Quarterly Review

Progress Throughout the 2014 fall semester at the University of Evansville, I was enrolled in First Year Seminar with the topic title being: Sex, Love, and Lust. I enjoyed the class very much and I am very glad that I decided to take it. Throughout the course we wrote four papers, including a narrative, a response, a synthesis, and an argument. Each was difficult in its own way, but I managed to work through the issues I was having in the writing process and pull out with what I feel are really…

Introduction It is fundamentally important for nurses to develop and appreciate the process of integrating evidence and research conclusions into their clinical decision-making. Evidence-based practice (EBP) is one reliable process that assists in efficient clinical decision-making (Wong & Myers, 2015). This process has emerged as a means of improving clinical practice from a culture of nursing guidelines derived from authoritarian traditions, to practice developed upon the current…

Researching for general topics for the literature review over a few days and discussing the sources discovered helped me narrow down my topic to a specific subject; negative effects encountered by Native American communities living in the proximity to radioactive storage, mining, and testing sites. Learning…

Judiciary Act of 1789 was completely unconstitutional, after it was found that it was not possible to force a President to elect a justice, thus passing the Judiciary Act of 1801 and setting up a precedent to be used countless more times called judicial review. Marshall was able to come to this conclusion after using the so called Supremacy Clause, which states that “This Constitution, and the laws of the United States which shall be made in pursuance thereof [...] shall be the supreme law of…

There are two types of scholarly research, qualitative and quantitative; they are both distinct in nature. The article, Relationship of Core Self-Evaluations Traits – Self-esteem, Generalized Self-efficacy, Locus of Control, and Emotional Stability – With Job Satisfaction and Job Performance: A Meta-Analysis (Judge & Bono, 2001) is an example of quantitative research. In order to determine if the research article is credible and scholarly, it is important to not only look at the credibility of…

Judicial Branch having a strong system to provide checks and balances of the other branches of government, there should be a certain level of independence for the Judicial Branch. The Judicial Branch often has the last say in matters regarding judicial review, and because of this, they should be able to operate independently from the other two branches and serve as the final say in these matters. According to Padovano, Sgarra, & Fiorino, (2003), the judiciary is generally better positioned to…

1)Research is different from clinical problem solving in that research is a systematic process by which new knowledge is discovered through the gathering of data and information from different sources(Fain, 2013). In addition, research is also done to support knowledge that already exists based on a theory to build on or improve the information that already exists. This can be knowledge that is directly applied to our practice or knowledge that needs further validation before application…

When tasked with the responsibility of teaching, it is my intent to inspire interest and excitement in my students regarding the subject. However, I understand that every single student will not develop an interest in the material. Therefore, I believe my job is to engage students by providing them with skills that will enhance their academic identities, even when they have no interest in the subject. By enhancing students’ academic identities, I am providing them with skills that can be…

very important power early on in it’s life, this power was the power to declare laws unconstitutional or judicial review. This power allows the court to govern to a limited extent their word essentially becoming law. This may be seen as some as a bad thing, however in all reality it may be a necessity. The supreme court acts similar to a watchdog in many cases. The power of judicial review combined with the fact that it 's the highest court means that its decision is essentially law. However it…

disadvantageous effects to mechanically ventilated patients. Li et al. did not have firm conclusions, however, did suggest beginning early rehabilitation interventions, that could continue on through discharge to inpatient floors. Overall, the systematic reviews displayed positive outcomes from early ambulation, although, the evidence was weak/moderate and more research needs to be completed with more defined and consistent methods and measures. More research is needed to answer the PICO…
