    Matthew de la Rosa 2/10/16 NAT 388 Nat Sci on the Town When I went to the Carolinas Medical center I had a very interesting and knowledgeable time there. My experience with the medical center was for sure a smooth ride. My aunt is a nurse at one of the hospitals and has been for almost 20 years. So I did not need too much help from the Internet when it came to getting information about what happens with the Medical center. When I called my aunt to get some more information other than what I had learned by going, she had told me that the medical center had already improved on some things but also told me that there were other areas that could also use some improvements.…

    (Hagedorn & Quinn, 2004, p. 2). According to Hagedorn (2004), “Health promotion, knowledge of disease prevention, teaching and counseling functions, and patient advocacy” are necessary skills described by the American Academy of Nurse Practitioners; however, there is no mention of the NP-patient relationship in their statement (p. 2).

    Ecological design is a major part of our coming future and is necessary for the prosperity of our species as caretakers for the world. Sim Van Der Ryn and Stuart Cowan, in their book Ecological Design, address five principles in design that will help to move society in the right direction. These principles are: solutions from your place, ecological accounting, designing with nature, everyone is a designer, and making nature visible.
