Concept Synthesis Paper on Personal Nursing Philosophy

 
You are required to submit a scholarly paper in which you will identify, describe, research, and apply the concepts that underlie your personal philosophy for professional nursing practice.

This will help you identify your own values and beliefs about the established metaparadigms and metatheories of the discipline. It will also help you identify and articulate concepts relevant to your specific practice. This paper is intended to be an exercise in clarification and organization of your professional foundation. You are also required to provide a list of assumptions from personal nursing practice that illustrate the concepts and framework of your theory.

Your paper should follow a format that includes:

Nursing Autobiography: A brief (1 page) discussion of your background in nursing.
The Four Metaparadigms: Identification, discussion, and documentation from the literature of your perspective on the basic four metaparadigms/concepts of patient, nurse, health, and environment.
Two Practice-Specific Concepts: Identification, discussion, and documentation from the literature of your perspective on at least two other concepts specific to your own practice.
List of Propositions: A numbered list of at least five propositions or assumption statements that clearly connect the concepts described.
Each week, you will complete various segments of your Concept Synthesis Paper and submit it to the W1: Assignment 3 Dropbox for facilitator feedback when necessary. Your paper should integrate these discrete elements and reflect your personal nursing philosophy.

Your Concept Synthesis Paper on your Personal Nursing Philosophy is due in Week 3. However, it is recommended that you begin working on your paper from Week 1 onwards and complete the various components related to the paper week wise as you progress through the course. The suggested tasks for each week are:

Week 1: Nursing Biography and The Four Metaparadigms of Nursing
Week 2: Two Practice-specific Concepts, and List of Propositions/Assumptions
Week 3: Due: Concept Synthesis Paper on Personal Nursing Philosophy

Consider the following questions as you complete your various tasks related to this assignment.

1.

How do I define and employ the four basic metaparadigms of nursing theory in my professional practice?

2.

What are the major concepts I employ that are unique to my professional practice?

3.

What philosophies and theories from the literature of nursing and other disciplines/domains are consistent with these concepts?

4.

How are the concepts of transcultural nursing, the health promotion model, skill acquisition, role theory, and change theory specifically integrated into my philosophy and practice?

5.

What research supports these theories and concepts?

6.

How do I integrate role and change theory into my professional practice and how may these theories be applied to the organization in which I practice?

The paper is to be thoroughly researched and well documented, with relevant material from the nursing theorists presented incorporated into the paper. Use the current edition of the APA Manual throughout the paper. Sources should focus on references from nursing theory but may also include conceptual and theoretical material from other professional domains. The paper, excluding references or appendices, is to be limited to 6-10 pages. Writing should be succinct and well organized, as it is impossible for the facilitator to evaluate form and content separately.

Your philosophy/framework is to be given a title that is appropriate to its content and emphasis.

Finance

 
As a Global Business Management graduate of Central Lancashire University, you are to advise a family friend, Gunter Merkel who has 20 years’ experience in large mining projects. He is considering setting up his own company back in West Lancashire to extract shale gas, on some land he inherited.
So far the current indicated gas reserves discovered from test drill holes is estimated at 11 million cubic metres.

He currently owns shares in a major publicly listed UK chemical company valued at over £6 million, which could be sold, to start the business.

At present your best assessment of the future costs and revenues are as follows:

Payment of £3.26m at the commencement of the project (1 December 2015) for exploration work to date and the licence to frack for shale gas for a period up to and including 2030.
Payment of £2.5 million for further exploration and drill holes during 2016

Based on the expected energy price you expect to receive and the gas extracted, the operational cost to extract the gas is estimated as follows:

Year
Income £
Operational Mining Costs

2015
0
0

2016
3,000,000
£1.65m

2017
3,500,000

£2m

2019
4,500,000
£2m

2020
5,000,000
£0.7m
The extraction license granted by the government requires the operator of the mine to clear and environmentally improve the area on completion. Estimates indicate this will involve a £0.815 m cost at the end of 2021.

The cost of capital of 12% p.a. With the exception of the exploration costs to date, assume all costs and revenues arise at the end of each year.

