Addressing nursing shortage to improve patient satisfactionThe research study, published in Pain Management Nursing journal, revealed that when there's a sufficient level of nurse staffing, patients were less inclined to report dissatisfaction with the pain they experienced. The research team lead, Judith Shindul-Rothschild, also an associate professor at the Connell School of Nursing, asserts that "the findings highlight the need for adequate numbers of nursing staff to achieve optimal patient satisfaction with pain management. In addition, having a prescriber (physician or nurse practitioner) available 24/7 to offer continuity of care is essential."
The key aim of the study was to discover how characteristics of the hospital and staffing could affect patient satisfaction. Results were sourced from three states in the US – New York, Massachusetts and California. Pain management ratings and patient satisfaction were collected via national patient surveys.
The results across all three states highlighted a similarity – patients reported greater satisfaction with pain when a larger number of registered nurses were present. Patient satisfaction with pain was also improved with a greater number of nursing staff. However, this was proven to a lesser extent.
Several reasons identified for poorer patient satisfactionIn the study, contributing researchers have identified four primary reasons which explained why patients reported poorer satisfaction with pain when fewer nurses were present:
• Patients did not receive help promptly
• Ineffective communication
• Poor medication education
• Receiving care in a teaching hospital
Pain management is a crucial component of hospital care, which if compromised, could severely impact patients' perception of healthcare. "We need to think very critically of how we are managing pain, how we are communicating with patients, and how members of treatment teams are communicating with each other," emphasises Shindul-Rothschild.
Eliminating communicating barriers within a healthcare teamThe study also zooms into the need for healthcare professionals – in a care team – to communicate effectively with each other. Nurses are responsible for the daily monitoring of patients, which further explains why the inadequacy of nurse staffing can result in patients feeling dissatisfied, and perceiving greater pain. Authors contributing to the study also comment that, "nurse staffing and nurse-patient communication are highly predictive of patients' perception of pain management."
Addressing shortages of qualified nurses in hospitals may resolve patient issues with pain – and, ultimately improve clinical outcomes for patients. If patients feel satisfied with the management of their pain, they are more likely to seek healthcare in the future. MIMS

