Requirements to Become a Health Care Inspector
Learn about the education and preparation needed to become a health care inspector. Get a quick view of the requirements as well as details about degree programs, job duties and licensing to find out if this is the career for you.
Essential Information
Health care inspectors, also known as health facilities surveyors and medical facilities inspectors, perform inspections for the licensing and certification of health care facilities. These can include nursing care centers, hospitals and mental health facilities. Inspectors ensure that adequate health care is being provided and determine whether the institution is in compliance with state and federal regulations. Requirements for becoming a health care inspector vary from state to state, but they may include a bachelor's degree, licensing and work experience.
|Required Education
|Bachelor's degree

Step 1: Earn a Bachelor's Degree
Depending on the state, one can earn a bachelor's degree in nursing, social work or some other health-related field, such as medical technology, chemistry, physical science or biology. A degree in human services may also be an option, as well as public health, environmental health, health care administration, clinical nutrition and institutional management. A bachelor's degree can be obtained from a state or private university. The type of medical facility can also determine the type of degree required. For example, inspection of nursing care facilities may require a degree in nursing, while a social work degree may be needed to inspect mental health institutions. Again, qualifications vary, so understanding the hiring requirements for your prospective state of employment is essential.
Step 2: Obtain Appropriate Licensing
A number of states require licensing following graduation to be hired as a medical facilities inspector. Nursing graduates commonly need to gain licensing as a practicing nurse. The National Council of State Boards of Nursing administers the National Council Licensure Examination for Registered Nurses and the National Council Licensure Examination for Practical Nurses. These exams test nurses' knowledge, skills and competence in the field.
Some states may call for social work graduates to be licensed before employment as a health care inspector. The type of licensing may depend on whether one has an undergraduate or graduate degree. Various certifications or registrations may be essential as well for potential employees with a degree in a health-related field other than nursing.
Step 3: Gain Pertinent Work Experience
Some states require work experience; the amount of time varies. This experience should be appropriate for the type of facility one hopes to inspect, such as working in a nursing home, hospital or mental health facility. In some states, work experience may replace certain educational requirements.
Step 4: View the Job
While the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics doesn't provide information specifically for health care inspectors, the closely related field of occupational health and safety specialists was projected to see employment growth of 7% from 2012-2022. The mean annual wages of these workers in general medical and surgical hospitals were $66,880 in May 2013.

