Student Internship Analysis

During the last three years, I have completed 488 hours in two child life departments interacting with children and families in the hospital setting. At the same time, I kept the quality of my academic standing high (GPA 4.0 at Ozarks Technical Community College and GPA 3.88 at Missouri State University). I am currently a child life practicum student at CoxHealth Dee Ann White Women’s and Children’s Hospital. My duties include planning and implementing developmentally appropriate and therapeutic activities, such as origami, scavenger hunts, and medical play to promote physical, cognitive, social, and emotional development for patients. I can independently interact with and introduce child life services to patients and families in Pediatrics

My internship experience at the South Central Family Health Center has been amazing. After this week I will have completed one month at my internship and the knowledge and experience I’ve been able to gain has helped me develop tremendously, both professionally and personally. Among the various things that I’ve been able to do at the clinic include, assisting in the implementation of the new patient portal (NEXTGEN), work on creating various projects with the IT department (e.g., helping prepare for the implementation of ICD-10), taking a lead in the planning of the clinic’s summer health festival, shadowing various physician, and assisting the prenatal department with numerous administrative tasks. Indeed, I have had a lot on my plate this past few weeks, but the exposure and information I’ve been able learn about the current status of community health centers in urban areas has been substantial and crucial in my development. With these new found knowledge about the different careers possible within the health care industry and the duties and responsibilities that accompany them, I have been able to expand on my options upon graduation and simultaneously narrow them down to those that I find most intriguing.

With my BSN from Catholic University, I was hired at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, where I began my career, developing the utmost passion for being a pediatric nurse, caring for the pediatric patient population in a hospital setting. I found myself drawn to the family-centered care with evidence-based practice as a foundation for the type of nurse I would become. Empathizing with families and what they are going through in an emergency department, while trying to provide the best, most innovative care for their children, became my priority. I began to desire more, wanting to see more of the country and continue to practice as a nurse in the Pediatric Emergency Department. I decided to become a traveling nurse, packed my bags and experiences and took the initiative to see and do what I could on my own.

I started my college education at Chandler-Gilbert Community College, then to GCU. My passion to help others was evident in the classroom resulting in my professors recommending that I became a tutor at the college’s learning center. I worked there for three semesters tutoring math and science. In addition, I volunteered at Chandler Regional Medical Center where I accumulated over 300 service hours working in the post-anesthesia care unit (PACU). After earning my bachelor’s degree, I was offer a position to work in the CV-ICU at Banner-University Medical Center. I am also an RN supervisor at Southwest Behavioral

Nursing has always been a passion of mine ever since I began working on the Pediatric unit at the University of Arizona Medical Center. I thought by interning here, I would make a difference in someone’s life. However, those kids and family members were the ones who had the biggest impact on me. These kids taught me the importance of perseverance during difficult times which gave me the motivation and passion to work hard in my courses to get a 3.7 gpa.

Any college student will tell you that the only downside to learning is the homework. Sometimes the homework can get overwhelming, to the point that you stress out and don't do it to your full potential. I am in my second year, and I have learned with trial in error the main points that can and will help make doing your homework a lot easier, and will help with your grade too. First and foremost, organization is essential. Organize all your papers for one class in one folder, and have separate folders for each class. There are also folder books that have six or more folders in one, these work just as well. This will help in having all your important papers together, and will not cause you to mix up or loose any of them. When you keep them

This paper will cover the advocation of access to services to my clients throughout my internship at the Family Resource Center; specifically in the Child Advocacy department. As well, the paper will outline where I have done so throughout the internship, including the outcomes of my support (positive and negative consequences, what I would do differently, and my use of supervision and consultation), and my thought and feelings about my skills and competence.

These individuals were struggling like me day to day to survive. These encounters humbled me and it was there that I developed an affinity to individuals with mental illness. I went on to work part-time with APD (Agency for Person’s with Disability). That opportunity provided me with the insight to individuals suffering from not only varying mental illnesses but behavioral and developmental disabilities, as well. That experience solidify my desire to care for individuals suffering from mental

Going into college at Ohio State my intentions are to have a career in public service. Through multiple internships thus far I have found a passion in serving for people. Growing up I have always felt the need to make an impact and give back to the community. Eventually, I hope to represent my community, the people of it, and those who are in need of representation. No matter what career path I choose, I hope to leave a legacy behind that will help the greater good.

There’s has been many educational opportunities in my life but the most significant opportunity that I had that really impacted me was partnering and being able to intern with Sharp as a highschool student. As a student going to a high school focused on the medical field, I have gotten many advantages in my education for interning as a nurse at Sharp Grossmont hospital. I’ve connected with many inspiring and great people along the way and I have learned more about healthcare from the many preceptors I have collabed with. While I was interning as a nurse on the 5west area, it really open my mind up to determine if nursing was what I truly wanted and go along with. As the years went by, I have not only intern in the nursing area but also in the

I am interested in participating in the Nurse Intern Program because I want to spend my summer developing my nursing skills that I have learned inside the classroom. As I think past graduation I know that I plant to relocate. I want to take the opportunity this summer to live and work in an area that would interest me in relocating to after graduation. Not only will this experience build foundation for my nursing career, but I think it would also help me grow as a person. I was able to tour the Sycamore Shoals hospital two summers ago when I participated in Milligan College’s Nursing Camp. As a student who aspire to be a Christian nurse, I believe I identify well with the mission of Mountain States Health Alliance: Bringing Loving Care to Health

In 2011 and 2013, I had two summer internships with Cornerstone Montgomery: the first working in the Life Skills Program, and the second working in their 24-hour crisis residential facility. While working in the Life Skills Program, I fostered my interest in working with those who suffer from severe and persistent mental illness. I taught my clients’ skills needed for rehabilitation including eating healthy on a budget, basic computer skills, and medication management. When I returned to Cornerstone Montgomery in 2013, they asked me to intern in

I began working at Arnold Palmer Hospital for children in 2006, in which I began as an advanced clinical tech in acute pediatrics; completed a nursing internship; and began my nursing career as a graduate Nurse in 2007.

Pediatrics brings such a unique perspective in health care that I fell in love with it and knew that I wanted to become a Pediatric Nurse from the moment I completed my Pediatric

For the past 16 weeks, I was Norton Healthcare’s Child Life Intern in Louisville, Kentucky. I received a thorough and comprehensive clinical education through my internship experience. I completed three rotations at two separate hospitals. At Norton Children’s Hospital, I completed a 6-week rotation on the medical-surgical unit and a 4-week rotation in the pediatric emergency department. At Norton Women’s and Children’s Hospital, I completed a 6-week rotation covering all units, even the adult units. I had one manager, two coordinators, and three preceptors, one of whom was one of my coordinators.
