Immigrating in nursing: a grounded theory of how nurses process their professional practice specialization within the pharmaceutical/biotech industry
No full textRationale for the study: Despite the fact that nursing shortages have been reported for a prolonged period of time across all traditional practice settings within the US (Buerhaus & Staiger, 1999; Buerhaus, Staiger & Auerbach, 2000; 2003; 2009), there has been a growth in the number of nurses employed within the non-traditional practice setting of the pharmaceutical/biotech industry. The literature is void of both qualitative and quantitative studies that address the perspective of nurses who pursue professional practice within the non-traditional practice setting of the pharmaceutical/biotech industry. Understanding how nurses within the pharmaceutical/biotech industry perceive their professional practice may help illuminate the importance of characteristics of non-traditional practice settings. Methodology: Classic Grounded Theory was used to examine the process that nurses undertake to restore, support, and foster their professional practice within the non-traditional practice setting of the pharmaceutical/biotech industry. Rutgers University IRB approval was obtained prior to study initiation. Fifteen participants were interviewed regarding their perspectives of the decision-making process surrounding their migration and establishment of professional practice from traditional practice settings into the non-traditional practice setting of the pharmaceutical/biotech industry. All participants met eligibility criteria. All interviews were recorded and transcribed verbatim. This data was analyzed using constant comparative analysis as described by Glaser (1978). Results: The theory which emerged from the data is a four phase process which includes: Becoming Disillusioned, Acclimating into the Corporate Role, Achieving Belonging, and Nursing Specialty Actualization. Immigrating in Nursing is the Core Category which explains how participants resolved their main concern: to restore, support, and foster their professional practice in the non-traditional practice setting of the pharmaceutical/biotech industry. Conclusion: The study findings illuminate the challenges, milestones, and achievements that nurses within the pharmaceutical/biotech industry consider integral to their professional practice development and specialty actualization. The inside views of the choices and actions made by each participant in this study demonstrated many of the reasons why nurses within the pharmaceutical/biotech industry value their professional practice and the public health advancement and advocacy that they undertake.Ph.

No full textIncludes bibliographical references.Shorebird populations are declining globally and little is known about the use and distribution of breeding species in interior Alaska. The Program for Regional and International Shorebird Monitoring (PRISM) has developed shorebird survey methodology, with most effort in the Arctic and less effort in the boreal forest region. We fill this information void by using PRISM methods to estimate shorebird use of military lands in interior Alaska on Tanana Flats Training Area and Donnelly Training Areas (Fairbanks and Delta Junction, Alaska). We conducted surveys to (1) identify shorebird species using military lands, and (2) create occupancy/use models for these species and determine associated habitat covariates. We predicted species-specific covariate relationships (e.g., elevation, shrub height, distance to water). In general, we predict that shorebirds would more likely use open shrub and wet grassland Viereck habitat classifications. Using a stratified random sampling design, we surveyed 140 plots (400x400 m) twice. We found 6 shorebird species of moderate to high conservation concern as listed by the Alaska Shorebird Conservation Plan and 4 species of conservation concern as listed by the USFWS. For Lesser Yellowlegs, Wilson’s Snipe, and Spotted Sandpiper we will present correlations of use with variables of interest derived from occupancy/use models

Frances Ellen Colenso, 1849-1887 : her life and times in relation to the Victorian stereotype of the middle class English woman
No full textIncludes bibliographical referencesThe stereotype of the Victorian middle class woman, which generally characterised her as a passive, ornamental, helpless and dependent creature, has been one of the most popular caricatures of the nineteenth century. Recent research into this hitherto largely ignored social class has begun to re-adjust this image. The stereotyped distressed gentlewoman who emigrated to Australia and New Zealand for instance has recently been critically examined, but so far the female emigrant and settler in colonial South Africa has been ignored. It is only since the early 1970s that academic research into feminism began to appear. The influence of the women's liberation movement and of the increasing interest in social history, while stimulating research into Victorian women in England and her colonies, has only penetrated historical research within South Africa in the last decade
