"J’ai jamais voulu être infirmière. Je voulais pas avoir une blouse, être dans un hôpital, faire des prises de sang. Je trouvais ça vraiment crétin comme métier!" Rien ne semblait prédisposer Madame Maceira à devenir infirmière. Voilà pourtant 15 ans qu’elle exerce cette profession avec passion en psychiatrie. Mais sans blouse, sans faire de prises de sang, et loin de l’hôpital. Elle n’est donc pas une infirmière comme les autres. Mais qui sont donc ces autres infirmières? Existe-t-il une infirmière type? Est-ce nécessairement une femme qui, touchée par une vocation précoce, exerce dans un hôpital au chevet des patients? En répondant à ces questions, les auteurs dressent un portrait totalement inédit de la profession qui rompt avec son apparente homogénéité. S’appuyant sur plusieurs dizaines d’entretiens et près de 3000 questionnaires, ils révèlent l’existence d’un espace infirmier fortement différencié et hiérarchisé, dans lequel les différents points de vue professionnels sont étroitement liés aux positions occupées. À l’heure où la profession se trouve confrontée à des enjeux majeurs (pénurie de personnel, vieillissement de la population, rationalisation des soins, académisation des formations et développement de la recherche), ce livre constitue un outil de compréhension précieux pour tous les professionnels de santé et les étudiants. En mobilisant la théorie des champs de Pierre Bourdieu, il contribue plus largement au renouvellement de l’analyse sociologique des professions.

KINDERGARTEN TEACHERS HAVE THE AWESOME JOB of instructing young children, between the ages of five and six, during their first year of school. This is the most important year in a student's life as they are building the foundation needed for future education. It is also the most challenging level to teach. Welcome to the world of finger paints, storybooks, play-acting, and circle time. Welcome to the Big K!Kindergarten teachers prepare students for higher grades by providing instruction in basic subjects. The children may start with little or no knowledge at all of letters and numbers. By the time they move up to first grade, they will be able to read, write, and perform simple calculations among other things. This intellectual growth occurs through play and hands-on learning. A typical classroom may look like an indoor playground, but each activity is carefully structured to convey a lesson.Academics aside, there is much more to teaching kindergarten than singing songs and reciting the ABCs. Kindergarten teachers are also responsible for teaching social skills and personal hygiene. At this age, children are unaware of the many rules surrounding social interaction within a group dynamic. They must learn how to take turns, raise their hands before speaking, line up, and put things away. They may also need help with tying shoes, buttoning coats, or blowing their nose. It is safe to say that kindergarten teachers are the most important educators a child will ever have. It takes special knowledge and skills to impart lifelong learning skills to young children. Kindergarten teachers must have at least a bachelor's degree. The most common major is early childhood education, though there are other possibilities. A teacher preparation program, which is essentially an internship with specialized training, is also required. This is usually completed during undergraduate study. After graduation, public school teachers must pass an exam and obtain a state-issued certification or license before working in a classroom. Many private schools do not require a license.New kindergarten teachers may find it challenging to land their first job. Job openings normally occur once a year and are usually filled in spring for the following fall session. It takes careful planning and patience, but kindergarten teachers with the right combination of training, references, and enthusiasm will find that they are needed in both public and private schools.The pay is lower compared to other professions with comparable educational requirements. Most salaries range from $50,000 to $70,000 a year. It looks a little better when considering teachers are off duty for two months in the summer, three weeks in the winter, and one or two weeks in the spring. The benefits are also good, with exceptional health coverage and retirement plans. Clearly, kindergarten teachers do not enter this career for the money. They do it because they love children and are passionate about education and helping their young charges get off to the best possible start in their academic lives.

This book explores in depth the significance of soft skills within engineering education and the profession of engineering and emphasizes the importance of integrating hard and soft skills effectively, thereby enhancing personal acumen. Among the most important soft skills are ability to communicate, courtesy, creativity, empaty, flexibility, integrity, positivity, problem solving, professionalism, resourcefulness, responsibility, a strong work ethic, and ability to work within a team. While hard skills are related to the left side of the brain and are linked to the intelligence quotient (IQ), soft skills are related to the right side of the brain and are linked to the emotional quotient (EQ). A person who fuses hard and soft skills successfully will be able to upgrade their professional behavior and become a difference maker (DM). Soft skills are of central importance in the context of Engineering 4.0, the new phase of engineering, and in Engineering 4.0 education, and this is the central focus of the book. The presented examples of the role of soft skills will also enable readers to self-evaluate, to identify those skills that require improvement, and ultimately to enhance their performance.
