Abstract
This paper examines Islamic precepts which allow nursing relations between a child and a wet nurse to be treated similarly to blood relations. The paper explores the historical roots of this curious situation as well as the impact of this feature of traditional Islamic law upon relations between the wet nurse and the child, between married couples and between the biological mother and her child. The paper further discusses the negative impact of such a law upon biological mothers. The paper concludes by noting how this curious feature of Islam can be interpreted as revealing much about the status of Muslim women as well as the advantageous status of Muslim men.

Abstract
This paper explains that the primary concerns with regards to legal and ethical issues surrounding the interviewee?s career choice relate to ethical considerations, the legal system, and administrative regulations. The author points out that there is an increased incidence of worry and concern over malpractice claims, which has led to many nurses practicing defensive care with overly conservative treatment, rather than preventive and supportive care. The paper relates that this interview confirmed that nurses in the field are having a difficult time coping with increased demands on the scope of their duties, which brings about ethical issues in the medical community, because, in many situations, it impacts a nurse?s ability to provide optimal and direct patient care.

Abstract
This paper looks at nursing and obstetrical nursing and investigates what agencies police and design the curricula for these fields. The State Boards of Nursing and the National League for Nursing Accrediting Commission are examined and the policies and standards that they set are discussed as well as the required curriculum content and development they oversee. Their impact upon curriculum development and revision is also reviewed.
From the Paper
"In the arena of nursing, there are so many specialties, so many fields, so many types of nurses, that there must be governing and regulatory bodies. Without such organizations that regulate and control nursing and nursing education programs, there would not be a singular and uniform set of expectations for this nation's nursing professionals. The two organizations that will be discussed in regard to how they influence the regulation of nursing, and more specifically how they could influence obstetrical nursing, are the National Council of State Boards of Nursing (NCSBN) and the National League for Nursing Accrediting Commission (NLNAC). The first of the two governing agencies that this paper will discuss and investigate is the NCSBN."

From the Paper
"Much has been written about the nursing shortage that plagues physicians, hospitals and nursing homes in the United States. At the same time that there are fewer qualified nurses available in the work force a number of states and municipalities have passed regulations regarding the nurse-to-patient ratio that is making the situation even more acute. As a result, healthcare providers have been forced to be innovative in the way that they attract nurses to their institutions and recruiting efforts..."

Abstract
This paper focuses on the effects of the new nurse-staffing law passed in California. It examines the advantages and disadvantages of the enactment of the law. The author also reviews the impact that the staffing laws are having on the future of nursing care.
From the Paper
"They also had to make decisions as to whether their budgets could afford this and whether certain amount of beds or possibly even whole wards would need to be shut down, at least for the time being. This could hurt patients needing medical treatment, but in general would likely improve the care that they received and the waiting times that they were forced to endure, simply because there would be more people available to deal with them. By reducing the flexibility of nurse staffing, however, many of those that operate hospitals in the state of California believe that the amount of patients that they will be able to see will actually decrease. This will obviously be a problem for those needing medical care in that state (Benson, 1999; Leighty, 2004)."

Conclusion
From the Paper
"Islam is a religion that claims nearly 1 billion followers in countries throughout the world. Islam originated in what is now Saudi Arabia and from there the religion has expanded along the routes of Africa and Asia. The country with the most Muslims is Indonesia, with 120 million (Ridenour, 2001). Laws can tell much about a culture. Laws can inform us about a society's government, the economic makeup of that society, family relations of that society, religious beliefs, and much more. Islamic law by contrast seems to represent one of the world's largest legal systems, which has originated as an important part of the religious process."

Political Schisms and Islamic Law

Conclusion
From the Paper
"Islamic law had its roots in pre-Islamic Arab society. This society and its law showed both profane and magical features. The law was magical in so far as the rules of investigation and evidence were dominated by sacral procedures, such as divination, oath, and curse; and it was profane in so far as even penal law was reduced to questions of compensation and payment. There are no indications that a sacred law existed among the pagan Arabs; this was an innovation of Islam. The magical element left only faint traces, but Islamic law preserved the profane character of a considerable portion of penal law. It also preserved the essential features of the law of personal status, family, and inheritance as it existed, no doubt with considerable variations of detail, both in the cities and among the bedouin of Arabia."