15 Sep A Scarlet Letter: A Response to 'Editor's Letter: Why Elephant posts so much Sex & Porn & Trashy Clickbaity Crap.'
I recently read an article written by Waylon Lewis titled, 'Editor's Letter: Why Elephant posts so Much Sex & Porn & Trashy Clickbaity Crap' in which it would appear that Elephant Journal has been receiving some not so kind feedback in regards to the articles related to sex on its publication.
It surprised me that people today still feel so strongly in regards to keeping sex secret and shroud as though it is something to hold in private lest one be ashamed and riddled with guilt.
Why are topics regarding sex and/or sexuality considered to be taboo? Are we not all living, breathing, sexual beings? Were we not meant to procreate and spread our seed? In the bible, Genesis 3:11, did God not ask Adam, "Who told thee that thou wast naked?"
So why, then, do some still find it necessary to feel shame for following something so primal and savage that lives within each of us? Is sex not a necessary part of life just as we eat and breathe?
Why then, do we feel that desire must remain hidden lest we be judged?
Are we not entitled and created to feel intimacy with another- all the while enjoying the pleasure of connecting as one? Is it shameful to touch one's self when overcome with desire; something that is done naturally as a part of self-care and self-love?
As I began researching sexual oppression through the ages, it appeared that it was more displeasing to the general public for a woman to express herself sexually and less frowned upon when men would boast of the same desire.
Why is it so much more difficult for a woman to know herself and be brazen about her wants, her needs, her fantasies, and desires?
Should this not be something we celebrate- something that should be revered and held sacred? Truly, in this day and age, it should be legendary as women have clawed their way through history to have evolution and equality.
During my research, I came across an article titled, 'When Women Wanted Sex Much More Than Men' written by Alyssa Goldstein in which she states:
"The idea that men are naturally more interested in sex than women is ubiquitous that it's difficult to imagine that people ever believed differently. And yet for most of Western history, from ancient Greece to beginning of the nineteenth century, women were assumed to be the sex-crazed porn fiends of their day. In one ancient Greek myth, Zeus and Hera argue about whether men or women enjoy sex more. They ask the prophet Tiresias, whom Hera had once transformed into a woman, to settle the debate. He answers, "if sexual pleasure were divided into ten parts, only one part would go to the man, and nine parts to the woman." Later, women were considered to be temptresses who inherited their treachery from Eve. Their sexual passion was seen as a sign of their inferior morality, reason and intellect, and justified tight control by husbands and fathers. Men, who were not so consumed with lust and who had superior abilities of self-control, were the gender more naturally suited to holding positions of power and influence.
Early 20th-century physician and psychologist Havelock Ellis may have been the first to document the ideological change that had recently taken place. In his 1903 work Studies in the Psychology of Sex, he cites a laundry list of ancient and modern historical sources ranging from Europe to Greece, the Middle East to China, all of nearly the same mind about women's greater sexual desire. In the 1600s, for instance, Francisco Plazzonus deduced that childbirth would hardly be worthwhile for women if the pleasure they derived from sex was not far greater than that of men's. Montaigne, Ellis notes, considered women to be "incomparably more apt and more ardent in love than men are, and that in this matter they always know far more than men can teach them, for 'it is a discipline that is born in their veins.'" The idea of women's passionlessness had not yet fully taken hold in Ellis' own time, either. Ellis' contemporary, the Austrian gynecologist Enoch Heinrich Kisch, went so far as to state that "The sexual impulse is so powerful in women that at certain periods of life its primitive force dominates her whole nature."
Yet the times were clearly changing. In 1891, H. Fehling tried to debunk the common wisdom: "It is an altogether false idea that a young woman has just as strong an impulse to the opposite sex as a young man…. The appearance of the sexual side in the love of a young girl is pathological." In 1896, Bernhard Windscheid postulated, "In the normal woman, especially of the higher social classes, the sexual instinct is acquired, not inborn; when it is inborn, or awakes by itself, there is abnormality."
My research also took me to article upon article quoting Hippocrates and Pluto in the 5th century as well as articles from the Australian Neurologist, Sigmund Freud citing women with "hysteria": a condition that only afflicted women. A Freudian analysis of 'Dracula' even stated that "hysterical symptoms were caused by repressed sexual feelings." The Victorian era found a cure for "hysteria" by performing pelvic massages to women who were afflicted which consisted of stimulating the woman's pelvis (i.e. her genitals).
In times long passed, virginity and purity were of utmost importance as moral capital was used as currency when arranging partnerships and marriages. Sex was also often equated with power. It was a common belief that woman could not hold or harness such power, and therefore, their sexuality must be oppressed. In the 12th and 13th century, churches began to prosecute sexual sinners; punishable by death, mutilation, burning at the stake, hanging, or being suspended in a cage and left to starve to death. Let us also not forget the Scarlet Letter.
It would seem that despite facts that have been presented and upheld through literature and studies that countries that embrace many of the things social conservatives detest- tend to have less sexual dysfunction than the United States, that church and religion will always uphold a sacred secrecy regarding sex.
Have we not evolved throughout the past fifteen centuries enough to embrace sexual liberation? Throughout time, have we not revered the authors of great who talked brazenly about sex?

LONDON, ENGLAND--(Marketwired - July 17, 2017) - FXTM is a brand founded on customer service. Consequently, in just a few years this innovative broker has established itself as a market leader, building a strong reputation for cutting-edge products and localised services.
Education forms a vital part of FXTM's commitment to excellence. In 2016, the broker ran over 50 workshops and seminars internationally, thereby providing traders with access to high-quality training resources. The "global broker with a local touch", FXTM delivers education in a number of languages, and its platform includes products tailored to the individual needs of clients in different markets.
"Education is at the heart of everything we do," explained Andreas Thalassinos, FXTM's Head of Education. "Our in-depth workshops, seminars and webinars are extremely well attended; the audiences are highly engaged and actively participate in the discussions".
This localised approach won World Finance's FXTM the Best FX Broker, Asia award for 2017. Specifically, the broker's dedication to clients in this region, commitment to delivering world-class training, prominence at local events and the quality of its market commentary were key factors in the judges' decision.
FXTM's customer-centric approach also ensured its dominance in this year's Best Customer Service, Global category. Its multilingual customer support team, which works around the clock to provide assistance via both phone and Live Chat, stood out in particular. Indeed, statistics independently verified by PwC show that at over 90 percent, FXTM has one of the highest client satisfaction scores in the industry. Client security was another key consideration for the judging panel; in line with FXTM's ongoing commitment to securing trading conditions, the broker introduced negative balance protection six years before it became a regulatory necessity.
Martin Lamming, Head of Global marketing for FXTM, said: "We are really proud of this reward as it acknowledges our commitment to clients in terms of education and customer service, and we fully intend to keep raising the bar in terms of industry standards."

