7A Reflective Report

As I completed the UNSW Professional Development Program , I was invited to apply for a pilot project called ‘NSW Global Scope’ offered by StudyNSW NSW Department of Premier & Cabinet and Sydney-based education services and technology start-up, Intersective during Semester 1 2016.

This leadership experience is an accurate demonstration of my credentials and a large source of my purpose. I am organizing this overnight conference, seeking to improve the leadership capacity of students by encouraging them to discover their individuality and bond with other leaders. As MOCA, I update the schedule with minute-by-minute details; delegate roles to the security team, mentors, and executives; draft the itinerary and timeline; negotiate venue and transportation prices; and communicate with sponsors. This experience has taught me how to use budgets efficiently and improved my organization skills. I have also learned that with purposeful action and passion, I can leave a mark and create positive change in any vocation I pursue.

In thinking about how my knowledge and beliefs about communication have changed or grown resulting from participation in this course and the positive impact. I would have to say I am grateful for the knowledge I am gaining, due to the improved care I can offer, as well as a broadened knowledge surrounding dementia.

My overall experience in Practicum 3 was a good and an enriching one. It was an eye opening experience on the general on goings of a secondary school in Quebec. Not only I learnt immensely about the high school culture but also about the challenging task of management of teenagers. I worked and learnt how to cooperate with my cooperating teacher, supply teachers, students and school staff. From the constructive feedback, observations and suggestions from my cooperating teacher and supply teachers, I adapted and tried to improve to give my best for good pedagogical practices. A particularly serious classroom management issue made my experience in high school quite challenging. With respect to all the practicums, I felt better prepared for Practicum III and yet, I had many questions pertaining the role of a teacher. I did question of what I was doing wrong or was I fit for teaching at all. The Discussion Forum available in one of our classes in the BEALS program was a significant resource for better understanding and guidance in such an issue. I have learnt my lessons that questioning is a good exercising

EREPORT # 19242 stated the following: I don't have a specific date when the incident happened. On today, February 24, 2016, Melanie reported to me that her butt bleeds because Rudy (step father) keep hitting her.

The day of my small group, I communicated with my student helper about what song we will be singing so that she was prepared to sing it with me. I also did a brief verbal run down of what my activity is about and how I will need to use her for an example. Communicating prior to implementing my activity allowed the small group to run more smoothly as the student helper knew what to expect. I also communicated with my student helper to focus on a certain child depending on the designated day. This would help reduce distractions or help the child that has more difficulty in participating. I asked my student helper to transition and line up the children as I set up my small group, to help save time and give the children maximum

For my winter 2017 co-op term, I worked at KPMG LLP, Canada as a staff accounting in the Financial Institution and Real Estate audit group. Similar to my midterm reflection, I worked in teams of 4-6 people, with various level of expertise including staff accountants, seniors, managers and partners. Over the last half of the work term, I worked on 3 different real estate clients (two public and one private company) working on various audit work such as debt and revenue sections.

This episode starts with the title of the show clearly presented centre screen with the current main institutional colour of Newsround, blue. The rest of the set is mainly in darkness except for the main screen at the back, which contains a white and purple globe like the one on BBC news which is red and white, and rectangular blue lights are also featured on the set. Purple is also an institutional colour of Newsround that is why it is included. The singular female presenter is seen in a full body shot.

On October 19, 2016, as we went to Tripler Army Medical Center, I was placed in Labor and Delivery. When we got there, didn’t have so many women ready to give birth. Then about an hour later, they called and said there was a women having a C-section. When I went in to introduce myself she was very nice and was telling me that she was having twin girls named Anastasia and Angelina. I was very scared at first to see a surgical operation but at the same time I was excited to see twins be born. The nurse was explaining to me that they had to do a pre op before doing the procedure. Then as we went in the operating room the Anesthesiologist came and had to give anesthesia in her spine. Since she had a previous C-section they had to cut in the same place as the previous one. It was very interesting seeing a C-section for the very first time in my life. I never thought I would ever have seen twins be born but this was an amazing moment of my life. Before this, I thought it was simple procedure until I seen it with my own eyes.

1. Reflect and discuss how the content in Module 1 prepared you to demonstrate mastery on the assignment in Module 1. There were two parts for module one. The first part was to make a wiki and introduce ourselves to the other students in the course. We also had to comment on their introduction.

The major activities of the week included to have a meeting with the parents of one of my target clients. This is a new experience for me as an intern counselor, at the end of the meeting the parents were very appreciative of our concerns and for supporting their child when she needed it. With this experience, I also was able to do my first referral to the department of Human Service (DHS) in Arlington. Also I was able to have mediation meetings with students, as well as individual sessions. Follow ups were also important, they involved communicating with the students to make sure they stability and well-being.

Taking the Bachelor Science of Nursing broadened my knowledge, especially while taking the Community health nursing II, this course taught me strategies and tools that can be used to improve the health status and health needs of the residents of the community. According to Clark (2015) “In caring for populations, population health nurses employ the same steps of the nursing process as are used in the care of individuals and families: assessment, diagnosis, planning, implementation, and evaluation” (pg. 356). As I was doing my community assessment, through research and interviews of my target audiences, I was not surprised that they have limited knowledge about diabetes and how important that changing their unhealthy lifestyle to health lifestyle can reverse, prevent, or delayed the complication of the diabetes such as hypertension, blindness, and foot amputation. This class also help me to learn and sensitive about the person’s difference in age, culture, race, gender and living situation that could impact my comfort as a nurse in taking good care and communicating with them. As a nurse, being cultural competence can make my interactions both easier and more successful with my target audience. Most important is being self-aware by identifying my own beliefs and culture

I believed both are important for me as I begin my doctoral journey. The purpose of continuing my education and obtaining a doctoral degree is to increase my knowledge base, broaden my educational horizons, and strengthen and empower me to become a professional role model who will make a greater impact within the minority community instilling the importance to obtaining a higher education.

As of now only two people have posted their discussions. Due to work, clinicals and other things going in my life, I have to post my global responses ahead of time. By reading both Christina and Pam’s discussion, I understand how the concept of safety is the most important aspect of PHN. During last semester, we were educated that we should never enter someone’s property if we feel unsafe. At Marin public health, we do not do home visits, so everything is done via phone calls. For example, the nurse I worked with made calls to those who had communicable disease and some did not answer the calls. I questioned the nurse asking if she personally visit the person if they do not answer the phone calls or call back. Personally, I believed that a person with communicable disease should be
