    During the summer months of 1996, a young girl, Amber Hagerman was riding her bike down the neighborhood streets in Arlington, Texas. Only nine years old, she was abducted by a white or Hispanic man driving a dark truck, while Amber was screaming for her life.

    Pamela Spencer Case

    Pamela Spencer, the manager of HouseMart in Port Madison, New York was confronted by one of the store’s regular customers, Mrs. Kerns concerning the state of her installed cedar fencing after a severe wind and rain storm had hit the area. Mrs. Kerns had contacted HouseMart’s installation manager earlier that morning complaining of her fence leaning at a 45-degree angle and after the installation manager’s inspection, he found that since the fence had been properly installed there was essentially nothing he could do and suggested to Mrs. Kerns that she should contact her insurance company. Mrs. Kerns was unsatisfied with the installation manager’s response and entered the store later that day to confront Pamela just as the store was preparing to close. Pamela explained to Mrs. Kerns that she should give her the pictures of the damaged fencing so she could look at them personally but there isn’t much she could do at the time because the store is closing, and then suggested that Mrs. Kerns return to the store the following day to discuss the matter further. Mrs. Kerns agreed to return the next day to discuss the issue at length, leaving Pamela in a predicament about what to tell Mrs. Kerns concerning her fencing.…

    Carolyn Howard Case Summary

    During the trial, Carolyn Howard, magistrate of the case, was fair in terms of applying the law. What I perceived about her was that she was a very wise magistrate because she never lost control of the situation. On the contrary, she stayed calm and never said anything with disrespect to others. However, from a moral perspective, I think that the case was not fair with the male who was involved in it since he was not the biological father of the child. If I had the opportunity to change the statute, I would rewrite it in some way that the legal father will be able to disestablish paternity and left him away from any responsibility related to the child. Also, I morally believe that the mother is the one who should be responsible for her acts.…

    Kristen Swanson Summary

    Kristen Swanson (1991) began her career as an OB nurse and was interested in the effects that miscarriages and death of younger children had on mothers. Swanson and her colleagues began to look at how the mothers handled the circumstances of the death of a child at a young age over the course of three studies done during the 1980’s. What was discovered was that the staff members were able to help the mothers during these periods by showing compassionate care for the patients and the families. Swanson was a student of Jean Watson, who is another nursing theorist interested in the idea of caring. Swanson began the journey of researching caring while at a support group for women that had miscarried a child. The physician that was giving the lecture…

    Sarah Koenig's Case Analysis

    My feelings and perspective on this issue are mixed. I do support Adnan from my understanding on this case and also through Sarah Koenig's observations. I do support most of his story but I find it peculiar that some parts don't add up and they aren't always on track. So this leads to my conclusion that yes, I do believe Jay committed the murder. The thing that catches me off guard the most is the constant lies and inconsistencies. He even admits to the lies! Sarah implies, "So, at least say, six times he's told what happened, and each time details shift."There are at least six inconsistencies here but the one that stood out the most was "Jay says he refused to dig a grave for Hae. Two weeks later, he says they both dug the hole." Now, for…

    Given the situation with Sara's attire, it would be beneficial to offer her a few suggestions as to what is the appropriate interview attire. Perhaps she can put a jacket over her short-sleeved shirt. The first impression in which the interviewer makes of you is extremely critical. It can either help you get hired or hurt you when they say they will call you and they never do! As far as Sara giving her cover letter to the interviewer and telling them, *it's in there* What would be an appropriate action to take? In your opinion, do you think Sara got hired?…

    Personal Narrative: My Goals For Pregnancy

    My goals for residency are simple – to continuously learn in order to educate and heal. Although I have been involved in the community in various ways for many years, I am truly excited to start giving back to society from a different perspective – that of a physician, of a person’s first stop in their most vulnerable of times. Family Medicine is a broad field that will challenge me in many ways, but I am ready to enhance my knowledge in a program that fosters learning through a supportive, team approach where patients and their futures are the greatest concerns.…

    Essay On Nursing Experience

    As a reluctant and nervous nineteen-year-old, I walked in to my first day as a nurse aid to a brightly lit, and mostly bubble gum pink Women’s Service’s unit. I worked there through nursing school; and happily accepted a job as a nurse after graduating. Nine years, and a lot of joy, tears, and learning in between, I continue to call this place my home. There is much satisfaction in being part of the continuum of care of women and families during the antepartum, labor and delivery, and the postpartum period, as well as the care of her newborn baby, and for some women, before and after gynecological surgeries. This mostly happy area of practice is not immune to tragedy, and the to have ability to be with a family and counsel them in their…

    Underserved Populations

    I have lived in the southwest my entire life, and I understand the unique medical disparities that and specific to this area of the country. In becoming a physician I hope to provide care to underserved populations similar to the population I was raised in, and be a vocal advocate for increasing access to medicine in rural areas. Specifically at the CU SOM I am interested in CU-UNITE, and the Rural Track programs. These programs fit with my goals of providing care to underserved populations, and I look forward to firsthand experience and being immersed in the community while providing care. Working in Mother/Baby Care I see firsthand the effect that lack of access to health care has on families. For instance, we frequently deal with mothers who have had scant or no prenatal care because they did not have the means of getting to a doctor. These cases often require intensive care, and thusly a costly bill when preventative measures could have been more effective and more manageable in cost. With new legislation will come a need for innovative techniques for providing quick, cost effective care. Allowing students to gain experience and help facilitate the coming changes, is what I hope to bring to these tracks and experiences.…