Sometime last week, people on twitter began changing their avatars to join certain colored teams. I first got wind of the formation of teams from an iJustine twitter. It being a pretty late in the work day, I decided why not and I joined the FF1CAEteam. Most of the "Peaple" went green, obviously. But, I went Pink... Why? Mainly because Vivian likes Pink. ("Pink is the New Black", you know.) Plus, I'm comfortable with my masculinity to be on a pink team.
Basically it was the start of the old school Color Wars... Kinda like field day on the last day of school or camp.
The first challenge was posted today on http://colorwar2008.com/, it's called GAME #1: Bad Ass RoShamBo. Now, RoShamBo means a lot of different things... but, in this case... it's virtual "Rock", "Paper", "Scissors".
Here's how it works (from the aforementioned website):
- Take a picture of yourself throwing either "rock", "paper" or "scissors".
- It must be clear which of the three you are throwing.
- You must be in your team uniform (do your best).
- Upload your photo to Flickr and tag it like this:
rsb:move=yourmove rsb:team=yourteam rsb:player=yourtwittername
(for example rsb:move=rock rsb:team=blueteam rsb:player=zefrank)
- Submit a link to the flickr photo below or at http://www.colorwars2008.com/rsb
If you're interested in finding out how this all came about, check out zefrank's blog about it, here: Colorwar 2008.

Yamaha V Star 250
Don't get offended when that cute coed admires your V Star 250 and blurts out, "Oh, it's sooo cute!" This is not a jab; it's a compliment. Really. Yamaha's smallest cruiser has for years been the bike of choice for the beginning rider and the frugal commuter alike. The carbureted, 249cc V-twin looks the part and provides ample thrust to keep you ahead of traffic. But the heart of the matter is three items on the spec sheet—a seat height of 27 inches, a wet weight of 326 pounds, and a hang-tag with a mere $4,390 printed on it. Now you can use the money you didn't spend to take that coed to a movie.

Engine type: sohc V-twin

Thanks for visiting! You'd think with all of today's innovation, women would feel a little less pressured to breastfeed. We don't build fires in the woods anymore or kill animals with makeshift tools. Though it certainly seems like a nice idea to breastfeed, I think my only motivating factor would be saving money, rather than bonding with the baby. Screw the baby. They don't need those boob nutrients! Anyhow, Whitney Port (The Hills) created a really honest video about the process, in which it's clear she's exhausted, perhaps experiencing depression, and feeling a great amount of guilt, courtesy of other moms.

What more can I do?
So for Valentine's Day, what do you give to someone who means everything to you!? I like to give a little of myself to people I care about but she already holds my heart, mind, and soul. What do you do for the love of your life? I'll do my best to surprise her and make her happy in every way possible. She owns me and can do as she pleases to me. I can barely wait to see her again. Just to gaze at her in person, to touch her, to taste of her, would fill me with delight. I want her more than words can adequately say.

An interview with the founder of Phoenix Rising Yoga Therapy, Michael Lee about how yoga therapy can help people to heal lifelong patterns that hold them back in life. Michael suggests that when we experience emotional tension associated with difficult life events, we also experience physical tension. He reports that holding certain yoga postures, with the support of a therapist, can help you access memories associated with tension, and help to release that tension through the body. He describes how to listen to your body to connect to the beliefs that may be restricting you in often unconscious ways. He gives two examples of how a yoga therapy session might proceed and the kinds of outcomes that can follow. Yoga therapists are trained in some of the methods of psychologist Carl Rogers to help create a loving presence that makes it safe for clients to really notice what is going on inside.

