My most fulfilling leadership experience would have to be starting the 4-H Medical Careers Spin Club. I started the club three years ago, to allow teens to have opportunities to experience the medical field before they spend money on a career they may end up not liking. The Club has been able to tour medical schools, hospitals, cancer centers, and many other facilities. I was instrumental in getting three teens in the club to apply and get accepted to Southern Illinois University School of Medicine Physician Pipeline Preparatory Program I am involved in. Countless people in the medical field kept wanting to help me gain medical opportunities, but HR departments and HIPAA rules kept getting in the way. Through this experience, I learned that
I had the opportunity to take the 16 Careers Cluster Inventory. I found the assessment very easy to take. As well, I found the inventory easy to score. My results of the assessment indicated my top three career areas were: 1. Educational and Training, 2. Health Sciences, and 3 had a three way tie between Human Services, Hospitality, and Law enforcement. I found the assessment to be dead on. Based upon the past personality inventories that I have taken I found the suggested areas very appropriate. One of the appealing aspects of the inventory was the easy of taking it! It seemed to gather accurate information without being overly pathological and test-driven.
The best leadership accomplishment that demonstrates my potential to make significant contributions to the campus community and broader society is cheerleading. Cheerleading has made a huge impact on my life and has created many opportunities for me. It has paved the way for my high school career. Cheerleading provided me with opportunities to lead, volunteer, perform and show the athletic ability of our squad.
Being a leader is no simple task. During my Eagle Scout project, I lead a range of people, from adults to youth. It was my job to make sure everyone was working and, that everyone was capable of doing their task. I had many issues doing this throughout my project because I am only one person and I can’t be everywhere at once. Thusly made being a leader a drudgery. But I had an incredible set of adults guiding me along the way, who taught me that being a leader was not doing everything myself, being a leader
Involvement in marching band, field hockey, and various other activities has given me many opportunities to show leadership. My first leadership opportunity was in eighth grade when I became a WEB leader. While I was a WEB leader, I helped incoming sixth graders get adjusted to middle school life and find their classes on the first day. I also met up with the sixth graders in my group once a month at lunch and got to know them while I asked how school was going and helped them with any issues they had. In marching band, this past season I was a marching captain for my section. I helped the freshmen learn to march, demonstrated proper marching techniques for others, and gave advice to anyone having trouble with part of our marching show. At the start of field hockey season I showed leadership by helping new players learn to play field hockey by demonstrating how
It is simple to look at an individual’s life and analyze and critique their choices based on our own opinions and experiences. Is that fair? No. We may see their actions clearly but the reasoning behind these is what we should focus on when it comes to judging someone’s behavior or circumstances. A common judgment made about a person is based on their career. In our society, it would behoove us to look at the path that leads to becoming a doctor instead of a drug dealer.
Stephanie and I meet today to discuss the midterm clinical competency assessment tool. As we discussed the different sections she did explain to me that she was having a difficult time because of a few factors, first she said it is hard for her to say any nurse is accomplished in many areas because she feels as professionals we always need to be working at “being better”. Second, she feels that we have not yet had much time together to observe me in multiple scenarios which hinders a full evaluation. An example of this is after the form was filled out and we met, we then worked our shift. Today she witnessed me communicating with inter-professionals during a care conference and educating a patient’s family during discharge. She said both events would have altered her
I first encountered the significance of leadership in the tenth grade. Berry College the largest campus in the U.S. was in search of school ambassadors to serve part in a seminar known as HOBY. To get chosen you had to write an essay describing your leadership roles, and at that moment I thought that I did not have any. I literally did not know what it meant to be a leader. I had to brainstorm till I remembered going through one of the most difficult times of my life. The lack of understanding the English language became one of my biggest obstacles, and even caused me to repeat a chapter of my life. However, I did not cease; I continued to fight and strove to help others who were susceptible of following my steps. I used my story as an example, and hoped that it would make a difference in someone else’s life.
Though I may not have played a leadership role in the school itself, I do maintain a leadership role outside of school. I work hard to teach and show proper work ethic in my part time job as a team leader. In order to achieve the position, you must show leadership capabilities. The job requires you to oversee team members, settle conflicts with not only coworkers, but with guests as well, and help management maintain a safe and clean workspace. I believe that leadership is not just one person, but a team effort and as such as a collective we work together to achieve the same
The leadership positions I have held are, starting most currently, an Adult Leader for my Boy Scout Troop in Post Falls, ID. Through my troop I was also the Senior Patrol Leader for three terms, an Assistant Senior Patrol Leader for two terms, a Patrol Leader for three terms, and a Scribe for approximately two terms. Each of these terms were six months in length. In the Order of the Arrow (Scouting’s “National” Honor’s Society), I was a Chapter Chief for one year, and was most currently my Lodge Elections Chief for about six months. In the summer of 2015, I assisted in organizing the Arrow Tour stop in Coeur d’Alene, ID at Camp Easton.
Please list any outstanding leadership experiences that you have participated in and describe your role in that experience (i.e., ASB, PLUS, Band, Drama, Yearbook, etc.).
Reflecting on my career, I believe it would be hard for me to imagine my current positions, rank and responsibility in both the fire service and the Coast Guard when I started in 1998. Over the years I have had several great teachers who have shaped my perceptions and guided my actions. My parents garner much of the credit of my successes as they raised me with a baseline of values which serves me today. Those values, my mentors, and my experiences have worked to construct my definition of leadership. To me, leadership is the practice of taking people to places (real or figurative) they would not likely go on their own. While this is a crude explanation, it is one which I have rallied around in my career. It distinguishes itself from that of a position of management where the parameters and rules for success are generally known. When encountering the unknown, or the uncharted territory, those who pioneer practice leadership.
My clinical rotation in the acute care hospital has definitely been a great learning experience, it was a big transition for me having been working in a long-term care facilities for six years. There were three positive aspects about my performance that I will take away from this learning experience.
Organizations use financial statements and ratio analysis assess financial performance viability. The ratio analysis are used to identify trends and to perform organizational comparison (financial) with other companies within same industry. Ratio analysis, using data reported on the financial statements, are divided into five major categories: common size, liquidity, solvency, efficiency, and profitability. This paper will assess the financial stability of John Hopkins Hospital (JHH) using the five ratio analysis.
I took leadership was when I was in my dad's soccer team a few years ago. I showed leadership in this soccer team because although the team was pretty good I was one of the ones that decided to really put my heart into it and become a better soccer player. I would always try my best during practices and I always decided to try to motivate everyone on the team so that we can all become good but so I became better. I was able to take away the captain badge from my teammate. I felt very proud that day because I never thought I would be able to be one of the most dedicated players in my dad's team. I took leadership in the team once again but this time it was during a game that we went to over time which meant we had tied one to one in the actual
Clinical Orientation was the concept of the week. Knowing what’s the importance of Hand washing or hang hygiene and knowing how to execute it well was the topic during the simulation day. It is about preventing to chain of infection from nurses to patients, family, friends and to the public. So nurses having a knowledge on how to execute hand washing properly makes the nurse to be aware of their own hygiene and the nurse would be able to provide individualised hygiene care. (Crisp et all, 2013) Knowing your way around to the hospital and knowing hand hygiene was the main focus of the clinical orientation.
