My Practicum Experience

Please explain how your past personal and professional experience make you a quality candidate for the position for which you are applying.

I feel this statement to be very spot-on. Summer was the time of the year when I sat down with a notepad and tried to figure out what I did wrong and the things I could have handled better. I went back to school in September a little bit wiser. I feel that this self-evaluation played a major role in shaping me into the person I am today.

Coming into my second year of high school I was so tired the first day of school not wanting to get up just wanting to sleep forever and not having to worry about school. Unfortunately living in a Mexican household that was not an option. So forcing myself out of bed and heading to school I could say I was productive over the summer. When Mr. Jarashow asked me what I had done over my summer I told him I finished all my community services hours. This helped me grow as a global citizen by taking action because I devoted my time to helping out at my local food bank (valley food bank) by helping hand out food to those who needed it, during my time at the food bank I meet a lot of new people. They shared their reason of being there and some valuable

An experience that has greatly influenced my understanding of the world has been my participation in Florida Atlantic University’s Pine Jog Fellowship. The Pine Jog Fellowship is a three-semester program that focuses on environmental improvement and education. In the Pine Jog Fellowship I have had the opportunity to develop my own environmental service projects that would benefit my community. During one semester of my fellowship, I coordinated beach clean-ups for Lake Worth Beach. I recruited over sixty people and collectively, we recycled and threw away over one hundred pounds of trash off of Lake Worth Beach. I also spoke to local fishermen and educated them on the dangers of throwing monofilament fishing line into the ocean. During the

I just want to let you know that I have not been granted access to you computer system yet. According to STEP 5, I am supposed to receive an email from your MCIT department trough an umich.edu account. However, I don’t have an umich.edu account. Also, I have not received a signed ID Request Form for a MCard ID badge.

The practicum experience is at Communities at Indiana Haven. It is mainly a long-term home facility. It has three units: rehabilitation unit, Alzheimer unit, and resident long-term home unit. Staff enter each unit using their cards and they have to make sure that each door is closed behind them. For the three units, there are two RNs working during the day-shifts, while only one RN working at the night-shifts. Also during the day there are six LPNs and nine nursing assistants. At night, there are four LPNs and five nursing assistants. Moreover, to be admitted to this community, patients have to meet certain criteria. For example, Indiana Haven does not accept patients who need tracheostomy care or nasogastric tubes because of the decrease number

Every week in this class we discussed and explored ways in which we (as humans) are able to ecologically restore the Earth and contribute to environmental sustainability in different ways and on different subjects such as oceans and agriculture. This class teaches and equips students with information on the downsides and effects of what we are currently doing that negatively impacts the environment but also to contribute to fixing the problems through environmental restoration. For example, the volunteer project I worked on had many end goals including cleaning the surrounding water, prevent soil erosion, and restoring the park

Last semester as part of my Service Learning requirement I worked with a few other students on the topic of sustainability. We met with Teresa Sidwell from the Benton County Environment Division and she spoke with us about how to be more sustainable. We volunteered in the community by cleaning roads and working at a recycling event in Benton County.

First of all, I would like to say plan ahead. so, you can manage your time and you do not put yourself in overwhelming situations. I had a Circumstances that force me to stop going to school for a month, and that put me in stress because I try to complete the reminder hours in these upcoming two weeks. The second things, take an advantage of bing with an expert team. the teacher has 21 years experiences in the education field. I observe her during her interaction with children and other adults. I really learn a lot from her. It is a good opportunity for me. She is really helpful. She gave me an advice when I need it, answer my questions,

I have been fortunate enough to have a variety of supervisors in my practicum placements. I had several female supervisors and one male supervisor who have all contributed to my training. The books and discussions in class brought up a discussion that I have never thought about before, which was the gender of the supervisor. However, one thing that I could say with certainty is that gender does play a role in the way supervisors conceptualize things. At my practicum there are gender misunderstanding that occur. The questions that are asked to me are different and more geared towards possible sexual countertransference, which makes me feel like I am treated with “kid gloves”. From my point of view there is a gender misunderstanding because

For my practicum experience I am currently located at Joe DiMaggio Children’s Hospital on the 4th floor pediatric inpatient rehabilitation floor. My floor is used for intense therapy including physical, occupational, and speech therapy. All patients we receive count as a new admission and must have special pre-authorization from their insurance. They also must require two types of therapy or more. Patients that come to our unit range from lower level to a higher level of care. Most of our patients switch off of intravenous medication one to two days after admission. Our unit can take a maximum of 6 patients, although we usually have around 3.

Compared to common clinical experience my exposure to clinical practice was different. Aside from the shadowing opportunities that I’ve pursued, the bulk of my clinical experience was as a volunteer at New Walk Medical Center in Norfolk, VA. There I volunteered under the direction of general practitioner, Dr. James Newby, and nurse practitioner, Mrs. Newby. Mrs. Newby drafted and published a system where health care professionals could monitoring and control the diabetes of their patients. This system of care was comprised of three portions done in group settings. The first was an informational session that explained what diabetes was to the patients the dynamics of diabetes, how to navigate through food labels, and choose the best foods in

My personal journey in this practicum experience has been an eventful one. Once I started to get comfortable and had things down pact, it is all done with. It began with the curriculum writing project in which we were instructed to plan lessons for students that we did not have any background information on such as, prior knowledge on content or their abilities and it was rather challenging. It felt as if I was never done writing the CWP. The moment I thought that I was done writing the CWP, I had to make further changes. In the end, I learned to appreciate the CWP. Once I was in the classroom and started interacting with the students, I realized that my CWP was not developmentally appropriate for my targeted audience and the process of writing the CWP all started to make

The IR stated that the unit's field experience requirements are sequenced to align with PDE recommendations. There are four stages of field experience:
