I attended the University of Hartford from August of 2015 through July of 2016. I stopped attending the school for the reason that I was struggling emotionally and needed to attend treatment. I attended Silver Hill in July of 2016 through August of 2016. I then transitioned to an IOP (Intensive Outpatient Program) in New York City from August 2016 to January 2017. I subsequently, unfortunately, developed another breakdown which resulted in me going to Yale-New Haven for psychiatric treatment. They thought it was in my best interest to go to a residential treatment program in North Carolina called Cooperriis from January 2017 to July 2017. In all of the treatment I attended I learned that if I work hard enough I can move past any downfall. Moreover,
This is my sixth clinical shift with my preceptor at Saunders Medical Center in Wahoo, NE, and it was on May 11, 2018 (Friday). Today, I had the chance to work in the OR, following nurse Mikayla. My duties for the day were to practice my IV skills on all surgical patients (15 of them) and check them all into their preoperative rooms. The patient census that I cared for includes: W. K. a 67-year-old male scheduled for a colonoscopy; A. J. a 77-year-old female scheduled for a colonoscopy; L. P. a 74-year-old female scheduled for a colonoscopy; D. F. a 53-year-old male scheduled for a colonoscopy; C. L. a 52-year-old male scheduled for a colonoscopy; K. M. a 21-year-old female scheduled for an
Regina Geis is a ten-year old female who is diagnosed with celiac disease. No one in her immediate family has been diagnosed, including her parents and her younger sister. Celiac disease is an autoimmune disease of the digestive system that is usually indicated by long-lasting inflammation in the small intestine that occurs when a protein from the plant called gluten, which is usually found in grains such as wheat, barley, and rye, is consumed, resulting in an interference of absorption of nutrients from food (Calvo, Soriano del Castillo, & Vinuesa, 2012.) Regina was diagnosed with celiac disease when she was five. After she was diagnosed, she was put on a gluten-free diet.
While I wish finding my way around the school was my only problem, I was faced with some internal challenges. As the school year started, my friends slowly started to leave to these “big shot” colleges or simply move away to other community colleges. I, too, wanted the complete “college experience” somewhere in Arizona or across the country; yet I felt stuck and unaccomplished. I also felt jealousy which could have been because I did not get to decorate my dorm room.While talking about dedicating hard work to your education, Gina Rodriguez said “Just remember, during those times of fear and doubt, that you are right now discovering your true strength.” And in those times of doubt, I reminded myself why I could not just move and leave everything behind. The root of my challenges and concerns are my family. As I enrolled as a full time student, my family was fighting some financial problems which created marriage troubles for my parents. I could not leave at a time like this. I knew it was not the first time my parents were talking divorce but somehow I knew it was best to stay. I got financial aid from the school which saved me the fuss of asking my parents for money. It really meant so much to not put another worry on their
Got into College, in Dominican Republic, in the year 2012, but I did not feel comfortable. I was afraid of college and without knowing what was happening I stopped attending. Later realizing that I was going through anxiety and social anxiety, I was terrified of what others might think of me and I wondered to myself why and who I
The path I have taken toward obtaining my Bachelor of Science Degree in Business, Management, and Economics, with a concentration in Marketing, has been different than I expected when I first started college. I started at Brooklyn College at 17-years-old and frankly, I wasn’t ready for it. I struggled to balance an awkward schedule of classes and inconsistent study habits. I never felt completely comfortable there and after two years of performing poorly, I enrolled at Kingsborough Community College. I viewed it as a new start and seized the opportunity. I decided to major in Business Administration; I made the Dean’s List, and saw my grades improve dramatically. After completing 74 total credits, I decided I was ready to return to a four-year-college. I initially considered returning to Brooklyn College but at this time my grandmother had become ill. I applied to the College of Staten Island which was near her home and would make it possible for me to help her out with whatever she needed and attend school locally. This worked out great for my first semester. I carried a 3.47 GPA and decided to major in Business, with a concentration in Marketing. At this time, I was working part-time while in school. But due to certain circumstances, I was forced to obtain a full-time job in addition to other part-time commitment. This made it very difficult for me to enroll in classes as most of the upper-level marketing classes that I needed for graduation were only offered during the day when I would now be working. I enrolled in night and weekend classes for the next two semesters but my grades began to suffer. In the last semester I tried to register at the College of Staten Island, I couldn’t fit the courses I needed into my ever-growing w...