Introduction
With the exception of the laws of the Assyrians and the Code of Hammurabi, there is no system of recorded law, literally from China to Peru, which upon first emergence, is not viewed as being linked with religious observance and ritual (Fyzee, 1963, p. 33). This can certainly be observed with respect to Islamic law.
Relatively little has been written in English with respect to Islamic legal tradition. Some would consider this a very serious shortcoming especially when considering the almost continuous state of tension in the Middle East and magnitude of the Islamic ..."

Abstract
This paper discusses Islamic Law (Sharia) in general, as well as examines the benefits and risks associated with in engaging in Islamic business transactions. Additionally, examples are given of the various types of business transactions that are often associated with international business transactions associated with the Islamic world. In the end, it is shown that while it may be challenging to conduct international Islamic business transactions, it is worth the effort to avoid economic isolationism.
From the Paper
"One of the problems in dealing with Islamic law in the realm of international business is that Islamic law has many inconsistencies that make predictability in business matters a major concern. Additionally, the inconsistencies often vary between different sects of Islam, such as between Sunnis and Shi'ites, for example. Indeed, the lack of uniformity and consistency can be confusing and disconcerting. Sharia, which is Islamic law, proceeds by way of example rather than principle. While this does present issues to international business dealings, each of the Islamic States in the Gulf region currently has a set of codified corporate laws."

Abstract
This paper examines how Islam's long history of persecution and discrimination aimed at religion outside the realm of Muslim belief, leads to the conclusion that Islam is neither a tolerant religion nor a compromising civilization. The violent terrorist actions of many of today's modern Muslims serve only to underscore this basic belief.

From the Paper
"It was tolerance and patience that Paul the Apostle preached with these words to the Thessalonians of biblical Greece, along with a warning that iniquity, or gross injustice, was even then rampant among mankind. As history unfolded, Paul's words of warning were to materialize among the Thessalonians, as well as among the majority of Eastern Europe's civilized world, disguised in a face of tolerance. This face of tolerance called itself Islam."

Registered Nurse vs. Nurse Practitioner, 2008.

Abstract
The paper defines and describes the duties, obligations and educational abilities of both a registered nurse and nurse practitioner in order to determine the motivations of nurses to transfer positions. The paper provides a literature review and concludes that a more in-depth analysis is necessary to truly assess a nurse's motivation for expressing interest in transferring to the role of nurse practitioner. The paper also shows the need for more studies on whether such a transfer will bring greater job satisfaction and motivation than if the nurse were to remain as a registered nurse.

Literature Review
Strengths & Weaknesses of the Concept
Discussions & Summary Conclusions
From the Paper
"At present, there is a national crisis within the nursing industry. More and more, people are interested in becoming nurses. Nurses work in many capacities in clinics, community centers, hospitals and in private practice. However for some, there is no clear distinction between an R.N. and a Nurse Practitioner. Further, there is little data exploring the mechanisms through which a nurse may decide to pursue an advancing career, and what support if any he or she may receive in doing so. The purpose of this paper is to clarify the roles of these two positions, and assess which is most needed given the status of the nursing and healthcare industry in the United States today."

Abstract
This paper examines the Nation of Islam as a social movement and tests whether its traditions and roots are really found in traditional Islam.
From the Paper
"The presence of God (Allah) is another and maybe the most critical difference between the Nation of Islam and traditional Muslims. The Nation of Islam was founded in the 1930?s by a man named W. Fard Muhammad. Fard Muhammad believed he was sent to wake ?the black nation to the full range of the black man?s possibilities in a world temporarily dominated by the blue eyed devils.?(5) It is the Nation of Islam who has since said, ? We Believe that Allah appeared in the Person of Master W. Fard Muhammad, July, 1930; the long awaited ?Messiah? of the Christians and the ?Mahdi? of the Muslims.?(6) Fard Muhammad taught that the African American culture was unique and separate from that of ?the Caucasian devils.?(7)
