Is associate in applied arts the same asassociate of arts degree?
==Answers== Whenever so see the word "Applied" within a degree title, you know there is going to be a difference. The "Applied" degrees are what we call "Career Oriented," meaning they very particular to the field, and usually designed in such a way as to give the student much of the basics for entry level positions within that field. While this may be good for individuals who have an urgency to get out into the work force quickly, it may or may not be good in terms of transfer to a four year institution. Still, there are some applied degrees that are fully transferable especially when the community college has special articulations with other four year colleges and universities. An individual who may be interested in an "Applied" degree should contact the Transfer Counselor at the school they are attending for more insight into the pros and cons of such a degree. One of the differences between an Arts, Science, and Applied Science/Arts degree is the amount of general education requirements needed to complete the degree for graduation purposes. The Arts degree is really meant for transfer to a four year institution where the student has the opportunity to complete a Bachelor's degree. Therefore, much of the course work is designed to fulfill the general education cluster (first two years of study) of the four year institution with some courses that will serve as prerequisites for the higher level courses within the Junior and Senior years. The Associates in Science will have less general educational requirements, and the Applied area even less. Viper1

Who was the first nurse to earn a nursing diploma in the US 1873?
After a year of training, Linda Richards, the first student to enroll, was the first to graduate from the nursing program. Her diploma is in the archives of the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, DC. Upon graduation, Linda became the night supervisor at Bellevue Hospital in New York City where she met Sister Helen, a nun of the All Saints Order, who had trained in the Nightingale System in London. At Bellevue Linda created a system for charting and maintaining individual medical records for each patient. This was the first written reporting system for nurses which even the famous Nightingale System adopted.

What is the most important determinant of price elasticity of demand?
The price elasticity of demand measures how responsive the quantity demanded of a good is to a change in its price. The value illustrates if the good is relatively elastic (PED is greater than 1) or relatively inelastic (PED is less than 1). A good's PED is determined by numerous factors, these include:
- Number of substitutes: the larger the number of close substitutes for the good then the easier the household can shift to alternative goods if the price increases. Generally, the larger the number of close substitutes, the more elastic the price elasticity of demand.
- Degree of necessity: If the good is a necessity item then the demand is unlikely to change for a given change in price. This implies that necessity goods have inelastic price elasticities of demand.
- Price of the good as a proportion of income: It can be argued that goods that account for a large proportion of disposable income tend to be elastic. This is due to consumers being more aware of small changes in price of expensive goods compared to small changes in the price of inexpensive goods.
The following example illustrates how to determine the price elasticity of demand for a good. The price elasticity of demand for supermarket own produced strawberry jam is likely to be elastic. This is because there are a very large number of close substitutes (both in jams and other preserves), and the good is not a necessity item. Therefore, consumers can and will easily respond to a change in price.
What is the difference between an undergradutate degree and a high school diploma?
The high school diploma indicates the completion of 12th grade. The next level would be undergraduate work, which can include an associates degree (a two year program of study beyond high school), or a bachelors degree (four year program of study beyond high school). After completion of the bachelors degree (undergraduate), comes graduate work which includes the masters and doctoral levels).
What is an Associate's Degree AAAS?
Whether a two year degree is classified as an Associate of Arts (AA), an Associates of Science (AS), or Associates of Applied Science(AAS), is dependent on how many general education courses are required to complete the degree. If you look at the AA, you will find that the programs specific to many areas have a well rounded general education mix. This is to ensure - for transfer purposes to a four year college or university - that they satisfy the four years institutions first two year general cluster area. Now looking at the AS degree, you will find that there are less general education requirements and more career oriented courses required to complete the degree. I guess one example would be an AS in Nursing (RN). Here, the general education course requirements are less because of the professional phase courses that are needed to complete the degree. Thus, you can see that the AS degree is more specific to the career. Now let's look at the AAS degree. Here the program of study is very particular to the career, with even less general education requirements needed to complete the degree. In other words, the AAS is designed to give an individual all the expertise necessary to enter their chosen career - at least at an entry level position. That being said; please note the following. In regards to the above, please check with the Transfer Counselor at the two year college as to the transferability of the AS, and AAS degrees to four year colleges and university should you want to pursue a higher degree at a later date. Many of the two year colleges have special articulations with the four year schools for many programs, to include those which fall into the AS and AAS categories.

How much is tuition at a typical junior college?
The tuition of community colleges (pubic two year institutions) vary according to the college and state mandates. However, it will be much less than four year institutions. I would ruffly estimate approximately 1,300 - 1,400 per semester. This does not include books. Private institutions whether two or four year schools are typically much more expensive. Personally, I do not understand why some individuals pay so much for a private institution at the associates or bachelor degree level. As long as the college or university has a regional accreditation it is fine.

