Collaboration

The United States Virgin Islands is one of four US territories. They have their own Board of Nursing, which determines requirements for licensure and defines scope of practice for registered nurses within the United States Virgin Islands in their Nurse Practice Act. It has been amended to include advanced practice registered nurses (APRN). This act, number 6736 of bill number 26-0028 which was added in 2005, gave Virgin Island APRN's the ability to treat patients to the partial extent of their…

Of the five responses to conflict which include, Avoidance, Accommodation, Aggression, Compromise, and Collaboration my default response is aggression. I do not attempt to avoid conflict, but rather face the conflict to work towards a solution. After the reading assignment I thought about how I have used the aggression response to conflict in the past, and that response was more focused on results rather than for people. Sometimes the aggression response was successful at both, a positive result…

In February of 2013, Marissa Mayer, the President and CEO of Yahoo, Inc., made a major change to the work setting of Yahoo employees. Mayer removed the ability of Yahoo employees to work remotely from home. Mayer’s reason for this decision was that speed and quality would be lost by allowing employees to work from home. According to the findings of the authors of Influencer, this reasoning is true. The findings show that those who work closer together with the most interaction have better…

than pragmatic character is the driving force behind the will to cooperate with their neighbours. It can actually be said that individual interest, funnily enough, is behind the dynamic of collaboration. Meaning that in their cost-benefit analysis, the governments of said states find that a successful collaboration and coexistence is a more viable trajectory for their policies, which ultimately ends up in the creation of agreements between them. This, at least appears to be the case in Eastern…

In elementary school, my science club built a 5-foot-long DNA double helix model. My excitement for genetics and collaboration never ceased. At Columbia, I hope to "build" a strong academic base in biology. Whether I go into pharmacy or pharmacology, biology will be an integral part of my studies. Observing a man who was shot five times and another who had severe brain trauma from a motorcycle accident affected me. I encountered these patients while on rounds at the LSU Intensive Care Unit. I…

Working in groups is a difficult thing, everyone has varying opinions on how things should be done and no one can ever meet at the same time. It is a challenging process just trying to get all group members to meet and once you do there is always the chance that one person changes their mind or forget, this results in slowing down the group and overall just making people annoyed. While working in my group I noticed several different concepts that had been discussed within the class occur in my…

truth rapidly, and faithfulness to themselves and colleagues turns into an essential need. Collaboration is another piece of control and an extremely essential ability. Seeing how to cooperate with other people can promise a lifetime of constructive connections. In additional curricular, understudies figure out how to empower others, lift others' spirits, commend wins and gain from misfortunes. Collaboration makes a modest nature, when we realize that a win is not exclusively our own to assume…

writing itself. Their relationship balances each other for why they need safety, but the reason both characters find safety is writing. “Write don’t think, writing is not about thinking” (Finding Forrester). Forrester uses the conflict style of collaboration with Jamal for both of them to receive the interpersonal need of safety; issuing his view about Jamal’s writing and Jamal writing pieces Forrester can edit. As a successful writer, Forrester also holds more experiences yet his wisdom about…

profession. Reports such as the Student Learning Imperative (SLI) (ACPA, 1996) and Principles of Good Practice (ACPA/ NASPA, 1997) have been welcomed for introducing a new student affairs philosophy focused on student learning and encouraging collaboration between student and academic affairs professionals. Certainly these reports have had the effect of energizing student affairs professionals and providing a call for the field. In 1993, ACPA President Charles Schroeder convened a group of…

these past few years, the Boettcher Foundation has played an integral role in enriching my undergraduate experience. With the International Education Grant, I encountered novel cultures abroad while studying in Glasgow, Scotland. Likewise, the Collaboration Grants I received these past two years kindled my curiosity and gave me access to some of the most incredible mentors and leaders in the biomedical sciences. Finally, my relationship with the Foundation’s staff has given me invaluable access…
