Wrongful Work Termination Because of Age and Sex Discrimination
Tags: civil rights discrimination profession
Wrongful work termination based on age and sex should be prohibited in workplaces.

As a matter of fact, employment termination because of age and sex is prohibited by Congress, state, and local legislature. Federal and state labor laws exist to protect employees from workplace discrimination. Nowadays age and sex should not be a factor in termination of employment otherwise an employer will be liable for his/her actions.

The Nursing Image: A Position Paper
Tags: advocacy advocate Community Health Nursing ethics future of nursing media Nurse Education nursing ethics Perception perioperative Position Paper profession reflection
The nursing image connotes a healing caregiver at a patient’s bedside. Nursing as a highly skilled and education profession remains incongruent with media and advertising portrayal of the nursing image, in contrast to published reports as the most trusted profession for the past decade.