What is the interaction between fiscal and monetary policy?
Fiscal policy chooses government expenditure and taxes. Monetary policy chooses interest rates to reach a set inflation target and minimise the output gap. The interaction in where fiscal authorities chooses a level of government expenditure that is not consistent with its steady state. This effects the output gap/inflation and thus interest rates, hence the interaction.
How do written communication skills differ from verbal communication skills?
You speak one, and you write the other.
With spoken language, sarcasm, for example, is easier to be distinguished. However, written language, the tone of someone's mood/attitude is not always apparent and can get lost in translation, causing an unnecessary conflict.
How do you work full time while in the nursing program?
It will not be easy, but it is possible. There are colleges that offer weekday-weekend programs for those who wish to pursue a career in nursing, but who must work a full-time job. The courses typically start late Friday, and run through Sunday.
There are a few different kinds of associate's degrees. You can earn an Associate of Arts, Associate of Science, or Associate of Applied Sciences. The Associate of Arts, or A.A. as it is commonly called, encompasses a liberal arts and sciences background, with emphasis on the humanities. The A.A. is a good degree to have under your belt if you choose to pursue a bachelor degree in a writing or arts-based field. The Associate of Science degree program gives a liberal arts and sciences background as well, but keeps an emphasis on math and science. Students going into business, engineering, or agriculture are encouraged to earn an Associate of Science. Associate of Applied Science is specifically geared towards students who want to finish their degree and move directly into employment. Many times A.A.S. degrees are available in nursing, medical assisting and so on.
An associate's degree is a good first step to take on your road of education. You will emerge from community college confident of your direction, with a certificate to show for it. Who knows if you will go out to find a job or move on to earn a bachelor's degree, but you'll have a solid background with which to do it.

What countries practice free market economy?
Historically, a fully free market has never existed. Most "free market" economies are "mixed."
To expound on the above, a "true free market" is one where there is no government involvement whatsoever - that is, no regulations or laws of any sort. The only role of a government in a TFM is to provide a common currency, and to enforce contracts.
For fairly obvious reasons, a TFM is a really, really bad idea. It inevitably allows for the exploitation of the poor and less powerful by those who have more wealth or power. Actually, that's not a strong enough statement. A TFM requires that those with more power and wealth abuse those below them, and quickly leads to almost total concentration of wealth in a tiny minority of hands.
Consequently, all countries which use a Free Market form of economy also impose some level of regulation upon it, to remove the worst excesses. The level of government intervention in a Free Market economy varies from country to country, but allcountries employ some form of regulation.
_______________________________________________________________
Many commonwealth countries, like Australia, England, and other parts of western Europe run on a free market economy.
Even countries before considered to be state-controlled (Russia and it's former possessions, China, ect. are in 'transition economies', which means they are changing from central economies to pure lazziez faire (another term for free market, translates from french into "Let do" or more broadly "Leave it alone".)
Although all countries imply laws and regulations on what's legal or not for distribution, the state, for example cannot intervene with legal trade between one man and another.
Philosophically, it's a fair and human way to exchange labor, time and money from one to another. A free market allows the potter to get his food, and the hunter his bowls through these means. A question to ask yourself is... should there be a middle man in these transactions? Should a corporation suck up the earnings of both men under the guise of 'income tax'? Sorry if it's a long answer, but basically you can never have too many nations without true FM.
To reiterate the first answer's point: no True Free Market economy currently exists. What we often refer to as a Free Market is what economists call a "mixed" market - some level of regulation as to allowable economic behavior (including some level of price subsidy/fixing for certain goods or markets), combined with the free market style of ordinary transactions.
Laissez-faire is a type of free market system, not a synonym for one.
It has been found that a completely laissez-faire system (which is often what is referred to when one speaks of a "True" free market) leads to serious societal problems, which is why all countries adopting a Free Market economy have chosen some form of regulation to counter these problems. A combination of regulation and a free market trading system is what economists call a Mixed Market Economy.
For more information about what a "Free Market", "Market Economy", and "Mixed EconomY", take a look at the three Wikipedia links below. In particular, the one on "Market Economy" points out the different subtypes being used.

How many years does it take to become a mental health therapist?
Usually at least six years of college to the Master's level, then licensure by the state. There are exceptions in some fields*, and many so-called therapists who are only minimally qualified and working under someone else's supervision.
*A person with a bachelor's degree, for one example, can become a Certified Addiction Professional or Certified Mental Health Professional without additional college, but the special courses and the written and oral exams amount to about the same thing -- with perhaps more practical aspects in terms of what is learned.
