This is an article written by Doug Gross at CNN, on January 30, 2014 about the 5 ways that Facebook has changed us, in both good and bad ways. The article sums up the 5 things about Facebook that has changed us the most and gives us the benefit and the negative of such thing. The first thing the article talks about is how awesome it is to be able to share events with a bunch of people at one time. It talks about how much easier it has become to just post a status about getting married and have 500 people find out that way. The negative part of this is that people tend to overshare about things that people don’t want to know, such as how their kid’s potty training is going. The next big thing they talk about with Facebook is the past is not always the past. The good news is that people can find people from their past much easier, such as college roommates and old high school friends. The bad part about this is that people you don’t want to be in contact with, such as exes, will still be a part of your timeline, or they can still find you. The third thing that Doug Gross found to have changed us through Facebook is that it can either make you happy or unhappy. A survey done at the University of Texas showed that people who use Facebook most are more socially and politically involved. In regards to unhappiness, it can make people envy others and start to dislike their own lives. An example of this is when someone is happily married and having kids, and their friend on Facebook just got a divorce, it is probably going to upset them to see their friend post pictures or statuses about their happy family. Another thing in Facebook that has changed us is that it is so easy to reunite with people that there is no point in a reunion. If people are posting things everyday for their old friends to see, what is the point in ever meeting up with them to reminisce on the good times they had together. And finally, the fifth thing that has changed us through Facebook is our privacy. The good thing that Facebook does is allows us to choose who can see what. So if someone posts something they know they will get in trouble for, they can block their family members from seeing it. The bad news is that it is the Internet, someone will always find a way around this and will be able to see anything you post. This article does a wonderful job on pinpointing things that have changed in our lives from one measly social media site.

This relates to what we have been talking about because in our forums we have been discussing how social media and other terms of internet communication have changed our lives. We all talk about how posting things on twitter and Facebook can be a problem, but this article has given us the benefit of those problems. Many people have posted that we have all been so dependent on the internet in our lives and this article just proves us right in a way where we are constantly learning about other people’s lives from what they post and no one wants to get together in person anymore because they can just check their Facebook update. We have become so impersonal from social media networks.

    Cretikos et al. (2008) stated that nurses do believe that pulse oximetry is an adequate monitoring of ventilation. However, pulse oximetry measurement has not been demonstrated to be a specific indicator of serious illness, and it lacks specificity. This is clear evidence that nurses lack the required skills and knowledge to undertake a comprehensive respiratory assessment (Meredith and Massey 2010).…

    Once Facebook was created it opened up people’s minds in different ways to see what’s going around daily. The pros of Facebook are endless to the users. Even if a user is not into world news, or what is going on around the world they can view it if a friend of theirs share a post about it. This attracts the user that does not care to start thinking about how important what is going around in our world is. As it was mentioned earlier, with every positive there is a negative. Facebook allows the user to post whatever they want to post without any limits, unless whomever the post offends reports the post that offended them to the company. However, this creates more hate than there is into the people. How many suicide cases have we heard that where caused by social media cyber bullying. Even though Facebook every day builds more privacy options into the network barely any user uses…

    Although the conditions that Peggy McIntosh writes about in her article “White Privilege: Unpacking the Invisible Knapsack” are not as present as they were in the past and the United States has been moving away from race being and identifying factor of a person, RACISM is still a modern issue in the US. I would say about seventy percent of what is on that list still is in effect today. Being Latino has proved this to me. Living in specific areas or cities where youth is looked at negatively, me and my friends (black people) were stopped frequently by the cops and multiple times I was the only one that was not searched or had my ID asked for to check my record. Everyone else in my circle never experienced not being checked. When I got curious and asked a cop why this was he responded with “you do not fit the profile of who we are looking for”. The only real difference in appearance with me and my friends was the skin tone.…

    Receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs) are known to be key regulators of normal cellular processes such as differentiation, migration, proliferation and survival, but they also have a critical role in the development and progression of many types of human cancers. Before the published work concerning ROR1 was available it was unknown whether other cancers besides leukemia expressed ROR1 or whether its expression had functional and clinical significance. This paper investigated whether ROR1 had any consequence to breast cancer. Using a high-affinity mAb specific for ROR1 (4A5) to examine human breast cancers, this study demonstrated that ROR1 is expressed in human breast cancers and is indicative of potential targets for breast cancer therapies. Building on prior research the authors affirmed that the ROR1 associations with human breast cancer contributed to tumor-cell growth and survival via the activation of PI3K, AKT, and cAMP-response-element-binding protein (CREB).…

    The term behavioral blend refers to an individual’s personality not as one singular aspect but a compilation of four different temperaments as stated by Carbonell. I found the lecture on behavioral blend to be extremely interesting as being a counselor is going to lead me to working with individuals that have a multitude of different personality types. The four types of temperament, per the Four Temperament Model of Human Behavior or the DISC Personality types are D-active/task oriented, I-active/people oriented, S- passive/people oriented, and K- passive/task oriented. By learning about the four different personality types according to Carbonell, I believe that I will be able to successfully counsel my future clients due to an understanding from each different sector.…

    The second article that I chose for this week was relating to the most common population that is seen in the pediatric developmental clinic: premature infants. The article begins with an introduction informing the reader of some statistical information relating to premature births and the costs of hospital stays. In the introduction, the problem is presented, informing the reader that there is a need for interventions that are evidenced-based, to help reduce hospital stays and, in turn, lower hospital costs. The specific intervention being researched is a Premature Infant Oral Motor Intervention (PIOMI) (Lessen, 2011). Oral motor skills are one of the most common underdeveloped skills in premature infants, which can lead to a delay in the ability to coordinate a sufficient suck, swallow, breathe pattern. A detailed background was given to define the term “oral stimulation”, and to describe previous interventions used to stimulate these fine oral motor skills and improve feeding progression in premature infants less than 34 weeks gestation. Some further background discussed other current studies of different intervention plans, but none evaluating infants less than 30 weeks gestation, as this one does. Three hypothesis were stated that were used for conducting the research for this study (Lessen, 2011).…

    Obtaining a patient’s history is of utmost importance, for the nurse or healthcare provider, when conducting a patient assessment. It is during this time the patient presents valuable and pertinent information. Also, it is at this time a relationship is evolved between the nurse and patient. Prior to taking the history it is important to prepare the environment. The nurse may come across many varied environments. Such as, patient’s homes, emergency room, clinics, community settings, and different areas of the hospital. Having all needed equipment accessible and area to avoid interruption is important. The environment should support safety for both the patient and nurse. Making sure enough time is allotted to conduct the assessment is stressed. “Not allowing enough time can result in incomplete information, which may adversely affect the patient’s care”(Lloyd & Craig, 2007,p.42).…
