According to the Joint Commission 2014, clinical alarm systems are designed to alert staff for any potential patient problems, but they can jeopardize the patient safety, if they are not managed and responded properly. Nurses are known for their ability of multitasking, but everything has a limit. Due to multiple interruptions and distractions, including alarms systems, nurses develop alarm fatigue and try to tune them out and ignore them. "Alarm fatigue occurs when clinicians become desensitized and nonreactive to the sensory overload created by an overwhelming number of alarms, many of which are nuisance or non-actionable alarms” (NACNS 2013-2014).

As a child a lot was expected of me being the only girl. My mother in particular

Alarm fatigue is recognized by The Joint Commission as a serious patient safety issue, with alarm mismanagement as being the root cause of alarm fatigue (The Joint Commission, 2013). Numerous regulatory and nursing organizations have published strategies to manage alarm fatigue, however evidence is lacking on the best methodology of educating nurses to alarm management. Put one or two lines of the problem the spurred this project. The aim of this study is to compare the effect of online education methodology versus traditional education methodology on the number of false and non-actionable alarm in a cardiac intensive care unit. Historically, the cardiac intensive care unit continues to have an excess number of false and non-actionable alarms despite previous attempts at raising awareness of alarm fatigue.

Robert Bly’s “Waking from Sleep” explores the thoughts and events that occur at night as the country recovers from the war that has just occurred. In the first stanza of the poem, the narrator is addressing the war, the reader can confirm this because he states “tiny explosions at the waterlines” (line2) and “wind of the salty blood” (line 3). The reader is immediately informed that a war has occurred because of the navies setting forth, tiny explosions and salty blood. In the second stanza, the narrator is describing the months after the war. The memories still remain of the tragic events that have occurred. In the third stanza things for the narrator start looking brighter. The country is now rising from bed and waking up. However, the memories of those who have passed away are remembered as their shouts are heard from the harbor. Throughout the fourth, and final stanza the country is healing. The country is singing, and dancing in the kitchen. The author portrays that those who are lost are never forgotten, and the country is reminded of their memories every morning at dawn when silence sweeps the nation.

In “Waking Up and Taking Charge,” Anya Kamenetz is persuading us to ignite the flame and fight for our rights as students. Young adults need to stop focusing on global issues and start focusing on problems regarding their personal and financial lives. It is important that students put a freeze on global issues and better things for themselves while they are in school, because it will help them in the long run. “Waking Up and Taking Charge” seems to be about pushing young adults to be selfish toward their own problems, but it is really about students taking a stand and fighting for their political views by focusing on problems that have yet to be addressed. “Adultescents” should fight for better lower tuition costs and better financial aid to help them financially, and should work together to bring these situations to light.

In therapy, I discovered that I was codependent. I was constantly manipulated by my mother, desperately needing her approval, but to no avail. As I learned to cope with everything my mother had put and puts me through, I realized my self-worth. I was able to help people again. Not only could I help people again, but I willingly accepted help, especially from my therapist. I would talk for four sessions in a row with her never saying anything, and I would reach the conclusions to the problems myself. That’s when I realized that a therapist is exactly what I want to be for the rest of my life.

I am an African American women who has been limited to different stereotypes in my community all my life. When I was younger I was shamed for not being black enough. I never listened to rap music and my head was always in a book. Other black people did not accept me because it was not okay to listen to Taylor Swift or get A’s in school.

Even though my depression is in my past and I have overcame it. It still haunts me daily. I am in a constant state of paranoia that I will fall helplessly back into it.

Although my race is white, my ethnicity or my linage comes from a Caucasian mother and a Hawaiian/Filipino father. Right at the get go, I knew I was white with dark skin; however, one of my first experience I can recall about “differences” between people of other race was when I brought one of my ‘black’ friends at my parents’ house for dinner. The whole event was harmonious, as far as I remember, except when my friend was gone, my mother expressed to me how uncomfortable it was for her to bring a black boy to her house. From that moment on, I realized that I was raised from a prejudice point of view about African American people. Comments such as how much in trouble they get with the law, and how dangerous they can be, I knew that my mother was not only trying to protect me, but she was installing in me her own prejudice attitudes towards black people and, to a lower degree, other racial and ethnical groups in the

I always felt like I was not as good as everyone else but the way I acted it seemed that I thought I was better than everyone else. Around the time of this I was on a Select baseball team and the coach was very hard on us. We would practice weekday after school for three hours. This was very stressful and mad me not have time for anything else this is what contributed to most of the stress I was under. I then went to see a Therapist which as a kid I thought was not going to help. Also I did not want my friends to know I was going to a therapist because I was afraid they would make fun of me. However, once I started going to meet with him occasionally I could talk about anything and I felt like I could trust him with whatever I said. Eventually I got to the point to where I
