Item Ahead of the Curve: UT students share how they’ve jump-started their careers(ORANGE Magazine, 2019-10-07) Chavez, SamanthaItem Endangered Population: A Glimpse Inside the Over Glamorized Travel Nursing Profession(2023-05) Hirani, AlizehSince the 1970s, travel nursing was introduced as a temporary solution to understaffed hospitals to bridge the gap between the supply and demand of healthcare workers. When the COVID-19 pandemic hit in 2020, there was already a significant nation-wide nursing shortage and burnout among those in the profession because the demand outweighed the supply of travel nurses in various hotspots (metropolitan cities with a high number of COVID cases). Though, registered nurses make up a large majority of the healthcare sector, they are one of the most overworked segments in the healthcare industry. In this exploratory study, I am to answer my research questions which is as follows: How has the mindset or atmosphere of the hospital personnel altered as a result of the facts shown above regarding the overworked employees in the healthcare industry? Is there a supportive and encouraging environment in which nurses may carry out their jobs? Has the load placed on healthcare personnel by COVID-19 grown or decreased? To depict the change in demand occurred COVID-19, fifteen female travel nurses between the ages of 25 and 40 were interviewed about their experiences during and after the pandemic, as well as how these experiences affected their decisions to stay in their current jobs or change their career paths. In my results, the answers from the subjects showed how hard they were being pushed because they said they were tired, stressed, and close to breaking. The participants were conflicted about integrating into their new environments and required additional emotional support. Two of the participants from Canada and the United Kingdom experienced a cultural barrier of fitting in. My findings indicate that the pandemic workplaces affected the dispersion of the nursing workforce and widened gaps in the nurse supply. Along with this, they will explain the transferability of skills they have and their adaptations to the United States healthcare. My findings lead to a discussion regarding how their experiences has impacted the nurses' career trajectory resolutions. Future studies about the nurse burnout and rise of travel nurses during COVID-19 are needed to be studied long-term effects of this specific profession.Item Household Wealth and Entrepreneurial Career Choices: Evidence from Climate Disasters(Salem Center, 2022-01-05) Cen, XiaoItem Letter to H.B.

Studies of CUREs have shown that participating students achieve many of the same outcomes as students who complete research internships. However, CUREs vary widely in their design and implementation, and aspects of CUREs that are necessary and sufficient to achieve desired student outcomes have not been elucidated. To guide future research aimed at understanding the causal mechanisms underlying CURE efficacy, we used a systems approach to generate pathway models representing hypotheses of how CURE outcomes are achieved. We started by reviewing studies of CUREs and research internships to generate a comprehensive set of outcomes of research experiences, determining the level of evidence supporting each outcome. We then used this body of research and drew from learning theory to hypothesize connections between what students do during CUREs and the outcomes that have the best empirical support. We offer these models as hypotheses for the CURE community to test, revise, elaborate, or refute. We also cite instruments that are ready to use in CURE assessment and note gaps for which instruments need to be developed.Item Preparation for Business at the University of Texas(University of Texas at Austin, 1953-05-15) The University of Texas
