Student Practitioner Reflective Report

For this weeks’ reflection, I would like to take a different approach about certain things. I presented my article this week which was about El Centro high school which was a super segregated high school in the sense that no rights or help were given to the Latinos students. Every time I read about these type of issues, it gets me super mad that we Latinos, especially undocumented are seen as objects to US society. For example, something that I learned this week is about the term “illegal” which it refers to something illegal like a law or object and, most the time they call us illegal aliens as if were some aliens from another planet. This week’s reading just helps me to realize even more that we live in a country that clearly don’t want our

I was able to use her experience to help guild me through my project and ensure my patients were receiving the best possible care. As I am working on my project I see heading in a certain direction and it can be difficult sometimes working with someone who may see project, and other direction. At the same time, it is nice to see a different point of view and incorporate this into my project. She has been very helpful in guiding me in the right direction as far as identify how to find evidence based practice to help drive the protocol. We have identified the problems associated with Central line associated blood stream infections and the best ways to decrease these infections. Brooke has does a wonderful job being present and available for questions and guidance. We have completed a lot of research about my project and I am confident she will me help me achieve my goals with this protocol. It is helpful that she is an active floor nurse and able to see the problems first

Reflective practice is constantly changing as it adds in the learning gained from experiences. Reflective practice links events together and compares what is already known and make a decisions on the basis of this comparison. Reflective practice helps nurses to become expert practitioners due to the fact it operates from a deep understanding of the total events. Reflective practice could also be beneficial for patients and service users as it gives better standards of patient safety and is focused on individual and also evidence based care derived from their needs.

I have been a Resident Assistant (RA) for about five weeks. Training to be a RA was tiring but very educational. I learned how to handle multiple situations that could happen with me being RA. After training, it was a series of task that I had to complete as a RA. Those task included: completing forty-four Room Inventory Form, putting in fix it tickets, etc.

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

Reflective Practice, according to Howatson – Jones (2013), is “defined as a process that develops understanding of what it means to be a practitioner and makes the link between theory and practice through the practitioner consciously thinking through the experience (Howatson – Jones, 2013, p8). Reflective Practice is useful tool for health professionals to help them continue learning career and enable them to learn and improve from their own professional experiences (Bright Knowledge, 2014 p1). This essay will give an overview of the benefits of implementing Reflective Practice and how it improves patient care and outcomes and how it promotes nurses to keep up to date with current professional skills. The essay will look at some possible limitations

Reflective practice is when you think about the work you have done and how well it went,

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

I am writing with regard to Research Assistant, Technical Staff or Technician (Stem Cell Biology and Regenerative Medicine) advertised on website. Please find attached my Curriculum Vita, which shows I have the necessary qualifications and experience in the workplace.

“Death starts from the feet.” She was an 86 year old Guinean woman who was accompanied by her son to the family medicine clinic. Her son explained to us that his mother was very anxious and feared that she would be dying soon because of the pains that she was having in her lower extremities. In their culture, there is a saying that “death starts from the feet,” and because she was experiencing these pains she was convinced that her time was near. After obtaining a more detailed history and completing her physical examination, I discovered that the patient had bilateral crepitus in her knees as well as joint swellings, indicating an osteoarthritic presentation. What my patient feared to be symptoms of death were instead osteoarthritic pain! This patient encounter was an eye opening experience on just how impactful our backgrounds can be in medicine. By improving our cultural competences we improve the quality of healthcare. As a family physician I hope to make a difference in the lives and communities of patients from various backgrounds.

In English 102 I would consider it to be the best education academic writing experience of my education. There would be times where I could say I struggled the most in class was with my grammar and word choices. Throughout my attendance, I intended to prove myself to Professor Hohmann, who is an English professor at CAC (Central Arizona College) that I can write professionally as a student. I created six assignments in the English course to prove myself that I can compose assignments and research as well as my peer college classmates. The tasks that were given to me for grades were beneficial for other classes, career and in life. One of the assignments was a research paper on a specific topic that I desired, which needed to be a debatable discussion. An additional task that helped me out with my writing was the

If Stephanie does decide to remain in a relationship with Geoff, she should set relationship boundaries. The relationship should be strictly professional during Geoff’s supervised practicum. I do not think it is possible for Stephanie to remain Geoff's supervisor at this point. Her judgment about Geoff might be affected; she may be willing to give him better grades or ignore bad behavior. It will be wise for Geoff to request for a new supervisor.

Demonstrated ability to support success for all students, with a strong emphasis on promoting student responsibility, engagement and wellbeing.

In English 101 there are several aspects of writing that I did not get to explore in high school. In this class we were given freedom to write our stories without harsh guidelines that twisted our creativity. I have learned how to absorb information and transfer it to paper in a style to keep readers engaged. I am able to reflect on my writing process and critique my problems. This class has given me skills that I can put into practice in the future.

Now that we are near the end of this class my lack of writing skills has come into focus. What I have learned in this class has given me confidence and conquers my feeling of intimidation when it comes to writing. I never enjoyed school and did not put much effort into my prior education. As a result, I have struggled with my writing process throughout the years. I would feel intimidated when the need to express myself in writing was necessary, such as job applications or run reports required in my current job. My lack of effort coupled with an inadequate process has led to more than one embarrassing situation for me. I believe that this course has helped me improve and also taught that putting forth more effort and ongoing education is well worth my time.