On the March 20 episode of Real Time With Bill Maher, NBC Sportscaster Bob Costas laughed off criticism of his many pro-gun control comments and added to them by asking if people really believe the Founding Fathers wanted "private citizens… to purchase cop-killer, armor-piercing bullets" and an "AK-47"?
Maher opened the door for Costas to do so by citing topics Costas has spoken on –"gay, guns, head injuries"– and suggesting Costas "has to" talk about these things because not other "sportscaster" or "broadcaster" is doing it.
The focus then turned to Costas' April 2014 suggestion that athletes can't be trusted with guns, a rant in which Costas lamented our "gun culture" and the "sorry incidents" that happen because athletes own guns.
In reiterating these points to Maher, Costas pointed to NFL defensive end Greg Hardy, "who just got signed with the Cowboys but sat out most of last year because he was involved in a domestic violence case, which is prevalent in the NFL, and dominated the news last season." The only link Costas could make between the domestic violence case and firearms was that Hardy "threw" his girlfriend "on a couch with loaded shotguns and assault weapons on [it]."
Costas was so absorbed in criticizing guns that he failed to note that guns weren't used in the acts he was attributing to Hardy. Rather, the violence his girlfriend faced was allegedly committed with Hardy's own hands.
Nevertheless, Costas followed this story by asking:
Is this what the Founding Fathers had in mind? That Greg Hardy should be armed to the teeth? That private citizens should be able to purchase cop-killer, armor piercing bullets? That you should be able to have a AK-47?
He said that people who answer these questions in the affirmative need to take their line of thinking "to its logical conclusion." And that means, "if you are fearful [of] a tyrannical government taking away your rights as citizens then you ought to have a bazooka, you ought to have a tank, you ought to be able have nuclear weapons if you can get them before ISIS can get their hands on them."

A dynamic display of light and shadow in the sand dunes of Death Valley. The interaction of light and shadow was nothing less than a graceful dance, aggressive and subtle simultaneously.
I am a fine art landscape photographer living in Savannah, Georgia. My journey into photography began in a photography class in college over twenty years ago. I started with film producing prints in a darkroom. I had an immediate connection expressing myself through photography. It is with this passion I am able to show a viewer of my work an intimate side of me I could never verbalize as well as, hopefully, spark the viewers own imagination. My images have been described as 'haunting and ethereal'. There is a heavy emphasis on solitude in my images while encouraging one to seek their own journey and to get out and explore this beautiful world we live in.

Television Series: Star Trek
Episode #3: "The Corbomite Maneuver"
USA Airdate: November 10, 1966 (#10)
Written By: Jerry Sohl
Music Composed By: Fred Steiner
Directed By: Joseph Sargent
Running Time: 50 Minutes
Rapid Reviewpoints
Story: 10 (out of 10)
Performances: 9
Visual Style: 8
Music: 8
Overall: 9
Verdict: Must See
Comments: The "Corbomite Maneuver" is the first regular episode produced in the first season of Star Trek. While this is evident in a number of minor ways, it does not impact more important aspects – including interactions between Kirk (William Shatner), Spock (Leonard Nimoy), and McCoy (DeForest Kelley). In fact, it is hard to believe this episode is McCoy's debut. The story is a strong example of the USS Enterprise's mission.
Identity Crisis
"What am I? A doctor or a moon shuttle conductor?" –Doctor Leonard McCoy
Also Known As
Clint Howard portrays Balok in this episode. Howard has a long list of television and movie credits, including appearances on Star Trek: Deep Space Nine and Star Trek: Enterprise as other characters. Howard was also the voice of Roo in Walt Disney's original Winnie the Pooh short films. However, besides his appearance in "The Corbomite Maneuver," I remember him best as "EECOM" in NASA's Mission Control in Apollo 13 (1995) – which was directed by his brother, Ron.

