Kohn’s article “The Case against Grades” (Kohn, 2011) effectively captures the anxiety that most students have about grades. “In fact, students would be a lot better off without either of these relics from a less enlightened age” (Kohn, 2011) Kohn writes. I agree with Kohn’s position in this article because there were many days in high school where I remember skipping due to the fact that I didn’t fully understand what was being taught to me. I, in turn, grew anxious about not being good enough…

In this interesting case study, I learned what kind of effects IT can have on businesses. Overall, I believe that the partnership between IT and the business at Hefty Hardware has its miscommunication issues. They can be effective with the right help from executives by making sure that each does their attended workload and not mixing and matching by having the IT department work cross functionally. The partnership between both groups does not hold up effectively at all. I personally believe that…

with another challenge; we are to traverse the great divide between research and our patients. Fortunately, a bridge has been built to enable us to cross that gap between research and the patients; aptly we shall refer to this bridge as evidence-based practice (EBP). This bridge is one of the a landmarks in our road map to autonomous practice. To fully understand and incorporate EBP we need to see the processes involved. This paper will walk us through the salient steps I took in EBP- from…

million documents (Khabsa & Giles, 2014).

Evidence based practice directly impacts the care we provide our patients and improve current practices. According to Jones (2014), “Practicing health professionals are able to offer a distinct perspective from academic researchers, making their contributions to the development of healthcare services research very important”. As healthcare providers it is important that we are active in research and look for ways to improve the care that is provided to patients. Nurses can provide invaluable…

Fain (2013), states that “evidence-based practice relies on evidence from research and refers to clinicians making an effort to integrate research findings into clinical thinking and decision making (p. 5). Fain also goes to state that we, as nurses, can improve the roles of nursing by asking questions such as “What is the best evidence for this practice?” or “What are the highest achievable outcomes for the patient, family, and nurse?” (p. 5). Where I currently work, I triage individuals that…