Second-term multilateral challenges
- By David BoscoDavid Bosco is a Foreign Policy contributing editor and assistant professor at American University's School of International Service. He is at work on a book about the International Criminal Court's first decade.
The Obama administration has a host of challenges waiting for it in the realm of multilateral diplomacy. Some of them have been building for years, others the administration quite deliberately kicked down the road in hopes of a less fraught political climate. Here's a partial list:
The Arms Trade Treaty: In July, negotiations on a treaty to provide standards for arms shipments across borders foundered at the last minute, in large part because the Obama administration didn't want the treaty to become a campaign issue. The process is still alive at the United Nations, however, and British foreign minister William Hague (a key supporter) indicated just hours after the president's reelection that his government will make it a priority. The Obama team appears inclined to support the draft treaty text, and a UN committee just called for new negotiations in March. Whether the administration could get any final treaty through even a more friendly U.S. Senate is uncertain however.
Palestinian statehood: The Palestinians have made clear their intention to push for a new status at the United Nations: recognition as a non-member observer state. In contrast to full UN membership, this change in status can be accomplished through the General Assembly (where the Palestinians are all but assured of broad suport). The Palestinians agreed to defer their diplomatic push until after the U.S. election, but it seems likely to come to a head in the next few months. According to this report, Palestinian representatives will make the case to EU officials next week that the time has come for the UN to recognize Palestinian statehood. Even with the U.S. election done, the issue promises to be nettlesome for the administration; Congress may seek to cut U.S. funding to the United Nations if the Palestinian bid succeeds.
The Law of the Sea Convention: Earlier this year, the U.S. Senate came close to finally ratifying this treaty, which enjoys support in even some conservative circles. Massachusetts SenatorJohn Kerry–a strong contender for second-term Secretary of State–led the fight for ratification and likely will push the issue again from wherever he sits. He told an audience in Texas last week that the treaty "is about whether America will continue to lead the world or be left behind, less prosperous in our own land and less secure abroad." The Senate's new composition means that the convention stands a good chance of passing.
Quota Reform at the International Monetary Fund: in 2010, the IMF's members approved what was hailed as a groundbreaking reform of its quota and governance system. The reform package shifted some weight from advanced economies to the major emerging economies and to certain developing world states. But there's a hitch: the measure requires the formal approval of a supermajority of IMF shareholders, and the United States has not yet moved on the issue. Fearful of Congressional opposition, the Obama administration never advanced the necessary legislation on Capitol Hill. The U.S. hesitation hasn't affected IMF finances or operations yet, but it is keeping the vaunted reform package from coming into effect.
UN Security Council reform: The first Obama administration made little headway on this perennial global governance issue, but some in the administration might want to take a crack at it in the second term. The composition of the Security Council is an irritant to most states, and there is a broad consensus that its membership is anachronistic. In some respects, the United States is content to leave well enough alone, since it benefits from that outdated structure. But if administration officials calculate that reform will happen eventually, the United States may have an interest in shaping the process that produces reform.
In late 2010, President Obama endorsed India's candidacy for a permanent seat, but the administration did little on the issue since then (and the performance of some emerging powers as elected Council members dulled any appetite in the administration). I expect that there will be an active debate in the second Obama administration about where to go on this issue.
The Doha Round: The latest round of international trade talks has been on life support for years now, and the administration will need to consider whether and how to revive it. There are hints of movement in recent talks, and the level of U.S. engagement will help determine whether they amount to anything. If, as some predict, the administration does tack toward increased compromise with Congressional Republicans, a more robust international trade agenda may be one way to build goodwill.
The International Criminal Court: Despite a very different ideological starting point, the first Obama administration didn't depart radically from where the second Bush administration ended up on this issue. The United States has indicated that it will support the ICC's work when it serves the national interest but that it has no intention of joining the court. A move to join the court, which would require Senate ratification, appears highly unlikely (for more on that see this post by Mark Kersten); the current U.S. posture allows Washington to support international justice á la carte–without exposing U.S. officials more than they already are to the court's jurisdiction.
Even assuming that full membership is off the table, the administration will face important questions about how assertively to back the ICC. An array of individuals indicted by the court still walk free (including Joseph Kony, Bosco Ntaganda, and Sudanese president Omar al-Bashir), and some key voices in the administration would probably like to see U.S. power used more assertively to make the court's writ run.

German tennis legend Boris Becker, who is now the new coach of world No.2 Novak Djokovic, will reportedly not be present in his protegee's coaching entourage for the Miami Masters as he will undergo double hip surgery.
The three-time Wimbledon winner was due to join Djokovic's team for the hard court event but begged off last weekend as his Serbian client won the Indian Wells title over Roger Federer.
According to Sport24, confirming Becker's surgery, Djokovic said that the German is unable to travel for which he opted out of the tournament, although he hoped that his mentor would be back onside for the Monte Carlo tournament that starts in just over three weeks.
However, Djokovic admitted that in such situations, there is nothing much anyone can do anything about it, adding that the operation is a must for Becker as he has been carrying around this injury for many years.

OPM's new closure policies aim to clear up confusion
The Office of Personnel Management wants to ensure the confusion over the status of federal offices during Hurricane Sandy is not repeated for future natural or man-made events. OPM officially released the new language Tuesday and updated its dismissal and closure procedures by incorporating the lessons learned from last month's superstorm and last January's ice storm. The language tries to simplify and clarify what federal employees should during natural or man-made disasters. OPM also wants agencies to refocus their efforts on telework so as many employees are able to work during an emergency as possible.

With their ruggedness and seakindly characteristics as well as their attention to quality and fine appointments, the Crealock designed Pacific Seacraft yachts are regarded by many knowledgable cruising "experts" as the ultimate bluewater cruisers. The original Pacific Seacraft company received many public accolades including recognition (twice!) by Fortune magazine as among the products that "America does best."
The PS-40 is often regarded as the queen of the Pacific Seacraft fleet. LIBERTY, with her meticulous care and extensive upgrades, is a standout example of this premier Crealock/ Pacific Seacraft collaboration.

