Karen Vogel’s Perspective After her questionable termination from Paradise Valley Hospital, Karen Vogel is considering taking legal action against her former employees, primarily Julian Anderson and Cyprian Devine, due to the overall lack of support provided to her during her employment as well as the inability of upper management to explain the reasons for her termination. Prior to her current residence at St. Vincent’s Hospital, Vogel dedicated 16 years of arduous work at Paradise Valley Hospital where she advanced through the various supervisory levels until she was promoted to the director of nursing. At this time, Vogel was viewed as an exceptional nurse by her colleagues, due to her technical competence and interpersonal skills with…

Anaphora is a specific form of repetition in which a word or phrase is repeated at the beginning of a successive phrase and is used to leave prominence on the phrases, as well as creating a rhythmic effect to make it memorable and more gratifying to read. For example, anaphora is used in a passage of Barbara Lazear Ascher On Compassion, a passage about a few brief encounters with homeless people, where she struggles to understand the compassion of others. “Twice I have witnessed this, and twice I have wondered, what compels this woman to feed this man?” (Paragraph 9).…
I read the narrative, “The Healing Power of Grace,” by Katherine Lawrence. This narrative is about the author receiving grace following the death of her partner from a heart condition. The grace she received helped pull her out of her despair. The author is telling us that showing grace towards others, no matter what you think about the person, makes life possible.…
“Healing Through the Written Word” by Karen Cangialosi is an article written about the healing effects of writing for patients with illnesses such as asthma or rheumatoid arthritis. Cangialosi effectively persuades therapists that writing has many different healing effects for patients and is also a cost effective alternative form of medication as well. After reading this article as a therapist, they would logically want to try this method for their patients as well. See how many success stories that were present in the article. Cangialosi uses expert opinions to further convince the therapist with more experts showing their support and providing their positive results.…
Are people born with the character trait of compassion, or do they have certain experiences in order to learn compassion? There are hundreds of homeless people living on the streets who need help from people that are fortunate enough to have better circumstances. Barbara Lazear Ascher writes “On Compassion” to explain to people that they need to go out into the world and connect with other people who are less fortunate than themselves so that they can learn and develop compassion. By using imagery, concrete diction, and syllogism she successfully creates her argument to prove this.…
Compassion is necessary for human survival. Without compassion, humans turn into some type of monster that hurts and kills the innocent “Babies! Yes, I did see this with my own eyes…. children being thrown into the flames” (32). Babies, who were just innocent children, were being thrown alive into a pit of fire, and being…
Development of CFT Paul Gilbert developed Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT) to address complex mental health issues arising from abuse, neglect, trauma and bullying that result in high levels of shame and self-criticism. Compassion is defined as ‘sympathetic consciousness of others' distress together with a desire to alleviate it’ (Merriam-webstercom, 2017). Gilbert observed that other traditional methods of CBT seemed to have something missing when exploring deeper psychological issues.…
Compassion means, to me, to always help others out of sympathy, even if they’re strangers. So in layman's term, it is to show sympathy towards another person. I consider compassion as an important trait of human beings. This is because as a human being, we are able to choose to help others or not. Compassion is also a feeling towards one another, meaning it is also a feeling.…
In many cases people having one religious perspective may unknowingly act prejudicial to those who have different perspective. This may be due the fact that many major religions promote doctrines that assert that it is the sole true religion. As Dalai Lama states: “We need a moral compass we can use without getting bogged down by doctrinal differences.” (139) He acknowledges that differences in religious perspectives can slow down ethical response to challenges or even completely impede it.…

Literature Review Compassion fatigue strongly impacts nurses as well as patients throughout healthcare. Awareness is essential among compassion fatigue not only emphasizes the reality of burnout, increased unnecessary stress, negative work environments, lack of leadership support, nursing retention problems, reduced patient satisfaction scores, and financial contingencies specifically patient reimbursements (Kelly, 2015; Hunsaker, 2015; Sacco, 2015; Lachman, 2016). However, positive resolutions have been established to improve nursing recognition specifically, the “daisy award (Diseases Attacking the Immune System)” within nursing practice in recognizing exceptional nurses who demonstrate admirable quality patient care, as well as “Magnet hospitals” known for highly respected nursing practice (Kelly, Runge, & Spencer, 2015, p.524,526). Our future as professionals brings an imperative opportunity in utilizing nursing science, knowledge, research, and apply nursing as well as patient feedback in preventing compassion fatigue.…

In Christianity, there are over 400,000 different denominations. So the bible may be miss interpreted from these numerous denominations.

As therapist expresses empathy with a client we are going behind the curtain of the client’s world. We are potentially seeing the opportunity for change and healing, while also seeing the dark corners of a client’s experiences and attitudes. This process can lead us into a state of understanding, or a state of judgment if we are not careful. We see Jesus expressing empathy throughout his ministry. However, Jesus had the ability to enter into someone’s thoughts without the other person knowing it.…
All fourteen points ensure complete and holistic care of the patient. There is an exchange that takes place between those who provide care and those cared for that goes beyond the empirical reality of the moment and incorporates the spiritual. The 'art' of providing care includes an aspect of caring that has metaphysical origins and connotations. It concerns all aspects of the human experience, physical, psychological, spiritual and social. The Gestalt approach to nursing and the inclusion of caring as a primary requisite is the heart of the concept of interactive theory as it applies to nursing and as presented by Ms. Henderson.…
