Scholarship. During my interview for UMMC I was asked if I had a bachelor’s in nursing to which I replied no. I was hired with the agreement that I would pursue my degree with two years of working. This isn’t the ideal way someone wants to continue his or her education. It leaves a bad taste in your mouth feeling forced to pay for more education when you are already licensed as a registered Nurse. At first you feel as though all of the hard work you put into your ADN program is worth pennies because you don’t have BSN next to your name. But then you realize, nursing is no easy task. It requires all that we have learned in this program; the valued ends, presence, praxis, self-care, leadership, advocacy and now scholarship. Having completed

On February 9, 2011, at approximately 7:15 AM, I, GBI Special Agent Abigail Wilkes, arrived at 293 Stone Road to process a crime scene involving two deaths. When I arrived, the crime scene was secured with yellow tape. I met with Deputy Sheriff Ray Chandler. Chandler told me that the two victims, Steve Campbell and Sherry Campbell, had two gunshot wounds each. Sherry Campbell died in the master bedroom of the residence, but emergency medical services (EMS) took Steve Campbell from the scene. Chandler informed that the EMS personnel entered the residence through the front door and placed Steve Campbell on a stretcher. Steve Campbell 's injuries created a blood drip trail when he was transported to the ambulance. The drip trail began in the master bedroom, went through the hallway, out of the front door, and into the yard of the residence. Steve Campbell died on the way to the hospital.

When was the last time you were in the hospital or a loved one was in the hospital, and ever wondered where the nurse is, and they haven 't returned for hours. You finally push the assistance button several times, and they open the door and hurriedly say, “I will be right back”, then you don 't see them for a while again. When they come back to check up on you, you explain to them what you need, and then they send in a less qualified staff member to assist you. At this point, you become very annoyed and frustrated not to mention scared to be admitted in the hospital to begin with. Little do you know, your nurse has ten other patients and other non-nursing tasks that they are responsible taking care of. They have been working a double shift and are extremely exhausted, and a large stack of charts that they will have to do before their shift is over. As a patient, you now become frustrated and are not happy about this; as a nurse, they are just as frustrated as you are, not only because the amount of work they have but more importantly they can 't deliver the appropriate care they long to give. For most hospitals they do not hire enough registered nurses for reasons that are good and bad. This is an issue that needs to be addressed not only locally but nationally and on a constant basis. When there are too many patients for one registered nurse to attend to, nurses become exhausted, mistakes are made, and patients are unsatisfied. A minimum nurse to patient ratio needs to be

“Honey I’m going to be in Lake Tahoe’s Emergency Room in three days for Suzzane.”

Skylar was a 15 year old in her freshman year of high school along with her two best friends Tucker and Charlotte. Skylar had long brown silky hair, which she always wore up either in a ponytail or some type of braid. Skylar loved to wear skinny jeans, converse, and sweatshirts. Her eyes were a mixture of a green and darker orange color. Skylar was very confident around people that she was most comfortable with. Otherwise, she was very shy and quiet around others. Charlotte was blonde with her hair always flowing down her back. Charlotte wore pretty much the same thing as Skylar except she liked to wear actual t-shirts. Charlotte has bright blue eyes that everyone wished they had. Charlotte didn’t care what others thought so she was always

I do well with patient interactions, I am very comfortable with starting the conversation and interviewing the patient regarding their chief complaints. I also do well with soap notes during clinical. I document directly in patients’ chart at the clinical setting. I am getting more comfortable with the system each day; my preceptor has given me positive feedback on my soap notes documentations. I need to improve on the planning portion of the clinical, I have difficulty with HEENT system. It seems hard to distinguish between the antibiotic choices and who to prescribe antibiotics per guidelines. I also have difficulty with all the procedures that we encounter during clinical. I don’t have a clear knowledge of what to do with the procedures.

My name is Abdulrahman Alnawajha and I am currently applying to the University of Toledo Medical School. I interviewed on February 16th and am writing this letter for three purposes. My first purpose is to reiterate that UT is my unequivocal number one choice. Furthermore, I can’t think of any other schools I would rather spend the next four years of my life than at (UT) your medical school. Therefore, if accepted, I will definitely attend UT. Second, I hope to express why I (UT is my number one choice.) am a good fit for your school. Last, I want to update you on new accomplishments since my interview day.

