Somatic's Class Reflective Report

This simulation was the most challenging for me thus far. During this simulation, what resonated with me most was the importance of prioritizing and patient education. In order to successfully complete this VSIM I had to ask the patient how she was breathing despite seeing the 02 level rise and I also decided to give her a breathing mask before giving her an incentive spirometer to encourage her to cough, which in hindsight was common sense. It was surprising to find out this patient smokes even though she has a history of respiratory issues. I imagine that in a real life situation she would receive some patient education about the dangers of smoking and maybe patches to help quit. Overall, I enjoyed this VSIM because I had to correct a lot

Another idea that caused me to think a lot was the idea of self awareness; at least that's what I

This essay will detail a critical reflection of two key learning experiences that I encountered during my team observed structured professional encounter (TOSPE). Originally designed by Harden and Gleeson (1979), TOSPE takes the form of a mock multi-disciplinary team meeting. As a result, it allows healthcare students to work collaboratively as a multi-disciplinary team- developing non-technical skills and cultural competence.

Counselor received the JRSC report back from the session's Julia participated in on July 18th & 25th and August 3rd & 10th.

The first thing I learned from the PT is that you can have any major and still apply to PT school as long as you take the required classes. PT schools look to diversify the majors and students they accept. The first thing I learned from the OT is that you do not have to take the GRE to be accepted into some OT schools. The process for applying was all online and was straight forward. The first thing I learned from the PA is that patient care hours are huge. She recommended that you have them anywhere from 1,000 to 8,000 patient care hours when applying.

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

How many hours of work per day or per week did you generally put into the course?

Contrary to what I initially believe meditation is, prior to taking this course, which is the mental concentration on something, meditation is actually a thoughtless awareness of an individual’s surroundings.

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

During the first class period we were able to discuss the syllabus and gain a general understanding of what we can expect from SOCW 502, as well as the competencies that will be covered in this course. We further discussed what we, as students, are expected to do to be successful in this course. After discussing the syllabus we were able to have a group discussion about the semester project as well as the weekly reflective journals. This gave us time to get acquainted and further discuss each person’s area of interest, which will be helpful in selecting a topic for the semester project. We were then able to learn more about the instructor of the course. It was also interesting and entertaining to hear about the educational background of the

InTASC Standard #10: The teacher seeks appropriate leadership roles and opportunities to take responsibility for student learning, to collaborate with learners, families, colleagues, other school professionals, and community members to ensure learner growth, and to advance the professions.

The artifacts section of the portfolio is present the works I have done through my time in the MPA program. The artifacts range from the assignments I needed to complete from my courses to my internship experience. The purpose of this section is to displace how each of the work helped increase my skills and competencies as a public administrator.

I said I would “make it my purpose to walk with back body every time I came from the train to school.” When I first started, I had a lot of trouble. I would be aware of my back body, then after a couple steps I would revert back to old habits. It was a constant battle between awareness and unconsciousness. Val pointed it out that it is similar to meditation; you always have to bring back awareness. As time went on I found that I could walk with back body for longer. However, I did end up walking slower. I assumed that I was relearning to walk, so I would have to start slow. The interesting thing was that the awareness of back body expanded beyond my walk to school. Eventually, I started to walk with back body through hallways, or I would remember to use back body when I was sitting. Moreover, I started to remember to use the Alexander Technique more often in my everyday life. At this point in the semester, I am getting more and more consistent with my practice. However, when I am busy, it tends to slip away. This practice is another big part of why I’m feeling less tense in troubled areas. I believe an actor must practice awareness and their scales every day. This will allow for better habits to form. Therefore, when it comes time to act, this work will happen

As with Gestalt therapy, the ‘Here and Now’ experiment focuses on an individual’s self awareness in relation to the moment to moment processes in their environment. “Self-awareness involves being aware of different aspects of the self including traits, behaviors and feelings.” What Is Self-Awareness? How Does It Develop? (2016).