The Pacific Seacraft 40 maintains the form, function, and esthetic that has produced safe and attractive Pacific Seacraft sailboats since 1976. The hull shape has a moderate freeboard and graceful overhangs fore and aft. While the waterline and beam are proportionally larger than previous Pacific Seacraft - Crealock collaborations (translating into greater interior volume), the hull retains the sensible dimensions and proportions essential to upwind performance, directional stability, and the hydrostatics which effect ultimate stability. The keel is a long fin of external lead ballast bolted on and bedded in epoxy. This joint is extremely strong and resistant to impact with underwater objects. The difference between the shoal-draft and standard keels has been increased to take greater advantage of the respective characteristics of each. The combination of the keel plan, skeg-mounted rudder, deep hull sections below the waterline forward, and a carefully positioned rig plan all contribute to exceptional directional stability and handling. The interior maintains the function and form that feels comfortable and works. Passage through the cabin is straight and unimpeded. Visual space opens from the galley forward. An aft head is located for easy access from the companion way. The galley is configured to provide hands-free support on either tack.
On deck, a spacious foredeck with centerline king plank for footing features an extended bow platform and windlass boss. The headsail and staysail are equipped with roller furling. The double-spreader keel-stepped mast includes two self-tailing winches for halyards. The solid boom vang is self-cleating. All sail controls, including the main halyard and two sets of reef lines, are led aft to the cockpit through deck sheave organizers and rope clutches to self-tailing winches There is a special molded-in shearwater designed for dodger attachment. The mainsheet system includes a traveler forward of the companionway and a dedicated self-tailing winch. The primary winches for the headsail can be reached from the helm. The deck quickly sheds water through bulwark hawse pipes and through deck drains that exit at the waterline. The cockpit is self-bailing and includes safety harness padeyes. Pedestal steering with single-lever control and pod-mounted instruments provide fingertip control. Extensive mooring cleats simplify docking. The Pacific Seacraft 40's deck and cockpit take into account the importance of safety when anchoring, docking, maneuvering, and sailing.
Some of the specifications listed may not apply to this particular yacht.

Need advice on sizing a rear bicycle rack
I have a pannier and bicycle, and I need to mount the one to the other. The bike is a ~1985 Schwinn and the pannier is a Blackburn EX. I've tried a Blackburn MTN rack, but my heels bump the bag. Ideally it'd be about 4-6 inches further back and still level along the top (currently tilts slightly back). Do racks come in different sizes I need to know? Are there some bike/bag combos that don't work? Do people shorten their cranks instead of moving the bags? Is there some crucial measurement I should learn?

Making your own totobobo filters?
I live in a city with lots of traffic and air pollution, and I cycle to work in heavy traffic. I started wearing a Totobobo face mask while cycling to reduce the amount of gross stuff I'm forced to breathe during my commute. Thing is, those damn little filters look the same as a cotton pad, but they are 10-20x more expensive. Has anyone tried making/DIYing their own Totobobo filters? [more inside]

How do I learn about bicycle design?
Later this year I hope to head up to Portland's UBI to take a frame building class. That will teach me the process of tube selection, cutting, welding, etc. In the meantime I'd like to learn as much as possible about the actual design process of a bicycle. Angles, fit, different materials, etc. Maybe even laying out the design in CAD (which I have no experience in). Seems to me this exists in a realm somewhere between product design and industrial engineering. Can anyone recommend some resources?

Recommend an extra-large hybrid bike with an internal hub
I'm looking to purchase an extra-large hybrid bike with an internal hub. This would be for casual riding with my family, but ideally the bike is somewhat sporty for longer rides and something I can grow into. The bike will not be used for commuting. If the internal hub request makes this bike a unicorn, then recommend a good all-around hybrid.

