Nursing in New Brunswick: Beal University’s Hybrid BScN Program Offers a Time-Smart Path to Nursing

Beal University

“I am not able to put my life on hold for four years,” said Caroline, who has a dream of becoming a nurse. “I want to pursue nursing, but getting a BScN degree has to be something that can fit in with my work and family responsibilities.” This is a common sentiment among people who want to become nurses. Whether they are changing careers or starting a new one, individuals need to understand the amount of time and financial resources required to achieve their goals. Time is money. The popular saying “time is money” is often attributed to Benjamin Franklin and is commonly used to encourage people to value their time and avoid wasting it, as wasted time equals wasted income opportunity. In nursing, every minute counts – the same holds true in choosing the right nursing classes, building your career, and pursuing your goals. Embarking on a nursing education journey is a significant investment of both time and money. For aspiring nurses who are considering their options, a simple cost analysis can provide clarity on the best choice of nursing classes for their needs. In this regard, let us compare the costs between two equally priced post-secondary university nursing programs that yield a similar end: a BScN that prepares a student to write the NCLEX RN exam to become a registered nurse. The first is a conventional 4-year program that requires full-time relocation to the campus, common among universities in Canada. The second is an accelerated, online, hybrid program, like the 30-month BScN nursing program offered by Beal University Canada. By examining factors such as tuition, living expenses, travel expenses, and opportunity costs, we can provide insights into which nursing classes might provide you with the best return on investment. The 30-month BScN Program at Beal University Canada (BUC) BUC’s Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BScN) Program is designed to provide students with a top-tier education that helps them transition from “learning” to “earning” quickly. It has received preliminary approval from the Nurses Association of New Brunswick (NANB). This BScN has a unique blend of online and on-campus learning that sets it apart. In the first 12 months, students attend virtual classes which are delivered entirely online. This approach fosters flexibility and enables students to adapt to the digital immersion of modern education. However, BUC also recognizes the immense value of hands-on experience. In the next 18 months (about 1 and a half years), the BScN program smoothly transitions to a combination of online and on-campus learning, with on-site labs, innovative simulation, and virtual reality experiences at BUC’s campus in Sackville, New Brunswick, and adds clinical placements at local medical hospitals and facilities. 4 Years vs. 30-months The length of the nursing programs, 4 years vs. 30 months (about 2 and a half years), indicates a disparity in expenses associated with housing, meals, and transportation. Completing the BScN program in a shorter duration enables students to enter the workforce earlier, begin earning a nursing salary sooner, and reduce overall costs. This early entry into the workforce provides graduates of the 30-month BScN program with the opportunity to recover their educational investment faster, potentially accumulate savings, or begin repaying student loans earlier than those completing the longer program. The Impact on One’s Ability to Maintain Income. When choosing a nursing program, it is important to consider the impact nursing classes will have on a student’s ability to maintain a job while studying. Students who are already employed usually must decide if they can keep working while pursuing their education. In a traditional 48-month program that requires full-time relocation to campus, it can be difficult for students to work full-time due to the demanding nature of the program. The need to attend nursing classes, labs, clinical rotations, and study on campus can limit employment opportunities outside of school. However, an accelerated, online, or hybrid BScN program offers more flexibility, especially during the first 12 months of study. With the ability to complete coursework from home on a flexible schedule, students may have more opportunities to work part-time or pursue other income-generating activities while completing their nursing classes. However, during the program’s latter 18 months (about 1 and a half years), when students must attend in-person nursing classes and regular clinical placements, they may have limited ability to work. A Smart Way to Supercharge Your Nursing Future If you are looking for a career that can have a significant impact on people’s lives, nursing is an excellent option. It provides job stability and a fulfilling future, with daily opportunities to make a direct and life-altering difference in people’s lives. Beal University Canada (BUC) is committed to nursing excellence and offers the relevant, up-to-date skills that employers are looking for in the nursing industry. They recognize the vital role nurses play in the healthcare system and actively support your growth and development. In considering your nursing education, it is essential to weigh the investment of time and money against potential returns. Comparing a traditional four-year program to an accelerated 30-month BScN program highlights the importance of efficiency and flexibility in achieving your educational and career goals. A shorter BScN program not only reduces expenses associated with housing and living but also allows for earlier entry into the workforce. This could lead to quicker returns on investment and enhance career opportunities. Additionally, the online components of the accelerated program are flexible and can better accommodate students’ existing work and family commitments, providing a more balanced approach to education and income generation.

