    Nurse Educators Needed Stat!
    Nursing is the nations largest health care profession, with more than 2.7 million registered nurses nationwide, and nursing students account for more than half of all health professions students in the United States. Applications to attend nursing schools continue to increase nicely but did

    Interview Question: Why Should We Hire You?
    This is a common interview question that pops up and is one that pretty much sums up the point of a job interview in the first place.In other words, what can you do for our company?Essentially the company is looking to hire someone to solve a problem or fill a need.It ca
    The concepts of stock and flow are often used when dealing with knowledge management. The stock of knowledge would be the level of knowledge of one employee (or even a whole organization) and the flow of knowledge would indicate the amount of knowledge that is transferred between people; the usage of the knowledge in organizing activities. These concepts -- of stock and flow -- help to give insight on the matter, because they are already common to us because of other areas where the same concepts are used. And we have learned them at school.

    Basic electronics is about a current that flows through an electric circuit. This flow is tempered by a certain resistance. And for a certain amplitude of the current -- given the resistance in the network you need provisioning power: the voltage. The resistor absorbs the current and for the same kind of current given the resistance you need more power. The flow (current) and the resistance (stock) operate in a reciprocal proportional way.

    The stock and flow concept also is a valid way to analyze economic systems. In economics the flow of money is the (circulation) velocity of money. The Quantity theory of money states that this velocity of money is defined as “the ratio of net national product in current prices to the money stock.” Or V = (P * Q) / M. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantity_theory_of_money)

    In this case the causal relation between stock and flow are less transparent as in electronics.

    In knowledge management the relation is perhaps even less transparent...

    There, the stock of knowledge is saved on a human (resource) level. Through our lives, we have built up some knowledge and this is stocked. But for the welfare of organizations this stock of knowledge is not the most important. If there is someone in the team who has the capacity to fulfill a certain job but is reluctant to do so, there is no use of this stock (of knowledge).

    Why I Like The Ads I Hate!
    It's been said that the antidote to liking/loving is not hating, but indifference. So, when an ad makes you angry or disgusted or evokes any other strong emotion, it has done it's job. That is what advertising is supposed to do! Isn't it?There is an advertisement currently running
