EXAMINING NURSING SPECIALTIES

You have probably seen one or more of the many inspirational posters about decisions. A visual such as a forked road or a street sign is typically pictured, along with a quote designed to inspire.

Decisions are often not so easily inspired. Perhaps you discovered this when choosing a specialty within the MSN program. This decision is a critical part of your plan for success, and you no doubt want to get it right. This is yet another area where your network can help, as well as other sources of information that can help you make an informed choice.


Note

: Unless otherwise noted, initial postings to Discussions are due on or before Day 3, and response postings are due on or before Day 6. You are required to participate in the Discussion on at least three different days (a different day for main post and each response). It is important to adhere to the weekly time frame to allow others ample time to respond to your posting. In addition, you are expected to respond to questions directed toward your own initial posting in a timely manner.

Respond to two (2) of the following prompts:

  1. Describe formal and informal education. From your experiences with schooling, provide specific examples of each and explain how they are built into the curriculum or culture of the school. (USLO 6.1)
  2. Reflecting on your own experience (or your child’s) with schooling, explain one sociological theory that best relates to your (or your child’s) academic journey. Describe two examples of how this theory applies to your schooling. (USLO 6.4)
  3. What do you think is the most significant concern with the education system today? Provide a suggestion for how this issue could be improved. (USLO 6.3)
  4. What is the difference between mainstreaming and inclusion? Which do you think is the optimal way to include people with disabilities in the classroom and why? (USLO 6.2)
  5. Karl Marx studied the social impact of religion and believed religion reflects the material base, which is comprised of the means and modes of production and the relations of production. Marx argued that religion maintains inequality and perpetuates the status quo. Is Marx’s argument that religion maintains inequality and perpetuates the status quo true? Present an example that supports your assessment of Marx’s argument. (USLO 6.8)
  6. Emile Durkheim argued that religion promotes social cohesion, and social control, as well as offering meaning and purpose to human life. Is Durkheim’s argument true? Present an example that supports your assessment of Durkheim’s argument. (USLO 6.8)
  7. What is required of a society for its political structure to be considered democratic? While this question might seem straightforward, it is not and is a topic of contentious debate in current political philosophy circles. The Democracy Index lists 60 different indicators that must be considered when discerning whether a nation is a democracy. While you in no way will be expected to discuss all indicators, please talk about a few of the conditions that must exist for a government to qualify as a democracy. Include textual evidence to support your view. (USLO 6.5, 6.6)
  8. In recent years in the United States, citizens have increasingly made claims that our judicial system is institutionally racist. Evidence provided for these claims has pointed toward unfair drug sentencing laws, stop and frisk policies, the use of police force, and the overwhelming number of black men in prisons and jails in comparison to the rest of the population. Select one claim and discuss whether these claims have merit, presenting specific examples to support your position. Include textual evidence to support your view. (USLO 6.7)
