Instructions: You are the HR Director for Washington Memorial Hospital, a sixty-year old, 250-bed acute care hospital located downtown in a major city. The hospital has been renovated several times over the years and is a landmark in the city. About ten years ago the mayor and the city council began a revitalization project to bring businesses and residents back downtown and establish the downtown area as a conference hub for conventions as well. Their plans have been going well. Finances at Washington Memorial have been tight for the last few years. The hospital employs emergency department physicians along with all hospital support staff. Because of its location, many doctors and patients have been reluctant to use the hospital in the past. The recently hired hospital administrator, however, has plans to change that. She has a vision of making Washington Memorial a “Center of Excellence” in cardiac care and surgery and believes that the cardiac department can be a major profit center for the facility. Monies have been made available to begin the changes and to support the hospital for a few years until the revamping has taken place and the hospital is profitable again. The hospital administrator has hired several consultants who are working on marketing and other strategies for the hospital’s new image, and now you have been asked to look strategically at HR services in light of the changes that are being made. The hospital administrator states that the three most important HR goals are the following. Attracting the best cardiac surgeons and specialists to Washington Memorial, making it a “Center of Excellence” able to provide the best cardiac surgery and care available.Training present staff who wish to remain at the hospital and are willing to adjust professionally.Providing a workplace that is committed to effective employee/employer relations. This Stand-Alone Project is comprised of 5 parts. Develop a plan to support this new strategy through human resources by completing Parts A, B, C, D, and E. (A 10-page response is required.) Five (5) scholarly articles are also required.

ASSIGNMENT: Write a short essay about the impact of reading upon your life. A literacy essay explores one’s growth as a reader. Don’t confuse “literacy” with “literature.” The goal is to come up with a thesis that states how one specific text, or perhaps a series of them, or just the written word in general contributed to your personal development.EVALUATION: What you’ll be graded upon:15% Introduction: You set a context for why it’s important to discuss the place of reading and writing in our lives. How has your experience in these areas shaped your values? What can other people learn from the story you have to tell? You may use a specific anecdote or episode from your life to illustrate your point.15% Thesis: You state in 1-2 sentences your main idea. The thesis is the culmination of your introduction.30% Organization. You have two options for organizing your essay, depending on the focus you take:OPTION 1: If you are writing about your experience becoming literate (learning to read and write), you will probably take a narrative approach, detailing your first experiences in school or your first memories of books or the first time reading or writing seemed to make a big impact on your life. You will want strong transition from paragraph to paragraph, and your paragraphs should be around six sentences in length to be fully developed. Your organization will probably be chronological, moving from stage to stage in your life.OPTION 2: If you focus more on a specific text or a specific reading experience, you’ll structure your essay in a more subject-by-subject fashion. Your introduction will establish that you are writing about significant moments at which literacy or particular texts impacted your life and give a sense of why those moments or texts are important. Your body paragraphs will be organized around each of those texts or moments, explaining what they were and narrating why they mattered. You will still want strong transitions and paragraphs of roughly six sentences.10% Conclusion: Regardless of which option you choose, you want a conclusion that avoids summarizing what you’ve just said. You also don’t want to say, “In conclusion.…” Your aim in a conclusion is to place the discussion in a larger context. For example, how might those experiences be similar to or different from those of other individuals? How do you envision the role of reading in your life in the future?15% Grammar and mechanics: Your paper avoids basic grammar mistakes, such as dropped apostrophes in possessives, subject/verb disagreement, arbitrary tense switches, etc. The paper demonstrates a commitment to proofreading by avoiding easy-to-catch typos and word mistakes (effect for affect, for example). 15% Presentation: Your paper meets the minimum length criteria of 500 words, is typed with an original title (remember that titles reflect the main idea of your writing, not the assignment; thus, no one should title his or her paper "Literacy Narrative" or "Essay #1).
