To prepare: Locate a scholarly peer-reviewed article related to your specialization and consider personal organizational crises in which you have been involved or by which you have been impacted. Your personal experience with organizational crisis can be as small as missing a deadline or as significant as handling a natural disaster response. **Order directions: write an essay that A) properly APA-cited definition of crisis management (with a reference in APA style), B) an explanation of how crisis management relates to business, and C) a 1-paragraph summary of your personal experience with organizational crises. Include an explanation of how your personal experience with crises contributed to your definition of crisis management. Also, D) write a 1-paragraph summary of your article and an explanation of the article’s contribution to the study of crisis management in business. Finally, E) make a recommendation for how a company might avoid negative impact from a crisis based upon your article and your experience. To prepare intro: For many, the term crisis management may bring to mind examples of disastrous situations brought about by organizational wrongdoing or situations in which the aftermath was handled so poorly that the mishandling resulted in the downfall of the organization. Such events certainly receive ample coverage in the media. However, Professor Ken Brumfield (2012) offers two examples that provide a stark contrast to this prevailing image. He details two instances in which skillful planning and execution during a crisis resulted in the saving of lives. He tells how investment firm Morgan Stanley was able to successfully evacuate all but 6 of its 2,500 employees safely from the World Trade Center on September 11th, before the second plane collided with the towers. He also explains how, through its flexible leadership and quick response, the U.S. Coast Guard was able to rescue 1,200 people following Hurricane Katrina, while organizations around them floundered. These striking tales provide the impetus for reexamining the definition of crisis management, its relationship to business, and how effective crisis management can yield positive results.

If you are of an even age (18, 20, 30, 36, etc.), read “Iconography” by Professor Stevens and then answer the following questions in the “Iconography” thread. Here’s that article: Iconography Iconography is the term to describe the “hidden messages” that are contained in works of art – most notably, paintings. Please open your book to page 515 and look at the painting in Figure 16.32, the Merode Altarpiece by Robert Campin. Most religions, including Christianity, have their own sets of iconography. For instance, in this painting, there is a vase of lilies on the table. The Virgin Mary is known by her own flower, the lily, which signifies her purity. Her virginity is also denoted by the water urn and the bleach-white towel in the background. If you had a high powered magnifying glass, you would notice that the book on the table is actually the Bible and that it is opened to a passage about her miraculous holy conception. In case you are wondering how the “Immaculate Conception” could be written in a book before it actually happened, you might like to know that the term refers to her own birth. Mary, in some traditions, is believed to have been born without sin. If you look closely, you will see what looks like Casper with a cross zooming in through the window. This symbol is twofold – first of all, the Virgin was thought to have conceived much like a pane of glass – she was impregnated, yet remained undamaged, just as light passes through glass. Secondly, at this point in time, it was commonly thought that she had the spirit of Christ go in through her ear which is exactly where that little Ghost is heading. On the right hand side of the painting, Joseph is at work in his shop. On his table are carpentry tools, but there is also a mouse trap. This is a complex image that indicates that Christianity will be the trap that contains the evil of Satan, whose iconography is that of a mouse or a rat. On the left hand panel are images of the donors (the people who paid to have this painted). Behind them is a man in red, but I don’t think I have ever read anything that adequately describes who he is. There are a lot more “messages” in this painting. Note that there is one candle on the fireplace indicating the presence of God – this also appears in the Arnolfini Wedding Portrait chandelier on p. 520 (the book also describes some of the iconography in this painting). Northern painting, in particular, loved using iconography. People felt educated and erudite when they understood paintings such as this. People in the 15th through 18th centuries would have understood complex iconography. Why? Because they were surrounded by art – art in church, art in government buildings, art in middle and upper class homes, etc. We, on the other hand, are surrounded by TV and computers. However, if you look around you, you will see a lot of iconography that even we understand. Red, white and blue are examples of our patriotism; if you see a yellow triangle, you will yield even if it doesn’t have the word “yield” printed on it; the notorious red circle with a line through it means “no”; little abstract stick people tell us which bathroom to use; etc. (End) Does knowledge of iconography contribute to one’s appreciation of a work of art? Does ignorance of iconography compromise one’s ability to appreciate a work of art? Is the beauty inherent or do you need to understand the iconography? How would someone raised in a non-Christian country respond to this painting (the Merode Altarpiece)? How much of this painting, in particular, would you have understood if I had not pointed things out? Please look through the chapter and use other paintings to support your argument. Remember to do a good job – you are the designated teachers for the other half of the class – back up your arguments with examples and proofread your entries. If you are an odd age (19, 25, 33, 57, etc.), read Scream Stolen from Norway Museum and Munch Art Thieves Jailed in Oslo, then answer the following questions in the “Munch” thread. Were these paintings insured? For how much or why not? What are the values of these paintings? What determines the value of a work of art (tough question; do some investigating)? What does the word ‘priceless’ actually mean in relation to art? What iconography can you find in this work of art? (Your honest answer will go much further with me than something found on the Internet.) Make sure that you don’t just write a simple, terse sentence to answer each question. I’ll be looking for thorough answers throughout this assignment.

