Professional Aspirations

        Having come to the end of years of being in school to obtain my degree, it has given me pause to think about which direction I would like to pursue. Currently I am in a Clinical Systems Educator role in Informatics and have enjoyed it very much but am eager to try a nurse leader position. As much I have loved learning and being with Clinical Informatics, I have over the last few years missed the interaction with patients and nurses alike and I have much to learn as I step into the practicum portion.

Steps to achieve success

        I will be joining the Clinical Leader Manager (CLM) of the Nursing Resource Team to learn the day to day operations of leading such a team. Part of what the CLM does is to oversee and ensure the float pool of interprofessional staff, interview and hire and monitor practice issues and concerns and also Human Resources responsibilities and labour relations. For me to be a successful nurse leader, I will have to be a good decision maker, be able to guide new staff and be comfortable with conflict resolution (The Chicago School, 2021). Having a mentor, who is fair and has the potential to listen will guide me through some of the processes I am not very experienced with. Hunt (2019) says that following a nurse leader can help to cultivate strengths, work on the weaknesses and instill a positive outlook in the future of nurses and nursing.       

        I have been fortunate enough to receive my Leadership Development Certificate from the organization I work for and have covered topics such as leading through change, building resilience in times of uncertainty and understanding yourself and others. My deficits in the nurse leader role is what I have chosen as my professional experience plan which includes working through a disciplinary action by finding out how it starts, when to follow-up and when to offer a learning plan or dismissal. Fortunately for me the area I am going to has just started a disciplinary action and I will be able to get first-hand experience although it is not so fortunate for the person being disciplined. The other area I wish to work on is the Human Resources part of management and the process one must take to recruitment, selection and onboarding of new staff. I have had the opportunity to sit in interviews but have never had the chance to participate in the entire process. For my project, the preceptor has offered me the chance to work on Standard Operating Procedure document for the Resource Team as currently the process is a bit scattered. We will be consulting with another organization that has a Resource Team document that can serve as a guide and tailor the document to the needs of my practicum site and also create a binder where team members can easily the find the information they need.  This is a project that I should be able to complete during my practicum.

Sample solution

Dante Alighieri played a critical role in the literature world through his poem Divine Comedy that was written in the 14th century. The poem contains Inferno, Purgatorio, and Paradiso. The Inferno is a description of the nine circles of torment that are found on the earth. It depicts the realms of the people that have gone against the spiritual values and who, instead, have chosen bestial appetite, violence, or fraud and malice. The nine circles of hell are limbo, lust, gluttony, greed and wrath. Others are heresy, violence, fraud, and treachery. The purpose of this paper is to examine the Dante’s Inferno in the perspective of its portrayal of God’s image and the justification of hell. 

In this epic poem, God is portrayed as a super being guilty of multiple weaknesses including being egotistic, unjust, and hypocritical. Dante, in this poem, depicts God as being more human than divine by challenging God’s omnipotence. Additionally, the manner in which Dante describes Hell is in full contradiction to the morals of God as written in the Bible. When god arranges Hell to flatter Himself, He commits egotism, a sin that is common among human beings (Cheney, 2016). The weakness is depicted in Limbo and on the Gate of Hell where, for instance, God sends those who do not worship Him to Hell. This implies that failure to worship Him is a sin.

God is also depicted as lacking justice in His actions thus removing the godly image. The injustice is portrayed by the manner in which the sodomites and opportunists are treated. The opportunists are subjected to banner chasing in their lives after death followed by being stung by insects and maggots. They are known to having done neither good nor bad during their lifetimes and, therefore, justice could have demanded that they be granted a neutral punishment having lived a neutral life. The sodomites are also punished unfairly by God when Brunetto Lattini is condemned to hell despite being a good leader (Babor, T. F., McGovern, T., & Robaina, K. (2017). While he commited sodomy, God chooses to ignore all the other good deeds that Brunetto did.

Finally, God is also portrayed as being hypocritical in His actions, a sin that further diminishes His godliness and makes Him more human. A case in point is when God condemns the sin of egotism and goes ahead to commit it repeatedly. Proverbs 29:23 states that “arrogance will bring your downfall, but if you are humble, you will be respected.” When Slattery condemns Dante’s human state as being weak, doubtful, and limited, he is proving God’s hypocrisy because He is also human (Verdicchio, 2015). The actions of God in Hell as portrayed by Dante are inconsistent with the Biblical literature. Both Dante and God are prone to making mistakes, something common among human beings thus making God more human.

To wrap it up, Dante portrays God is more human since He commits the same sins that humans commit: egotism, hypocrisy, and injustice. Hell is justified as being a destination for victims of the mistakes committed by God. The Hell is presented as being a totally different place as compared to what is written about it in the Bible. As a result, reading through the text gives an image of God who is prone to the very mistakes common to humans thus ripping Him off His lofty status of divine and, instead, making Him a mere human. Whether or not Dante did it intentionally is subject to debate but one thing is clear in the poem: the misconstrued notion of God is revealed to future generations.
