Practicum 3 Reflective Report

In summary, this course has really educated my view of being a teacher as well as being able to interact with today’s diverse and fluctuating educational setting. Therefore, the discussions were very good ways in understanding how

I have been a Resident Assistant (RA) for about five weeks. Training to be a RA was tiring but very educational. I learned how to handle multiple situations that could happen with me being RA. After training, it was a series of task that I had to complete as a RA. Those task included: completing forty-four Room Inventory Form, putting in fix it tickets, etc.

Three years ago, I was first introduced to the Student National Pharmaceutical Association. The mission of serving the underserved was something that resonated with me strongly as a lack of resources early on in life made the local pharmacist my family’s main point of access to medical care. For this reason, I gained a strong passion to serve the community through SNPhA. Early on, I sought out mentors within the organization. These mentors taught me a great deal about the organization, leadership, and growth. Recently, I got the opportunity to serve on the executive team as our chapters Historian. Working as a part of the executive team has given me insight into this amazing organization at the local level, while allowing me to hone my communication

My most challenging concern is finding a place to implement my Capstone project. I thought about using my local library, but getting nurses to come maybe a problem. Right now I am on medical leave from my hospital, therefore I cannot get the hospital involve. My potential resources are my two friends that have experience in teaching. One friend is a nursing instructor and another friend once taught in a LPN nursing program. Most of my nursing jobs required me to talk to a large group of people during our interdisciplinary team meetings. I had to discuss patients’ cases with the interdisciplinary team. In my class, as a part of a teaching exercise, I want to talk about documented case studies regarding culture and have students talk about

I am writing with regard to Research Assistant, Technical Staff or Technician (Stem Cell Biology and Regenerative Medicine) advertised on website. Please find attached my Curriculum Vita, which shows I have the necessary qualifications and experience in the workplace.

On Wednesday 15th June, 2016, I had the opportunity to attend the Doctoral Colloquium at the Barry University .It was a day event for Nursing DNP and PhD students it provided me a forum to meet, greet and share research ideas, explore each other individual scholarly identities, and think about ways to chart a path for our academic careers. It was an interactive day which was led By Dr. Teddie M. Potter, and the event was well planned by Chair Dr. Jessie M. Colin and the Nursing team at Barry University.

To add feedback from my mentor via the 360 tool further demonstrated my effectiveness. Comments stated I had excellent communication skills, where I presented myself well and requested permission to complete care, which in line with the NMC demonstrated I gained informed consent that was documented before any action was undertaken (NMC, 2015). I would however in future practice ensure I indicated that I am a student nurse, as this illustrates I am proficient when working within my professional boundaries.

“To embark on a journey towards your goals and dreams require bravery. To remain on that path requires courage. The bridge that merges the two requires commitment.” This is a direct quote from Dr. Steve Maraboli. As a ponder on this quote, I begin to reflect on my own journey towards a master’s degree in Educational Counseling. My journey towards graduate school began in 2011. Around that time, I have been in my position as a Graduate Program Assistant for about a year. As a Graduate Program Assistant, my responsibilities consisted of assisting prospective graduate students with the admissions applications, and advising current graduate students with the degree program requirements. Although I was very knowledgeable and excelled at my job, it occurred to me that I was promoting graduate education, yet I myself did not have a master’s degree. A graduate education can only

I enjoyed identifying and communicating with patients eligible for clinical research studies. My goal was to help create and administer protocols to improve health outcomes, an important dimension of health care in a fast-paced Emergency Department (ED). While conversing with a diverse population of patients, I strengthened my interpersonal skills and learned how to react to adverse situations. My dedication towards improving their wait time and experience in the ED led my supervisors to nominate me as Chief Research Associate of a study aimed to enhance the discharge process. I learned effective leadership and teamwork while working with twenty peers to implement the study’s

This was a follow-up consultation but with a different student practitioner from the one the patient had seen before. The practitioner had to fill in a few gaps of details missing from previous consultation, and with the patient being in a rush, the practitioner was very clear and concise with what needed to be done. During the consultation, the practitioner picked up on the patient’s sniffles. Several times she also asked the patient if there is anything else she would like to talk about, and if it feels like they have covered everything. Seeing this student practitioner working with patients always inspires me. Her way of showing genuine interest and making sure the patient feels heard and cared for is something that I want to learn. This

Before I participated in the practical application service I was very nervous and worried that I would no do well. Although I was nervous I knew if I was going to make mistakes that this was the time and place to make them because it would allow me time to work on and improve my skills. This was a great experience and it gave me a better idea of what being a counsellor will be like. Learning about the eight skills that Young (2017) outlines was great, but putting them into practice and determining whether or not I fully grasp and understand how to use these skills was most helpful. The group I worked with also added to this learning experience as they were very supportive and informative about my strengths which helped me to identify my weaknesses and which skills need more work.

From time segment 4:00 to 5:10 (video 1), I use Socratic questioning to promote deeper level thinking and understanding about standing waves in one medium. During this time segment, I asked a student to tell me what his data suggested. The student responded that his data suggested that the wave speeds should be equal. His response was accurate; however, I had him expand the answer by asking him to tell me why his wave speeds were supposed to be the same. The student thought about it and realized that the medium–a long spring–was always the same; this made his answer better, and he then understood that waves in the same medium propagate with the same speed regardless of frequency and wavelength changes. I took advantage of the situation and

My learning started over twenty years ago when I attended college at UWEC. There is so much about that time that I do not remember. However, one class that made an impression on me was introduction to psychology. This class was all lecture. We did not do any projects. It was in this class that I was introduced to Sigmund Freud. I have to say that his theories of human behavior and interactions are intriguing. Psychology, sociology, and oral and interpersonal communications taught me how to interact with people from a wide variety of backgrounds. In my profession as a nurse, trust is vital in order to obtain information to help patients. I work in OBGYN, many times these patients are having to discuss the most intimate aspects of their

Effective education refers to a combination of theoretical and practical experience to assist student’s competencies that are essential for starting a career in health and

As expected, the teaching practicum course was full of learning opportunities and prepared me for the future teaching jobs. The course gave me a closer look at various aspects course development and implementation. I was thoroughly involved in developing course objectives, syllabus, learning activities, assignments, and quizzes. I also graded assignments and maintained ongoing communication with students. Therefore, the course was able to provide me hands-on experience on all aspects of teaching graduate students. In addition, the course also provided me opportunities to resolve scheduling, assignment, and grading conflicts with students. The gradual release of responsibility during this course helped me to develop confidence in my teaching abilities as well in interactions with students.
