Veteran Observation

One year after I graduate from my CNA class I see myself attending college at Wilkes Community college I will be going full time to get my associates degree in nursing. While attending Wilkes college full time and raising a baby I will be working as a CNA. For my first job as a CNA I see myself working with the elderly caring for them in their homes, I am more comfortable working with the elderly for my first job than in any other place of work. In home care, would be the best fit for me since I will be attending school full time and raising a baby I feel like they work with you more.

Over the course of this past year the Veterans Success Center (VSC) has made huge strides in being more visible and more involved with other areas across campus. I wanted to concentrate on reaching the incoming student-veterans so that when they encountered the veterans program it appeared to be far more established than it was, and interaction with it being perceived as a daily opportunity. This meant that we would need to be far more involved with the early processes of becoming a student such as: Premiere Night, SOAR/TSOAR/Preview Day/ Veteran specific orientation and Veteran campus tours. We also wanted to be much more accurate in speaking to our student-veteran population, so we worked directly with the Admission Office to create an

INTRODUCTION: How many people have a Veteran in their family or know one? If yes do you help them or is it someone else’s problem. Well many people think it’s someone else problem, but the truth is it’s our problem.

In actuality, they gained vital information that can be shared with the future generations. They have gained respect and honor for their duty for our

The objectives for the desired outcomes is to ensure that every veteran, regardless of which war, receives the proper care and treatment of their ailments.

Mark henan: We have any military veterans in the audience today? At ease all that “rucus”, what do you think this is? college? Greetings to chairman Davis. President Jackson. Members of the board and trustees. Family ,friends, and my fellow graduates. May I share, may I share, my story in an essay format. After high school I went to college for one term and quit. Joined the army and 20 years later I found myself in the final stages to deploy to Iraq. Unfortunately, I was injured. My team with whom I had a bond forged in steel went to Iraq without me, but not everyone retuned. They sacrificed their dream so that we could dream big. And today I speak for those who no longer have a voice. As the story goes my injuries left me immobile and I couldn’t

My time spent with the wounded, ill, and injured soldiers has given me more compassion and respect for people that are suffering mentally and physically.
