Development Of A Remedial Medication Administration Program For Newly Hired Nurses At A Veterans Administration Medical Center In Central Florida, Diane M. Lipe

Abraham S. Fischler College of Education ETD Archive

The purpose of this study was to determine the medication administration proficiency of newly hired nurses at a large Department of Veterans Affairs (D.V.A.) Medical Center located in Bay Pines, Florida and to design a remedial education program in medication administration which would effectively meet specific deficiencies found in this population. Legal and professional mandates require proficiency in this domain of practice, yet nursing literature and recent experience by D.V.A. nurse educators have raised serious concern regarding the adequacy of nurses' proficiency in this area.

Research questions include: 1. What is the medication administration proficiency of newly hired nurses at …

Biozonation Of Deep-Water Lithoherms And Associated Hardgrounds In The Northeastern Straits Of Florida, Charles G. Messing, A. Conrad Neumann, Judith C. Lang

Marine & Environmental Sciences Faculty Articles

Elongated carbonate mounds ("lithoherms") oriented parallel to prevailing northerly bottom currents at moderate depths (500-700 m) along the western margin of the Little Bahama Bank exhibit a consistent faunal zonation characterized by attached, suspension-feeding invertebrates. The four most abundant macroepibenthic groups (alcyonarians, crinoids, sponges and stylasterid hydrocorals) dominate all hard substrates examined except upcurrent ends and crests of lithoherms. We recognize three faunal zones on these mounds: a Coral Zone (Lophelia prolifera) restricted to the upcurrent end; a Zoanthid Zone (?Gerardia sp.) along upcurrent crests, and a Crinoid/Alcyonarian Zone along lithoherm flanks and downstream crests. Taxa characteristic of the latter …

An Analysis Of The Effect Of Sixteen Academic Variables On Completion And Noncompletion Of An Associate Degree Nursing Program, Karon Titus Overmeyer

Abraham S. Fischler College of Education ETD Archive

The continuing decline in the number of applicants to nursing programs combined with the need to ensure that graduates are competent has made essential the development of reliable predictors that more fully assess the potential of all individuals in the restricted applicant pool. The purpose of this study was twofold: (1) to determine which admission and continuation criteria used by Broward Community College's (BCC) Nursing Program could be used as predictors for completion of the program and (2) to determine those students who are at-risk of not completing the nursing program. The independent variables for the study were five admission …

The Development And Implementation Of A Transition Class Work Study Program At The High School Level, Walter L. Surich

Abraham S. Fischler College of Education ETD Archive

The absence of an effective work study program to provide community based work experience for a high school transition class and the effectiveness of job trainer training procedures was remedied by the development and implementation of a plan to include five educable and trainable transition students and one job trainer at a community work environment. The work study program developed in-class job readiness skills along on-site work experiences at community based work environments to prepare students for societal productive coexistence after graduation. The program also focused on the selection, training, and supervision of a job trainer who exhibited competency in …

Organizing A Program To Increase Fitness Levels In Fourth Grade Students, Warren A. Bell

Abraham S. Fischler College of Education ETD Archive

A high percentage of students have scored low on health-related fitness tests in the areas of Upper Body Strength and Cardio- Respiratory Endurance. Utilizing the Chrysler/AAU Fitness Program (1989) to screen the students, the author developed a means to supplement physical education classes once or twice per week to improve fourth graders’ fitness levels. After developing and implementing a Runner’s Club and a Fitness Course that was supervised by the fourth grade classroom teachers on an every-other-day basis for 10 weeks, the author was able to significantly improve health related fitness test scores, Appendices include Turkey Trot Guidelines, Pre-Test Fitness …

Ensayara Jumane, A New Species From Belize, Caribbean Sea (Amphipoda, Lysianassidae), J. L. Barnard, James Darwin Thomas

Marine & Environmental Sciences Faculty Articles

Ensayara jumane is described from Belize. It differs from the west Mexican Ensayara ramonella J. L. Barnard (1964) in the excavate posteroventral margins of article 2 on pereopods 5-7, and the sparse (9 versus 25) setae on articles 5-6 of gnathopod I. A new diagnosis for Ensayara, a key to species, list of species, references to original descriptions and geographic codes for each species are provided. This is the first record of the genus from the Caribbean Sea.

Sea Turtle Conservation Program, Broward County, Fl 1990 Report, Curtis M. Burney, Catherine A. Mattison

Marine & Environmental Sciences Faculty Reports

Since 1978, the Broward County Environmental Protection Department (BCEPD) has provided for the conservation of endangered and threatened sea turtle species within its area of responsibility. Broward County is within the normal nesting areas of three species of sea turtles: the loggerhead sea turtle (Caretta caretta), the green sea turtle (Chelonia mydas) and the leatherback sea turtle (Dermochelys coriacea). The loggerhead is listed as a threatened species, while the green and leatherback are listed as endangered under the U.S. Endangered Species Act, 1973, and Chapter 370, F.S.

Since these statutes strictly forbid any disturbance …

Increasing Social Competence In Kindergarten And First Grade Children Through Modeling And Practice In A Self-Motivating Play Group, Michael P. Ferrentino

Abraham S. Fischler College of Education ETD Archive

This practicum report describes methods used to increase prosocial behavior and positive peer interaction among kindergarten and first grade students through participation in a self-motivating playgroup. Five students attend daily play sessions in place of outdoor recess time, in which participation included planning cooperative activities, following them through, and reviewing their involvement.

The solution strategy was designed to include a participating teacher who facilitated play and guided students through pertinent intervention strategies during each videotaped play session. Students were shown their inappropriate behaviors through video playback, which was succeeded by instruction and modeling of appropriate behaviors. After practicing the modeled …

Developing An Action Learning Approach To Teaching Science To Kindergarten Students In A Marine Wetlands Environment, Jeanne Mills

Abraham S. Fischler College of Education ETD Archive

This practicum was designed to introduce kindergarten students to marine science through a hands-on process approach in a wetland environment. The primary goal was to immerse young children in science through active experimental learning rather than secondhand knowledge. The second aim was to offer young children the opportunity to study the wetlands and to see firsthand how fragile the world's ecosystems are so that they may realize the importance of maintaining them.

After the writer verified the need for this type of learning through surveys, she researched the literature, wrote her curriculum, created a teaching book, developed accompanying activities, held …