Calculations indicate a net present value of £1,107,800
Requirements:

Evaluate the viability of the project and the reliability of information on which the net present value is based. (8 Marks)

Outline the risks of using his own capital for this investment project.
(5 marks)

Unfortunately by the 12 November 2015 the price of shares have fallen by over a third, following a stock market dip on the Shanghai Stock Exchange.
You find yourself as his advisor/potential financial manager needing to raise extra capital of just over £2 million and to assess the options in relation to long term funding from equity or debt.
Requirements:

Identify the potential sources of finance available to this business venture, whilst
considering the return for investors and gearing for a new company. (7 marks)
Following your successful operational advice you decide to investigate a career in Financial Management. Identify what makes up this role and prepare a reasoned personal list of which areas you would enjoy, have talents for and those you would perhaps rather avoid. (10 marks)
Gunter asks for your advice on the internal environment of business and management accounting, particularly costing for decision making and budgeting.

Requirements:

Prepare some notes which identify the types of costs, with an example of each, likely to be incurred by this mining business and the impact on both profit and cash flow. (10 marks)

Provide a short report on budgetary planning, control and motivation (10 marks)
Market research completed by Gunter has indicted 3 potential customers for the shale gas. However due to location, problems of supply and pipelines and potential demand it is necessary to determine the most profitable mix. Due to the current lack of investment in pipelines for shale gas there is a limited output per month.

There are three customers and demand has been estimated as follows:
SS1. 810,000 cubic metres per annum at a selling price of £2.90
SS2. 140,000 cubic metres per annum at a selling price of £3.40
SS3. 60,000 cubic metres per annum at a selling price of £3.45

The costs per customer per cubic metre are as follows:
1 2 3
£ £ £
Raw materials – gas 0.98 0.98 0.98
Pipeline delivery 0.40 0.48 0.60
Delivery costs are £0.08 per cubic metre capacity per mile.

Due to connection problems the pipeline delivery capacity available is only 975000 cubic metres in 2016 with the fixed costs being £250,000 per annum.
Requirements:
You have been asked to determine the most profitable supply mix, showing the actual amounts to be supplied to each customer. (7 marks)

Calculate the contribution and profit following your recommendations for the optimum production plan. (3 marks)

Discuss the limitations of marginal costing for decision making with reference to your supply mix and suggest other techniques, with their advantages for managing various sources of finance. (10 marks)

assessment one

 
You are required to produce an enterprising change plan for an organization of your choice – private/ public sector or social enterprise making appropriate reference to supporting theories and models of change.

The plan will focus on a particular department/ business unit or work group within the organization that you are familiar with. The change plan is intended to enhance enterprise/ innovation/ improve efficiency or organisational effectiveness.

The change will usually involve introducing a new way of doing things, a new process or system; change that may require a change in the organizational structure and or culture. You will need to consider the change issue/ problem – why the change is needed? And what the change represents; a completely new way of doing things, process/ system? Or the redesigning of existing practices, processes or systems? You will also need to consider exactly what are the key changes to be made? What will be done or happen differently in the future & how this will improve the organization? Who will do this & how?
This report will be comprised of 4 sections

Section 1: Identifying the change situation/ context
• Identify the reasons for change/ change context/ enterprising nature of the change.
• Identify the scope of the change/ purpose/ aims
• Identify change agents/ change team

Section 2: The change project analysis
• Stakeholder analysis
• Force field analysis – resistance/ obstacles to change.
• Critique of existing organizational culture – supporting/ hindering change.
• Discuss the organizational readiness for change.

Section 3: Evaluation/ discussion of the change programme
• Evaluate options/ solutions to implement change
• Discuss required changes – Structure? Processes? Systems? People?
• Specific recommendations / justification of change activity
• Identify and discuss change stages & timeframe
• Communication plans
• Risk assessment of undertaking change

Section 4: Change plan
• Action Plan – milestones/ timescales
• Change project diagram and supporting written explanation / justification.

The report has a recommended word limit of 4000 words; however this does not include any tables or diagrams you may wish to put into the appendices and then refer to in the report itself. The report needs to be concise, but should make appropriate reference to supporting theories, models etc. to help underpin the validity of your recommendations. Clearly section 3 will be a very important part of the overall report.

I will upload the full assessment instructions with example from last year students and the zip files have an examples for student took A in the assessment. Also, recommendation references as important to use.

please when you choose the organization send me a draft from one page to take agree to carry on from the tutor.