Chaka and I woke up in a tent behind a Flying J truck stop. There were about 200 trucks in there, with their motors humming all night long. It was warm, and I had my window unzipped. I opened my eyes, and looked outside. Much to my delight, we had a nice view.
Since we had not gotten much sleep the last couple of nights, we got moving rather slowly, and once we got on the road, we were running late. Somehow, we made up 20 minutes over a 180 mile drive, and we pulled into the Albuquerque airport at 9:39, the exact arrival time of Todd's flight. Not bad for having made a 1600 mile drive!
We all loaded into the truck, and went to eat by the University. I noticed here, and have noticed throughout New Mexico that they call the food "New" Mexican food. It must be politically correct this close to the border.
The Explosion
So we found a parking lot, and all got to work putting parts back on the bikes that were taken off for transport, unpacking and repacking all of our gear, and bolting on my new skid plate to protect the underside of my bike from rocks or logs. Of course I choose a sunny spot, however the Albuquerque sun really got to us since we ended up here for about 2 hours, and it was 104 degrees!
We stripped a bolt
When I was putting in one of the bolts for the skid plate, I tightened it too much, and stripped the threads. This bolt was one of two to hold on both my kickstand., and my foot peg. We put it into the hole, and decided to run the trip anyway.
And then we were off to Pie Town, and the beginning of our ride.

Paul Walker: Read The Offensive Jokes Cut From Justin Bieber Roast
The Justin Bieber Roast was meant to be funny, but this time some comedians crossed the line by using the death of Paul Walker as the butt of their jokes! Read them below and let us know if you thought they were offensive.
Selena Gomez jokes are one thing, but Paul Walker jokes? Not so funny. Comedy Central released a statement on March 17, revealing that the jokes about the late actor will be cut from the roast of Justin Bieber broadcast on March 30 — and Justin actually is happy about it.
Paul Walker Jokes Cut From Justin Bieber Roast
"I'm not saying Martha Stewart is old, but she needs a new Walker more than the Fast and Furious franchise," Natasha Leggero said on stage.
But she wasn't the only one! Jeff Ross joked right to Ludacris, a friend of Paul's, quoting his song.
"'Move bitch! Get out the way!' That's what Paul Walker should've said to that tree," he said, to which he received many boos. "Too soon? Too fast? Too furious? Give me a break, people! I'm trying to save this kid's life."
Luda also reportedly motioned to the cameras that he was not happy with the jokes. Paul passed away in November 2013 after a fiery car crash, so it definitely seemed distasteful.
Comedy Central Release Statement
Luda wasn't the only one offended — Justin said in the press room that he really didn't like the the Paul Walker cracks. Now, Comedy Central has also released a statement saying that they were officially not using the jokes in the broadcast.
"Roasts often push the limits of good taste and we give the participants full reign to try things knowing we have the edit to shape the show," a Comedy Central spokesperson said in a statement. "Sometimes the line is discovered by crossing it. The Paul Walker references will not be in the telecast."
Are you happy the network is removing the jokes? Let us know.

Searchlight Ministries
A project by Andrew Shaw
Testify: We bring Biblical Truth and testimony to the everyday people.
People who struggle with life's hurts, and those who are bound by the chains of addiction. Taking Christ's message to the streets of whatever town/city the Holy Spirit leads us, we humbly proclaim His sovereignty and guide people to His abundant grace. (Psalm 107:2-14)
Comfort: We seek to provide guidance and financial sponsorship to those who desire to enter a Christ centered recovery program or facility but are unable to afford the tuition. Further, we acknowledge that when a person finishes their term at a recovery center they are often returned to their home without guidance or direction.
It is our mission to provide an action plan, and discipleship so that they can be successful in their recovery post-rehab. (2 Cor 1:3-5)
Praise: Guided by the Holy Spirit, we connect people with the Father through reverent, worshipful song no matter what environment in which we are blessed to be immersed. In doing His work, our lives are our daily act of worship to the King. (Hebrews 13:15-16)

