Why would members of a community seek treatment for illness from traditional healers? What is your OPINION of traditional healers or of non-nurse midwives? When you were growing up, did your parents (or grandparents) use alternative therapies when someone was ill.

Culture and Health

1.What are some of the key human resource challenges that low and middle income countries face in staffing and operating their health systems? (CH. 6). What are YOUR thoughts about what you read? Address the term brain “drain” in your answer. What are the ethical issues in educating health care workers in a developing country – and those health care workers migrating to developed countries in order to earn higher salaries (in most instances leaving the original country in great need of qualified nurses and physicians)? How would YOU propose to solve these issues? Cite your textbook at least once (page number only).

For the following, you will choose to answer EITHER 2A or 2B (your choice). Be sure to indicate which one you are answering. (CH. 6 and CH. 7). WRITE ABOUT 2A

2 A. What proportion of their GDP do countries generally spend on health? Why is there such a wide range? (CH. 6). What are YOUR thoughts about what you read? Cite your textbook at least once (page number only).

3. Why would members of a community seek treatment for illness from traditional healers? What is your OPINION of traditional healers or of non-nurse midwives? When you were growing up, did your parents (or grandparents) use alternative therapies when someone was ill (eg in my family, my mother rubbed Vick’s on our chests when we had a cold)? (CH. 7).

4. Find someone, anyone but yourself, who was raised in another country. Ask them about their experiences with health care in that country. You can talk with other health care folks where you work (a great way to have a conversation with someone you work with) – or any other person. YES. That person can be from Canada. Answer these questions: a. who was this person (name not necessary but were they a colleague, friend, relative, someone you ran into at Starbucks, etc); b. what did they tell you and what was MOST surprising to you in what they told you?

5. What are your thoughts about what I wrote above in the last two paragraphs to the introduction to this unit above? The first paragraph begins with “Finally…..”. Right above my name. The two paragraphs are highlighted in light yellow.

In a class like this, it is always OK and perfectly acceptable to disagree with the teacher – and present your own thinking about this or any other topic. You’re in a safe place to learn.

Finally, here is something that I tell my face to face students: Being “poor doesn’t mean you’re stupid; it means you,re poor”. I’ve traveled all over the world and worked in some extremely dire, horrible situations. I’ve met so many people. Many are JUST as smart as we are (you and me). They just have no or little access to resources.

Create a PowerPoint presentation with 10-12 slides that proposes a systematic process for determining the effectiveness of the nursing program for a sample course.

Program Effectiveness Presentation

Create a PowerPoint presentation with 10-12 slides that proposes a systematic process for determining the effectiveness of the nursing program for a sample course.

Introduction

Course analytics are important in guiding the revision process as well as further development of your evaluation strategies and documentation. As a nursing educator, you must establish and maintain analytical data to demonstrate to your stakeholders that your course is meeting the learning and program outcomes.

Program effectiveness depends not only on internal factors but also on external factors. Course outcomes should be based on the program learning outcomes and placed in an evaluation plan. Program outcomes evaluate the effectiveness of the whole program.

Overview

Create a PowerPoint presentation with 10–12 slides that proposes a systematic process for determining the effectiveness of the nursing program for your new course.

While you will not have access to real analytical data from real learners to show how the course is meeting the learning and program outcomes, you should still be able to use the formative feedback from the instructor you received for your earlier assessments, as well as scholarly research to think critically about a process that could potentially guide improvement efforts for the nursing program in which the course is being hypothetically offered.
