Being a member of the interstate nurse licensure compact, will allow the nurse more flexibility to practice in the different states within the compact state. The nurse can respond to a state of emergency located in the compact state. For example, with the most recent catastrophic event that occurred in Texas with the hurricane Harvey. The local nurses were over worked and desperately needed relief from the long hours in response to hurricane Harvey. Since Texas is a member of the interstate nurse license compact, this allowed a quicker response to the catastrophic event and the nurses where able to find relief from their duties quickly. If Texas was not a member of the interstate nurse licensure compact, with the entire state of Texas being considered a state of emergency, and there would have been a delay with the nurses in the state of Texas with relief from their duties.…

    From these chapter I have gain the knowledge of know, the delivery of health traditionally evolved around the individual relationship between the provider and patient/consumer. The payment was either provided by a health insurance company or paid out of pocket by the consumer.

As healthcare costs continued to spiral out of control throughout the decades, more experiments with contract practice and prepaid service occurred randomly across the U.S. healthcare system (Shi & Singh, 2008)…

    Though all of Creon’s decisions caused many deaths to happen and much sadness to come to him he still gets some sympathy. Creon says: “Nothing you say can touch me more. – My own blind has throught me from darkness to finish darkness -… I was the fool, not you: and you died for me” (Exodos, line 95). This shows that he knows he was a “fool” and regrets what he has done. It also shows that he is unhappy about the way he handled the situation. A person could show sympathy, in that all he feels is “darkness”, and anyone who has experienced loss understands this pain and suffering that he is going through.

    In Act 3 scene 5 Romeo and Juliet have just woken up. Romeo says he must leave but Juliet doesn't want him to go: "Thou need'st not to be gone." Shakespeare coveys a loving and caring atmosphere through his use of language in this scene: "believe me, love, it was the nightingale." Capulet decides Juliet will get married to Paris in three days time. It is important this is revealed before the scene as it creates dramatic irony because the audience knows such a significant detail of the play, yet Juliet doesn't, even though it's her getting married. Shakespeare uses the contrast between love and hate to add tension to the scene, like when Capulet clashes with a distraught Juliet after she refuses to marry Paris.…
