P versus NP problem

containing financials. Watching the multicoloured, rotating beach ball of death on the screen, I fantasized that somehow the numbers would be different; that somehow, this time, when Excel opened, I would be rich. It would be years before I discovered the irony of the situation. Apple’s Steve Jobs picked the iconic beach ball after having a dream where one prevented him from moving forward; he was stuck. On this particular day, the hypnotic colours brought new questions. Why did I bother going to university? Why did I leave my comfortable corporate job to start a business? Should I buy food or pay rent this month? How much longer could I survive on my diet of tomatoes and coffee? A month earlier, I ran a calculation on nutritional density versus cost and discovered that vegetables would be a cost-effective way to stay alive. The tomato was king. Excel opened, and the gravity of my situation appeared in bold on the spreadsheet. This would be the last month I would be running my one-person company. I bit into a tomato and got to work. I decided it would not be the last month. In my mid-twenties, I made a choice to succeed in the cutthroat business of executive headhunting. I had completed two university degrees. I had an excellent job in a downtown high-rise. However, I was not satisfied with the so-called status quo.

Overall, physicians and APRNs have differing practice and demographic profiles that should not be limited or restricted when providing patient care. APRNs have an increase tendency to practice more in urban or rural areas, treat more vulnerable populations, and make less money than physicians. Conover and Richards (2015) report APRNs and physicians have advantages in reaching different patient populations, supporting the increased utilization of the health system in general. The demand of…

finding a uniform standard of payment becomes difficult. Society is tied to the notion that physicians are the only ones able to provide health services. Thus, majority is stuck in the “cure” mentality versus “care” mentality. APNs are undervalued primary care providers who can provide the “cure” to many diseases and at the same time provide the “care” needed through health promotion and maintenance. As a result, some states require supervising physician’s co-signature duplicating orders for…

Science in Nursing (ADN) degree. Afterwards I begin my nursing career at Saint Joseph East Hospital on the Telemetry floor and was told that I would have five years to obtain my BSN. I had always planned to go back to college and obtain my BSN, but I decided to take a year off from school to focus on building my nursing career first.
