Define delegation of authority?
Delegation of authority is a formalized process where authority is delegated down by level. For example, a Board would typically delegate certain spending and commercial approvals to the leadership of a business. The leadership might choose to further delegate some decisions and authorizations to lower levels to facilitate the running of a business.
What are the Benefits of delegation of authority?
Delegation has multiple effects since not only the one delegating benefits, even the staff and the company. The one delegating reduces his workload and can focus his efforts and energy into something that needs his/her skills more. The manager delegating is giving himself more time to analyze business trends, anticipate issues, plan and be in tuned with the vision of the company. These are just some of the aspects worth of every manager's focus to be effective as a leader.
Delegation is a very powerful staff motivator. It raises their self-esteem and confidence. It makes them feel involved, that their views and voices are heard, and they are making a difference in their workplaces. It develops in them new skills, which in the long-run, adds value to the company.
No matter how good a person is, nothing beats the spirit of teamwork. Working with others to achieve an aim has been a proven way to succeed. We just have to know how to do it the right way.
Happy delegating!

Why would you put your parent in a nursing home instead of hiring home care?
I heard many people saying that they want to die at home and It's often just too hard to care for someone with a illness, especially at home, without proper facility. Nursing home care brings everything you might need to the home, medications, bandages, expert staff tailored to your need. If you're daunted by home care or simply dont want your loved one's to die at home nursing home is best for you.

What is a nurse that administers medicine and care and is not involved in surgical procedures?
As far as schooling, you can go to school to be an LPN (licensed practical nurse), RN (registered nurse), and also an NP (nurse practitioner) [in order from less to more schooling].
LPN
Licensed practical nurses (LPNs) are also known as licensed vocational nurses (LVNs) in California and Texas and as registered practical nurses (RPNs) in Ontario. They are called enrolled nurses (ENs) in Australia and state enrolled nurses (SENs) in the United Kingdom. These individuals usually have twelve months to two years of training in anatomy and physiology, medications, and practical patient care. They must pass state or national boards (such as NCLEX-PN in the U.S.) and renew their license periodically. LPNs can perform simple as well as complex medical procedures, but must operate under the supervision of either a professional registered nurse (RN) or a physician. They can administer most medications, excluding IV push medications, perform measurements (blood pressure, temperature, TB, etc), maintain patient records, help with patient-care planning, surgery, first aid, CPR, sterile and isolation procedure and basic care. LPNs are often found working under the supervision of physicians in clinics. In long term care facilities, they sometimes supervise nursing assistants and orderlies.
LPNs must at least be high school graduates.
A registered nurse ("RN"), is a health care professional responsible for implementing the practice of nursing through the use of the nursing process (in concert with other health care professionals). Registered nurses work as patient advocates for the care and recovery of the sick and maintenance of the healthy. In their work as advocates for the patient, RNs ensure that the patient receives appropriate and professional care. RNs use the nursing process to assess, plan, implement, and evaluate nursing care of the sick and injured.
A nurse practitioner (NP) is a registered nurse who has completed advanced nursing education (generally a master's degree) and training in the diagnosis and management of common medical conditions, including chronic illnesses. Nurse practitioners provide a broad range of health care services. While nurse practitioners are not trained in medicine, their advanced education in nursing makes this a fast-growing midlevel profession. Nurse Practitioners (NPs) provide much of the same basic, non-emergent care provided by physicians (generally of the type that is easily treated and not life threatening) and usually maintain collaborative working relationships with physicians.
As far as areas you can work in, this is a vast choice for nurses. Registered nurses are employed by physicians, attorneys, insurance companies, private industry, school districts, ambulatory surgery centers and fire departments, among others. Some registered nurses are independent consultants who work for themselves, while others work for large manufacturers or chemical companies. Research Nurses conduct or assist in the conduct of research or evaluation (outcome and process) in many areas such as biology, psychology, human development, and health care systems. If you become a nurse, you can choose from a vast diverse amount of work areas.

How would you answer what your weakness are on a job interview?
This is a common interview question. Despite the question, the interviewer isn't particularly interested in the weakness in its own right. The interviewer is interested in what you do to overcome your weaknesses. For example, if you say "one of my weaknesses is that I can sometimes be disorganised" you could use the following structured response:
Situation: When at college, I had lots of lecture notes and they were hard to organise
Task: In order to study more effectively I needed to organise the notes.
Action: I gave each days notes a code based on the date of the lecture and the subject and filed the notes in individual binders
Result: my notes were more organised, I was able to use my time more efficiently and i passed my subjects.
Notes to remember:
1. where possible, interview responses should me measurable. In the response above you were disorganised and no you're not; also, they should be empirical so if you could say that your grades improved you would be able to demonstrate the effectiveness with greater impact.
2. The interviewer isn't interested in the weaknesses in your private life only in your work life. So, you should avoid personal weaknesses unless they impact directly on how you interact with people.

How do you know nursing will be for you?
The best course to study is the one that leads to your overall career goals and objectives. Thus, I would imagine you do not have anything specific at this time. So many individuals enroll in college programs without a specific goal in mind. As such, many become miserable in their work which is not good for them, or their employer. If you want to be successful in your work and personal life, carefully consider the following.
To be successful in your work, you must acquire a vision. A vision is a clearly articulated picture of the future you intend to create for yourself. In other words, it's a dream. However, if the dream does not have direction, it will always remain a dream and will never become a reality for you. That vision should create a passion within you, a love for what you do and the benefit it will bring to others as well as yourself. Make sure the vision is specific, measurable, attainable, realistic, and tangible. Let us look at this closer. When you believe you have chosen an appropriate career goal, look at it in SMART fashion as follows.
- Specific - Make sure your career goal is very specific. For example, "I would like to be a teacher," is not specific. "I would like to be a high school biology teacher in New Jersey (USA) in an urban school by 2012" is.
- Measurable - Make sure you can measure your progress. How will I know I am progressing in the right direction? This is where the development of short-term objectives comes in (discussed below). You will know you are on the right path as you accomplish each short -term objective.
- Achievable - Is the goal achievable considering my current life situation and circumstances?
- Realistic - Is what I want to do really realistic. For example, "I would like to be a middle weight boxing champion, and I am 63 years old." That is not realistic.
- Tangible - What will I - specifically - have at the end? What will I be (exactly)? It must be very specific.
Once you acquire that vision your path will become clear. Still, you will need a mentor, counselor, or coach who will be able to help you develop a road map embedded with short-term objectives leading to your overall career goals and objectives. The achievement of short-term objectives will indicate you are moving in the correct direction, and will also give you energy and excitement to carry on towards your overall career goal. It will take some research, but you most likely have some ideas already. Follow them through, look at the nature of the field, the everyday routine, the required education, the salary, the occupational demand and the related fields. When a career sparks an interest, try to shadow an individual who is actually doing what you think you might like to do. You can pick up valuable information this way. Thus, the following.
- Acquire the will to change circumstances.
- Acquire the vision (dream).
- Develop a road-map embedded with short-term objectives leading to your overall goal and objective.
- Just do it and do not let go until it becomes a reality.
