IHP 501 Discussion Group 1
I never do like these introduction's it reminds me of having to write the paper about what
you did over the summer when in school. Being a very private person based on what I do for
volunteer work requires the utmost confidentiality Becoming a nurse in 1997. Upon graduated
from nursing school in Laconia, New Hampshire, as an LPN. A career was consisting of
everything from forensic psychiatric correctional nursing to hospice. At 54 years old, initially
one of the most senior people in the classes. Choosing to become volunteer guardian ad litem
working with abused and neglected children in the juvenile system and choosing cases an hour
from home to not run into anyone from a case out grocery shopping going to dinner. That way
less likely to run into angry parents or foster children out and about. Simultaneously, taking
classes to become a volunteer guardian ad litem, a hospice volunteer for two different
organizations. After being in court one day for one of my cases, becoming inspired to become a
child rights attorney, receiving an undergraduate degree from Southern New Hampshire
University paralegal/legal research/advocacy in 26 months. I was planning on and still am
planning on going to law school. So, how am I in the graduate program for Health Care
Administration? This program will allow utilizing all the skills that I have acquired over a
lifetime. Being a nurse and applying all that experience both of the master's degree and a law
degree will help people advocate. Spare time, being a full-time graduate student, leaves little
time for extracurricular activities. Enjoy going to museums and other cultural events--lots of
volunteer work. Missing volunteering as guardian ad litem. Well, that is enough about me.

Sweden Healthcare System
According to Holtz, C. (2017), the Swedish healthcare system's goal is for the entire
population to have equal access to good quality health care, which is mainly funded by the
Swedish government and provided to all citizens based on individual needs. The government
health welfare system does include health and medical care, care of the elderly, pharmaceutical
care, psychiatric care, and dental care (Government of Sweden, 2014). Sweden's healthcare
system is organized by national, regional, and local levels. At the national level, the Ministry of
Health and Social Affairs does establish principles and clear guidelines for care and sets the
political agenda for health and medical care. The ministry, along with other government
agencies, ensures activity supervision at the lower levels, distributes grants, and periodically
conducts services evaluation to ensure correspondence and compliance with national goals. At
the regional level, responsibility for financing and providing healthcare is decentralized to the
county councils. The county council
