Pediatric Rotations

In actuality, veterans continue to face barriers on their process for resocialization. Despite the effort that society puts in to ease such transition veterans find difficulty adapting to modern society due to a warfare identity. The military trains its veterans with the purpose to make them stronger in personality as well as to teach them how to control their emotions. Veterans are force to assimilate the military culture by detaching from their very own self-identity prior to the military. The identity that has been created by the military is also responsible for the negative stigma that our veterans’ currently suffer in today’s society. They are often portray as, murderous and violent. These traits are not strictly related to combat, but

The subject of this book has affect my life by serving as a reality check of what my Marine predecessors went through in order for me to be able to obtain the deep-rooted fighting tactics today.

Also, as the patient advocate for children with disability at Connectikids, I have come to appreciate that nothing is more valuable and satisfying than taking care of the health needs of children on the spectrum. This experience only confirms my lifetime commitment to becoming a Physician

Kristen said she tried calling to follow up on the report which was made by Becca by called CPS in Forrest County. However, Kristen said there were no Social Workers there for her to speak with regarding the report.

Kristen also said there is history documented in the family’s hospital

At the core of every Soldier or Veteran is a family that is influenced by their service. Nowhere is more evident of this service and sacrifice, than

This clinical rotation differs from my previous OB rotation last semester. I did my OB rotation at St. Anthony Hospital and compared to it, OU Children’s Hospital is different. At St. Anthony, we don’t have much opportunity to see the birth of a baby, but here at the OU Children Hospital, the first thing I walked in is either in the middle of labor or that a labor is about to happen. This may due to the month. I assume that there are more babies born in June than in May. On my first day, my preceptor and I took care of a patient with hematoma as a result from giving birth. This patient lost more than 500cc of blood. We massaged her fundus and straight cath her. Finally, we insert a Foley catheter. At once point, when the midwife checked her and massaged the patient’s fundus, a tennis ball size blood clot flew out of her vagina. I was surprised and amazed. She massaged it again and more blood clots shot out, almost missed the end of the bed and flew to the floor. From this experience, I learned not to stand at the bottom of the bed when someone is giving someone a fundus massage. This is an interesting sight and I would never expect to see something like this to happen.

19 August 2003. That was the date on which I joined the military. That was also the year the United States invaded Iraq. I, like many, joined the military to serve my country. I remember arriving at basic training and I felt that I was prepared for the training and punishment I was going to receive. After all, I had watched war movies such as Major Payne, Full Metal Jacket, and Forrest Gump. I honestly believed I would be cleaning floors with a toothbrush, living in an open hut with fifty other soldiers, and being yelled at constantly. What I experienced in my opinion, was an easy basic training. Do what you’re told and be where you needed to be and you would be fine. After basic training, I remember arriving to my unit and standing at parade rest for Specialists and above. I remember doing what I was told, no questions asked. I remember

Our country stands upon the foundation of sacrifice. Within my cohort, there are those who will continue to sacrifice beyond what they owe for the betterment of their countrymen. I swore an oath to deliver a payment on the debt owed toward their behalf and at the age of 18 earned the honor to serve in the Medical Enlisted Corps. The perseverance to uphold one’s commitments bears tremendous weight in my family. When I speak to remaining family veterans who have carried the torch of combat hardship, they ask where my path leads.

As the United States’ military involvement in Iraq and Afghanistan continues to decrease, more military members are beginning to transition back into civilian life, and for a large number of these individuals, this means

“I can’t remember a time when I wasn’t interested in working with children, even when I was very young,” she said. Naturally, when she began studying medicine, it was Pediatrics that drew her in. “Children are just the best – they want to get better, they want to get back

A time when I provided excellent patient care would be when I had my clinical rotation in the special care nursery. I was assigned to a baby who was going through withdrawal. On this day particular the baby was agitated more so than in the past. It seemed as if nothing was going to sooth this baby. We had given all the medications we could, fed him, changed him, rocked him, even moved him to a secluded room for minimal simulation, and still nothing would suffice. As it can be difficult trying to comfort and care for a baby going through withdrawal in the back of my mind I knew there had to be something out there that could sooth him even if it was just for a little while. So I started out by instead of rocking him sitting down, I rocked him

Until 1992 and the death of my father, I was numb to the injury. I simply established boundaries like a band aid. To prevent the outside world from causing further injury, I joined the U. S. civil defense and went through National Guard officer’s school, and began the study of

Working with children with special needs can be challenging but yet rewarding. My experience April 17, 2016 was invaluable. I had the chance to work with a group of remarkable children. The children were happy to have someone listen to them, play with them and show a caring spirit. This respite event gave me the chance to take a glimpse in the lives of children with disabilities. I was also able to see that the simple things in life that I often take for granted, were difficult for some of the children at the event. Simple things such as walking, talking and being able to go to the bathroom freely. Nursing is a caring profession and this respite event allowed us to display a caring spirit. The smile on the children’s faces made waking up early on a Saturday morning worth it. I was able to see the huge responsibilities that the caregivers of these
