Gtcc Reflection

Thank you for viewing my portfolio. This portfolio contains a compilation of my academic and professional achievements throughout my educational course work and professional career. Please take a moment to look within each tab to see my academic and professional activities.

Nursing is more than traveling room to room, patient to patient, to provide medical care. Nursing is about treating the patient with the utmost respect and compassion. It’s more than providing medical care, but supporting the patient and family. Being a nurse only requires a bachelor degree and a “RN” badge, however, a great nurse possesses that knowledge, along with determination, a positive attitude, compassion, and patience. I believe that I display these characteristics and have a true passion for helping others. Throughout high school, I always had an interest in the medical field and biology. In my junior year, I decided to enroll in the CNA course to pursue my passion for nursing early on. Through this class, I experienced moments of self discovery

There are two ways to become a registered nurse: a fast track two year associate degree course or a comprehensive four year baccalaureate course. A graduate of both courses makes the student qualified to take the NCLEX-RN and get an RN license. The American Association of Colleges of Nursing (2010) believes that “education has a significant impact on the knowledge and competencies of nurses”.

“When you’re a nurse you know that everyday you will touch a life or a life will touch yours” ("Home"). Pursuing nursing, specifically Registered Nursing (RN) was never a question, I have always known that is what I would become. Registered Nurses work for patient care, and explains and teaches patients about their health care needs. Nursing has been in my family now for three generations and I am here to carry out the legacy. It is important to understand the education and training requirements, skills and talents needed, salary benefits offered, and the duties when committing to this career.

Hello my dear friend! I hope you are doing well. I am just writing to let you know that I finally started my semester at STCC. As you know, I missed the last two semesters due to situations that got out of my hands. I have a new job, but I also switched to Liberal Arts. At the moment, I am enrolled as a full-time student. My husband says I might regret it, because it can get overwhelming for me due to the language barrier, and having too much in my plate. Although, he might be right about having too much; I will do my best to finish this semester with good grades. One of the classes I signed up to is History-110, section E80. My professor’s name is John Diffley. I do not know him yet since it is my first week in school, but he seems to love

This portfolio has show my progress in many different ways. The biggest way is my rhetorical knowledge has been increased because of the sources we have had to read especially in this last unit when we had to use the UW database. The scholarly articles and journals pushed my reading and analyzing to the limit, but it really helped me for the future. Because of my ability to analyze the sources well, it has helped me increase my writing, because I have been able to really find good credible quotes to use within my work.

I am currently in my second year of studies at Delaware County Community College. My major is Science for the Health Professions and my goal is to be enrolled in Thomas Jefferson University's Nursing Program by Fall 2017. My mother is currently a Registered Nurse. She has inspired me to fulfill this career and I aim to surpass her success and achieve my Masters Degree in Nursing rather than an Associate's. However, this past year has proven to be the most difficult in my efforts of achieving this dream of mine.

Chances are that if you came across this ebook, you are considering a career as a Registered Nurse or curious about the steps to becoming an RN. Before proceeding to the first step in this ebook, consider why out of every career choice possible you chose nursing. Did you grow up surrounded by nurses? Did a nurse impact your life at one point? Did you watch “Grey’s Anatomy” and think that a nurse's day must be filled with adrenaline and excitement? Whatever the reason that brought you here, I want to congratulate you for taking the first step into exploring what I consider to be one of the most challenging, inspiring and rewarding careers. Nursing school was certainly no walk in the park and took a lot of sacrifice, but it's definitely worth it.

Today was a slow day, but very education. I am finding that out that my time at CTLC is better spent wathing then actually doing things. When I walked into the doubdle door facilty I seen the usual faces, and I greated them as I made my way back to my little small cubicl office. When I arrived at my office about two minutes after greeting several people, I noticed a small green sticky note that was on my desk from te day prior. The note was to remind me about the homeless alliance meeting in the chamber of commerce in temple TX. I completely forgot about it, so I had to replan my day out in order to mame the meeting. I was a little upset about replanning my day, because I plan to go to the gym at three oclok today. I guess thatnot

(C) C100 Reflection. The purpose of this executive summary (EXSUM) is to provide a personal reflection of CGSOC C100 block of instruction. C100 has provided for me an objective view of my overall writing, speaking and thinking skills. For writing, I feel I need to commit extra time and seek remedial assistance to help develop my writing skills to the Army's expected level of writing. With speaking, I must continue to develop confidence and not rely solely on handwritten notes and be the subject matter expected during my briefs. In addition, I must always be aware of the purpose of my brief and the audience that I am giving the brief to. Thirdly, in my critical and creative thinking, I must expand my level of thinking. During C100, I learned

I have been a nurse for 34 years and have enjoyed my experiences beyond belief, however there comes a time in anyone's life where you have to make the decision on whether to stay stagnant or broaden your horizons. I choose to broaden my horizons and put the many hours of education that I have accumulated into good use. I do get excited about learning and have always enjoyed going to school so this is a dream come true for me to finally get my associate degree. Travel with me as I take the journey to decipher all the events, influences, and obstacles that have aided in my educational decisions. If there was any event that sparked me to come to CCU it was the fact that I see men and women, way younger than me, become leaders over our clinics,

My involvement in Asian Pacific Health Corps has provided me with insight into the health needs of my community. Prior to volunteering at the health fairs, I was unaware of how many people lack health insurance or a doctor that they could regularly visit. Furthermore, performing blood pressure and body mass index screenings have provided me experience with interacting with patients. Educating patients about their screening results have prepared me to be a future physician who takes the time to understand each patient’s learning style and simplifies health topics to ensure understanding.

Over the past week or so I have learned more about the Boys and Girls Club of American in the Austin area and I felt the need to share with my families whom have school age children in their home. I am finding that most BGCA only accept children 6 years of age or older; however, there is an Austin BGCA that accepts children 5 years of age.

The Associate Degree Nursing at Carteret community College teaches you about meeting others needs about their health. It is a interest to me because I like to help and care for others. To be able to graduate you have to have 68 credit hours and once you complete them you will get licence to become a registered nurse.

During the last quarter I usually focus in running our GT Enhancement course in the month of July. This happens by using our own monetary resources and the Education facility in Joint Base McGuire Dix Lakehurst to provide this one week course instead of the three weeks. At the end of the week is mandatory for all Soldier’s to take the AFQT test. This course does not only help our warrant officer prospects, but also allows them to have an opportunity to pursue either OCS or an MOS with a requirement of a GT score of 110, helping our OSM shop build our pool for the new FY. I also attend ROTC orientations, WOPD’s, unit visits, WOCS graduations and any other events that can open a window of information for those that don’t know about the Warrant