Cyclist visiting Tucson this week. What should I check out?
I'm visiting family in Tucson the 24th - 30th and I'm flying my road bike in from San Francisco. I'm intending to get a lot of riding done while I'm there since I've signed up to participate in the Rapha Festive 500. I'm looking forward to doing some great riding including Mt. Lemon (I'll be staying up in the Oro Valley area). While I'm there I'd love to also tap into any cool cycle-culture type stuff the city of Tucson may have to offer. Are there any great cycle coffee shops? Brew pubs? LBS's with some actual community to them? Any group rides or cycle clubs that really embody the Tucson community. While I'll only have my roadie with me I'm also into fixed gear riding in SF. I don't know if that's a thing in Tucson, but would love to know of stuff in regards to that too. I know there is a strong senior cycle community out there, but for what it's worth I'm a 31 year old male. Thanks!
How to display 300+ GPX cycling routes over a Google Maps base layer
GPX Visualization on Google Maps: I have 300+ GPX files of bike rides that I'd like to be able to link to somehow over a Google Maps base layer, visually approximating this. This is related to my previous AskMe about cycling every road in a town; I need to visualize what roads I have/haven't ridden, and link that progress to a blog. Would like it to be as low-weight as possible; the 300 (uncompressed) GPX files amount to 100+mb currently (route+track+waypoints) and is only getting larger -- vanilla GMaps doesn't play nice with that many files.

Looking for a cheap cruiser bicycle, bike thieves should rot in hell.
Less than 3 months ago, I bought a Raleigh Retroglide cruiser bicycle from my local bike shop. I loved it; it was stolen from the train station last week. I want to replace it this weekend.

Help me tweak my bike fit and/or technique
I'm getting a bit of pain in my left knee when cycling recently, so I stuck my bike on the trainer and shot a couple of videos (side, front). I'm planning a trip to both the doctors and a professional bike fitting, but in the mean time (seeing as I still need to bike to work everyday), I was wondering if any of our cycling MeFites could take a look and see if there's anything obvious to fix? On a first look at the videos, it looks like I'm really stretching at the bottom of my pedal stroke (even though it totally doesn't feel like it on the bike) - should I lower my saddle and try to keep a more level foot? In case it's relevant, I'm interested in comfort and not at all interested in speed, so feel free to recommend stuff that will make me slower if you think it'll result in a more comfortable ride!

I don't know anything about bikes - can you help me sell one?
A couple of years back, spouse came across a bike frame and assorted bits at a tag sale and brought home the whole megillah. This is a bike frame, seat, gears, and probably some other things I know nothing about. It's sat in the attic, as we had grand thoughts of getting the other bits and having a very fancy bike, but, no. So now, we're clearing out various stuff in the attic. I would like to sell these bike parts, but again with the ignorance of bike culture. I'll put the whole shebang up on eBay for a rock bottom price and no reserve, but I don't know how to describe the bits or the condition of the bits. Can you tell me what I'm looking at, and what to check for? I'd be happy to give a real cyclist a fantastic deal, but I need some help. [more inside]

Our vision is to provide our students with educational programs that are diverse, inclusive, and pioneering while preparing them for the opportunities and demands of a global economy. Private charitable gifts from our alumni and friends bestow critical resources that help us achieve this vision. Gifts may be made outright in support of a program or project, or invested through an endowment managed by the WVU Foundation.
Endowments are created to support the long-term success of the College. Gifts received toward an endowment are invested by the WVU Foundation where they disburse annual income for the College while maintaining the corpus of the endowment into perpetuity.
Donors may designate their endowments to support a specific program or area within the College or remain unrestricted to meet the most critical needs of the College or of a Department. Donors may name a new endowment, and many choose to honor a loved one, recognize a favorite professor or create the endowment in their own name. The minimum contributions to establish an endowment are as follows:
*Supplements institutional base salary
** Raises to $50,000 January 2015
*** Raises to $25,000 January 2015
Outright gifts donated for the immediate use by the College are made through the University Fund. Alumni and friends are encouraged to participate every year through our annual funds drives and may designate their gifts for use by specific departments or programs. Contributions received through the College Fund are recognized through the College magazine, EngineeringWV, and elsewhere by the WVU Foundation. Special recognition is as follows:
Foundation Partners: This program honors alumni and friends who provide WVU with a solid base of ongoing support by contributing $1,000 or more each year. All gifts made during the fiscal year (July 1-June 30) are applied toward this recognition. While enhancing the academic environment for students, Foundation Partners inspire others to raise their own philanthropic sights.
Foundation Associates: This level of giving acknowledges donors who have made gifts of $100 or more for five consecutive years.
Your employer may sponsor a matching gift program that will match, double, or – in some instances – more than double your personal gift to College. Some companies also match gifts made by volunteers, spouses, retirees, or board members. To find out if your company has a matching gift policy, visit our website.
If eligible, please request and complete the matching gift form provided by your employer. You may be able to access the form directly through an online search tool. Follow the procedure set by your employer, then mail your gift and the completed matching gift form to:
WVU Foundation, Inc.
Attn: Matching Gifts Coordinator
One Waterfront Place – 7th Floor
Morgantown, WV 26501-5952
Corporate matching gifts are directed to the same designation as your personal gift, unless your employer stipulates otherwise. The WVU Foundation, Inc. will recognize your contribution for the full amount of your personal gift plus the resulting corporate match.
Planned gifts allow you to combine your personal philanthropic and financial plans. There are several giving strategies that can work for almost all income levels.
For more information on making your planned gift, visit our website.

