My Experience At The Center

My work day began the night before my shift started, as I received an email from my supervisor and was pleased to see my favorite patients on my list. Anna was scheduled first on my itinerary. She had become a quadriplegic after a serious fall down a flight of steps. Next was Mr. William, who was dying of a brain tumor. This man had the best attitude towards life, and always kept me laughing. My last patient of the day was Mrs. Patsy. She was very dear to my heart, and I had grown very close to the family, because I had been seeing her for over six months. Every time I walked into Mrs. Patsy house, she wanted an update and recent pictures of my children. It is unusual to have everyone agree on the scheduled time, but this warm summer evening was the exception. Tomorrow’s schedule was looking great and I was ready to get some rest.

Intervention: Ms. Smalls (MHP), Santonias and Ms. Givens (MHS) discussed Santonias complying with the rules of the home. MHP and Santonias had a discussing about his NFL football team as a way to build rapport. MHP requests feedback on possible goals from Santonias and MHS for Individual Plan of Care. MHP, Santonias and MHS discuss and process an incident that happened at the school’s gym.

When I began my journey with the Human Services Department at Lindsey Wilson College, I only knew one thing – I knew that I wanted to help people. Since I was a young girl, I have had a passion to help others, but passion alone just wasn’t enough. Passion without the understand of how to use it can actually cause more harm than good. This program taught me how to use my passion and my experiences along with education to help others.

Today was a usual day. When I came in this morning, Mary was on the phone with the patient who had concussion last week. She was following up with her, whether she went to see her family physician or not. She denied, she still has headache, nausea and low appetite. She agreed to go to see her doctor today. I learned a new thing about the university students. A lot of times the students will come with some kind of fake sickness, just to get a note to skip classes. They are adult, if they want to skip classes, it is their problem, Mary gives the note, if they need.

Third week into clinical. So far, things are slowly improving, however I do need to work on critical thinking and being less task oriented. I had my very own patient. The clinical objective was to be able to perform a successful health assessment on a patient and to identify factors in the environment that would impact patient care. Hopefully from there, my critical thinking skills will develop through experience and to fill my concept map thoroughly. On Tuesday, my patient was an older gentleman who came in with destruction of the liver due to medication. When caring for my patient, I made sure that he received everything that he wanted. I felt that I did well in that aspect for seeking good for the patient. I was told to get his good and make his bed. I don’t know why making his bed didn’t occur in the beginning. But, I learned that in the beginning, it’s important to make sure that the environment is clean, their bed is made, and ask if they needed a show. The important thing that I received from this is asking yourself what would you want the nurse to do if you were the patient. One thing I do realize is that my ability to work with patients and communicate with them with some baseline knowledge is good. With these, I am able to be more confident in my work. But, I do need to work on looking at the full picture when gathering information from the patient. I tend to overlook things but I will improve by realizing my failures.

I entered many of their rooms and held conversations with the residents. I lend a hand setting up for lunch. I wheeled people to their perspective rooms, asking them how lunch was. I carried a conversation with the residents individually in their perspective rooms. I went back, and I took more of the residents in their room. I assisted in taking them to their rooms and I had conversations with all of them. I sat in the television room and spoke to all of the residents there. On Wednesday, I passed out coloring books, and I helped some of the residents outline the coloring books and pages. Afterwards, I helped clean up, and I assisted Irma in taking the coloring books and colors. I helped the residents set up by putting a plastic cover on the table. I looked for images that they would like, for example cats, dogs, and flowers. I interacted with the residents and had conversations with each person coloring. I helped put away the coloring materials, and lend a hand setting up for lunch. I wheeled people to their rooms, asking them how lunch was. I carried a conversation with the residents individually in their perspective rooms. I went back, and I took more of the residents in their room.

I volunteered at the 12th Man Foundation Distinguished Dinner Event to learn more about Texas A&M University culture. A&M is one of the most prestigious public schools in the nation. It is known for teaching and training students to become capitalists in this industrial society we live in. It is also known for one of its core values, selfless service. To learn more about this particular core value, I completed fieldwork using a model known as participant-observation.

My internship at Damascus Outreach Association in Gates County, North Carolina where I worked five days a week for an average of thirty to forty hours a week, took place between May and August 2016. Established in 2008, Damascus Outreach Association is a 501c3 non-profit organization that has served over one hundred children and families through intensive academic tutoring enrichment, and mentoring activities (Damascus Outreach, 2016). It is considered the only free program available in Gates County that creates an environment where children from low-income families who are vulnerable to develop risky behaviors can engage in activities that help them develop into productive citizens and look at themselves as constructive members of the community. In order to serve children better in the community, the organization

Since the age of 13, I’ve suffered from severe depression and social anxiety, so I found it challenging to interact with most other people. Because of this, the initial excitement that I felt about going to the hospital wore off and it began to seem like more and more of a burden. I was at what was quite possibly one of my lowest points when my teacher placed me in the Community Living Center.

This paper describes Carly’s service learning project in which she spent twenty hours volunteering at the Alachua County Humane Society (ACHS). She worked with dogs and cats, caring for them until they were adopted into forever homes. She also formed relationships with fellow volunteers, specifically one from the same Family, Youth, and Community Sciences (FYCS) program at the University of Florida. In this paper, Carly’s feelings about the service learning in which she participated will be discussed, as well as how her actions in helping animals find homes benefitted the community. The benefits of her actions are backed up with research done by Dr. James E. Gern and an article published in Parents Magazine. Relationships between what she’s learned in her Principles of Family, Youth, and Community Sciences class will be examined, along with her feelings about her experience at the ACHS.

I am not merely observing to gather information for this research. This close interaction with students allows me to obtain first-hand responses, reactions and feedbacks from the students on real time. Although I interact with all students, my main focus is on students with special with disabilities. Hence, they are the focus of my research. My observation stems beyond my personal interaction with students. I also observe interactions between students. This also lets me view from a different perspective and point of view.

Then campers trekked to Clinical Research Center where Ann Miller, a nurse manager, greeted them. Some of campers asked Ann how she became a nurse and she answered in great detail. Two campers were delighted to volunteer to demonstrate how blood pressure machine worked. They saw special kitchen where food for patients were stored. Talking about food made campers hungry. Before they knew it, it was lunch

I asked the patients, if they needed help and what they prefer to eat first etc….
