CASE 
Debbie’s Dilemma

Debbie Vestica decided to look for a new job on a day that should have been filled with joy. She had just completed a master’s degreein nursing and had been given a substantial increase in pay, along with new benefits. Other factors, however, greatly diminished thereward she had just received.

Debbie began working as a nurse in a local pediatric physician’s medical group. Three doctors and three nurses made up the medicalstaff. Two of the nurses completed training at the licensed practical nurse (LPN) level, while Debbie held the rank of registered nurse(RN). Due to this difference in educational attainment, Debbie was expected to supervise the other two nurses. The problem she facedwas that the two nurses often treated her more as a peer, or even as a subordinate, rather than as a supervisor.

To complicate matters, the two LPNs had been on staff for four and five years, respectively, while Debbie had only been employed bythe organization for two years. Still, when hired, she was told to assume a supervisory role. At first, Debbie chose not to confront thetwo more experienced nurses, hoping that over time she would be able to manage them more effectively by not trying to use forcefulor directive tactics.

One year later, Debbie discovered that although her pay was slightly above average for RNs in the area, her pay differential with theLPNs was only $3 per hour. She earned $30 per hour ($60,000 per year), whereas the LPNs earned $27 per hour ($54,000 per year).Their pay ranked them above nearly all LPNs in the state. Given the additional duties she was expected to complete, Debbie found thepay differential to be unsatisfactory.

After two years on the job, Debbie began a master’s program designed to achieve the designation of clinical nurse specialist with anemphasis in children’s health. She devoted considerable time and money to obtaining the degree, although the physician’s group didcontribute 50% of her tuition and book costs.

On graduation day, Debbie met with the three physicians. They all generously praised her efforts and promised her a new status levelthat included having her own office in the complex. They also granted her a raise of $7 per hour, raising her annual salary to $74,000, inreturn for additional duties and responsibilities.

The turning point occurred when Debbie overheard the two LPNs talking in the office break room. Upon finding out about Debbie’s newpay raise and status, the LPNs confronted the three physicians, demanding an additional increase in pay as well. Sensing a majorconfrontation, the physicians had decided to raise the pay of the two by $5 per hour, to $32 per hour or $64,000 per year. That amountwas higher than what Debbie had earned as an RN and as an RN attending graduate school. Believing that she would never receive theproper pay differential that she deserved in this practice, Debbie decided it was time to seek employment elsewhere.

Pls let me know the cost.  Ty

Primary Task Response: Within the Discussion Board area, write 400–600 words that respond to the following questions with your thoughts, ideas, and comments. This will be the foundation for future discussions by your classmates. Be substantive and clear, and use examples to reinforce your ideas.

In the past decade, the human resources (HR) function gained strategic positioning within organizations as the need for professional competencies in managing human talent became recognized. Within the field of HR, disciplines, also called specialties, provide critical skills to the organization. These disciplines or specialties include training and development, recruiting, compensation, benefits, labor relations, employee and organizational development, and so forth.

For this assignment, you will need to identify an HR discipline that interests you or closely aligns with your current or future career goals. For example, you may already be working in training and development, that discipline may align with your future career goals, or you may be in management and want to learn more about the recruiting process because you are involved with hiring new candidates. After you have identified your HR discipline of interest, you will need to explore and describe your chosen discipline in your Discussion Board response.

To learn more about where to explore and research your chosen discipline, watch this tutorial.

Now that you have watched the tutorial, you should have a better idea about how to research career fields within HR that are of interest to you. Below you will find links (some require a paid membership, which is not a class requirement) that will further define the parameters of certain HR specialties. The following links are optional; however, they are excellent resources, so consider using them to help answer the course questions:

• Careeronestop
• Society for Human Resource Management
• Benefits
• Business leadership and strategy
• Compensation
• Consulting
• Diversity
• Employee relations
• Ethics and corporate social responsibility
• Global HR
• Labor relations
• Organizational and employee development
• Recruiting and staffing management

Now that you have learned more about your chosen discipline, respond to the following set of questions that best applies to you. You only need to respond to 1 set of questions, as follows:

• Currently Working in Your Chosen Discipline
  • What is one new thing that you learned by researching this area?
  • Describe what you do at your current position that matches the information that you found?
  • What is something that you do at your current position that you did not discover during your research that you feel would be beneficial to share with your classmates?
• Chosen Discipline is Your Future Career Goal
  • What did you learn from your exploration that you did not know before?
  • After your research, is this still an area that interests you? Why or why not?
  • After learning more about this field, do you feel that you have the skills and experience that are required for this field? Why or why not?
• Currently Working in a Field Outside of HR or Planning to Pursue a Field Outside of HR
  • What did you discover from your exploration?
  • Has learning about this discipline changed how you view your current or future career? Why or why not?
  • What is something that you learned from your exploration that can be applied to your current or future career?