Lord let your glory fall upon this project. May your will be established in this ministry in the name of Jesus.
Andrew Shaw more than 3 years ago
As time goes by, and I watch Searchlight grow, I am overwhelmed by God's abundant grace. I know that God is everywhere, but one of our biggest challenges as Christians is to learn to recognize His Kingdom when we see it. Last year, I was blessed to have been part of a recovery program where Christ and the Holy Spirit were tangibly evident every day and coming out of that, It's sometimes hard to stay connected with the Kingdom.
I started this ministry with the God given task of bringing God's word to the streets and recovery centers across North Carolina. In less than two months I have seen walls come down in some of the hardest hearts there are. To those men, we are the Kingdom. For us, however, outside of the recovery center we are immersed in a world where God's power and grace is not always so obvious.
Today, through the actions of a generous donor, I was reminded that God rewards those who act for the benefit of others in secret as in Matthew 6:4. In Luke Chapter 17, when Jesus is asked when the Kingdom of God would come, Jesus replies that the Kingdom is not something that can be observed.
So I ask God to grant me the wisdom to see the reality of His Kingdom in the world around me with the eyes of faith. I ask to see the people who are working towards His goals and to serve along side them. I ask that He allow me to bring His Kingdom to the people and places around me that need Him most.

SIERRA VISTA - The US Air Force confirming that strong winds took down a Tethered Aerostat Radar System that was hovering over Fort Huachuca Monday afternoon. The Aerostat is an unmanned surveillance device used along the border to interdict illegal drug flow. The air drug interdiction program consists of land-based blimps.
Shortly after the blimp came crashing down in the Canyon Del Flores neighborhood work crews quickly cut apart the large, tangled, mass of material that covered local streets in several areas. They loaded up more than a dozen pickup trucks to haul away what they could. Colonel Timothy Faulkner, Garrison Commander at Fort Huachuca said, "Right now we have about 10 sites and we're still searching and looking but as people come home I'm sure we'll get more calls throughout the night."
Just after 1:00 pm the sound of a blimp crashing down on Christopher Peacock's house sent him running outside to investigate. "I didn't know what the noise was, it did startle me because it was a big cracking noise like something broke on my roof or something." Said Peacock.
There was no apparent damage to his roof, but his Peacock's new BMW was scratched all over.
Officials tell News4 Tucson that there were injuries reported and only minor damage to a couple of homes.
Several heavy pieces of machinery came crashing down in the backyard of one home near the base. The homeowner told News4 Tucson that the Department of Defense threatened to confiscate her cell phone if she took any pictures of the materials. That woman declined to talk on camera because her husband works for the Government and he was afraid he would lose his security clearance if they spoke on the record.
Many in Sierra Vista are questioning why the blimp was flying on such a windy day, telling News4 Tucson they usually only see it on calm days. "The Air force Investigative team will come here and they will primarily start doing that assessment in the next 24 hours of why it was flying, or why it broke lose." Said Colonel Faulkner.
Commander Daryl Copp of the Sierra Vista Police Department called the incident, "A freak accident." "Certainly nobody could determine this was going to happen today, nobody could determine the winds going to be blowing the right direction. I mean, they have that up as a matter of national security I suppose." Said Commander Copp.
One of the largest, heaviest pieces of equipment crashed into a backyard on Windmill Court. Army soldiers secured the site and Air Force investigators will haul the top secret material away as soon as possible.
The Aerostat Radar System is run by the Air Force, but the missions are conducted by the Department of Homeland Security.

Bypassing the middleman: a grounded theory of women's self-care for vaginal symptoms

Increasing numbers of women use self-diagnosis and self-treatment in response to vaginal symptoms. I used the grounded theory method to generate theory on women's self-care. Data collection consisted of interviews with 11 women and 3 pharmacists and content analysis of text from consumer literature and advertisements for vaginal antifungal products. The basic problem experienced by women was the need for rapid and convenient relief of symptoms. To accomplish this, women used the four-stage process of "bypassing the middleman," which enabled them to resolve the problem in a timely manner. Media, economics, and social networks were primary influences on women's self-care.

would you rather wednesday
a day late
but hey....that's ok! :)
would you rather go on a dinner date with barry manilow (and his response to everything would be singing the song....Copacabana) or napoleon dynamite (and his response to everything would be saying "gosh!")?
would you rather make a new years resolution (and be forced to keep it) or get a fruit cake for christmas (and be forced to eat it!)?

