What should you look for in a quality curriculum for nursing programs

The nursing and healthcare industry provides a valuable service to people and the community. Nurses have to go through a rigorous work routine and prepare themselves academically throughout nursing programs to be able to provide this quality service. Focus, dedication, hard work, and most importantly care for people are some of the qualities among others that you have to develop.

But it is not just the student’s responsibility, the university or college offering nursing programs must also ensure a quality curriculum when it comes to imparting practical and theoretical knowledge that will enable aspiring nurses to one day selflessly serve and cater to a patient’s every need.

Here are some of the things you should look for in a quality curriculum for nursing programs:

Expertise: The faculty of any institution is responsible for imparting knowledge which will one day train aspiring nurses to save someone’s life. This faculty should be competent to impart such knowledge, both theoretical and practical while training students which is among the first things you should consider while doing a background search on the nursing programs and the university in general.

Duration of nursing programs: Since there are a lot of fundamentals and basics to be covered in any nursing program, the course duration must be something which will cover all the essentials without too much of workload and academic preparation. Organizing the curriculum is key, which will help you ease into the program and also pick up the pace when needed, thus improving your time management skills.

Curriculum: Nursing programs will have a number of topics to be covered within the set duration, which is why it is essential to focus on topics which should be and can be covered in depth rather than covering the entire curriculum. This is a clear indicator of high-quality nursing programs, which will be able to cover the most important topics in depth after taking care of the fundamentals. Check the curriculum and how the subjects are being taught. Also, check to see if theoretical is an area of key focus or nursing programs lean more towards a practical approach, or whether there is a balance of both.

  • 5 fantastic Android phone options

    There are plenty of brands such as Samsung, OnePlus, Motorola, Google, TCL, Sony, and others offering Android-powered phones. You can select a handset that suits your needs and fits in with your budget as they are priced from $1,800 to a little under $500. In case you’ve been wanting to switch from another OS or are transitioning to the world of smartphones belatedly, here are some of the best Android smartphones to check out.

    Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra
    One of today’s top smartphone companies overall, Samsung has a lot to offer in terms of camera performance, and the Galaxy S22 Ultra proves the same. The S22 Ultra carries on the legacy of the Note with the S Pen now integrated into the device. On the flipside, the Galaxy S22 Ultra still has battery life issues compared to its predecessors. The phone can survive for 10 hours on a single charge, but in the 120Hz adaptive mode, it only lasts for about 8 hours —far less time than some rivals. Using the 30x zoom lens produces high-quality photos. It also comes with an incredible AMOLED display.

    Google Pixel 6 Pro
    The best smartphone currently offered by Google is the Pixel 6 Pro. It’s Google’s newest flagship device, with a big 6.7-inch QHD+ screen that has a quick 120Hz refresh rate. Additionally, it features the brand-new Tensor system-on-chip, made by Google. With a telephoto lens that has 4x optical zoom, the Pixel 6 Pro has the greatest camera yet seen on a Pixel device. On this phone, Android 12 shines well. This is one of the most affordable flagship phones available right now, with a 128GB model beginning at $899. 

    OnePlus 10 Pro
    As opposed to Samsung, OnePlus offers a user experience free of advertisements and adware while also delivering cutting-edge features such as adaptive 120Hz panels and reverse wireless charging. The phone costs $899, which is comparable to Google’s flagship. The OnePlus 10 Pro is an excellent choice for landscape photography because of its 50-megapixel ultra-wide lens. Additionally, the renowned camera manufacturer, Hasselblad’s natural color-tuning makes images and movies look realistic. The OnePlus 10 Pro supports both Warp Charge Wireless 50 and SuperVOOC 65. As a result, you can charge your phone from 0% to 100% in just 29 minutes. 

    Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3 5G
    The top flip phone on the market right now is the Galaxy Z Fold 3. The Z Fold 3 is the ideal phone and tiny tablet combination thanks to the addition of S Pen compatibility and an IPX8 water-resistant build. The Galaxy Z Fold 3 has a remarkably strong and quick 5G connectivity in both its smartphone and tiny tablet modes. With a 120Hz refresh rate, Samsung’s beautiful AMOLED technology, and exclusive S Pen functionality, the huge 7.6-inch primary display is gorgeous. You get water resistance, triple back cameras, a 10MP front camera, and an unusual 4MP under-display camera. You can easily make it through a whole day on the 4,400mAh battery. 

