Personal Narrative: A Career As A Community Assistant

If I were to go into a career in the criminal justice field, I would look into the juvenile justice system. One opportunity to work in the juvenile justice system would be a resident youth worker. This job includes providing safety, security, custodial care, discipline, and guidance to kids who are being held in the facility. A resident youth worker also plays a critical role in the rehabilitation of youth and, therefore, can have a great impact on a juveniles success during and after their incarceration.

In this article a young, certified nursing assistant failed to follow the guidelines in properly transporting the resident into her bed. Sadly, the resident ended up falling and receiving bruises, and black eyes due to the negligence of the nursing assistant. Rather than getting the resident help right away she asked a coworker to lie for her and say she had helped her, in order to keep her out of trouble. The co-worker didn’t follow through with the lie and the nursing assistant ended up losing her job and is facing charges of a class e felony, and a misdemeanor, also losing her certification. Griffith, G. (2015, June 3rd) Nursing home aide arrested, arraigned for allegedly neglecting elderly resident.

Having been a certified nursing assistant for just about six years I have had many experiences and come into contact with countless people who have touched my life and inspired me to become greater; to become a nurse. Co-workers, patients, patient family members and my own friends and family have always told me to pursue a career as a registered nurse. A very special co-worker of mine, Kathy a registered nurse, inspired me every day I came into work. She always had a smile on her face, she was always the first nurse to rush to help, she would listen to the patients and take the time to talk to them, and she treated every patient that came on our unit with care. Kathy would also take the time to answer questions that any of the CNAs had and

The blood pooled around and decorated the pavement. My left leg pinned in the kneeling position, as my right leg laid twisted and mangled. I yelled once, and then regained my composure. The sounds of the woman that hit me echoed through the country landscape that surrounded us, and I gazed off into the field in front of me. I remember thinking “This is how I die”. With seconds feeling like minutes, I quickly decided, “My story is not over”. I immediately fell into meditation, practicing deep breath. I followed through a list of coping skills I frequently taught at my job in a mental health hospital. I reflected on lessons of crisis intervention and therapy techniques searching for a way to fight through this tragic event. I tried not to talk to anyone, wanting to conserve my energy, but I could not help but fight the pain with sarcasm and humor. As the EMT arrived I kindly asked for morphine and surprised everyone that I was joking and smiling, despite the

When working as a health unit coordinator some of my my duties is to transcribe doctor orders, process doctor orders, make appointments for clients, order supplies as needed. When I am working as a nursing assistant my job requires me to bathe and dress patients, take vital signs, serve meals, set up medical equipment, answer call lights as needed, observe changes in clients

“Letto diciassette!” I froze at the sound of “bed seventeen,” and watched with horror as the Italian nurse ran into my grandmother’s hospital room. The monitors were beeping out of control, yet my heart seemed to be beating even faster and louder. I stood at the end of the dimly lit hall, shaking and unable to move. A health care provider spotted me standing there, desperate, alone, and vulnerable, and made her way over to comfort me. The feelings I experienced next are what I remember most when I look back on that dark and gloomy day in Italy. The feelings of hope, reassurance and genuine kindness. The feeling that a missing piece of my heart had been put back where it belonged. That is what I remember most and that is the role I want to fill as a physician assistant.

It was very exciting to see the Administrative Secretary job posting last spring at Twindly Bridge Charter School! Then I was even more excited to receive a phone call from Mr. Weetman offering the position. Now, I’m ever more engaged and everyday amazed by the dedicated families of Twindly Bridge.

Currently I am a volunteer care giving assistant to a young family who's father has stage four cancer. At the times when the parents of this family have to take trips to Indianapolis for treatment they will call me. My job is to look after their two children while they are unable too. I consider my main job to be easing the minds of the parents, I want them to know that their children are in good hands so they do not have to worry about anything more than what they already are.

During my six months as a Clerical Assistant II, I have upheld the professional standards, confidence and faith that our citizenry has placed in this unit to uncover any and all records relating to their issues and questions to full exhaustion of department resources.

When my aunt asked if I wanted to help at the nursing home, I mainly went because I was bored. When I arrived, I helped the residents play bingo and I even painted a few nails. Even though it does not sound like a lot, I realized on that day how much I loved helping others and how I couldn’t wait to volunteer again.

My family and I moved to Florida from New York in 2011 so my husband could pursue his career as an Electrician. I have been a stay-at-home mom for the last five years and now that my youngest child in is school full-time I am ready to return the workforce and I want to begin a career in Residential Real Estate Sales. In 2007, I worked for Niagara Frontier Funding and Realty as a Real Estate Assistant in Lockport, NY. I performed many duties such as handling incoming and outgoing mail, answering phones, scheduling appointments, faxing, filing, gathering information from potential buyers and sellers, hosting open houses, and attending monthly sales meetings. I also obtained my Real Estate License while working there. In less than a year, I was

Well the doctor office I normally go, they are nice and polite. I never have problems when I go there. The last time I went which was a couple months ago, the lady at front desk was very unprofessional. She had her pants unbuttoned, playing her music loud, and she was popping her gum. I never seen her before because I usually go earlier in the day. I was very disgusted. The whole time I was talking to her I was thinking is she serious. I could not believe she really like that at her job. I wanted to tell somebody who could do something about it but I did not want to go through some whole extra stuff. I was very amazed that she was hired on though. As a medical assistant, I would make sure I had my hair pulled back and my scrubs were clean and

For seven years, while I was going to school to obtain my Master’s Degree in Psychology, I was a personal assistant for friends, family, mentors, and their referrals. I have always enjoyed helping people in any aspect, whether it was organizing their home or office or listening to people’s wants or problems. I have found that compassion, empathy, mixed with the appropriate humor is one of the best forms of psychological remedies (Davies, 2013). While working as a personal assistant, I was referred to help organize a well-known psychologist firm in the area. Since I completed the paper filing assignment ahead of the end date, they found additional duties, such as maintaining their data and filing system on their computer system and moved one

The family lab is an important to learn because it will be helpful, when entering into the Social Work field. It has helped me in my internship and will help me in my future work. The Dyad and the family labs have allowed Bachelor level students understand what therapy will look like in individual, couples, family and group sessions. In the engagement session, I felt nervous because I have no experience in family counseling. Consequently, I used the tools I learned in the Dyad exercises and applied them to the family lab. As a soon to be Social Worker, it is important to recognize my strengths and weaknesses. To continue improving my strengths by tapping into additional resources. To recognize my weaknesses and learn how to improve them.

I was starting a new job in one of the best and biggest law firms in the state. I was so proud of myself. I put on my favorite black skirt and a new blouse I brought just to show off my tits. I mean if any more cleavage showed you would see my nipples. I put on a pair of stockings; it was way too hot for pantyhose. Then I pulled my hair up into a ponytail, put on my 3-inch spiked heels and a sweater. I buttoned my sweater to the top as I got out of my car and entered the building.