I would pick the fruitcake... I can never stick to resolutions.. and really, can it be that bad? It has booze in it, right?
And I would pick Napolean.. cause he is just plain awesome... and maybe he could show me his llama, Tina, afterwards??

Oh man!
I have to go with Napolean...at least he could make me laugh! I love to laugh!
Hmmm....the fruitcake you could surely choke down at least within a week, right? A year is a LONG time for a resolution...although I met mine from 2008! There's the trick... set a resolution low enough you can meet it. I'll take door number 2.

1. Napoleon
2. I would have to go with the resolution because I do not care for fruit cake. A little accountability never killed anyone, right.

Last week I completed my journey towards National Board Certification… for now at least! I will not find out my results until November, so my fingers are crossed that I will pass on the first try. If I don't, then I have to get right back to work! In the meantime, I wanted to share my journey with you. I've decided to write a National Board Certification Series that will include Becoming a Candidate (this post), Where do I start?, Staying on Track, and The Assessment Center. If you are a current candidate or thinking of applying for National Board Certification, I hope my experiences will help you along the way!
Why did I decide to try for National Board Certification?
I received both my B.S. and M.Ed. from Auburn University and I began my teaching career in Auburn City Schools {ACS} in 2005. ACS has a high number of National Board Certified Teachers {NBCTs} and having worked alongside many of them I knew that National Board Certification {NB} would be something that I would one day want to achieve. At the time, I knew very little about what was expected for certification, and after moving to Georgia and moving schools several times, I did not look into it again until 2011.
I was finishing up my 6th year of teaching, after having been transferred to a school with a wonderful and supportive administration and faculty. I began reading more and more about the requirements and when my principal confirmed that I would be teaching 1st grade (my favorite!), I decided to go for it!
Eligibility Requirements
Before you become a candidate for National Board Certification, you must first make sure you are eligible. You must hold a bachelor's degree, have completed 3 full years of teaching, and hold a valid state teaching license for those years of experience. For full eligibility requirements including the National Board for Professional Teaching Standards {NBPTS} policies and ethics guidelines, click here. You can also review the Eligibility Verification Forms and Instructions packet by clicking on the picture below.
Choosing a Certificate Area
After you have met all of the eligibility requirements, you must choose a certificate area. This certificate area is the National Board Certification program that you will complete. Give this some thought! Do you want to receive a generalist certificate or one that is subject-specific? I opted for the Generalist certificate in Early Childhood {EC-GEN}. This certificate covers ages 3-8. The NBPTS has 25 certificates available in 16 different subject areas. Think about your teaching practice and which certificate area might fit you best. To see all 25 certificates available, click here.
Resources… What is available in your area?
Resources for National Board Certification vary from state to state and from district to district. What is offered in your area might not be offered elsewhere. National Board Certification comes with fees, but check with your state about possible scholarships. I was able to have my state pay a portion of my fee, which helped out tremendously! Click here for information on fee assistance and scholarships and click here for information by state. Be sure to research these resources early, as many of them have limited funds available.
After you have researched what your state has to offer, get in touch with local universities, your professional organization, district leaders, and administration. There are many universities that provide jump-start classes or cohorts for candidates. Some school districts offer incentives such as a salary increase for achieving, or professional days for portfolio work. My state and district did not provide these resources, however, I have a VERY supportive principal. She graciously offered me 2 professional days to stay home and work on my portfolio. Don't be afraid to ask… all you can be told is no!
I also located a wonderful ONLINE resource that helped me through my entire journey… The Power of Accomplished Teaching. I found this website and immediately joined. It is $35 for a year, but worth FAR more than that small fee. This website include forums for all entries (EC-GEN, MC-GEN, and EC/MC Literacy). NBCTs are there to help guide you through your portfolio entries and the assessment center process. The live chat room helps provide a cohort feel as you meet other candidates and provide support for one another along the way. I would suggest joining this site, even if you have local candidate support! I ended up forming my own cohort with other candidates from Arkansas, California, Arizona, and Tennessee! We became a support system for one another and encouraged each other along the way.
Knowing What Is Expected
After you have determined that you are eligible, have sought out resources available to you, and chosen a certificate area, take some time to review your portfolio entries and expectations. All candidates must submit 4 portfolio entries – with the 4th entry being the same for all certificate areas {accomplishments outside of the classroom}. Candidate cycles begin on April 1st of each year with the portfolio being due on March 31st. Most candidates wait until after the portfolio is sent off to begin preparing for the Assessment Center. First-time candidates have until June 15th to complete the 6 Assessment Center exercises. You can click here to download your certificate area's standards, portfolio directions, scoring guides, and Assessment at a Glance to see what type of entries your portfolio would include. There is also a Take One option available if you are undecided about taking on the whole process of NB.
You will want to take some time and talk with your family about the NB process. Constructing your portfolio requires a lot of time, effort, and dedication. Talk to your spouse and/or children about why you want to pursue NB. Work out a schedule so that every week you have uninterrupted time to work on your portfolio and study for the Assessment Center.
Becoming an Official Candidate
Once you feel that you are ready to take on the journey of National Board Certification, you must apply for candidacy. You can click here to go to the NBPTS application page. After you apply and pay the initial fees, you can begin getting your eligibility forms together and wait for The Box to arrive in the mail!
If you decide to take on this journey, I promise that it will be one you will never forget. I did NB to grow in my teaching career and to make myself a better teacher for my students. Along the way I would always get asked, "What do you get for it?" (I was asked this a lot because my state took away funding/incentives for NB).
What I get is the best professional development available to teachers, the understanding that my teaching practice is not perfect and that it can always be improved, new knowledge in how to teach my students based on the Unifying Concepts of Science, a new way to look at integrating curriculum within my classroom, more ways to interact with my students, new ways to communicate with the parents of the students in my class, new ways to include the community in my teaching, understanding of why I make the choices that I do for my students, collaboration with colleagues across the United States, and the ability to push myself and create my own growth within my own teaching practice. That is what I get…. and to me that is priceless!
The above suggestions are my own and are only what I have found to be helpful during my journey. Please do not rely on these suggestions/resources alone! Complete your own research and always do what works best for you and your teaching practice. Materials © 2012 National Board for Professional Teaching Standards. All rights reserved.

