Cross Training in the Rural Maternity Unit
[ send me this essay ]
A 5 page proposal discussing an organizational change to make better use of available human resources. Rosewood Hospital is a very small, rural hospital facing staff utilization difficulties. The entire maternity ward consists of only two beds, but the hospital maintains a staff of two full-time and two part-time maternity RNs. It would seem that this is quite enough, and it is in the absence of the need on the part of any maternity nurse to miss a scheduled shift. The purpose here is to propose an organizational change involving the cross training of another nurse. This solution meets maternity’s short-notice needs while yet allowing the non-maternity functions of the hospital to remain fully staffed during training. Bibliography lists 8 sources.

Cultural Variations in End of Life Care
[ send me this essay ]
A 6 page discussion of the variation in the way we as families tend to the needs of our dying family members. The author notes that while at one time in U.S. history all families, irrespective of culture, took an active role in dying needs of their loved ones, today many of us have turned that responsibility over to health care professionals. There are, however, exceptions to this observation.
