The main thing that stood out to me that Father Greg Boyle preached, was that he received more than those whom he served, and that he maintained a readiness to receive. He only worked with those that were willing to work on themselves. These tenants affected me deeply. They are both within and without the ideals of my own. They challenged my own morality in terms of extending help to those that struggle no matter their current situation. Positivity radiated from this challenging of my viewpoints because it meant resolved strength in whatever decision I made. I was able to fully immerse myself in his arguments and the wisdom held behind them. Referring to the themes stated previously, I felt them deeply as I had experienced some of these difficulties in different situations throughout my life. My understanding of compassion, redemption, and mercy all relate in depth to the themes of service, welcoming, and willingness to change as mentioned above. Compassion comes directly from empathy. I may not have shared your experiences and nor you of I, but together we mutually understand that people struggle. That we all struggle in some way. That we both gain from a relationship. Personally, when I was in Flint Michigan over the summer for a service project with the youth in the area, I learned so much more from them than they received from me. I had never previously seen that impact. I was of the immature notion then I could only give because I was blessed. I’ll never forget that
Notwithstanding the necessities of Subpart F, "Fire Protection and Prevention" (29 CFR 1926), open blazes and fires are disallowed in all underground development exercises, with the exception of hot work operations. Smoking is permitted just in zones free of flame and blast dangers, and the business is required to post signs precluding smoking and open blazes where these perils exist. Different work practices are additionally distinguished as preventive measures. For instance, there are restrictions on the funneling of diesel fuel from the surface to an underground area. Additionally, the channel or hose framework used to exchange fuel from the surface to the capacity tank must stay unfilled with the exception of when exchanging the fuel. Fuel
Earlier in the semester, we had the opportunity to attend the Interfaith Winston-Salem tour. In just a few hours, we got a glimpse of the incredible amount of religious diversity present in Winston-Salem. Over the past ten years, Forsyth County has become increasingly diverse as businesses flock to the triad, bringing people from all over the country and the world into one community. This population boom has changed the religious landscape of Winston-Salem. As different religions continue to come together, it becomes increasingly necessary for people to understand their neighbors in order to create a cohesive society. Therefore, we propose that the academic study of religion should be offered in the Forsyth County public school
Reflection is a major factor in "developing self-awareness" to improve services provided to everyone around me, this is to develop my own understanding in realising the good and bad made previously. Moving forward with a better understanding, as well as rectifying the mistake whilst recognizing the good points, (Horton-Deutsch and Sherwood, 2008).
The purpose of this assignment is to discuss the contribution of reflective practice for clinical nursing. Reflection has been defined as a way for individuals to “capture their experience, think about it, mull it over and evaluate” (Boud et al 1985: 19)
I do not recall learning about reflective practice in my undergraduate studies. Reflective practice according to Barbour (2013), “is the cyclic process of internally examining and exploring an issue of concern, triggered by an experience, which creates and clarifies meaning in terms of self, existing knowledge, and experience; resulting in a changed conceptual perceptive and practice” (p. 7). According to Barbour (2013), reflective process has many positive outcomes to help guide the nurse to become an expert nurse that can make on the spot decisions that do not interrupt patient care. I feel that reflective practice would have been beneficial to help guide me from a student nurse to a practicing nurse with critical thinking skills.
The NASA crane was meant for us to work together and build teamwork skills. The idea of the project was for us to work together to build a crane that would lift a certain amount of weight. The designs were for the most part unique. We had to decide how we were going to build our crane so it was strong enough support wise. To everything there is probably something you like and you dislike, but you learn things from it no matter what.
Advanced practice nursing (APN) can be loosely defined as an area of nursing in which nurses are required to practice at an advanced level in a specific area of interest. APN extends the boundaries of nursing’s scope of practice and contributes to nursing knowledge, and the development of the profession (Canadian Nurses Association, 2008). In order to become an APN, the nurse must obtain a master’s or doctoral degree from an accredited university in an area of concentration designated for advanced practice nursing. According to Joel (2009), there are currently four major groups of APNs: certified registered nurse anesthetist, certified nurse midwives, clinical nurse specialists, and nurse practitioners. APN focus on
For the last six weeks in both mental and acute setting, I have reflected on events that I had met in each week. Now, I am going to identify essential personal learning outcomes from those events and will include personal awareness of strengths and weaknesses. Among the different models of reflection, I will use the Gibbs model of reflection which entails six stages such as description, feelings, evaluation, analysis, conclusion, action plan.