Are You Trading Or Considering Trading Limited-Risk Contracts? Consider The New And Improved CME Event Contracts

EdgeClear

By Meg Flippin, Benzinga Will the S&P 500 trade up or down today? What about the price of gold? Expect it to close higher by the end of the trading session, or think the Nasdaq will end the year lower than where it started? If you are considering trading limited-risk contracts, there’s a new way to do it thanks to the launch of the overhauled CME event contracts. Event contracts offered by CME Group, the Chicago company that operates financial derivatives exchanges including the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, Chicago Board of Trade, New York Mercantile Exchange and the Commodity Exchange, provide investors with a straightforward way to invest in some of the leading futures markets around the world. Through these event contracts, investors can predict and trade on whether the price of futures markets will settle above or below a selected price. Not only do event contracts from CME give investors an easy way to play the futures markets, but they can be held for different periods and are easy to exit. Currently, events contracts have daily, quarterly and yearly expirations, depending on which product you are investing in. The contracts expire at the settlement time of each market, but investors can exit their positions at any time before the market closes. EdgeClear’s Edge Investors can choose CME event contracts for the S&P 500, Nasdaq-100, Russell 2000, Dow Jones Industrial Average, WTI crude oil, natural gas, gold, silver, copper and EUR/USD. These event contracts are only available through a select group of brokerages including EdgeClear, the trading firm that has made a name for itself thanks to its knowledgeable and highly motivated team that has years of technical and practical trading experience. With EdgeClear, the company says you get practical investing solutions that are not only innovative but cost-effective. Getting information and access to CME event contracts is made easy at EdgeClear. Clients can either get the details from their personal EdgeClear broker or fill out an information request form and a personal broker will be assigned to them. See how easy it is to trade CME event contracts with EdgeClear here. CME Overhauls Its Event Contracts In late January, CME launched event contracts with quarter and year-end expirations for E-mini S&P 500 and E-mini Nasdaq-100 futures, expanding its offering, which EdgeClear is now giving its customers access to. “Event contracts on E-mini S&P 500 and E-mini Nasdaq-100 futures are among the most highly traded of our event product suite, representing 33% and 20% of the volume, respectively,” said Tim McCourt, Global Head of Financial and OTC Products at CME Group, when announcing the improved offering. “These new contracts featuring longer expiries at quarter- and year-end will give traders a way to express their views on market direction at key economic-cycle intervals—with the added benefit of more opportunities to trade in and out of a position leading up to expiry. We’re pleased that our expanded suite of event contracts will continue to provide innovative, lower-cost tools for participating in CME Group's futures markets.” With CME’s event contract overhaul the maximum payout for event contracts is $100. How Event Contracts Work Here’s a brief summary of how it works – investors choose an event contract in stock indexes, energy, metals or foreign currencies. Investors then select yes or no based on their view of whether the event will happen. The price you pay per contract is the most you can lose or earn per trade, excluding any fees and commissions. The potential profit of a trade ranges from $1 to $100. Let’s say you believe the price of gold will settle above $2,100 for the day. You select at that contract price, and based on the current market the trade costs you $51 plus fees. If gold ends up over $2,100, you receive $100, making a $49 profit on your trade less fees. CME event contracts give investors an easy way to test their views on the global market’s daily, quarterly and yearly settlements. Through these contracts, investors have a way to express their opinions on the markets and potentially make money along the way while clearly defining their risk. Are you intrigued yet?

Report Reveals Alarming Number of Infants & Toddlers Experiencing Homelessness in the U.S.

SchoolHouse Connection

Washington, DC, March 20, 2024 | Today, national non-profit SchoolHouse Connection releases "Infant and Toddler Homelessness Across 50 States: 2021-2022," the most comprehensive analysis to date of homelessness among the nation's youngest children. This report offers the first-ever state-by-state collection of data on infant and toddler homelessness and provides detailed recommendations for policymakers and communities alike. “For the first time, we are able to shine a light on the extent of homelessness among infants and toddlers in all 50 states, as well as the gaps in their access to early childhood development programs," said Barbara Duffield, Executive Director of SchoolHouse Connection. "We urge practitioners and policymakers alike to dig into these data and take action, so that we can prevent long-term harm and interrupt cycles of homelessness that may start at the very beginning of life.” Drawing on an extensive analysis of federal and other available data, the report estimates that nearly 365,000 infants and toddlers experienced homelessness during the 2021-2022 program year across the United States. Alarmingly, the report found that only 11% of these children were enrolled in early childhood development programs, with enrollment rates varying significantly by state. "Early childhood development programs offer a wide range of support for infants, toddlers, and families who are homeless, from essential supplies like diapers and hygiene products, to services that counter the impact of homelessness on child development," said Erin Patterson, Director of Education Initiatives of SchoolHouse Connection. "These programs also facilitate vital connections to both short- and long-term housing solutions. We must redouble our efforts to ensure that every expectant parent, infant, and toddler experiencing homelessness receives access to these essential services." The report concludes with a call to action, offering targeted recommendations for state and federal policymakers to increase the identification of homeless families with infants and toddlers and to improve their access to critical early childhood development services and housing supports. The report also includes practical strategies for early childhood development programs that can be implemented immediately. A link to the report, including methodology, can be found here. About SchoolHouse Connection SchoolHouse Connection is a national non-profit organization working to overcome homelessness through education. We provide strategic advocacy and practical assistance in partnership with schools, early childhood programs, institutions of higher education, service providers, families, and youth. Our vision is that children and youth experiencing homelessness have full access to quality learning, birth through higher education, so they will never be homeless as adults, and the next generation will never be homeless.