Both the profession and specialty are maturing, and along with this natural process, nurses are clarifying their roles and scope of practice. As nurses examine their practice, they also are questioning what is fundamentally important to them as nurses and as individuals-their values and beliefs. This has become particularly critical as more and more nurses in all settings are finding that changing demands and expectations of the role are greater than the resources or number of hours in the day to accomplish what nurses would define as quality nursing care. Such demands are pushing nurses to examine their values and what drew them to the profession of nursing in search of balance and meaning in the work setting. One strategy nurses can use to affirm that their practice is in harmony with their value system is to write a personal philosophy statement. This might be general in nature, such as a philosophy that relates to life values; it could be a philosophy statement related to beliefs about the profession of nursing; or it might be a philosophy specific to school nursing. In each case, this activity will encourage nurses to clarify their values and then examine how their philosophy fits with their professional practice. Articulating a philosophy statement is an intellectual activity that requires careful thought, because values need to be identified, clarified, and prioritized. Once these values are identified, putting them together into a short, cohesive statement is a challenging process (Chitty, 2001). The first part of the process is identifying general values-values related to the nature of humankind and society. These are the core values held by an individual, which are few in number but may evolve as individuals mature and society changes. Examples of these core values may relate to the dignity of man, the sanctity of life, or values that give direction to our journey of life. Personal values are influenced by family, culture, religious orientation, education, and the choice of one’s life work. All of these factors contribute to who we are, what we believe, and more importantly, how we act. Next, values that relate to the profession of nursing are delineated. Ideas may come from the American Nurses’ Association’s code for nurses (American Nurses’ Association, 1985) or the Standards o f Professional School Nursing Practice (National Association of School Nurses, 1998) and may include such themes as caring, confidentiality, integrity, accountability, competence, and improving the quality of care. Other important values of the nursing profession are altruism, ethics, and professionalism. In addition, the roles nurses perform are often integrated into philosophy statements. Examples are caregiver, advocate, collaborator, case manager, health educator, counselor, leader, and researcher. Themes specific to school nursing relate to the population served-children, families, and staffand the settings where care is delivered-the school and the community. Specific goals of school nursing may be articulated and include the prevention of disease, the promotion and maintenance of health, and creation of an optimal environment for learning. Other important ideas are issues in today’s society related to the allocation of resources and the delegation of care. Finally, the philosophy statement should end with a few sentences of how personal values articulate with values about nursing. Concluding statements could relate to striving for balance and profession growth through continued learning. Caring for oneself as well as others is a critical issue for busy nurses, as is being a good role model for health in our homes, schools, and communities. The final statement often relates to how you hope to make a difference-in yourself or in your home, school, community, or the world. My first experience in articulating a philosophy of nursing was when I was completing a master’s degree in nursing of children. A class assignment forced me to synthesize my personal beliefs with what I had learned about caring for children and families. Although the requirements were for a short statement, the time taken to list these values and then organize them into a cohesive whole was daunting. What resulted was a meaningful statement that I still share with students today, 30 years later. This experience has inspired me to challenge others to take the same step and create their own personal philosophy of nursing. Downloaded from http://jsn.sagepub.com at OhioLink on July 16, 2009 2 Through the years I have assigned graduate students in my nursing education and child health nursing classes to write their own philosophy of nursing education or child health nursing. Most find this assignment a meaningful part of their professional growth and an appropriate capstone experience at the end of their master’s degree program. More recently, I have been teaching a course on the Art and Science of Nursing to beginning nursing students and have required them to write a philosophy of nursing. Their enthusiasm and ability