“Who Tipped my Cow?” Change is a sometimes evil necessity. To be honest who really likes change? Ask any group of people: young students, adults in the workforce, or retired elderly. No one is very fond of change. Nursing is not so different; traditional practices become entrenched and resistant to change—these are commonly referred to as “sacred cows” (Hanrahan, Wagner, Matthews, Stewart, Dawson, Greiner, &… Williamson, 2015, p. 3).

The first standard, enhance…

Why do you buy? It sounds almost silly to ask. We buy to acquire goods that we need or desire, right? As it turns out, the answer may not be that simple at all. As Paco Underhill explains in his book, Why We Buy, there is an entire intricate science behind how and why we buy what we do and how we go about doing so. Some of his claims sound far-fetched at first, but once I entered retail environments with this new found observing attitude I could see his research come to life. One night I went…

Their actions made it seem as if they were going to pay for the services rendered. What’s scary to me is how they simply used this smaller company for their benefit.…
