Prepare an ad for a destination city or country wherein you describe what tourists can expect when they arrive in terms of climate and wildlife.

You’re working as a travel agent, and you’re planning on advertising trips based on the terrestrial biome associated with specific destination cities or countries. Prepare a minimum of 150 word ad for a destination city or country wherein you describe what tourists can expect when they arrive in terms of climate and wildlife. Aim your ad at those tourists more interested in the biology/ecology of the area as opposed to city sites or attractions. Advertisements for or verbiage regarding man-made attractions/city life will not count towards your word count.

Do not simply copy the information from your text or the internet – put things in your own words. Also, remember you’re trying to get people to purchase trips to your destination city/country, so strictly using terminology from the internet wouldn’t likely be very appealing.

How would you retain the nurses you have?

According to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics (as cited in American Association of Colleges of Nursing, 2019), over 200,000 new RNs will be needed each year through 2026 to replace nurses who retire and to fill new positions. National Council of State Boards of Nursing and The Forum of State Nursing Workforce Centers (as cited in American Association of Colleges of Nursing, 2019) reported that about 51% of today’s RNs are 50 years old or older. These are dramatic numbers and represent a challenge for future nurse leaders and managers.

If you were a nurse leader or manager, how would you retain the nurses you have? How would you recruit additional nurses? In your opinion, what do you think the future of the nursing workforce will look like in 50 years?

Your discussion post should look like:

Paragraph one: How would you retain the nurses you have?
Paragraph two: How would you recruit additional nurses?
Paragraph three: What do you think the future of the nursing workforce will look like in 50 years?
Resources: Where did you find your data?