This reflective essay will be adopted from Rolfe, Freshwater and Jasper’s (2001) reflection model. This reflection is based on a case study that I have read and will be based on the intervention I have chosen to treat the patient. Mr. Castello was admitted to the ward for observation after a fight and sustaining a laceration to his right forehead from a beer bottle and extensive bruising and scratches to his left arm. Mr. Castello had a pre-existing chest infection, Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus (DM), and asthma. Assessing, cleaning and dressing his wounds is an integral part of his treatment, as his DM can lead to delayed wound healing and increased chance of infection (Salazar, Ennis, & Koh, 2016). This could be successfully achieved through
This semester I learned a lot about writing in English 151. It has been a roller coaster ride with these essays for me this semester. I learned step by step how to write a good essay and how to have your readers be engaged in what you’re trying to tell them. Each essay I did has taught me something valuable I can take to the next level of English. I feel as if as the semester went by I did not take my writing that seriously and that reflected in my grades I received in each essay. It made me a better student and writer and it will reflect next semester. In this essay, I will reflect on what I learned throughout this semester that you should apply in your writing when you begin English 151.
As we begin to wrap up this semester, I reflect on all the learning and achievements I have obtained thus far in the program. Throughout this semester, my communication and relational capacity has grown, driving me to break out of my comfort shell. At the beginning of this year I had wrote a letter to myself, outlining three goals that I wanted to achieve. The three goals were: work with a palliative client, become more assertive, and to integrate family care into my practice. I began the semester off in acute care, on the medical floor. During the second part of the semester, I was assigned to be in the first group of students to start the Trail Outreach Nursing. My new placement has created a new goal of increasing my communication
In the final days of this semester, one tends to look back at the work done over a difficult and long three months. In the case of this English composition class, reflecting on completed essays has allowed me to analyze the development of my writing over the semester. Although this semester consisted of only five essays, it has become apparent to me that my writing has improved in many aspects throughout the semester. One general example of this improvement is the vocabulary, where simple vocabulary in the first essay had become more complex by the final essays. Additionally, I also believe that my writing has become more reflective of my actual voice and opinions, an improvement considering my first essays were best described as vague.
Writing has always been one of my strengths, enabling me to freely express my creative thoughts in a controlled manner onto a piece of paper. Although my writing process takes a long time, I have complete power over the sentences and structures that I am weaving together to form a cohesive whole. Throughout High School, I was trained to write a structured essay in an ample amount of time by writing, editing, and finalizing my draft. Most of our work involved writing individual essays and research papers in which I developed a strong foundation in. However, I realized that I lacked experience in group work as well as oral communication in delivering my ideas to the audience. At the end of the semester, I noticed my transition from an

Most of the writing curriculum I've taken and completed was through the community college. As I entered Northern Arizona University my assignments mainly involved working with multiple choice quizzes or working with numbers. On occasion the writing material involve to write short paragraphs. Recently within the last year I am now starting to write essay papers again. To name just a few of my past writing courses that I've taken are Lost tribes and buried cities, humankind emerging, Introduction to Ethnic Studies , Introduction to public administration, and now this current course Public Sector Communication Strategies. For the lonest time I've tried to achieve a degree in Business. I envisioned myself running a business or owning one some day. Now those visions have changed a bit. Recently this spring I made the decision to change my field of major. I've decided to finish my degree in Public Administration. I have no regrets since I have always served for my community however, I've realized several of the courses I'm required to take involve learning more about our government, the history and analyze in writing what I've read and learned in my own words. It's been quite the experience, and I feel as if I have to start fresh and reiterate what I've memorized in grade school. For instance, learning how to write an essay paper, discussing the topics, and grabbing the readers attention are just a few examples. There is a saying, when you haven't practiced doing
