• Glow Native Nursery Claremont It is located in Rancho Santa Ana Botanic Garden in Claremont and it has been running for more than 30 years. They focus on the growing of Southern and Central California native plants, as well as other ferns and perennials. Also, you can find plants natives to Oregon to Baja California. They offer free Programs and workshops to the community. Their most important program is Grow Our Future, which is a program with local high school students where are involved in propagating plants. This program is funded by a grant from the Claremont Community Foundation. Furthermore, in their workshops, people can learn about soils, seeding, how to plant and water Native Plants, how to

Their irrigation system is based on hand watering because it’s more selective, they have more control on how much water is been used and also as a way to protect leaves and flowers from the water pressure. Also, the landscape has been designed to collect and use water during the raining events. The gradual slopes help water to flow over and water the landscape . Also, planting material is used to catch fertizer and run off like Deer grass. Because they are a small non-profit organization, they don’t use any kind of technology due to the lack of budget. They calculate what is needed, based on their needs, and work with the budget they have. The staff is limited due to budget too. There are only three people working, two full-time and one intern working part-time. That is why the volunteers are a big help for the nursery. In spite of the limited budget, the staff gets informed and updated with any new techniques used to improve the performance of the plants by attending different conferences and …show more content…
They have a big variety of California native plants and the staff is super friendly and provide assistance to their customers. They growth 70% of what they sell and the other 30% is from other sellers from Northern California up to Arizona. The most selling plants on the nursery are sages and desert flowers. One interesting event I was told is that the Botanic Garden of Russia is very interest in California natives; that is why they bought all plants they needed to have a section of California natives on their