Wagon Mound and Springer NM
The 25 miles out to Wagon Mound was sweet. Lots of decaying old ranch building as almost all the old small towns along a freeways (in this case I-25) are drying up.... Still they have a charm all their own.

We stopped at a convenience store for sodas to help with the new found heat of the Praire. Oh....it's Sunday and small town America may be closed. Today was that day. Wagon Mount school, across the street, was good sized.
Drop Box
We rode 25 miles north to Springer....It was another town bypassed by I-25. That kills the commercial aspect of a town which soon religates the town to hardly more then residential....with some quaint older downtown buildings.

I'll bet the Cozy Motel could tell some stories about the good old days, but those days have faded into the past.

We had spent enough time down here in the heat, and I had seen the town of Springer. This was a far east as we'd go on this trip.....it was all west from here. We headed toward Eagles Nest back on the Taos figure 8.
We found a place to eat in Eagles nest. It was kinda an upscale restaurant, but their country fried steak burger was huge and inexpensive.
I'll remember this place as we had a 15 or 16 year old waitress. She was actually the dishwasher, but her older sister, the real waitress had let her handle us.
We were the second customers that she'd ever waited on. She was cute, and made a lot of rookie mistakes, but still she was a highlight of our day.
A nice red bike sat out front....
Riding SM4C, Sabmag
We moved on to Red River. Our first stop was at the CofC building. It was closed but their Wifi reached to the shaded tables out front.
I wanted to check mail so Nip went for an hours ride, and I fired up my netbook. When I was finished I wandered around out back and found the original Snowmobile.
Riding SM4C, Sabmag
Nip came back...we went to gas up. There was a nice air supply there so Nip took the time to check and air up his tires. I noted that he had a time getting the air chuck to seal on his tires valve stems.
Soon we were on the road.....it was about 5pm. I'd been watching the map and thought that we would soon run out of FS campgrounds....like in 10 miles or so. Nip thought it was too early to camp. Yeah it was early, so we continued
We road on to Questa and made the proper left turn in town. As we left town, Nip who was leading made an out of the ordinary stop on the road's shoulder. Whas up....I wondered.
Nip said that his rear tire suddenly went flat...WTF. Sure enough it was dead flat. What to do now. A guy and gal walking told us that at the last Maverick station, just a 100 yards behind us, they had a tire bay and would fix that tire. No crap....how's that for luck?
Nip wobbled the bike back and the store owner who ran the tire part came down to work on our tire problem. Apparently when the tire was installed with a steel stem it wasn't tightened enough, and when Nip had trouble airing the tire up he had knocked it so that it leaked.
Our new best friend, the Maverick station owner, was able to get it tight, and within a half hour it was all aired up and ready to go.
We asked about campgrounds on down the road toward Taos. They said there were none so we back tracked to a campground a few miles back, and set up for the night.
Nip enjoyed a much better nights sleep with a mat that held air.
Tomorrow we would see the legendary Taos.........

