Odp Personal Statement

For this essay I will be reflecting on the influences on, how the role of the operating department practitioner (ODP) has developed within the multi-professional healthcare team. I will also be discussing in this text some of the historical, political, legal, social, and cultural influences of the ODP. And I will be reflecting on my personal experience working within the operating department for the first time as a student, using the Gibbs cycle (1988.).

The aim of this reflective essay is to evaluate my professional development whilst undertaking the role of the Developing Intra-Operative Practitioner/ Advanced Scrub Practitioner (ASP). Using a reflective model I want to see how my new role affects me as an Operating Department Practitioner (ODP) and any legal implications it has for me as an employee.

This was a very intestine department because I became proficient in very sick patients and interpreting telemetry strips. I develop more interest in advancing my nursing career and helping people get medical help. I realized that my nursing profession is not just a job but also a passion for helping people make an impact in their lives. To better help people, advancing my knowledge will give me an opportunity to understand sick patients, their need, and a better way to assist them with their health problems.

I believe that Governors Honors Program is an amazing opportunity every student dreams of being a part of. Receiving a nomination, in and of itself, is an extreme compliment and achievement. Personally, I am very interested in the program because social sciences are a great passion of mine, and I would love to have the opportunity to further my knowledge and love of history. GHP also gives participants an early exposure to the college environment. It allows individuals to experience college in every aspect of living on campus to the actual college classes. In every single way, GHP is an amazing opportunity that I would be greatly honored to be a part of.

My goal in life has always been to work and provide for myself and children. I was brought into the fostercare system at the age of 13, I had my first daughter when I was 16 I have raised her on my own with no help from her father or any family. The only supports I've had was through childrends aid, after having my 2nd child at 19 I applied for OSDP due to a heart conditon and a mild learning disability. I have been on ODSP since 2012 and I want nothing more then to be able to get off government assistance and become a contributing member of scociety. I currently have no support system, I was "discharged" from crown ward at the age of 21 so I have been doing everything on my own for me and my two children. Due to not having any finacial help

operate as a service provider. From this I will be able to gain a greater understanding of patient care. This collaboration between disciplines and the resulting improvement for the patient was identified by Hill (2006). Since I have started working within the NHS over the last year, I have had more opportunities to work with members of different professions both in the NHS and voluntary sector. This experience has helped me develop a better understanding of how patient care is made up of a multitude of smaller parts.

There are several reasons why I chose to further my education in the medical field. The experience that I gained was very valuable as a LARA - Nurse Aide. Among the things that I’ve learned include OBRA and OSHA regulations. This is important because it helped me to complete my job optimally on a daily basis. I really enjoy helping others and becoming a CNA was the first step of my medical career with 51 CNA classes. Moreover, I have increased my income and today I have the career of my dreams.

Despite the challenges, this facilitating experice has instilled me a degree of appreciation of many staff who work hard behind the scene to ahcieve the common goal of providing the best care possible to patients within the scarce resources. It was possible to see how good working relationship with other disciplines can improve overall efficiency.

Analysing data during biology and maths lessons has helped improve my interpretation and analytical skills. Studying A level maths has improved my problem solving skills, which will come into use for the problem based learning element of the degree course. Furthermore, my Health and Social Care course has taught me essential communication skills needed to

The first time I stepped foot in the operating room it felt like it was a fantasy. I would see operating rooms in many different shows on television but I never thought that I could find myself in one until medical school. However, the Pre-Healthcare Program partnered me with an extraordinary mentor that allowed me to come into the operating room and into patient rooms so often that I felt that I was part of the medical team. Soon after starting the program I became accustomed to being in the operating room and in the hospital itself. I learned my way around the hospital especially floor 5, which is where I spent most of my time. I met incredible individuals such as my mentor Dr. Burch who continues to serve as a great mentor, Dr. Wayne Lee who I greatly thank for his detailed explanations and drawings of the surgical procedures performed, and some researchers that gave me incredible advice on my future endeavors. Dr. Ader the associate director of the Diabetes and Obesity Research Institute is one individual I had the incredible pleasure to speak to. She spoke to me of my already increasing interest in diabetes and obesity and spoke to me about the nonlinear path of life. She encouraged me to seek out any opportunities that arise even if I believe that I am not interested in that moment, since any exposure to a different path other than what I visualize in my future can either inspire a passion or teach me something invaluable.

I’m a Georgian. I have a degree in engineering, which i used to work in my country (Republic of Georgia) for 4 years. I came to the United State in 1998. When I came here I did different jobs to take care of my family. In 2008 I decided to become a caregiver in 2008. Being a caregiver is something that I love doing because I love to help. I like this job because I am able to contribute my time and energy in the lives of people that needs help. Throughout my years of working as a caregiver, I have helped my patients with everything they request and make sure they are comfortable. I am very honest person, trustworthy, patient and very dependable. One special thing I did for my client was one day I stayed awake all night to make sure my client was safe. I called for emergency when situation got worse and handled the situation as a cared caregiver. I waited until in the morning, when I called the family to inform them about their father’s condition. When I am not working, I really love to watch any type of sports.

I have the capabilities to adapt and adjust in any given situation, and to work effectively in a team or as an individual. with experience I have gained the ability to understand the foundations of providing quality client care and to then develop these skills further with guidance and training. I am a

Courses like Biology and Chemistry have helped me develop vital practical skills in the laboratory such as conducting multiple tests, eliminating variables that might affect the experiment, collecting data, and analyzing it to produce useful information. I truly enjoyed experiments that allowed us to build our confidence as an indiviual. One such project was a cat dissection where I had to explore the different joints and organs. I found that the deeper I got in, the m I have also gained critical thinking skills and the ability to properly make arguments from courses like Mathematics and English.

Since my critical qualities is to care and nurture, I took important aspect to continue a career in the health and my purpose for a career in

My favorite academic subject would be history because there are so many historical events to learn about and I’m always curious on how the U.S functioned in the past. It has influenced me because every unit we go through in history class it gets me interested and want to learn more about it. The thing I hate is when we are learning something and the bell rings. Everyday I walk through the door and I am ready to learn something new. And what I like about that class is that I never get bored. Moreover, It's exciting because the events and historical people we get to learn about are inspiring. Like for example in history class I learn about Martin Luther King an African American who fought for their Civil Rights for his own race. He fought for their liberty and no matter what the other race did to him and the people around him, he still kept fighting for his and the others rights. For some reason he didn't just get the civil rights for him, but it also helped other races. After all, I love history because I get to learn how societies functioned, how people interacted with each other, how governments were run, and about the cultures of countries I usually have never been to before. Another reason why I love history is that it answers a lot more questions than I originally thought it would. For me, it's like exploring a world I've never been to, or can't go to. This are the things that make me want to learn more about because the people in our history book are historic and they