Atlas Lithium (NASDAQ: ATLX): The Under-The-Radar Company Partnered With Suppliers To The Largest EV Makers Globally

Benzinga

By Faith Ashmore, Benzinga As the globe races to reduce carbon emissions, the electric vehicles (EVs) industry is witnessing a boom. The global EV market was valued at $388.1 billion in 2023 and is expected to reach $951.9 billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 13.7% from 2023-2030. Unsurprisingly, lithium-ion batteries, the biggest battery chemistry that supplies EVs, are also experiencing growth. However, with the demand for these industries growing, experts are increasingly concerned over supply chain risks. In 2021, Australia had the highest lithium mine production in the world; however, Chile, China, Argentina and Brazil are also major contributors to global lithium production. With the increasing global demand for lithium, the development of new lithium projects in regions with large reserves is crucial for meeting the growing needs of the electric vehicle and renewable energy industries. For many investors, Brazil’s lithium valley is shaping up to be a promising target in the coming years, given that Brazil holds the fifth-largest lithium reserves in the world. Atlas Lithium: The Little-Known Company With Global Partnerships One company looking to capitalize on Brazil’s Lithium Valley – which holds an estimated 85% of the country’s reserves – is Atlas Lithium (NASDAQ: ATLX). With a focus on sustainable mining practices, Atlas Lithium aims to develop and produce high-quality lithium resources to meet the increasing demand for lithium-ion batteries in various industries, such as electric vehicles and renewable energy storage systems. Atlas Lithium's flagship project is the Neves lithium project in the state of Minas Gerais. The company reports that the project encompasses a significant lithium resource and has the potential to become a major lithium producer. Atlas Lithium also reports that it stands out in the Brazilian lithium market as the sole company with binding off-take agreements already lined up for its lithium concentrate. Through strategic global partnerships, the company has secured off-take agreements with Chengxin and Yahua; Yahua is a lithium chemical supplier to Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA), while Chengxin supplies Chinese EV giant BYD (OTCPK: BYDDY) which is the largest EV maker in the world. These agreements guarantee the sale of 80% of Atlas Lithium's Phase 1 production capacity, and provide Atlas Lithium with $50 million to fully fund its production expected to commence in Q4 2024. Future Plans And Competitive Standing Atlas Lithium has set ambitious targets for the upcoming months as it works towards becoming a leading producer of high-quality and ethically sourced lithium resources. Over the next 3-6 months, Atlas Lithium intends to complete a Definitive Feasibility Study for its Neves Project. The company expects to achieve a major milestone in the production of its first lithium concentrate within 6-9 months. Achieving these targets could set the company up to be a leader in the Brazilian market and a competitor to companies like Sigma Lithium Corporation (NASDAQ: SGML). The company also distinguishes itself from its peers with its low capital expenditure (CAPEX) to production. Through the utilization of modular plant technology, the company reports that it has managed to maintain a low CAPEX to production of just $49.5 million. According to Atlas Lithium, this figure represents only a fraction of what other companies within the sector typically invest. Although it has yet to achieve widespread recognition, Atlas Lithium boasts a wealth of compelling attributes that could position it for growth and success. The company's partnerships, low capital expenditure and high-quality product, backed by thorough metallurgical studies, are all key advantages. As the electric vehicle market continues to expand, the demand for lithium continues to grow. Atlas Lithium seems poised to emerge as a major supplier of this crucial resource.

