Not only has this internship provided me with the insight of working in a hospital setting, but it has also given me an understanding that working in a hospital with patients and other health care providers is nothing easy.

I also learned that regardless of how busy and hectic this unit can get, all the employees always offer to help the patients and their family members, and make sure they are
An internship can also heighten the awareness of community issues, motivates to create opportunities, embrace new ideas, and give direction to positive change.

An internship is an opportunity to not only use and develop industry-related knowledge and skills, but also to enhance some of the skills that are transferable to any professional work setting.

The main task of my internship was to gain more experience and knowledge of our respective field. Overall, the experience proved to be both enjoyable and rewarding. During this internship I used the skills that I learned from my Medical Assistant class and used them in the real world scenarios at the hospital. Also while I there I was exposed to new experiences. Such as performing Urine test on Drug and alcohol patients. For this procedure I had to stand in the restroom with the patient's and watch them urinate into a cup. I had to stand in the restroom with the patients because in the past they try and cheat the system. For example
The world is filled with different kinds of people who can learn information in different ways. Many people can learn simply through being taught in a traditional classroom with the help from textbooks. Of course, there are many other ways to learn new material. However, I strongly feel that actually observing work and seeing all the angles of work being performed can be more beneficial to a person. Internships can help people or students see and learn what they could not in a traditional class setting. They can also give students a better understanding of what their future profession might involve. It is very difficult to learn concepts until a person is able to see or experience them for his or herself.

I also planed to gain experienced and knowledge form volunteering at the ASANTE Ashland Community Hospital and use that understanding for future reference. By the end of my internship I’m hoping to find the right department of Nursing for me.
I am ready to challenge myself to learn the dynamics of how a large company works and communicates along with exploring new fields in STEM.

No matter what career in the area of STEM I chose to go into, I know that communication, technical skills and business management will be necessary skills to have to provide quality results. I look forward to listening to, learning from, and leading
