I believed both are important for me as I begin my doctoral journey. The purpose of continuing my education and obtaining a doctoral degree is to increase my knowledge base, broaden my educational horizons, and strengthen and empower me to become a professional role model who will make a greater impact within the minority community instilling the importance to obtaining a higher education.
First, my expectation in this doctoral journey is to grow as a person who will learn how to be an effective leader and hopefully be prepare to apply and practice within a given field at an advanced level (Vien, 2011).
Secondly, growing as a scholar will empower me to be knowledgeable and become an expert in a particular field. Vien (2011) mentioned in her
Coming into this class I was a bit wary about how this class would be run and what we would learn, especially once I found it was to be team led. In the past twelve weeks I have gained more insight on myself and how I react to situations in group settings, especially being in a class that is described as management and not psychology. Within this essay, I will describe my experiences with thoughts about my team as well as how we progressed. I will also describe how my class has progressed from the early stages and has transformed into a well-oiled high performing team. One of the tools I will use to show and describe the development of both my team and the class will be Wheelan’s four stages of development.
I assessed 71 years old female, Ms. Smith (fake name), who appeared in good physical health. She was alert and oriented because she was able to tell me the correct date and place. She did not seem to be in any distress. Eyes were symmetrical, sclera was white, and pupils were equal, round, reactive to light, and accommodating, and extraocular movements were intact. No hearing deficit was noted because Ms. Smith was able to repeat the words that I whispered into her each ear. I did not note any breathing difficulties as she was able to breathe through both nares equally, lungs were clear bilaterally upon auscultation, and she denied shortness of breath. No swelling or tenderness was noted on palpitation of lymph nodes. Ms. Smith denied heart pain or palpitation, and heart beats were regular upon auscultation. Extremities were symmetrical bilaterally, and muscle strength was strong upon assessment.
D-The patient arrived on time for her session. This writer witnessed the patient at the dosing window. This writer addressed with the patient about her treatment goals, referring to tapering off on the methadone. The patient then requested to decrease her current dose by 1mgs as she wishes to be stabilized on a lower dose. This writer completed the dose change request form and had the patient initial her name on the application as proof that it was done with the patient presence. She stressed that she wants to take it slow and not rush it as she wants her body to adjust to a lower dose each time a dose change request form is submitted, at which this writer agreed with the patient. Furthermore, this writer requested for the patient work schedule
As humans we have the rights to have access to health care. This means that every individual should be able to receive the highest possible standard of mental and physical health care. For instance, housing/ shelter, medical services, sanitation, safe working condition, and clean environment. Unfortunately, there are many people that go without proper health care, due to the judgements that are made based on which populations and which individuals can have access to drugs, and who will be vulnerable to ill health. However, access to health care is an issue, there are more than one factor that influences health, social, economic, and environmental. In addition, one can come to understand health by viewing it through the perspective of human rights. A justice based approach to health, and humans rights as a framework for health development. With this framework health policies, and programs will be created with human rights as
According to my results on both the table and the pie chart I created, most of my competency scores within the separate clusters are ranked highly. On the table, the highest scores are highlighted in yellow. To be exact, 9 out of 14 clusters and ranked as occurring consistently. The pie chart reflects the visual image of my results placed next to each other. Next, I will reflect on the big feelings and emotions that I experienced while reviewing my results.
University faculty were asked the following question in regards to reflective practice, “What opportunities for reflective practice do you provide your students in your methods course?” All three faculty members’ responses focused on assignments, such as the describe-analyze-reflect paper as well as in-class discussions. Dr. Ashcroft and Dr. Louise had very similar response that focused specifically on the class assignments. Dr. Ashcroft stated, “students do a philosophy of teaching at the beginning of the semester and then review it at the end of the semester…scripted, textbook journal writing activities…where students go in the field and observe the teacher and then respond. Dr. Louise had a similar elaboration, “when I do observations they
Strengths: My experiences in working with children have helped me improve my skills as an educator; I believe one of strengths would be using behaviour reinforcement. According to BF Skinner (2014, Page 64) behaviour reinforcement is used to discourage or promote desired behaviours, to which I have found effective. In my before and after school care workplace, I regularly use verbal and physical reinforcement for example, high-fiving, clapping, and having a prize box. I have discovered how well children respond to positive reinforcement and now rely upon it to guide positive behaviour. Positive reinforcement includes positive language, to which I believe to be another strength of mine. During my previous practicum, I chose to emphasise positive

After reading the article, I feel responsibly, action and asking questions are my strongest characteristics. In the beginning of my career I started working in large inner city emergency department in Detroit, Michigan. I quickly learned that I am responsible to patients for making sure that they receive that best care in order to achieve the best outcome. By not being accountable to take the necessary actions could lead to less than poor outcomes & satisfaction. I actively sought out the answers by asking questions and clarifying those things I did not understand. I also took charge in my own learning curve in order to be successful in my career. As a new graduate already stressed, working in the fast pace environment, those strong characteristics

Each of these essay helped me improve

This essay will review the literature to critically explore the value and purpose of reflective practice.
