Describe the differences between a board of nursing and a professional nurse association

  Nursing is a very highly regulated profession. There are over 100 boards of nursing and national nursing associations throughout the United States and its territories. Their existence helps regulate, inform, and promote the nursing profession. With such numbers, it can be difficult to distinguish between BONs and nursing associations, and overwhelming to consider various benefits and options offered by each. Both boards of nursing and national nursing associations have significant impacts on the nurse practitioner profession and scope of practice. Understanding these differences helps lend credence to your expertise as a professional. In this Assignment, you will practice the application of such expertise by communicating a comparison of boards of nursing and professional nurse associations. You will also share an analysis of your state board of nursing. To Prepare: Assume that you are leading a staff development meeting on regulation for nursing practice at your healthcare organizat

knowledge worker” was first coined by management consultant and author Peter Drucker in his book, The Landmarks of Tomorrow (1959).

  The term “knowledge worker” was first coined by management consultant and author Peter Drucker in his book,  The Landmarks of Tomorrow  (1959). Drucker defined knowledge workers as high-level workers who apply theoretical and analytical knowledge, acquired through formal training, to develop products and services. Does this sound familiar? Nurses are very much knowledge workers. What has changed since Drucker’s time are the ways that knowledge can be acquired. The volume of data that can now be generated and the tools used to access this data have evolved significantly in recent years and helped healthcare professionals (among many others) to assume the role of knowledge worker in new and powerful ways. In this Assignment, you will consider the evolving role of the nurse leader and how this evolution has led nurse leaders to assume the role of knowledge worker. You will prepare a PowerPoint presentation with an infographic (graphic that visually represents information, data, or knowl

Java - Binary Tree. Will leave an upvote.

  Lab Goal :    Java - Binary Tree. Will leave an upvote. This lab was designed to teach you more about Binary Trees.  Lab Description : Write a binary search tree class. For the base lab,  you must write the following methods :: preOrder, postOrder, inOrder,  revOrder, getNumLeaves, getNumLevels, getWidth, getHeight, getNum Nodes,  toString, is Full. The following method groups are extra credit. Each  group will net you an extra ten points on your base 100 point lab grade.  You can complete any or all of the options in any order you prefer.  Complete as many of these options as you can. Group 1 :: write a method  to search the tree for a value and return true or false Group 2 :: write  getLargest and getSmallest methods to return the smallest and largest  tree values Group 3 :: write a level order traversal using the Java  LinkedList as a Queue Group 4 :: write a method to remove a node from  the tree - must be recursive Group 5 :: write a method to display the  tree like a tree-level

Financial application: compute the future investment value

  6.7 (Financial application: compute the future  investment value) Write a method that computes future investment value  at a given interest rate for a specified number of years. The future  investment is determined using the formula in Programming Exercise 2.21.  Use the following method header: public static double  futureInvestmentValue(double investmentAmount, double  monthlyInterestRate, int years) For example,  futureInvestmentValue(10000, 0.05/12, 5) returns 12833.59. Write a  program that prompts the user to enter the investment amount (e.g.,  1000) and the interest rate (e.g., 9%) and prints a table that displays  future value for the years from 1 to 30, as shown below. First, truncate  the future value values to two decimals (See Chapter 2). Then use the  System.out.printf() method to format the output (See Chapter 4).    Program name:   Lab06.java   Sample Runs: The amount invested: 1000 Annual interest rate: 5 Years      Future Value  1              1051.16  2
