Through my entry level position at the Campus Preschool, I anticipated that would figure out how to function with children of differing instructive levels. I have communicated with children before, however never have I invested energy this much time with them. I additionally anticipated that would perceive my own capacity to really have the capacity to work with youthful children in an instructive setting. I was apprehensive at first to work with four-year old's, so I figured this entry level position would enable me to get through those obstructions and give myself that certainty I required. Through this entry level position, I additionally needed to pick up involvement with working with children with incapacities, since I haven't had numerous collaborations previously. I needed to have the capacity to take in the correct procedures keeping in mind the end goal to effectively work with a person with handicaps, since it is a pertinent and helpful aptitude to have for my future. I additionally anticipated that would figure out how to show children abilities in a classroom and in social settings, as to enable them to create.

I remain passionate and committed to my goal of improving patient outcomes through improved sleep in the intensive care unit. In reviewing my personal literacy blueprint the barriers that will potentially get in my way are in Edison’s competencies of Solution-Centered Mindset and Full-Spectrum Engagement. The opportunities for improvement in this area are to learn to write down my goals and to review them on a regular basis. My goals are established in my mind, but I need to write them down and review them regularly to keep on track with this project. I also need to be willing to experiment more, to explore different ideas, and to not hold tight to preconceived pathways and solutions which could limit my ability to find the best solutions. Another area of opportunity lies in learning to optimize my time and energy. Too often I allow myself to become bogged down in day to day tasks and forget to take the time to work on what I am passionate about and what I believe

In the beginning of this program I found that being a mentee, while not exactly foreign, wasn’t a position I was used to actively assuming. But as a result of my continued learning I think I have come to embrace that position, much more; for the plain and simple fact that: the better you are at learning from others, the better the quality of your work and contributions (potentially as a teacher, later) will be.

Furthermore, the ways in which the learning goal supports the commitment to continuing competency is by enhancing knowledge regarding specialized body of knowledge as it looks at the various ways of knowing. Also, develops knowledge-based practice as the strategies use evidence to guide practice, and competent application of knowledge as it aids in the nursing process of care (CNO, 2014, p. 5-7). Ensuring the safety and quality of care of patients would be an evaluation measure to assess the quality and effectiveness of the learning plan. Therefore, evaluation would include being able to recognize and treat episodes of abnormal glucose levels and care for diabetic patients within the scope of an RN by integrating personal and aesthetic way

Competency has two split meanings in it uses relating to evidence and witness themselves. In regards to evidence, competence refers to admissibility and specifically not hearsay. In regards to witness, the term refers to legal capability of an individual to give reliable facts for use in court of law. The general rule under rule 601 of the federal rule evidence provides that "every person is competent to be a witness except as otherwise provided in these rules". This rule governs and directs in decision making on a witness ability to provide evidence in a trial. It through assessments of competence that it is determined if a court can hear evidence from a particular witness (Nemeth, 2011).

Once I will be able to overcome my challenges explained above, I will be more positive towards any type of challenges, I do not know what kind of challenge to expect exactly as a social worker, but I think there will

At my practicum site, there were a few competencies that were more difficult to learn/practice than others. Competency eight, engaging in policy practice, was more difficult than most to feel like I was fulfilling it. Competency six, engaging in research-informed practice and practice- informed research, was also a bit of a struggle for me because of the way running groups were being modeled to me.

In an effort to meet the needs and challenges triggered by the 21st century demand in healthcare, there have been constant calls across the nursing spectrum and beyond to standardize the entry level position into nursing practice. These calls stem from the fact that several research studies have concluded that hospitals with greater number of baccalaureate prepared nurses as an entry- level position have observed considerable benefits as a result. These benefits are associated with the practical differences in competencies exhibited by baccalaureate prepared nurses and experienced by the hospitals (magnet hospitals) that hire greater number of

Excel has been becoming a more major role player in the business world, because of the simplicity and easiness to share files across multiple computers it presents once mastered, luckily my computer information systems course provided a background for understanding and knowing the basics of excel. Eventually, a supervisor of mines will request I prepare a financial report of my clients and my understanding of Excel will ease the learning process of proper preparation of this task, because I will already have the base skills required and be able to build-off of those skills when learning the specifics required in preparing the report. Computer information systems 2010 at Georgia State also taught me that all information systems are linked together within most business, so if I do not fully grasp the information of a file uploaded by another department then I can locate someone in that specific department and ask them for assistance in understanding the information, rather than seeking out a manger and using their precious time explaining something that someone else could have explained just as well, possibly even better because it entails their specialization. CIS also taught me that information systems is constantly changing, because of all the advancements in technology and technology security, because of that I

However, I reckoned that I worked fairly slow. I thought that was because of nervous and unconfirmed. So, I would have mental rehearsal at home and study more knowledge to back-up my skills.

The individuals may have balanced or imbalanced power in the decision making process. Competency is a term that is directly correlated with guided participation. Competency is having the necessary ability, knowledge, or skill to do something successfully. While the definition of guided participation used in the current study does not differ from that used by Radziszewska and Rogoff (1991, p. 386), the researchers of this study documented three different patterns in the role of the more competent other. The patterns that emerged were varying levels of competency within a small group, adult to child dyad where the child was the more competent other, and a small group of children where competency was fluid.
