Competency Exercises

I have checked my grades and they could have been better had I not misunderstood the assignment back in week 1. Nevertheless, my understanding of the instructions has grown and I am learning something new every day. My priorities from here forward are to stick to my schedule and work on my learning style. In order to be prepared for an unexpected computer glitch, I believe you should back up your work to more than one source in various locations. The likely hood of all of your backup sources failing is highly unlikely unless you keep them all in the same place. Hoping for the best and preparing for the worst is something I’ve learned. One thing that stood out to me last week was my skills assessment worksheet. Being honest with yourself

Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) (2015) states that all nurses should be competent at carrying out an accurate assessment on patients of all ages safely using invasive and non-invasive procedures. Benner (1982) formed the stages of competency: Novice; this is where I started in year one, I had never done a manual blood pressure before and lacked confidence. Advanced beginner; this is where I feel I am at present, I can take a manual blood pressure with occasional supportive cues, I am more confident than the first time and my knowledge is improving. Competent; this is the stage I expect to be at when I qualify, I would like to feel confident and I intend to know exactly what I am doing and why. Proficient; this is where I expect to be

This week in the field as an intern for the Department of Social Services, I was able to complete in-office tasks and complete a home visit with my supervisor. On Monday my supervisor informed me she and other coworkers were in need of creating a new resource manual that would be up to date with the current resources in the Midlands area. Therefore, one of the tasks completed this week was creating a resource manual that would have more resources with up to date numbers, addresses, and contact persons. During this process, I was able to understand the importance of workers having the manual up to date with more resources added to it. Competency skill 9 states a professional social worker, “Actively refers clients to community resources.” With this being required of a professional

Goal 1: To Use data to differentiate instructions and as an indicator of students growth.

The reasoning for young teens to consider starting their own buisnesses is a great idea. There are alot of teenagers who are smart, ambitious and are very much interested in becoming young entrepreneurs.

In several cases, not only have these ventures turned into more than wonderful ideas but also small buisnesses which became

On November 25 2014, President Obama announced his use of executive actions for immigration reform. One major change is the increase of Optional Practice Training time from seventeen months to twenty-nine months. Optional Practice Training or OPT is the time allowed for foreign students who have completed their studies in the U.S to stay and work. Many corporations hire these students to work in the fields of Science, Technology, Engineer or Mathematic or STEM. In “Senator Session Is Right: No STEM Worker Shortage”, Camarota argued the supply of STEM workers is abundant. His assumption is wrong base on salary trend and unemployment rate, the number of college graduates that supply STEM field, and political benefits due to President Obama’s

On October 20,2005 at approximately 0500 hours, 5 am for all you Non-Military folks my life changed for the better. I woke up to 10 men and 6 women yelling at the top of their lungs… “Get up, you lazy sacks of shits.” At this point, all I could do was bow my head and ask my Heavenly Father up above, what did I get myself into. Once I opened my eyes and focused on what was going on around me, I thought nothing like this could ever happen in the world we live in. The other soldiers around me were stumbling out of their bunks trying to maintain what the Army calls your military bearing. All you heard was the loud thunderous sounds of lockers being pushed over by Drill Sergeants demonstrating to us what could happen more often in our days to come

In reviewing the information that was given while trying to determine whether or not AB is competent to stand trial the best option at this point is to conduct a competency test, being in Virginia the test that would be administered as per the Dusky v. United States (1960) ruling that established the basic test to see whether a person is sufficiently able to consult with his lawyer and have a rational degree of understanding to comprehend the charges that are being brought against him. AB has seemed rather compliant while he has been in jail, the correctional officers seem to not have many problems with him though they do seem to be concerned with the fact that he has been talking to himself late at night.

This week in the field was a little different even though I completed some of the same task as I do every week. Therefore, I was able to experience competency skills that revolved around the behavior of families within and outside of the institutional setting. During the beginning of the week I had to sort through files and reorganized them in order to have all health information in one section and general information in another. While completing this task I was able to learn a great deal of information about the children and their families. By performing this action, I was able to understand why teachers perform certain activities in the classroom with certain children. For example, there was a child who teachers have eat by himself. I could

Psychological Skills Training might actually shorten the total rehabilitation time an athlete might face in a temporary injury, however, there are no studies that prove this.