to capture the essence of nursing and the many roles nurses perform in today’s health care system have been amazing, considering the point where they are in their career. As they complete their baccalaureate program, students will have an opportunity to update or rewrite their philosophy as they enter the profession of nursing. The box below has a short philosophy of life I recently created to provide students an example on how to capture some personal beliefs on paper. It pulls together some of the priorities that influence both my personal and professional life. Writing these down has helped me refocus my energies on what is really important to me, especially at a time when competing demands often overshadow important values and how my time is used. Readers, I encourage each of you to take some time as we enter a new year to create your personal philosophy of nursing. Consider the ideas presented in this editorial as a starting point in identifying what is important to you. Next, pull these ideas together in a short statement that reflects your personal and professional values. Each philosophy statement will be uniquely you. It may not be perfect or all inclusive, but it is an effort to clarify what you believe. As you review your philosophy, seriously consider how this statement will guide your practice as a school nurse. When you complete your philosophy, I encourage you to send me a copy. If I have a good response, I will share some of your ideas in a future editorial. Like life, a statement of philosophy is a work in progress. It is ever changing as we change and as the world around us changes. Saving earlier versions provides evidence of our personal and professional growth over the years. Making the effort to articulate your values in a one-page statement is a valuable learning strategy for nurses today as we strive to provide the best quality care to children and families. Frequently it gives us an opportunity to really examine what we believe and how this fits with our personal and professional lives. When there is not congruence between one’s philosophy and one’s personal or professional life, it provides the motivation to reconcile these differences. The development of a personal philosophy is an opportunity to explore what we believe. It is an inspiring, growth-producing experience. A philosophy statement expresses our unique values and goals that ultimately guide our practice as professional nurses. Janice Denehy, RN, PhD, Executive Editor

My assignment will be on: Twain, Mark. “The Damned Human Race.” Moodyap.pbworks.com. n.d. Web. 11 May 2012. https://moodyap.pbworks.com/f/Twain.damned.pdf This is a 2 part assignment: Please note that this forum has several parts, so read these instructions carefully. First chose your thesis statement (a complete sentence) and a brief outline for the critical evaluation essay. Then, discuss how you plan to show how your chosen author uses ethos, pathos, logos, etc. Choose one specific example of this support, and explain how it was effective in the essay’s argument. Cite this example correctly using MLA style documentation. Please do not take this directly from your essay. This is an informal discussion. Finally, consider the following. During this section of the course you evaluated an essay. How can this sort of critical evaluation of another author’s work be used in future courses at APUS? Then write the paper: The paper should be formatted correctly MLA style and written in third person (do not use the words I, me, us, we, or you). The essay should also contain citations and a works cited list based on your selected essay in the assigned readings. Formulate the structured response from your own close reading of the text. Do not use outside sources (open Web) without explicit permission from the instructor. Decide whether this argument is successful or not. If you decide this essay is successful, discuss why. You may use the structure of the argument, the tone, and the various types of support (ethos, pathos, and logos) as proof of the argument’s success. Make sure that your thesis has an introduction that contains a hook and a thesis, body paragraphs that discuss one proof at a time (one paragraph per example), and a conclusion. If you decide that the essay is not successful, then discuss the fallacies that the argument makes. You are still required to have a strong introduction (hook and thesis), body paragraphs that discuss one fallacy at a time, and a conclusion. You may also discuss how the essay is successful with reservations. In this case, point to both the support and the fallacies you have found in the work. The paper should be formatted correctly MLA style and written in third person (do not use the words I, me, us, we, or you). The essay should also contain citations and a works cited list based on your selected essay in the assigned readings. Formulate the structured response from your own close reading of the text. Do not use outside sources (open Web) without explicit permission from the instructor.