    Google Pixel 6a
    For a phone that costs less than $500, the Pixel 6a shoots excellent photographs. Additionally, the Pixel 6a and 6a Pro are both powered by the same Tensor processor, making them compatible with AI-powered software such as on-device translation and intelligent photo editing. It has a 6.1-inch OLED screen with Android 12 software. The 12MP sensor is large and would probably allow in more light while using the ultrawide angle lens. The main camera is still equipped with a 12.2MP sensor. But there’s no need to wait any longer if you’ve been looking for an excellent camera phone at a great price.

  • 5 tips to choose a pediatrician

    How tough can it be for new parents to find a doctor for their child? Not much, right? After all, there are plenty of qualified pediatricians out there. But at times, the sheer availability of choices can make it difficult to select a good doctor. On other occasions, you may not know how to make the right choice for your child. So what’s a new parent to do?

    Here are five tips to help you choose the right pediatrician.

    • Ask your friends, neighbors and other family members for referrals. Recommendations from a trusted source are one of the best ways to find a doctor for your child. You can also ask your primary care provider or ob-gyn to recommend a few names of good pediatricians in town.
    • Research additional information about the referrals. Don’t just take anyone else’s word about a doctor. Check educational background, experience, and certifications for each name on your list. Also, find out which of these pediatricians work with your health insurance provider.
    • Make a list of your top three choices. Schedule an appointment with each of these pediatricians to assess your comfort level with them. You don’t want to wait until you need to see your pediatrician after your baby is born and have a bad experience. Gauge your comfort level with each of the doctors on your list and ask them questions you have in mind about their practice.
    • Observe the staff behavior, cleanliness in the clinic and overall vibe of a pediatrician’s practice. Do you like what you see? Along with your comfort level with the doctor, it is also important that you feel at ease with the staff also. After all, they are the ones who will handle your telephone inquiries; schedule your appointment and process payments. So, find a doctor who passes your selection criteria with good grades.
    • Do a final check and look for any malpractice suits associated with your top choice. Look for irregularities in their practice as gleaned from online reviews.

    With some careful considerations, you can easily find a doctor who will provide the best medical care to your child.

  • Smart TV Technology Features

    Although still evolving, Smart TV technology and software has come a long way. Already available are the open source software frame works and proprietary software’s that can run applications available via an ‘app store’ digital distribution platform, personalised communications, interactive on-demand media, and may also have social networking features.

    For individual purposes, different types of Smart TV platforms are available. Since the owners of these Smart TVs require the best of the platforms capable running on their device, rankings of these platforms can get very competitive and directly affect the market. The business of technology handles various platforms like Hbb TV that is provided by the Hybrid Broadcast Broadband TV Association, CE-HTML that is a part of Web4CE, OIPF that is a part of HbbTV, and Tru2way. Individual companies on the other hand manage framework platforms like Opera TV, Open TV, Frog, Google TV, Horizon TV, Firefox OS, Android TV, Media room, Boxee, Inview, Kodi Entertainment Center, httvLink, MeeGo, Plex, Roku, RDK that stands for Reference Development Kit, Ubuntu TV, Smart TV Alliance, ToFu Media Platform, and Yahoo!

Philips, Samsung, Sharp, LG, Microsoft, Netgear, Hisense, Hitachi, Insignia, Amazon, Apple, Sony, TCL, TiVO, Panasonic, Haier, Western Digital, Toshiba, Google and Sling Media are some of the current Smart TV platforms used by vendors.

    When it comes to social networking, some smart TV platforms have the facility of social networking technology capabilities that may come pre packaged or be optionally extended as per the requirements of the user. Adding social networking synchronisation to smart TV and HTPC platforms has helped provide a better interaction with both on-screen content and other viewers than what is currently available with most televisions. They also simultaneously provide a much more detailed cinematic experience of the content than what is presently available with most computers.

    Certain smart TV platforms also support advertising in the form of addressable advertising with local advertising insertion, interactive advertising and targeted advertising peppered with advanced options like ad telescoping.
