Asterix Omnibus #2: Collects Asterix the Gladiator, Asterix and the Banquet, and Asterix and Cleopatra
No full textAsterix mixes it up with everyone from Julius Caesar to Cleopatra in this outstanding Omnibus!After conquering Europe, where this feisty, little warrior is a true pop culture super-star, Asterix is invading America with another three classic adventures, newly translated into American English. Asterix conquered Europe ironically by keeping his tiny village in Gaul from being conquered by the Roman Empire. Turns out, Asterix and his fellow villagers have a secret weapon, a potion that imbues them all with super strength. But the Romans aren’t about to give up no matter how many times Asterix and his friends fend them off. These classic comics are not only incredibly entertaining, filled with humor, adventure, and great characters, but the historic figures are brought to life in a way that’s exciting and humanizing, providing educational elements to each story, similar to the Geronimo Stilton graphic novels

Examining the Perceptions of Clinical Competence of Undergraduate Nursing Students During the Era of Social Distancing
No full textBackgroundCOVID – 19 caused sudden and dramatic changes in nursing education during the spring of 2020. Traditional educational methods were rapidly replaced with distance learning and virtual simulation. The authors of this study were concerned with the impact of these changes on undergraduate education and conducted a study to examine students’ perceptions of their clinical competence with the use of virtual simulation given social distancing guidelines.ObjectivesThe purpose of this study was to examine undergraduate nursing students’ perceptions of their clinical competence and simulation effectiveness after implementation of distance methodologies and use of virtual simulation for learning clinical skills.MethodThe study design was cross-sectional and descriptive. A non-random sample of undergraduate students completed two questionnaires examining clinical competence and simulation effectiveness.ResultsData were analyzed using descriptive statistics, frequencies, independent t-tests and Pearson’s correlations. Participants were 19-55 with a mean age of 29.2(9.9). Participants were mostly seniors (56.1%), female (82.5%), and African-American (60.7%). Fifty-eight students completed the entire Clinical Competence Questionnaire (CCQ) with a mean of 4.4 (SD 0.35) on a scale of 1 to 5. Scores on the CCQ were significantly higher for senior level students, those who were employed in healthcare settings, and students who had experienced some learning in a clinical setting. Fifty-seven students completed the Simulation Effectiveness Tool (SET) with a mean of 2.31 (SD 0.47) on a scale of 1 to 3. Scores on the SET were positively correlated with scores on the CCQ.Conclusions Students reported high levels of clinical competence and positive perceptions of confidence after use of virtual simulation as a learning tool. The findings of this study provide support for the use of virtual simulation for teaching clinical skills
Human Resource Management in Health Care: A Case of Turnover in Long term care
No full textThe management of human resources in long term health care is challenging. Whether it is home care, skilled nursing care, hospice care, rehabilitation, case management, medical supply, or pharmacy, the work force consists of skilled, licensed professionals. In a case study of a vertically integrated long term care organization operating in several states, the turnover rates for various positions and types of organization were calculated and analyzed. The results point to acuity level, type of long term care provider, and the possibility of low pay as factors for turnover rates from an acceptable level to extremely high and unacceptable levels