Generation Uranium to Begin Exploration Program On Its 100% Wholly Owned Yath Project in Nunavut, Canada

Generation Uranium Inc

Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, March 19th, 2024 – Generation Uranium Inc. (the “Company” or “Generation”), (TSXV: GEN) is pleased to announce that an inaugural exploration program will begin on its 85km², 8,500-ha property located in the Thelon Basin in Nunavut, Canada. Due to strong historical sampling and anticipated long-term elevated world spot uranium pricing due to favorable supply and demand dynamics, the Company anticipates that it will expend a significant amount of its capital resources into the basin in 2024.     Generation’s Yath Project (“Yath”) is located in the Thelon Basin mining jurisdiction that exhibits strategic land positioning and situated along trend from the 43 million lbs Lac 50 uranium deposit being advanced by Latitude Uranium, currently being acquired by ATHA Energy Corp. for an all-share acquisition valued at $64.7M CAD. Management believes Yath covers a possible western extension of the LAC 50 trend and associated commercialization potential. Historical grades at Yath conducted by Pan Ocean Oil Ltd. in the 1980’s highlight the known uranium and secondary mineralization of the property. In 1981, sample Bog-8-80 DDH revealed a promising intersection, assaying 1m at 0.224% U3O8 from 25.5m, with chip samples registering 6.7% U3O8 and 0.7 ounces per ton of Ag. Additional sampling from granoblastic Gneiss in 1982 (sample MM-276) in the heart of the Yath Claim returned including 14,000 CPS, 9.81% U3O8, and 3.7 ounces per ton of Ag.   Additionally, field samples conducted by Kivalliq Energy Corp. between 2012-2014 discovered U3O8 values ranging from 1% to 10%, with a confluence of faults and basin unconformity cover. High-grade samples localized along regional faults were observed coinciding with a VGR trend identified in a seismic line from 2012. These findings validate results from the 1970s, indicating significant potential for uranium mineralization in the zone.     With high-grade historic results and extensive historical work, the Company is anticipated to resume additional field exploration in the coming weeks at Yath to better decipher the near-term drill target potential of known uranium mineralization. Generation believes in the untapped potential at Yath, as adequate diamond drilling was never conducted as a consequence of the downturn in uranium prices subsequent to the Fukushima nuclear incident.   Generation would also like to announce a new Website and Corporate Presentation. The new website can be viewed at Generation Uranium: Leading the Future of Clean Energy with Uranium Exploration.

Basketball Forever Secures $4 Million in Series A Funding on Heels of North American Launch

Basketball Forever

Basketball Forever, one of the fastest growing and most engaged independent sports content brands in the world, announced a Series A funding totaling over $4 million USD. The round was led by Yolo Investments and also included Astralis Capital Management, Andover Ventures, Seth Young of FSG Digital and GMA Consulting, former Pinnacle Sports CEO and current betting and gaming advisor Paris Smith, David Sargeant of iGaming Ideas, Chris Grove of Acies Investments and Benjie Cherniak of Avenue H Capital. Having recently established a North American office, Basketball Forever plans to use the funds to accelerate growth by increasing its efforts to acquire a bigger audience in the region, expand into other verticals beyond basketball and deepen its roster of free and real money games. “This investment from so many leaders and well-respected voices in the sports betting and gaming space is illuminating,” said Alex Sumsky, CEO and co-founder of Forever Network. “It shows that not only is Basketball Network going down the path of profitability as a media company, but that expanding into sports betting and daily fantasy is the right move. Gamifying the sport media experience is the future. This capital will help us explore that vertical more, grow our North American staff and invest time in making our user experience the best on the market.” Since it operates each game, Basketball Forever can seamlessly weave marketing collateral and calls to action into content across its website and social media, offering an unappareled second screen offering. This creates a genuine experience for its users, helping establish a community that continuously comes back for more. This was proved during NBA All-Star Weekend when Basketball Forever launched its first North American focused game Hot Hands, a live action, free-to-play bingo-style game. The game saw more than 10,000 users claim more than 35,000 squares on the first offering of the game. Basketball Forever’s stable of games also includes free-to-play games V.O.A.T. and Streaker, with real-money versions of the games on the horizon. “It’s impossible to ignore what Basketball Forever has done to build a massively engaged audience,” said Tim Heath, Founder and General Partner at Yolo Investments. “Their ability to then create a bridge between its users and the games it creates is invaluable. We feel like Basketball Forever’s continued venture into sports betting in the North American market will establish them as not just leaders in the space, but as a model for other media companies to follow for years to come.” Founded in 2015, Basketball Forever is a digital media platform creating news and content on the global basketball market. For more than a decade, the company has built its brand organically from Australia, amassing a monthly global audience of more than 110 million unique visitors. According to Comscore’s Shareablee score, Basketball Forever is the most engaged sports publisher amongst millennials. Previously, all of its partners, sponsors and development efforts focused on the Australian market, even though the platform reaches 45 million unique visitors per month from the United States alone. In 2023, the company drew 4 billion impressions across all its social channels. ABOUT BASKETBALL FOREVER Basketball Forever was founded in 2015 with a mission to celebrate the game and embrace its ability to unite people from all over the world. The brand reaches millions globally as the best source of breaking news, commentary, rumors, and culture through a uniquely social-first approach, bringing the best content to the consumer and removing the barriers between the creative and the consumer.
