The area of interest I selected is hand washing with soap and water more effective in Prevent Central Line Associated Bloodstream Infections (CLABSI) in ICU at Memorial Hospital West than washing hands with hand sanitizer (Latif et al., 2015). The program track for my specialty is Family Nurse Practitioner. My chosen area of interest is indeed consistent with my selected program track since it equips me with clinical experiences and practical skills on how to deal with Central Line Associated Bloodstream Infections. Central Line Associated Bloodstream Infections is one of the widespread problems being recorded at the ICU and has resulted in deaths of many patients every year. Therefore, hand washing with soap and water will not only help curb these deaths, but also help reduce the billions of dollars currently spent on healthcare system in the United States (Anderson, 2015). This intervention will be administered to all ICU staff at the hospital. The unit’s staff members include licensed practical nurses, registered nurses, health unit coordinators, and nurse externs.

            I do not want or wish to alter my area of interest. I believe my area of interest is fundamental toward preventing infections in the ICU and enhancing the optimal safety of patients (Eggers et al., 2015). As a nurse practitioner, I would like to find out how hand washing with soap and water helps safeguard patients against contracting new-fangled infections.   

            The area of interest is vital to the program specialty track. Washing hands with soap and water helps increase patient safety as well as avert Central Line Associated Bloodstream Infections. As a Family Nurse Practitioner, I will passionately advocate hand washing using soap and water since such intervention makes the patients’ immune system less vulnerable and promotes patient safety (Anderson, 2015). The area of interest will also increase my competency as a nurse practitioner.

The twelve disciples,(Peter,James,John, Andrew, Philip, Bartholomew,Mathew, Thomas, James, Thaddaeus,Simon,and Judas Iscariot) was a interesting story in the Bible because they came from different back grounds,not religious, educated, or sophisticated, very normal men however, Jesus chose them to do a very important job , being his close circle and spreading the Gospel. Their main purpose was to go into towns where Jesus would come and make preparations for his arrival. The main reason Jesus chose them is because he asked them to follow and they did for his entire life and on the day of the Pentecost the Twelve Apostles witnessed in public the resurrection of Christ. They were then commanded by Christ to go and make disciples of nations. Obviously, they had many positive events spreading the Gospel, they also had the lows dealing with the enemies of Christ, his Crucifixion, betrayal of Judas…The Twelve Disciples as many other stories in the Bible are still applicable in todays world. Once again, the idea of being stronger in a group as opposed to working alone concept,also Judas reflects even though he was put into such an important position of being a disciple of Christ he still failed,,,just as leaders in todays society can fail whether it be in politics, education or religion. I am not very well versed in the Bible, although I was raised in church as a child and teenager, so I will have to do some research gathering initially on some of these post but in this story, I take away that ordinary people can be called to do extraordinary things.
