Professional Values

11.0K
Nurses are responsible for caring for patients during birth, death, illness, and healing. Professional values guide the decisions and actions that nurses make in their careers. If nurses know the decisions and actions to take, providing patients with exceptional care is possible.
The values that are the foundation of the nursing profession are altruism, autonomy, human dignity, and social justice.
First, altruism refers to the concern for the welfare and well-being of others without personal...

The Professional Nurse01:22

The Professional Nurse

6.9K
Professional nurses are not limited to bedside care and are taking roles of greater responsibility. A nurse should have a knowledge-based practice, including personal, theoretical, procedural, cultural, and reflexive knowledge. Additionally, nurses must be competent in cognitive, technical, interpersonal, and ethical/legal skills. Some of the best attributes of successful nurses include the following:
Communication skills: These are critical characteristics, especially speaking and listening.

As the human population continues to grow and use resources, we must be mindful of our planet’s natural limits. Sustainable development provides a pathway to maintain and improve human life now while also ensuring that future generations will have the resources that they need. The long-term success of sustainability efforts rests on understanding the interplay between human actions and ecological systems.

Characteristics of Practical Op Amps01:16

Characteristics of Practical Op Amps

881
A difference amplifier, a crucial component in numerous electronic devices, ideally amplifies only the difference-mode signal, which is the difference between two input signals. However, in practical circuits, the output voltage depends on both the differential gain and the common-mode gain.
The ratio of differential gain to the common-mode gain is defined as the common-mode rejection ratio (CMRR). This ratio quantifies the ability of operational amplifiers (op-amps) to reject common-mode...

Theoretical Foundations of Nursing Practice

18.0K
Theories play an essential role in organizing patient care. Theories refer to a proposed or followed belief, policy, or procedure that is the basis for action. Nursing theories are knowledge-based concepts that guide nurses' actions, influence nursing education and practice, and allow nurses to care for their patients.
Theories provide a perspective to assess patients' conditions and organize data and methods. They also assist in analyzing and interpreting information. They represent a...

Equivalent Circuits for Practical Transformers01:28

Equivalent Circuits for Practical Transformers

1.4K
The practical equivalent circuits of single-phase two-winding transformers exhibit significant deviations from their idealized versions due to the inherent properties of winding resistance and finite core permeability. These properties result in real and reactive power losses, affecting the transformer's performance. Understanding these deviations is crucial for designing more efficient transformers.
In a practical transformer, each winding exhibits resistance and leakage reactance. The...

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Local development workers strategically manage their skills and backgrounds to meet NGO expectations for "local staff." These practices, while enabling employment, reinforce industry hierarchies and limit worker influence.

Area of Science:

  • Social Sciences
  • Development Studies
  • Sociology

Background:

  • International non-governmental organizations (NGOs) categorize staff as national (local) or international (expatriate).
  • This classification is traditionally based on presumed differences in expertise and worker biographies.
  • The study focuses on the experiences of Angolan professionals within an international democratization program.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To examine how low-tier development workers in international NGOs strategically present themselves.
  • To demonstrate how these social practices fulfill industry expectations for "local staff" roles.
  • To analyze the implications of these practices for individual goals and broader industry inequalities.

Main Methods:

  • Qualitative case study approach.
  • Examination of social practices related to skills, knowledge, and family circumstances.
  • Analysis of how these practices align with or diverge from NGO expectations.

Main Results:

  • Development workers strategically emphasize or conceal aspects of their identity and skills to secure employment.
  • These practices grant access to international organizations and facilitate personal/professional objectives.
  • The reinforcement of hierarchical inequalities within the development sector is a key outcome.

Conclusions:

  • Professional distinctions in development work are socially constructed and strategically manipulated.
  • These distinctions serve as tools for individuals and NGOs, rather than objective reflections of work.
  • The study reveals how individuals may perpetuate unequal structures, even when disadvantaged by them.
