According to Yusuf (2010) “One of the debates that hospitals engage in is whether to have an open or closed ICU. The facility at which I currently practice has been having ongoing discussions with regard to this very issue. We have a very good intensive care unit for a moderate sized community Hospital of 200 beds. Up to about 2 years ago we had an open intensive care unit.

I am a compilation of firsts and I have never been more proud of this fact than I am now. To begin, I am the first of my immediate family to attend and graduate from a four year university.

CAH is a genetic disorder that affects the general health, growth, and development of the body. Not only does this condition involve the taking of daily medication for the rest of my…

Two weeks before my 16th birthday got my first job. I held a part time sales associates job at Herbergers department store. I loved the financial freedom having a job had given me. I no longer needed to ask my parents for money, if I wanted something I bought it. When I was growing up whenever I had asked my parents for money, I always had to answer two questions, Do you really need this and why. No matter what their final answer was, it never failed to include lecture about how hard they worked…

tolerate my "slacking off" in his emergency room. Telling Johnson my reluctance to ghostwrite a journal article for him shouldn't be misinterpreted as "slacking off," I walked away, and went looking for an emergency to handle.
