COMMUNITY PLACEMENT 2 Introduction My service-learning practicum takes place in the community setting at Connaught Elementary School in St. Catharines. At Connaught, I am doing a one-on-one mentorship with a grade eight student to help her with her transition into high school. I am at the school twice a week for a half hour; however this position requires a lot of pre planning outside of the school, in order to effectively help her with her transition. My tasks include preparing different activities for each time I go into placement. Our first few weeks consisted of preparing a resume for my student so that in 2-3 years when it comes time that she starts applying to part-time jobs she has a resume already put together, which she can add things and take things away from. Along with resume preparation, we have done a job interview role-play where I am the interviewer and she is the interviewee. In this time, we have had fun days where she would make popcorn, with two other students, and sell it to other classmates. My student has had a lot of problems with a bully, and she has an issue of being assertive to other people- meaning she finds it difficult to state her opinions and she easily gives in to other people. With that, I brought two jars from home and I turned them into “problem” and “solution” jars where we filled each up with a problem and a few solutions to that
For my interview project I interviewed a counselor named Cristina Kleinfelter who works at Pottsgrove Middle School with 6th, 7th, and 8th graders. Her and a colleague split 400 students in the school and meet with each one of their 200 assigned students when needed. She sees students when she goes to the classroom to teach social skills, and help with college. They both have a mixed population of students they work with whether it be students from broken homes, good homes, etc. She has her Master’s Degree in Counseling and is certified in school counseling, she has been in this field for 14 years so far. She works with the 8th graders the most, with their high school schedules, she explains to them how to pick classes and how to apply to

I was among three therapists sent to New Hope Corps transitional home for quarterly face-to-face contact with client. Client has been at the transitional home for three months and all reports are that he is doing well. I met with transition home counselor at the home prior to meeting with client. The transitional home counselor reported that the client had made much progress in his therapy group this quarter. She had reported at previous meeting that client had not wanted to share any of his issues with the group and just sat there until the time was up in group and then left with no remarks. During this quarter, he has begun to open up about his feelings regarding his birth father and his anger toward him. He has talked about his drug use. The transition home counselor began meeting with him individually two months ago and that one-on-one counseling has given him the encouragement to share with the group. The transition home counselor warned me that client would want to discuss his desire to return home as soon as possible. I met with client alone to discuss his progress over the last quarter. He reported that he is feeling good about

I saw in your website that specialize in different forms of medicine, really giving the patient a unique plan for their specific needs, and more importantly, a focus on genuine respect and compassion for the patients.

Self-care is taking a strategic measure to ensure that one is safe and stays in focus. They are personal decisions that one takes for to improve their health. In this case, my self-care is to ensure that I remain in line with the nursing school and nursing career in general, and set strategies to implement the key options that I have chosen. These include time management, exercising, and working fewer hours while in nursing school. The field of nursing is diverse (Lever, 2010, p. 105). It requires focus to be able to cope with the daily challenges. However, caution should be taken when pursuing nursing as a profession. Nursing school requires discipline and compliance to the regulation in both class and at work. The paper will discuss the various measures that I will adopt to secure my future career in nursing and highlight how I will cope with stress while in nursing school.
So far I have done a few weeks of service learning, and many might ask: well did you learn anything new about yourself, did you have a moment of realization or some sort of eye opener. Well yes and no, being at the Bartlett school volunteering with first-graders and third-graders has been so far, fantabulous. I learned that when I get older, I might want to pursue a career in the teaching field but only when I cannot do any more criminal justice careers. As in, maybe I got injured and cannot return, by the way not hoping this happens at all. Or maybe, I’m just fed up with working in such a career that I can just go for my teaching degree and become a teacher for that certain topic. But then again, teaching people certain things seem difficult to do and stressful. Seeing multiple students at once, having to remember their names, having to correct and input their grades, seems like too much. However, it still seems interesting! I most likely will look into this and keep it as a plan B or C.
A difficult as it may get, it is always frustrating to not be able to do more for them. For that reason, you are doing a much better job than I did regarding that matter. I struggled the entire academic year with frustration to the point of even crying in front of one of my students. Kayla was only 13 years old and had already been in disputes with police. In despite of always showcasing
The term Continuous Professional Development means to take ownership of one’s own personal development to identify personal and professional needs, setting clear goals, with set guidance on how to achieve them. I believe CPD is important because as a HR professional it is imperative I keep up to date on new and improved HR policies, legislation and developments. it is also important to monitor my own progress, some things I may pick up easily, others I may not, its important to continually to re-assess my progress to see what my needs are and how best to improve them.
