The lack of education leads to further development of barriers such as a financial barrier and poor lifestyle that makes them unable to provide for themselves and their child. Most jobs that do not require a high school diploma only offer a minimum wage and do not offer adequate benefits to meet all medical needs. “key indicators of health, infant mortality rates and low-birth weight rates, were elevated when infants were born to mothers who were less educated” (Flores et al,1998). Considering that statement I believe that the biggest barrier affecting this vulnerable population’s health is education. Vulnerable mothers that do not finish getting their education become discouraged and loose the motivation and drive to tackle the oncoming challenges that life brings, creating for them another barrier on the micro level; it being a financial barrier.

One being that congress has found that multiple hospitals throughout the United States do not have enough staff to safely and adequately care for patients. They also found that the research shows patient safety is directly related to the amount of registered nurses (RNs) working. If staffing is adequate, there is a decrease in negative patient outcomes such as falls, medication errors, infection, and even death. Overall, inadequate staffing forces nurses to perform in an environment that does not support quality health care (H.R. 876/S.58, 2011).
According to the article, “Worldwide, adolescent girls are particularly unable to protect themselves against unwanted, unsafe sexual encounters, unwanted pregnancy, disease, and violence for many reasons. Educational is a limited opportunity, and, in turn, limits economic and professional opportunities” p. 102. In national plan, statistic proves girls from ages 16-24 years are parts of vulnerable population. Because they are sexually assault, their health issues as teenage mothers is at very higher risk for premature, low birth weight, and death. Their educational opportunity decreases, and the drop out of school is enormous because they are not encourage them as much as boys.
Perhaps the biggest impact that the Impact on Nursing (IOM) report had on the nursing profession in general was creating an awareness of what is needed. Some changes in the right direction have been made, but most of the literature seems state, or at least suggest, that not enough has been done, or, given the widespread shortage of nurses, or can be done. For this reason, even more change is needed in the areas of nursing education, nursing practice, and nursing leadership. One of the areas of greatest concern when it comes to the future of nursing is education. There is a shortage of nurses, and not enough seats in nursing education programs to allow for everybody who applies to nursing school to be able to pursue a degree in nursing.
An evaluation of the findings of the Victoria Climbié Inquiry 24.1.08 The Victoria Climbié case served to highlight a number of failures with regard to the duty of care now expected by guardians and agencies alike. The first in a series of neglectful practices is that of the biological parents not making safe provision for their child, Victoria/Anna’s, welfare or education. Given the degree of poverty and political instability in the Sierra Leone/Liberia/Ivory Coast area of West Africa, the opportunity to improve her life chances with a French-resident relative was one that was hurried and not properly researched, nor were the motives of the “aunt”, Marie-Therese Kuoao, discussed thoroughly.

Mothers and childrenAshford universityHCA430: pecial Populations Instructor: Dawn Deem | | | | Shamika McMillan | April 28, 2013 | | Without adequate resources, there is no hope for improvement. Women and children in America are vulnerable. Young mothers become vulnerable due to lack of education and resources to support themselves and their children. The lack of resources that are not available to this vulnerable population are causing children and mothers to live in low income high crime areas with inadequate healthcare and a small chance of obtaining an education. Community based programs are one way to tackle issues facing communities, that if not properly addressed will only worsen.
Stefanie Monderjar Research Proposal Annotate Bibliography Nurses and drug abuse. More and more nurses are receiving negative reviews about attending substance abuse programs due to the fact that they were using while working and their job requires them to be at a level of alertness then most other jobs. Nurses have a higher moral obligation than that of let’s say a construction worker Since it is becoming harder for nurses to come forward about their addiction due to either job punishment or ridicule are their chances of getting clean and staying clean diminished due to those things? Should a nurse be able to come forward get help in a program and then return to work as being a nurse? Because of the moral obligations a nurse has should
