Benefits Of A New Service At The Winter Break Feed My Sheep

Today (Tuesday) has been a good day. I have been able to do some jobs that urgently needed doing, and I am also planning to be able to look after mum and dad without any carers from now on. I can still access them if I need to, but I know that mum will be happier when we return to our old routines. Both mum and dad have been badly affected by my illness and I now need to focus on helping them to feel safe and secure again.

I need you home now.” This was my wakeup call and I knew that I had to hurry home. “I’m coming home now mom. I’ll be there in a bit. Everything is going to be alright.” Keeping my composure I went to the NHS president and told her that I had a family emergency and that I had to go. For some reason she was giving me a hard time about it but after seeing my eyes she asked if everything was alright. I just said I had to go and she finally let me go without asking anything further of me. I darted out of the cafeteria doors taking a right on the first floor hall way on the east side of the building and then a left I went through one of the schools entrances on 59th court. I live on the same street as the school just three miles away. At that moment I felt stranded. I did not have my “proper gear” to run it as fast as I could and at the time for some reason I did not bring my car to school. However, I knew I had to get home fast so I took off. As the cars passed me I lost myself in my head. I was not crying or even sad. I was unsure of how I should react. Then the thoughts of what if I never get to talk to him again ran through my head. That is when the tears started to pour down my cheeks as I continued to pant.

09-09-2012 Day 1: I went to sleep at 1:00 am and woke up at 6:11 am. The dream was that my grandmother passed away and that I had nobody to confide in. It got to a point where I just went

In appointments, I usually helped her with her taxes, provided emotional support, helped with benefit applications, and sometimes helped her with technology. She has a fairly short attention span because of her pain, medications, and depression and needed help with critical thinking in regards to filing her years of tax paperwork. When I was first passed this client, it seemed to come with an attitude of "I am sorry I have to pass this client off to you, she is kind of a pain." After I met with her the first time I was really shocked because I saw her situation from a completely differently. I recognized that she needed help, and even though her concerns were a bit unconventional, we had the resources available to help her. We had months of productive work together, and towards the end of the placement, our receptionist was very forward in telling me that I needed to discontinue working with her because "we did not provide the services she needed help with" and that she was essentially draining our resources. The first time it happened I explained to the receptionist that we have students and volunteers sitting

As for Linda, she wanted to keep in touch with me, but I wanted to be left alone. Along the road I ended going down, I did some horrible things. When I almost overdosed and was sent to the ER, Linda was the only one who I could call. She came right away and stayed with me and my daughter and I at the hospital. I can remember how scared I felt, the sound of injured people, the old and the young, all crying in pain. With every thing going on around us, Linda was my guardian angel. With her there, I didn’t feel so alone anymore. Then people started to stare at me and ask questions., Mmy heart rate was racing, palms were sweating, knees were shaking, and my mouth was like a dry desert, devoidted offor taste and flavour. They asked “What is wrong with you?” and “What brought you to the ER?” I could hear murmurs coming from all directions questioning how stupid could I be having my daughter left at the hospital with me while i was all messed up, I could barely stand, let alone care for my daughter. I began to get nervous, scared, and worried, I was so on the edge of losing it, not only that I was on the verge of fainting. I could feel my anxiety kicking in,

The beginning of my week started out with a very stressful situation that led me to an obstacle that I would have to overcome. The weather was miserable and that intensified how I felt. It was windy and pouring rain as I drove to the veterinarian's office in a panic. The problem was that our puppy suddenly became ill with virus like symptoms and appeared to be dying. I knew what the culprit was and have seen how horrible canine parvo virus can be. My next few decisions would reveal the puppies fate.

I fluttered my eyes open. Today would be a new day full of opportunities and chances to make it a great,what could go wrong.Then I remembered. I remembered what would happen that day. I had a hard time getting to sleep that night. Tossing, and turning with thoughts whipping and circling through my head.I drew a stiff bre My eyes filled with tears, and my body jerked with anger. Why? Why today? I thought. I threw my head into my pillows and stayed there for what I thought was forever.

This past week at the Crisis Center for South Suburbia was not as eventful as the past two weeks. The clients that were causing frequent verbal altercations have either exited on their own, exited involuntarily, or been given a written warning in which they are following the conditions of. I now have only one client on my caseload, since the other had voluntarily exited herself and her son. On Monday, 10/31/16, I was able to help the children in shelter celebrate Halloween. We set up trick or treating spots throughout the shelter and I also was able to handout treat bags that were donated to the shelter. The kids seemed to have some fun with the little celebration we were able to give to them. Also on that day, I worked my first evening shift. The evening definitely has a lot more activity since most clients are back from work or other commitments during the day. During this time, it was just myself and D working. In the midst of all the activity, we had a medical emergency that I was able to respond to. Tiffany* had been discharged from hospital with the understanding that she had a mild heart attack and would need to have a stent put in later. Upon arriving back from the shelter, something was just not right with her. Myself along with another client, observed her in the kitchen staring at the counter without moving for around five minutes. When she finally seemed to snap out of whatever was going on, she tried to walk away but was stumbling and almost

The most challenging aspect of this clinical situation was that the client always wants to run away from us as soon as he believes he is doing fine and does not need to be with the nurses. It was hard to deal with a client who loves to seek attention, as soon as he gets a hold of the nurse and gets what he wants, he just wanted to run away from the nurse. Working with a client with such behaviours, I would wonder if I, as a nurse was taking too long to provide the care that he receives every day from other nurses. I wanted to make sure that the client’s condition is stable, as Canadian Nurses Association (2008) stated one of the nursing values and ethical responsibilities is that “[n]urses work with people to enable them to attain their highest possible level of health and well-being” (p. 10). It was my responsibility to make sure my client’s

Today I am being Released from the hospital but i Realize that my time is now limited, more limited than what it was before, not my days are numbered. Since I found this out I decided to have a pre funeral so I can attend my own funeral. I asked Isaac and Hazel - Grace to write a eulogy for me. I had the pre funeral all set up it would just be me Hazel and Isaac. We all met up right outside the church where Support Group was held. Isaac said great things but I had to correct him on my age when I will die. Then it was Hazel’s turn to talk, her eulogy was wonderful it made me so happy to impact her life since she will impact the

I walk down the stairs, surprised by the sight of all my family in my living room. Instantly, I'm wondering what's going on. Usually, no one is up at this time. I see everyone sitting down, and my dog Murphy laying there right in the middle of them all. I stare at my mom and I see the sadness in her face, but she's staying strong.

I would identify the precipitating event by directly asking the client why they came to see me. After this initial question, I would follow with several open ended questions in order to allow the client to not only describe what the problem is, but also how they perceive the problem to be. Questions like “What does this mean to you?” or “”What emotions are going on inside you?” can allow them to express in detail their perception, without making any assumptions for them.

for deciding not to treat the client should be explained carefully. This will let the client know that

I woke up at eight in the morning, being that it was May and spring was in the air I knew that my day would be perfect. As I leaped out of my warm and comfortable bed to put on my Bullwinkle slippers, my stomach nerves began to tighten. I figured it was just a small bellyache and I would get over it soon. I walked slowly to the bathroom not really realizing that the house was not filled with sunshine as it usually is during these beautiful spring days. As I began to brush my teeth my eyes caught a glimpse of the window that I now noticed was so close to the mirror. I could have died when I noticed that the rain was coming down like a storm. It was at that moment that I ran to mother’s room to tell her that I couldn’t go driving today. My
