ASSIGNMENT – A Day in the Life: Careers in the Geosciences

Paleontologists (study fossils and historical geology)

DIRECTIONS:

Please select a single field of study that catches your interest (see above; paleontologists) and dive deeper to become acquainted with a typical job description. In other words, investigate what these people do, where they do it, and appreciate as many details as possible. Find examples of what these jobs are all about and where one might be working if engaged in this type of work.

Now comes the fun part. I want you to imagine that you are that geoscientist and write about an experience you had doing your job. This should be in your own words, so do not copy and paste a job description from somewhere else. Please have fun with this, and use your imagination.

There is really no wrong answer, as this is a “day in the life” project. Focus on what these scientists might do, see, and, think. For example, you could write about a volcanologist setting up equipment near a volcano to try and predict when it will erupt. Other examples would be watching an active eruption, sampling lava, etc. Research a few fields of study or jobs to get a good feel for the job, and then imagine YOU are on the job. Write about your experience on the job.

Health Care Delivery Models And Nursing Practice

/in /by

 2 DQ 1

Interprofessional collaboration involves the handling and care of the patients in team-based approaches. Healthcare organizations encourage nurses to form teams that provide the services to the patients (MacDonell et al., 2019). It helps improve the coordination of care and avoid situations that can affect patient outcomes. Through interprofessional collaborations tha, nurses Clinical care errors are eliminated when interprofessional collaboration is promoted in hospitals. Since the team-based approach allows nurses to avoid errors in their practices (MacDonell et al., 2019).

For instance, they ensure that they have the skills. And expertise to provide services to patients in different clinical care settings. This decision allows the nurses only to serve patients where they are qualified to do so. The working teams also allow nurses to share skills as they work together to help patients (MacDonell et al., 2019). The advancement of the skills enables them to avoid the common clinical care practice mistakes. That can be constituted as errors. Hence, they advance their skills to provide higher-quality care, enhance patient safety, and eliminate clinical care errors.

current nature of interprofessional collaboration

Emerging and current trends are most likely to affect and change the current nature of interprofessional collaboration. An example of an existing trend is the lack of defined roles of the nursing professionals and their hierarchy in the interprofessional collaborations (Bollen et al., 2019). Many nurse leaders and managers are involved in interprofessional teamwork. The lack of healthcare organizations not defining their roles in the working groups is limiting their ability to provide better services to the patients. The trend is changing the nature of interprofessional collaboration since the environment being created is not encouraging nurses to take care of the patients in the team-based approaches (Bollen et al., 2019). This trend is most likely to increase the cases of clinical care errors affecting the patients since it will be hard to address the existing challenges in the interprofessional collaboration of nurse.