NSBON’s mission is to “protect the public’s health, safety and welfare through effective nursing regulation.” The NSBON is able to achieve this mission through a variety of standards and rules.
specimens with the corresponding scientific description, photographs, specific maps and there are drawings that document the research. This collected images of plants continue the artist’s fascination with documentation, community engagement and art as a way to address larger social issues. This exhibit was interning to me to see all the different plant and to know that plants in the city unknown to most there are often edible, medicinal or even poisonous plants.
Neonatal nursing is a field of nursing designed especially for both newborns and infants up to 28 days old. The term neonatal comes from neo, "new", and natal, "pertaining to birth or origin”. Neonatal nurses are a vital part of the neonatal care team. These are trained professionals who concentrate on ensuring that the newborn infants under their care are able to survive whatever potential life threatening event they encounter. They treat infants that are born with a variety of life threatening issues that include instances of prematurity, congenital birth defects, surgery related problems, cardiac malformations, severe burns, or acute infection. Neonatal care in hospitals was always done by the nursing staff but it did not officially become a specialized medical field until well into 1960s. This was due to the numerous advancements in both medical care training and related technology that allowed for the improved treatment and survival rate of premature babies. According to the March of Dimes, one of every thirteen babies born in the United States annually suffers from low birth weight. This is a leading cause in 65% of infant deaths. Therefore, nurses play a very important role in providing round the clock care for these infants, those born with birth defects or other life threatening illness. In addition, these nurses also tend to healthy babies while their mothers recover from the birthing process. Prior to the advent of this specialized nursing field at risk newborn infants were mostly cared for by obstetricians and midwives who had limited resources to help them survive (Meeks 3).
Current literature continues to reiterate the indicators of a major shortage of registered nurses (RNs) in the United States. The total RN population has been increasing since 1980, which means that we have more RNs in this country than ever before (Nursing Shortage). Even though the RN population is increasing, it is growing at a much slower rate then when compared to the rate of growth of the U.S. population (Nursing Shortage). We are seeing less skilled nurses “at a time of an increasingly aging population with complex care needs and an increasingly complex technological care environment” (Mion). According to recent data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics and the Department of Health and Human Services, it is estimated that “more than a million new and replacement nurses will be needed over the next decade” (Diagnosis: Critical).
There are more than 70% of premature babies that are born between 34 and 36 weeks gestation a year. When a baby is born early, or born with birth defects, the Neonatal Intensive Care unit is its first home. The nurse’s in the NICU have the difficult job of preparing baby’s and parents for a health life together. A baby who has been put into the NICU will stay there until it is healthy enough to go home.
Patient-Centered Care is a vital step for the underserved populations. In the clinical practice attention, and focus should be priority for these disadvantage patients. As a nurse educator, I should take a proactive role to to improve the health of America's underserved populations. participating in support group will enhance the care to serve the underserved population. In United states there is a disparity in the health of racial , ethnic groups, minorities, and African Americans. Most of the underserved population lives in underserved rural areas. These population lack access for health care, because their poverty, low income, and less access to transportations. Serving in shortage area is sacred mission for health care provider. Nursing role in the underserved areas has a dominant factor to reduce children mortality rate, and reduce elderly diseases. It is an opportunity to address all the barriers that prevent this special group for health care access. It is the real challenging for nurses to use the utmost knowledge, and explore new ideas that need further investigations.
Nonprofit Organizations The purpose of this research is to define nonprofit organizations, describe opportunities that are present in nonprofits, outline advantages and disadvantages of working in the nonprofit sector, and explain how you can determine if this is an area for you to consider as a career. WHAT IS THE NONPROFIT SECTOR? "Nonprofit" is a term that the I.R.S. uses to define tax-exempt organizations whose money or "profit" must be used solely to further their charitable or educational mission, rather than distribute profits to owners or shareholders as in the for-profit sector. The term is also used to describe organizations which are not a branch of -- are independent of -- the government and the corporate sector. This term refers to one of the most important uniqueness of a nonprofit organization: it is independent of both the public or government sector and the private or corporate sector.
Pediatric Nurse 1. A pediatric RN assists pediatricians by assessing a patient's needs and providing initial patient care. They help families deal with a child's illness or injury. They often offer information on nutrition, diet, and good health habits. The work of a Pediatric Nurse can range from assisting a Physician with the exam of a child to drawing blood.
What I know about neonatal nursing: Neonatal nursing is a special type of nursing in the medical field that deals with infants only. Most of the infants are living with life-threatening conditions. Being a neonatal nurse can occasionally mean assisting a brand new mother and her healthy baby get acquainted with each other, but mostly a neonatal nurse spends his or her time in the NICU (Neonatal Intensive Care Unit) tending to very sick and/or premature babies. Why I am interested in neonatal nursing: I am interested in neonatal nursing because I have always wanted a career in the medical field. Although I was never exactly sure which position I wanted in the medical field, I knew I wanted to specialize in assisting infants.
The nursing process is one of the most fundamental yet crucial aspects of the nursing profession. It guides patient care in a manner that creates an effective, safe, and health promoting process. The purpose and focus of this assessment paper is to detail the core aspects of the nursing process and creating nursing diagnoses for patients in a formal paper. The nursing process allows nurses to identify a patient’s health status, their current health problems, and also identify any potential health risks the patient may have. The nursing process is a broad assessment tool that can be applied to every patient but results in an individualized care plan tailored to the most important needs of the patient. The nurse can then implement this outcome oriented care plan and then evaluate and modify it to fit the patient’s progress (Taylor, C. R., Lillis, C., LeMone, P., & Lynn, P., 2011). The nursing process prioritizes care, creates safety checks so that essential assessments are not missing, and creates an organized routine, allowing nurses to be both efficient and responsible.
Rawsi Williams once said that "To do what nobody else will do, a way that nobody else can do, in spite of all we go through; that is to be a nurse." To be a neonatal nurse is never easy due to dealing with ill babies, long hours, and lack of sleep. Though being a neonatal nurse has its difficulties, it comes with a lot of benefits such as being respected, helping others, and caring for babies. Nurses also must put others before themselves and do everything in their power to get parents' newborns healthy. Being a neonatal nurse is not easy, but at the end of the day one receives the greatest award that makes the work worth it; knowing they saved or cared for a family's child.
Nursing is one of the oldest professions. It isn’t a static occupation, as it has changed frequently over time. Its development and evolution has changed differently depending on the historical influences. As of today the nursing profession is changing and becoming larger and greater. Nursing has gone from being a career that did not require an education, to being one that is very respected and demands a high education.

The Future of Nursing Being a registered nurse affords one the option of working in many diverse healthcare settings. In any practice setting, the climate of health care change is evident. There are diverse entities involved in the implementation and recommendation of these practice changes. These are led by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF), the Institute of Medicine (IOM), nursing campaign for action initiatives, as well as individual state-based action coalitions. Nurses need to be prepared and cognizant of the transformations occurring in health care settings, as well as the plans that put them at the forefront of the future.
