A reflective essay

 

Must be completed in 2200-2500 words (excluding the reference list) and is worth 60 marks.
The Assessment 2 paper should predominantly be written in narrative form but you may prefer to list specific
learning goals and objectives.
The word limits show the minimum and maximum word count (excluding the reference list). Each 100
words or part thereof beyond the upper or lower limit will incur a 5% (3 marks) penalty.

In Assessment 2, you are asked to develop an academic paper that demonstrates how you will draw on your strengths and capabilities to successfully progress from being a student nurse to a graduate nurse.

You will need to critically reflect on how you will address and manage up to six (6) key challenges that you are likely to encounter in transitioning to graduate practice. In particular, you are asked to describe how you intend to address and manage the key challenges you are likely to experience in relation to:
a. Applying for a position as a Registered Nurse, including attending and succeeding in a job interview

advantages and disadvantages of learning in a multicultural classroom.

The Root Beer Game Simulation

Forio Group. (2011). Root beer game demo. HBR. Retrieved from http://forio.com/simulation/harvard-root-beer-game-demo/login.htm

Running the simulation involves the following steps:
•Review the Simulation Summary, Your Role, and How to Play sections under the Prepare tab.
•Go to the Analyze tab to run the simulation.
•Submit your weekly order in the Enter Order field; at least 20 rounds are necessary to get a good feel for the problems involved.
•When finished, review your performance under the Dashboard Overview, Inventory and Shipments, Orders and Backlog, and Cost Detail tabs.

It sounds easy, right? Try it and see how good you are at getting root beer to your customers while keeping your inventory and costs low.

See if you can control the bullwhip oscillations of stock-outs followed by over-supply.

To run the simulation several times, you will need log out and start again. The log out command is on the bottom left side of the page.

Spend a maximum of 30 minutes working with the game. Then think about it in conjunction with this module’s readings for perhaps another 15

-20 minutes.

address the following questions:
1.What did you do in the simulation? What activities did you engage in? What did you learn about what’s going on?
2.What have you learned about supply chain management from your participation in this simulation?

you will be personally experiencing the importance of supply chain management (SCM) through a simulation exercise. Your job is to fully

understand the components of SCM and how they are broken down into parts. SCM includes the customer as the input and output in the chain

through planning, purchasing, inventory, production, and transportation. SCM ensures that products and services are delivered efficiently

using IT and related applications such as enterprise resource planning (ERP), Oracle, and SAP. More specific applications include customer

relation analysis (CRA), material resource planning (MRP), and inbound and outbound logistic tracking systems, among others. These

applications integrate to the full value chain and interface with customers and suppliers via the Internet and mobile technology.

The challenge of SCM is coordination. Suppliers, manufacturers, sales people, and customers have their own, often incomplete, understanding

of what real demand is. Each group has control over only a part of the supply chain, but each group can influence the entire chain by

ordering too much or too little. Furthermore, each group is influenced by decisions that others are making. This lack of coordination

coupled with the ability to influence while being influenced by others leads to what Stanford’s Hau Lee refers to as the Bullwhip Effect.

Decisions made by groups along the supply chain may actually worsen shortages or overstocks. The bullwhip effect is illustrated by a story

Lee tells about how Volvo found itself with extra inventories of green cars. To get them off the dealers’ lots, Volvo’s sales department

offered special deals, so demand for green cars increased. Production, unaware of the promotion, saw the increase in sales and ramped up

production of green cars.

Coordination is not just about communication. Even in supply chains where communication is perfect, manufacturing and procurement delays

can wreak havoc. While customers are ordering, backlogs can build, and it is easy to confuse backlogged orders with increases in demand.

Afghanistan's Cancer

 

Emphasis will be on the effective analysis of detailed issues
surrounding main
themes discussed during the course. Students will be judged by how effectively they support their thesis argument. At the graduate level, proper formatting of academic work and citing of sources is critical.

Do not quote large blocks of text. Limit yourself to one cited sentence for every 5 sentences of paragraph.

Use 2-3 scholarly, peer-reviewed sources for your research evidence. Wikipedia and general websites or blogs are not considered academic, scholarly sources. Remember to consult the Library for assistance if you have difficulty with your research sources.

One “Example” of organization:

Introduction that ends with a thesis statement. (Example: While Doe and Smith wrote powerful pieces, Jones demonstrated the type of healthcare provider I hope to become in his short story titled, “give title.”)

Supporting paragraphs 1 and 2: Focused on story #1 with direct quotation of story to back up stance. Research evidence included to back up thesis/main point.

Negative Letter Practice, M-Global Context: Explanation of Project Delay

Negative Letter Practice, M-Global Context: Explanation of Project Delay
You work for M-Global’s Boston office. As project manager for the construction of a small strip shopping center, you have had delays about

halfway through the project because of bad weather. Even worse, the forecast is for another week of heavy rain. Yesterday, just when you

thought nothing else could go wrong, you discovered that your concrete supplier, Atlas Concrete, has a truck drivers’ strike in progress.

Because you still need half the concrete for the project, you have started searching for another supplier.
Your client, an investor/developer named Tanya Lee, located in a city about 200 miles away, probably will be upset by any delays in

construction, whether or not they are within your control. Write her a letter in which you explain weather and concrete problems. Try to ease

her concern, especially because you want additional jobs from her in the future.
