Psy/2201 Reflection

On August 2015, I started the RN-BSN program with the Transition to Professional Nursing as my first course. I took one class at the time because I was working as a full time nurse at the same time. I did not take a break and started a new class each start date because I wanted to complete this program as soon as possible. The journey has been a long, hard road and the stress was constant and many times I felt that I could not complete it; it has been a difficult but very satisfying journey.

My reflections of Chapter 11 of the Corey text discussing Groups in Community Settings, and more specifically working with adult populations, begins with the fact that these populations vary widely and are typically diverse in their makeup. Furthermore, the ability of professional counselors to work with a variety of adult populations utilizing a well-rounded set of clinically effective group experiences, techniques, and skills are paramount to facilitator efficacy. The multitude of diverse populations falling within the category of “adult groups” include, but are not limited to, a) women’s groups, b) men’s groups, c) domestic violence offender groups, d) sex offender groups, e) HIV/AIDS support groups, and f) older adult (elderly) groups

I just want to start off by saying that this is a difficult stepback for me to accept, due to my determination to be the best student that I can possibly be during my academic career. Therefore, when getting the notice that I was on Financial Aid Warning, I felt heartache of disappointment in myself for allowing this to happen near my senior year of attending this university. With that being said, I plan to really take the necessary actions for you all to understand that this is not normal behavior from me and that I will seek the necessary assistance to be successful.

Drafting a final paper allows you to put together all the research you have conducted into one form and analyze it. Until I took this class, I honestly did not know half of the element involved in a proper research paper. I only knew the very basic components and not the fine details. I have learned that the fine details are the most important. Those details are what separates your paper from good to being great.

When I first heard that this assignment would require for is to log the meals that you consumed during a two day period I thought that may I should push it to two weeks. The reasons why I choose two weeks is because it would force me to become more dedicated to the task at hand forcing me to track a week's worth of meals. I would then during the second week force myself to eat from all of the required food groups/ eat the recommend intake and keep track of the proper of all of for a week.

I Miressa brown, was absent from EDUC 7703 social, cultural, and ethical perspectives on June 25, 2015. A few years back my dad was diagnosed with 100% kidney failure. So the morning before class he informed me and my family that he has been urinating blood and was told by the VA hospital that he can't been seen until June, 25. So we make the trip to Augusta and have tons of test done. We were told that they would be getting in touch with us. A week goes by, and we still didn’t hear anything, finally we get a call saying that all the tests were negative and that they really didn’t know what was causing it. Being the responsible person that I am, I informed my job and professors of the issue to determine what I should do about missing that day. On This week in class the focus was gender.

Personally I thought this chapter was a headache. I constantly had to read a page and then reread it. A lot of this information I have head from previous psychology classes, but just reading it was harder to understand rather than having an instructor teach it. I pretty much highlighted the whole book because I thought it was all-important.

I, Flora Ajayi, was dismissed from the Nursing program at The College of New Jersey due to my performance in Principles of Microbiology (BIO 144) and Anatomy & Physiology II (BIO 142 ), which are major Nursing prerequisites. I take responsibility for my academic progressions and understand the consequences and rewards of the Academic realm. The study habits that allowed me to flourish in high school, for example, studying class notes and reviewing a week before the exam, simply did not work in college. This forced me into a state of panic, which led me not to do well in both science classes. Studying effectively in college is different than studying in high school due to the rigor of the course and my attempt to process on a higher academic level. My inability to succeed in the sciences during my spring semester, despite my early success, has allowed for both personal growth and self-reflection while repeating BIO 144 and BIO 142.

My experience that I have learn so far from week four to week six is that catching up with assignments and exams can be a handful if you don’t do it along with the week that was assign to. Otherwise, you would have been able to catch up by now and don’t have to worry about trying to finish everything up before Final. On week four, I have learned how to create a spreadsheet in Google Documents to calculates my grade for this class. In this online class we have 80% in blackboard and Therefore, knowing how to calculate your grades allows you to know where you stand. When you know where you stand you can make decision. You have information which it’s important to know where you stand to know how to pass this class. Through discussion board week

Connor has a very good understanding of the pronoun “we’. When I told him, “We are going to line up on the black line to start the game”, meaning everyone in our table group, he proclaimed, “Come one guys!”. In that situation Connor was able to determine that by saying we he knew that I meant the group as a whole. I have observed that when I say, “we need to walk straight in quietly in the hallway”, he always turns around to look at his other peers to see if they are walking correctly like I asked. This proves that Connor understands the concept of “we” and knows that by saying “we” I am addressing people beyond just himself. Most children are only concerned on themselves and think that when someone is talking to a group that they are talking

Instructional Context: The group consisted of 6 students, ranging in age from 14-17. All 6 students were Caucasian females. Of the group members, 3 were in 9th grade, 2 were in 10th, and 1 was in 12th grade. To accurately represent my large urban, comprehensive high school student population, the group members ranged from 2 students (one 10th and one 12th grader) identified as Academically and Intellectually Gifted (AIG), one 9th grader who receives accommodations under a Section 504 Plan for a diagnosed anxiety disorder, and 3 considered regular education. I assessed the range of academic abilities by reviewing group members’ historical grades, test scores, schedules, attendance, and 504 plans when applicable. Based on my own interactions with students, teachers, colleagues, and parents, I have seen an increase in stress related mental health diagnosis impacting students’ ability to be successful in

The two reading assignments for this week left me with plenty of reflection. Personally, I had two very different reactions to them, but I think that both of them have allowed me to think more about what is effective in professional writing versus what does not work well. While I thought that the piece about Google could have been written better, I believe that the textbook has given me valuable information.

Risë Mitchell Personal Statement - BSN to DNP Program, Fall 2016 1 Tell us about your professional experience as a nurse. What have been the challenges and rewards of your career thus far? Ten years ago, I began my journey by enlisting in the Air Force as a Public Health Technician. In 2008, I was selected to attend a program called the Interservice Physician Assistant Program (IPAP). This program trains all branches of the military following the UNMC Physician Assistant curriculum.

I laugh when I think about how idealistic I was in the beginning of my journey! I am without a doubt a factual realist; however, my dream of obtaining my bachelors in nursing has haunted me for years. The lack of a BSN has not hindered my practice of medicine, nor has it limited my advancement in nursing. However, when I reflect on what I have discovered about myself in the last few months, I just shake my head.

My name is Romane Talleyrand. This post is to confirm that I have read the syllabus and the gradebook for the advantage of learning. Throughout the syllabus, it highlighted in detail all the necessary information about the class policies, the student etiquette, and much more. With these details in which I have read that will prepare me to be success not only in this course, but through the entire nurse practitioner program. As you all knew, it is easy to have some sort of anxiety at the beginning of each term because no one knows what to be expected from the instructor, the assignments, and the quizzes. As the previous classes were smooth, nice, and easy, hopefully, this class will have no difference than the