The perceived onset position of a moving target: Effects of trial contexts are evoked by different attentional allocations
- Jochen Müsseler,
- Jens Tiggelbeck
- … show all 2 hide
Previous studies have shown that the localization of the perceived onset position of a moving target varies with the trial context. When the moving target appeared at predictable positions to the left or right of fixation (constant context), localization judgments of the perceived onset positions were essentially displaced in motion direction (Fröhlich effect). In contrast, when the target appeared at unpredictable positions in the visual field (random context), localization judgments were at least drastically reduced. Four explanations of this influence of trial context on localization judgments were examined in three experiments. Findings ruled out an overcompensation mechanism effective in random-context conditions, a predictive mechanism effective in constant-context conditions and a detrimental mechanism originating from more trial repetitions in constant-context conditions. Instead, the results indicated that different attentional allocations are responsible for the localization differences. They also demonstrated that attentional mechanisms are at the basis of the Fröhlich effect.

Are you ready to see Lindsay Lohan topless? Strange question, I know, but are you? Would you be ready if Lindsay was completeley bruised from head to toe? Would you want to see Lindsay Lohan topless, even if she was black blue?
Let me guess, you answered "yes." Well, from this Page Six report, you may be seeing just that. In Lindsay's new film, I Know Who Killed Me, she plays a topless dancer, and for that reason has been taking stripper lessons. However, those lessons have left Lindsay Bruised and battered, and apparently distressed enough to write another one of her crazy letters.
"They're all whores, they're all whores… xcept for some obviously!"
"So… 3 hours of pole dancing and bruised. everywhere… I mean we're talkin' like, UPPER AND INNER THIGH ACTION-bruised… like a walking black-and-blue mark.
"I mean really though, really, I didn't know it was actually possible to have bruises in such areas of the body. Strippers dude, I tell you, I really respect the cunts now… I'm not gonna lie to ya."
Yeah, she's crazy. But let's get back to that whole Lindsay Lohan topless thing. I'm sure you remember Natalie Portman played a stripper in Closer, but aside from a Natalie Portman nipple slip that was very unintentional, there was no Natalie nudity to be had.
So will we really see Lindsay Lohan topless in this movie? If she knows what's good for her career, we will. And as for those bruises, I'm sure the make up department can take care of that.

Yankees buck trend with 3-man playoff rotation
Nov 6, 2009, 3:35 PM EDT
By relying exclusively on CC Sabathia, A.J. Burnett, and Andy Pettitte throughout the postseason the Yankees became the first team since the Twins in 1991 to win the World Series while using only three starting pitchers.
Minnesota won that year behind the trio of Jack Morris, Kevin Tapani, and 23-year-old 20-game winner Scott Erickson, and in a cruel twist of fate that happens to be the first postseason that I can remember watching.
I was eight years old, newly obsessed with the Twins, and living in St. Paul at the time, so naturally it seemed to me that they would be making it to the World Series just about every season for the rest of my life. They haven't been back since. Anyway, enough about the unfortunate timing of my Twins fandom.
Minnesota only needed to use a three-man rotation for two rounds in 1991 and Elias Sports Bureau put together an interesting stat about the history of pitchers starting on short rest since the playoffs expanded to three rounds in 1995. Despite the Yankees' recent success the numbers aren't pretty. Short-rest starters have gone 22-35 with a 4.68 ERA in 480.2 innings during that 15-year span, including a 5.24 ERA in four starts this postseason.
Success tends to breed copycats and the Yankees riding three starters to the World Series this season will no doubt increase the likelihood of other teams giving it a try, but short rest simply hasn't been very kind to pitchers in the playoffs. In fact, only once since 1995 have short-rest starters produced a winning record and an ERA under 4.00.
- geek - Nov 6, 2009 at 7:28 PM
The 3 man rotation worked but if the Yanks would have had 4 proven starters that is what they would have used.
For some reason now 3 days rest seems to be the standard just like a pitch count.
Some of this may have to do with pitchers being more fragile however I suspect more has to do with protecting million dollar talent.

Fluvanna Review
02 May 2012
Black bears, the only species of bear in Virginia, are not one would expect of a bear. Ask Jaime Sajecki, the Project Leader of the Black Bear Project for the Virginia Department of Game and Inland Fisheries (VDGIF). She points out that many have a vision of bears similar to those we see on TV or in the movies. Many envision a terrifying 750 pounds worth of carnivorous mammal, rising up on its hind legs in an attack stance, claws poised, roaring at its potential prey. This is a closer description of the Brown or Grizzly bear. Virginia's bears are more mischievous, a little shy and resemble Gentle Ben or the frolicsome Winnie the Pooh.