Grand Valley receives gold status from national sustainability group
Posted on May 17, 2017
Grand Valley State University has again received gold status after completing a sustainability assessment developed by the Association for the Advancement of Sustainability in Higher Education.
The Sustainability Tracking, Assessment and Rating System (STARS) gauges the progress of colleges and universities toward sustainability in all sectors, including education and research, operations, innovation and planning, and administration and engagement. Grand Valley joins gold STARS institutions such as Oregon State, Arizona State and Texas A&M University.
"At Grand Valley, sustainability is not an empty buzzword — it is engrained in every practice," said Anne Hiskes, dean of the Brooks College of Interdisciplinary Studies, which houses the Office of Sustainability Practices. "This is a great collective achievement of all colleges and divisions, and recognizes Grand Valley's leadership in sustainability best practices and education not only among its students, faculty and staff, but among the communities of West Michigan as well."
This is the fourth time Grand Valley has participated in the program. Grand Valley became the first Michigan university to receive gold status in 2013, and again in 2014, up from silver status in 2011.
This year, Grand Valley's score increased from 66.05 to 70.80. Yumi Jakobcic, campus sustainability coordinator, credits the improved score to incremental increases across the board.
"Sustainability is a collective effort," Jakobcic said. "We continue to offer more classes containing sustainability-related content and the number of professors engaged in sustainability-related research has increased. Our biggest improvement was in the waste category due to the university's Surplus Store, and our score for buildings increased as well."
The self-reporting assessment included more than 900 questions and includes bronze, silver, gold and platinum statuses. View the full report at http://gvsu.edu/s/0sR.
For more information, contact the Grand Valley Office of Sustainability Practices at (616) 331-7366.
