0 Comments

Individuals who are looking to make a personal change in their life, such as enrolling in an advanced degree program, may be surprised to learn about all the options that are available to them.

Wisconsin Indianhead Technical College (WITC) will now be offering a two-year administrative professional associate's degree, which will be completely online this fall.

School officials said that this is a way to meet the high student demand for the program, while also working with nontraditional students' schedules, as some may have families or careers that they need to devote the majority of their time to.

"WITC received many requests from students to provide the program online," said Leslie Bleskachek, the school's academic dean. "This recognizes the need for full-time employees to have an option to enroll, even if they are working during the day and can’t attend day classes.

Long-term nurses can often offer tips for patients to relax, such as Dahn Yoga meditation practices, which can put the individual at ease. However, while it's important to have these skills on hand, it's crucial that a nurse has the education background in order to treat patients to the fullest.

Care2Learn Incorporated, a company that focuses in online training for healthcare professionals, announced a partnership with the American Association of Long Term Care Nursing (AALTCN) to develop four new online certificate programs for LTC nurses.

Among the available online certificates are director of nursing in LTC, licensed practical nurse in long-term care, registered nurse in long-term care and a nurse assessment program.

Personal development may take more than positive thoughts

0 Comments

In order to let go, many people turn to relaxation techniques such as Dahn Yoga brain wave vibration in order to feel at peace. While having a positive attitude is healthy, a recent study suggests that some people may need more than just good thoughts in order to succeed.

Research that was published in Psychological Science, a journal from the Association of Psychological Science, reports that people who believe that they're prepared for a test typically have the opposite effect when they actually take the exam.

The scientists wrote that the test taker develops a false sense of security beforehand because he or she believes that they already have all of the answers. However, for those who may feel that they're alone in this mistake are actually wrong. Nate Kornell, a psychologist from Williams College, said that in most situations, people who predict that they will do well on a quiz often perform poorly.

"There is a disconnect among beliefs, judgments and actual memory," Kornell explains. He added that this simply means that people should study longer than they believe they have to.

Relaxation techniques are important for those who need to study, as they may be able to focus more on the information when they have a clear mind.
