Supervisor Reflective Report

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.

Shortly after becoming a supervisor I noticed we had 35 laptop computers that were not using due to our forms were all in paper format. I volunteered to make a current paper forms into electronic forms. I had never done anything like this before, so it was an incredible challenge as a new supervisor to take on this type of a project, but I felt it would be worthwhile. I proceeded meticulously through each form ( 32 forms in all) for almost six months collaborating with several other supervisors as a team testing, solving issues and modifying these forms until we got it right. The forms were finally approved by Mike Gil to distribute to all the supervisors. We felt we had accomplished a great deal to improve efficiency and appearance of the department to our peers that read our reports. To this day I update the forms for the department and take feedback from my peers, as well as the departments we serve to make them the best they can be.

This leadership experience is an accurate demonstration of my credentials and a large source of my purpose. I am organizing this overnight conference, seeking to improve the leadership capacity of students by encouraging them to discover their individuality and bond with other leaders. As MOCA, I update the schedule with minute-by-minute details; delegate roles to the security team, mentors, and executives; draft the itinerary and timeline; negotiate venue and transportation prices; and communicate with sponsors. This experience has taught me how to use budgets efficiently and improved my organization skills. I have also learned that with purposeful action and passion, I can leave a mark and create positive change in any vocation I pursue.

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

It has been 3 weeks since my last weekly reflection so I have had a lot of time to get some great work done. I have: made videos, Designed an Apple TV mount for the schools classrooms walls, cleaned up websites for teachers, written an app review, worked on a class project called Digital literacy and finally I have been working on my ILE. (individual learning endeavor)

As of this week, I have only attended the EPIC training and I will complete the class on 9/21/2017. I have not been able to meet with my preceptor yet and I hope that I could do my first clinical rotation before the month ends. That being said, I cannot comment on the preceptor’s expectations and concerns of working with me and her clinical thinking process and patient care as well as the drugs that are listed in the FNP formulary I could have potentially encountered during the shift. Since my preceptor is a physician assistant in an orthopedic unit, I think that I would be able to see things in her own perspective as a PA. I think it would be interesting to compare and contrast how the NPs and PAs work and to differentiate their scope of practice.

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.

This topic of the course has helped me to differentiate between what is a policy and what a procedure is and increased my knowledge of the huge amount of different types of policies and procedures that a school must have in place in order to operate effectively. Setting policies is one of the primary means that governing bodies can use in order to perform their duty for setting the direction they want the school to take. Governing bodies are required by law to set certain policies whilst there are others that are just recommended as good practice for all settings. Policies and procedures provide a structure and direction for school life in each and every institution.

The purpose of this paper is to reflect how the Senior Leader Course has influenced my leadership philosophy both professionally and personally. SLC has positively developed me both professionally and personally as a Leader. The interactions with other NCOs (Non-Commissioned Officers), lessons, briefings, has illustrated several different leadership styles and provided me insight to new ideas and concepts. I have gained significant knowledge and experience at SLC that will affect my future performance as a leader both professionally and personally.

This week I learn about Internet Safety. Doug discusses ways you can help students to use the Internet safety and make sure they are not on any inappropriate websites. Some of my colleagues had opinions how they think having parents on their social media websites were inappropriate and some of my colleagues said how it was not inappropriate. My opinion about social media is that everything should be appropriate there should be no reason why you have the parents on your Instagram page whether you are hiding something or not. I believe if you want to have connected with parents it should be face to face communication, telephone, or an email. In the future, I would even prefer to use Voice Thread with my parents and students.

For 15 years, I have experienced the people closest to me tell me I cannot accomplish my educational goal because they were afraid to overcome their fears. My biggest fear is not successfully completing my doctoral journey. However, I am determined to not allow others’ or life’s obstacles to hinder me from succeeding in both my doctoral program or professional goals. The decision to attend Walden University’s DBA program was to further develop my business skill set. As a consultant for a non-profit organization, I could benefit from improving upon my interpersonal skill as an active listener. For example, the importance of how we interpret both the verbal and non-verbal messages sent by others is essential to understanding one another. Enhancing

As a supervisor at the hospital, I noticed that my team of ten employees were very unhappy, frustrated, and the morale in the department was lower than normal. The employees were “bickering” with each other, and there was no communication throughout the team. This situation was causing stressful conditions and a negative impact in the hospital. However, as a supervisor, I had to address the problem.

“To embark on a journey towards your goals and dreams require bravery. To remain on that path requires courage. The bridge that merges the two requires commitment.” This is a direct quote from Dr. Steve Maraboli. As a ponder on this quote, I begin to reflect on my own journey towards a master’s degree in Educational Counseling. My journey towards graduate school began in 2011. Around that time, I have been in my position as a Graduate Program Assistant for about a year. As a Graduate Program Assistant, my responsibilities consisted of assisting prospective graduate students with the admissions applications, and advising current graduate students with the degree program requirements. Although I was very knowledgeable and excelled at my job, it occurred to me that I was promoting graduate education, yet I myself did not have a master’s degree. A graduate education can only

To begin, the overall experience for this simulation was a good one. I was able to practice a skill that I am not a hundred percent solid on. A big reason for me not being solid on Foley insertion is due to the fact, I have never done one on a real patient. I have always made sure to take advantage of times when I can practice, but is so different when compared to real patients. This simulation also provided me a chance to practice my assessment skills, which made me realize that even when you have done something so many times, you can still end up forgetting something. I have to remind myself that a big part of it is just repetition; the more you do the better engraved it is in your brain. For example I always make sure that my patient has

I did hear from the instructor that tested applicant Estrada and he confirmed that he did allow our applicant to conduct the 1.5 mile run on the treadmill. He explained that the previous Program Coordinator, who has since been released from ASU, had approved this and that this was the only applicant that was allowed to use the treadmill for the testing process. I have forwarded this to the current Program Coordinator who understands that there are to be no changes to the testing
