Nuclear Pharmacist Summary

Studying at the West-Mec Pharmacy Technician program will eventually help me reach my long term goal of becoming a hospital pharmacist. This program will give me the benefit of hands-on training and will teach me the necessary skills that are required for a pharmacy technician. I want to have a career as a pharmacist in the future and I understand that becoming a pharmacy technician is not required, but it is a huge benefit. Pharmacists dispense medication and other remedies. They need to understand the importance of doses, allergens and other chemical reactions that may cause harm to the patients. Because of this, pharmacists are important to the medical field. I chose a pharmacist as my career because I want to ensure that my patients

As the first generation in my family to go to college I learned the importance of education. I graduated from Benedictine University with a Bachelors in Science and an Environment Certificate. I became intregted by pharmacy when I started to spent countless hours at a hospital watching my grandfather go in and out of surgeries and treatments for cancer. Seeing the different medication being handed to him inspired me to understand biological and chemical processes that happened. A Pharmacists, role is to aim to help patients treat illness by introducing new developed treatment of medicines with a range of patients. I began to take special interest in memorizing all my grandfather’s medications and how practical and clinical aspect pharmacy worked.

is essential to any discussion of issues related to current and future pharmacy technicians.[14,15] Policy statements of a numof national pharmacy associations are listed in the appendix. A summary of key events of the past half century follows.

The presentation by Briana Voyer on Legalization of Drugs was well organized, but it still held room for improvement. During the presentation I could not see or hear mention of the history behind the topic, which should have been in the first few slides. Voyer begins with what ways legalization of drugs is bad, and follows with examples as to why. To do this, she made the next slide her data on the subject. Some of the information shared up to this point was false, as I noticed from my per-presentation research. The organization and how the presentation was set up, however, did help make the view persuasive, however, the bullet points contained too much information. When making a power point it is a standard that your bullets should not

Describe five significant points (in detail and complete sentences) that you absorbed from this presentation that is related to what

What is one thing that you taught your patient? Why did you pick this topic? Was your teaching effective? Why or why not? What could you have tried to do differently to be more effective? Did you document your teaching? One thing that I taught my patient was that his opioid medications are what are causing him to be constipated. This topic came up because he mentioned to me that he hasn’t had a bowel movement for a few days now. I notified the nurse about the patient being constipated, as well as, I educated my patient on importance of continuing to notify a nurse about being constipated. My teaching was effective because the patient continued to notify the nurse and received Senna. I thought my teaching was

Her powerpoint appeared cluttered and distracted the audience with the sheer amount of words on each slide. The powerpoint did not offer a clear comprehensive overview of the speech, but rather contained the entire speech on the slides, which overwhelmed the audience with information. Moreover, her first hand account of her withdrawal from sugar was ineffective in persuading her audience to change their habits because she emphasized the negative side effects. When persuading people to make a change, especially one that may have negative short term consequences, it is better to downplay the negativity so people will try it. Although I appreciate her honesty, I would rather have heard how much better she feels from a sugar free life than shaking from

What went well in all of the presented presentation; knowing the information, having an attentive audience, and presenting with confidence. Our first presentation was at the Red Apple adult center, we had props to help clarify the information. Information presented was descriptive to distinguish each section of the presentation. At the end of the presentation, we played a game called spine and show. The did very well by responding to all questions. When it all done and over, we received hugs and a lot of questions about stains on teeth. Another point that worked well during the

Being a nuclear medicine technology means creating images of different area of the patient’s body and preparing radioactive drugs and administer them to patients undergoing the scans. The technologists

In the healthcare field pharmacist will constantly encounter situations were they will have to recommend the most appropriate treatment for a patient. Furthermore, as part of a healthcare team, other professionals will look up to us and expect us to have the knowledge and skills required to make the appropriate decisions and recommendations. It is for this reason that as part of the Integrated Pharmacotherapy: Genitourinary module they incorporate case studies and scenarios that allows us, future pharmacists, to use the knowledge we have gained and through the combination of critical thinking and proper utilization of resources we are able to integrate the most up to date information to answer drug information requests. As part of the class I was assigned to a group to work on a case about a patient that through out her life she needed advice and recommendations for treatment for different

My nuclear pharmacy rotation was a very enjoyable and informational experience through this nuclear medicine program. I feel like I learned a great deal from both Palmetto Health Baptist and Cardinal Health. This rotation gave me a great deal of understanding in what it takes to make, deliver, store and test the radiopharmaceuticals we use every day. In this summary I will explain how to package blood products when they leave the pharmacy, the difference between biohazard and radioactive contamination and how radioactive spills are handled in the pharmacies.

I really enjoys the presentation since it is about elderly patients, especially dementia/Alzhemina patients. I work at a ADH program and we have a couple of clients that have dementia. Some of them have either mild or severed dementia. With the dementia clients, you really have to have a lot of patience with them because they are basically a little kid. Some of them need help with ADL because they do not remember when they would need to go to the bathroom or simply how to feed themselves. We have one specific client who always states that she is over 100 years old whenever we ask her how old she is, but she is only around mid 90s. Although she has dementia, she can walks really fast and even push people. She is very strong for

To analyse the presentation and teamwork I need to be able to understand everyone has different experiences and different ways of working and had their own view on teamwork. My confidence grew as I got to know the team. Giving the presentation has helped me with my confidence, which I will need when I am working in the health care. I have also learned to speak up more and encourage others to take part when they where being quiet and not pulling their weight. It was good to do research using the appropriate methods, looking at journals and professional sites. I managed to hold it together during the presentation in front of everyone. I knew the presentation was not going to go as well has it could due to the lack of practice. The reason I was so nervous was

During the presentation I was very nervous and dislike speaking in front of crowds; I feel I did well simply because I am passionate about the topic. My own evaluation of the experience was overall a positive one. The information presented to the audience was over thirty-minutes, several individuals had questions, primarily regarding the weight loss surgery. However, the next time a teaching experience such as this one is conducted, I feel that a measure to test the audience would be beneficial. I feel like a fun group quiz or a trivia game would have been valuable in testing the audience’s knowledge. The only complaint I have is the time restriction. I had thirty minutes to present an introduction and the power point and feel I could have went more in depth if given more time. Overall, I feel this teaching experience was a success.
