    During my regular trips to Kenya I have witnessed first-hand the power of health within our world. Visiting one of the biggest slums in Africa (Kibera) has been a driving forces in my aspiration to work with young and vulnerable people; it ignited a belief and desire to make a difference and re-enforced my love for and interest in working with children. My interest in children’s nursing also stems from many hospital visits I was required to make as a child; I became inspired by the work of the medical professionals and how well I was treated, and wondered what it would be like to care for others. CHILDREN NURSING RELATED.…

    Most new businesses fail within the first five years of starting. Some people mistake a business for a hobby; just because you love something doesn't mean you should convert it into a business. Too often businesses fail because the owner feels their passion is shared by others. Other businesses plan poorly; yes, you must have a business plan. It can be a simple three page plan or a huge 20 page plan. The point is that you've looked at all the aspects of your business and are prepared to handle problems when they arise. Your business plan helps you to focus on your goals and your vision, as well as setting out plans to accomplishing them. Often businesses are very slow to get off the ground, you have to create and use a realistic business budget, and not constantly drain the business income on personal spending. There are so many roles to play when running a business, from marketing and selling in order to run a business effectively. On top of that, you have to understand the industry your business is in, the skills required to offer your products and services, and the trends in that industry. I think the main cause of businesses going under is poor customer service. Once you have a customer, you have to keep them. There are two key points to customer service make sure you pay attention to what the customer wants (and how these wants can change over time), and make sure you provide quick return of phone calls and emails, proper billing, problem solving and an overall pleasant demeanor. Competition will kill a new business, almost as quick as poor customer service. Customers will go where they can find the best products and services. It's important to know who your competition is, what they have to offer, and what makes your own products or services better. Putting off tasks that you don't enjoy will sink…

    These words represent one of the strongest motivations by which individuals seek to become entrepreneurs. An entrepreneur can simply be defined as someone who undertakes and operates a business venture. History has shown that many have chosen to chart this course of self employment in a bid to play a role in determining their own destinies. However, the process of undertaking the business venture is where the challenges and problems lie. There are a number of factors that could ultimately lead to the downfall of small businesses such as: the failure to draw a proper business plan, insufficient capital, entry of a new competitor, having a seasonal business; to mention a few. These factors can be grouped as internally generated; when caused by the entrepreneur himself, and externally generated, when caused by outside forces beyond his/her control.…

    A businesses success is determined by many factors, such as profits gained, customer satisfaction, employee satisfaction, and owner satisfaction. These successes are usually the output result of effective co-operation in the workplace. However, there is a certain barrier that hinders the process of good co-operation, they are known as “resistance to change.” There are two types of resistance in organizations, these are known as functional resistance and dysfunctional resistance. Functional resistance entails of; critically assessing whether change will lead to improvements, exploring the personal consequences of change and feeling of regret, anxiety or fear to a previous history of non-disclosure and poor working relations. Dysfunctional resistance in organizations revolve around; avoiding dealing with urgent and pressing issues, declining to work on what really needs to be done, blaming and criticizing without proposing alternatives, sabotaging change and non-collaboration with others.…
