to sometimes work with individual groups of pupils on set tasks or individually with pupils who need one to one support.
The importance goes further to the core of the problem focusing on the nurse and evaluating what is needed to be done in order to educate this patient group. The research problem involves nurses who are not comfortable discussing end-of-life issues with their patients and is identified in the first few paragraphs of the article. This is a significant problem nurses and doctors can educate, manage and monitor for these chronic patients. The purpose is not clearly stated in the study, but is inferred within the abstract of the article as well. Patients and families dealing with potential end-of-life issues is a very common problem in health care today.
Lastly, a reflection of findings will be discussed as to how nurses could contribute the information from the two interviews into their own professional growth and development. The first interview question pertained to the interviewee’s role in their current position and their educational preparation. The CRNA interviewed had an extensive emergency and critical care background, which applies greatly to his position today as he works in several areas, including the ICU, of the hospital where he is employed. The nurse educator was previously a nurse practitioner in a family practice office where she learned the patient teaching aspect that transitioned into her educational role today. Each interview participant explained the unique contributions they each made as nurses and brought to their interdisciplinary team.

Teachers are coming out of their classrooms and meeting with other teachers and sharing strategies, and asking questions that have other teachers thinking about how to have more successful classroom experiences. The final implication I think that it is having globally is that through coaching we will have retention of quality teachers. Through collegial and peer coaching teachers will find their voice in the classroom, understand what they what to accomplish and through self-reflection with a coach, teachers will begin to have an impact on their students in their
Running head: MY PERSONAL CLASSROOM MANAGEMENT My Personal Classroom Management Grand Canyon University EDU430N: Classroom Management Professor Allison Atkins June 20, 2010 My Personal Classroom Management Plan In order to establish an optimal system of discipline, teachers need an encompassing viewpoint that includes the purpose of discipline as well as the elements that comprise discipline and how those elements work to improve behavior while still maintaining motivation and dignity (Charles, 2008).
