AS A CHILD I WAS SOMEWHAT aware of the differences between colored
life and white life but it was not so much based on race, I thought
is was just the way it was. I lived in the ghetto and white
children lived in the suburbs. I'd seen the way they lived when a
gang of us would take our shovels and ride the bus to the suburbs
to shovel snow for a quarter a yard. Beautiful houses and yards and
white kids who didn't have to shovel, just watched us from their
windows do the work. The differences were magnified when we saw
television and especially the commercials where white women dressed
in bright clothes just to mop the beautiful floors in their
beautiful homes, or stand at the door and wave goodbye to their men
going off to work in suits and ties and wide brimmed felt hats. I
thought the most beautiful houses in the world were those houses we
shoveled snow from the 200 feet driveways in Shaker Heights. The
houses, mansions, were huge white siding mansions with black
Shutters on the windows; maybe one hundred windows, or so it
seemed. The roofs were black asphalt shingles which set the house
off even more than the dozens of trees, mostly pine, around the
property. The lawns were so big you could play Hide the paddle, or
It and never be found just hiding behind those massive trees. The
grass, yes grass, in the yards looked like it had been carpeted
with each blade the same height. In the winter the grass would be
so white and pure looking you would think it was painted by Thomas
Kinkade.
The field of programme evaluation is shaped by an ever-increasing
range of approaches each of which, to varying degrees, reflects
evaluation's dual role as a theoretical endeavour and a form of
socio-political inquiry. There is an array of approaches, each
emphasizing different purposes and endorsing different
methodologies to guide practice. Yet, no matter which goals are
pursued and which methods are employed, all evaluation involves an
effort to conceptualize, comprehend, and convey the quality of the
programme. This volume brings together the work of certain
evaluators to explore the evaluation of programme quality. Through
conceptual descriptions and applied examples they discuss the
theoretical concerns and practical issues that give rise to their
particular conceptions of quality, the methodologies they employ to
pursue an understanding of these conceptions, and the
representational forms they employ to convey their understanding to
stakeholders.
The DNP Professional: Translating Value From Classroom to Practice
is a collection of exemplars from DNP (Doctor of Nursing Practice)
-prepared experts across various advanced practice nursing roles
and settings. The content illustrates the application of the DNP
Essentials, quantifies successful DNP-prepared practitioner
outcomes, and describes the overall impact of the nursing practice
doctorate. Each chapter is written by a different expert and
focuses on how the DNP Essentials relate to that author's role,
including business planning, evidence-driven decision making, data
analytics, and interprofessional collaboration. These leaders
demonstrate how to implement lessons learned in a DNP program and
translate them into everyday practice, with plenty of pearls to
pass along. Editor Linda A. Benson has divided the book into
sections based on roles and settings: Nurse practitioner Clinical
nurse specialist Certified registered nurse anesthetist Nurse
midwife Nurse executive Academia Population health Informatics
Legislative activity When performing at their peak, DNPs can affect
clinical, satisfaction, and cost outcomes, as well as provide
preceptorship and mentoring. With exemplars from across the
continuum of practice sites and roles, The DNP Professional:
Translating Value From Classroom to Practice enables both students
and DNP graduates to optimize the curricular Essentials in the
practice setting.
When author Becky A. Benson and her husband found out that their
precious ten month old daughter was terminally ill with a very rare
genetic condition it set them on a path they never expected to be
on. A path of anger, confusion, sadness, and ultimately one of
unconditional love, faith, and great joy. This special child taught
Becky and her family so much about the importance and beauty of
life all without ever speaking a single word in her Three Short
Years.
The experiences documented in "The One Left" were written two and a
half years after the death of the author's husband of 44 years. She
did not write this story earlier as time grants distance and
distance grants clarity. Joyce A. Benson is not a doctor, nor a
psychologist. This writing is not the product of scholarly
research. Rather, it is her story, the story of what she
experienced and felt. It is a sharing. You are not alone.

This book will surprise some, anger some, rekindle the human spirit
in some, re-establish partnerships of the sixties and seventies,
and make some laugh, but its main point is to get you to talk to
your Black friends at work, politicians in your cities and your
neighbors to dispell the myth that there is no race problem in
America anymore. What you are seeing today is the shaking off of
the "chains of intimidation" of Black people who are now speaking
out. You are about to witness the rebirth of the Civil Rights
Movement all over again. Where do you stand?