After being unconscious for I don’t how long, I awoke. My brain feels like someone is pounding it with a mallet from the inside. The only time I’ve ever had a headache this bad was when I fell from the rooftops the first time I tried to jump. My head had connected with the steel piping and I woke up in the alley four hours later with a killer headache that didn’t go away for two days. I cautiously open my eyes prepared for the searing pain of light.

“ Push Mrs. Wehling , come on just a bit more you're doing great. Almost there ,” said the doctor that was helping me give birth to my triplets. “ I wonder what three people volunteered for my triplets to be born.” I laying down waiting for the pain to calm down. “Doctor… Doctor we found three dead bodies in the other room.” Said the nurse who was out of breath. “We still haven’t identified them, but we know for a fact that one of the dead is Dr.Hitz. The other two are still getting identified.” I wonder who could’ve done something like that. “ The others have been identified a Leora Duncan and Edward K. Wehling , Jr

The most gratifying experience for me was my interaction with patients. Along the course of their hospital stay, I established a kind of relationship that allowed me to not only see them as patients, but to see them as real people. Each patient had a unique story; a story that defined them a individuals and that had led them to this point in their lives. The patient presenting with a Lupus flare was a 42-year-old female that had to give up her job and career because of the chronic disabilities the disease brought over the years. She had developed chronic kidney disease and was on dialysis waiting to match for a donor kidney. Over the years she had given up hope, and this attitude had an impact on her marriage. Her husband wanted to donate

For the second interview, one of the questions was if you work for the State Hospital, what will be the reason to leave? The second question something like this, if you get hire, what will be you plan to catch up with the project assigned to you?

Throughout the time, dealing with patients of other cultures, gathering of necessary data it is very important, as it will be used in further health care process. Furthermore, the success of medical care depends on how correctly the information was collected and processed. Indeed, it is possible to collect a big amount of data that will happen to be unnecessary in the case. Then, examination process is important too. Interview technique is a two-way process. Even though it is necessary to raise concerns and lead the patient in the information collection discussion, listening is one of the substantial parts of the interview process. The health care professionals must give encouragement and space to have patients tell their medical history. If

I chose to interview my mother who is currently a nurse at canton nursing center. She had said before she never stopped studying, she always read the book of human anatomy. In high school she was an average worker most of the time her grades were great she didn’t skip school. After high school she went to college for about 4 or 5 years during her time in college she studied hard and never skipped. My grandmother was my mother’s role module my grandmother was a nurse for a while and that inspired my mom to be a nurse. My mom said my grandmother always knew what the right thing to do and say. Her thoughts going to college were whether or not if she was going to pass or fail. My mother’s grades never really changed in college. My mother went

I'm a senior graduating in May. In my four years at LSU, I've not felt more inclined to nominate a faculty member for an award until I took Dr. Sheehan-Dean's class. He is a phenomenal professor that's engaging and accessible. He goes out of his way to help students and gives detailed feedback on all assignments. He doesn't take attendance, but he's such an excellent lecturer that his classes are always full. His expertise with the Civil War, in my opinion, is unmatched, and he communicates that knowledge clearly and effectively.

The parking lot was covered with puddles from the lingering rain drops and the smell of wet concrete was dominant in the outside aroma as both Rhonda and her husband came near the entrance of the white colored hospital with countless amounts of square windows. After the quick thirty second walk to the hospital from their car passing many evergreen colored trees, Rhonda and her husband approached the main hospital sliding doors which swished open as they came near letting all of the chilled Seattle air flood lobby. After the hospital doors closed shut, Rhonda released her grip from her husband’s hand and wobbled over to the check-in desk where they both were greeted by a female receptionist in her mid-thirties with long brown hair pulled back into a tight ponytail with deep brown eyes. “Hello! How may I help you today?”, the nurse asked in an upbeat manner. “Hi! My name is Rhonda Crane and I am here to check into my appointment with Dr.Harvey at 9 o’clock who will be delivering my baby. I received a phone call from the nurse this morning and she told me that Dr.Harvey requested that I come in today to have my baby