In the spring of 2012 I enrolled at Central Ohio Technical College. I really enjoyed being in school the first quarter. When the summer quarter started my father’s condition started to change. He began screaming loudly and he would scream from night until morning and all during the day. It got to the point where I could not study, I could not sleep and the stress of the situation overwhelmed me. The change in his behavior came suddenly and it is the reason why I withdrew from school in the summer of 2012. I was so discouraged by what happened that I did not handle the withdrawal process very well. I am sorry for that, and wish I could do it over. Part of my father’s illness is paranoia which causes him to not trust. Also, he does not like it when people say his ill. Approaching him for help in this situation is not an option. So finding proper documentation is almost impossible because his information cannot be released without his consent. However, I was able to find discharge papers from when he was released from twin valley behavioral hospital in April of this
The summary of CDC Reportable Diseases contains the statistics of the notifiable illnesses and conditions. "A notifiable infectious disease or condition is one for which regular, frequent, and timely information regarding individual cases is considered necessary for the prevention and control of the disease or condition" (www.cdc.gov). Reportable diseases and conditions are reported to public health authorities by health care providers. Protection of public health is ensured by proper identification and follow up cases.

My college career started with me just going to school to take PE classes while neglecting my main required core classes and always pushing them aside without any urgency to succeed in finishing school. A couple of years would go by with little to no progress and lack of motivation to succeed in finishing my college required classes. Soon landing a career oriented job and finding myself dropping out of college to focus on my work career. From this point and time I would learn the importance of school and the value of finish college through my years of experience at work. This awareness of value in finishing college would motivate me to want to go back to school. Soon I would find myself at American River College counseling center. Here I was coming back to school unsure of myself and in an environment where I previously never found success in school. After meeting with my counselor I was recommended to take a college success course. This course is part of a program called the Accelerated College Education (ACE). Because I was able to learn along the years being out of school the importance of gaining an education I gained a new motivation for school, signed up for this ACE program, and enroll in the college success
I have returned to college after being out of school for several years because, I am motivated to obtain my associates degree. I want to finish what I started years ago. When I was in high school, I became discouraged with my studies due to an illness and ended up dropping out of school. A few years after that I had an opportunity to return to school and obtain an Associate’s degree. When I started the program I was doing well until my illness returned. I found myself having a hard time juggling my school work, my illness and a job. I eventually started failing classes and ended up giving up again. At this point I had once again, let life’s challenges win the battle. Looking back, I understand that I failed when I returned to school because I wasn’t mentally prepared nor was I mature enough to deal with issues as they happened. Looking back at it now I understand that I made a terrible error permitting fear to take
Substantial studies have supported the findings that the previous clinical experience could impact on the choice of career of undergraduate nursing students in the future (Happell, 2008, pp. 849-850). All articles included in this review are primary research that discuss the influence of previous clinical experience to undergraduate nursing students career choice.
I had finally settled into living on my own and was doing well adjusting from my life in the foster system. I went to PIMA Medical Institute to speak with the admissions counselor, who worked out a schedule for me and had my classes starting two weeks from that meeting. I committed myself to the next step of my education. The only exception I gave myself were the breaks from school and studying that I used to work two jobs as a server at Red Robin and Chili’s Bar and Grill. I worked day and night, ending my vocational course with a 3.7
Has there ever been a time where you were very patient, but had every right not to be? Me personally, I’m not a very patient person at all. However, there have been instances where I have been very patient when I usually would not have been. This is a story about a night I spent with my two friends, Jane and Sarah. They both did some things that would normally annoy me, but I was unusually calm through the night.
Critique of a Clinical Evaluation Tool Educating nurses while ensuring the safety of the patient and the learner is quite a challenge. Clinical faculty face this challenge each semester as nursing students enter into the clinical world of nursing. In order to evaluate nursing students in the clinical field, an evaluation tool is necessary to serve as in instrument that will allow the faculty to assess each learner’s competence (Bonnel, 2012). The purpose of this paper is to critique the design and content of the clinical evaluation tool utilized by the Massachusetts College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences (MCPHS) School of Nursing in Manchester, NH. This evaluation tool is utilized in is NUR 325, Provider of Care 1: Adult and Elder Health.
In my life I have experienced many significant changes; however the one that stands out the most is the risk I took in transferring from West Montgomery High School, a minute county school, to Asheboro High School, a superior city school. After completing my sophomore year at West Montgomery High School (WMHS) I felt that I was not being challenged enough in the class room therefore that summer I decided it was time to move. After choosing two schools I could possibly transfer to, an event happened that would strongly impact my decision. My mother who was a teacher at WHMS decided it was also time for her to change locations as well. Coincidently my mother found employment at Donna Lee Loflin Elementary in Asheboro North Carolina. With her shift I was granted the chance to attend Asheboro High without paying tuition. After touring Asheboro High School with a family friend who is a teacher at Asheboro High I instantly knew that I wanted to attend the school. The reputation for Asheboro High was that they had accomplished teachers who would better prepare me for rigorous college course...
I highly value my education, and I commute about two hours every day to and from school. I went to a private catholic primary school and wanted to continue that education at a similar high school. However, my dad was laid off, while I was in eighth grade. Due to the high price of the private high schools, I decided that it would be best to go to a public high school. I transferred into another school district, in order to go to an academically challenging school that would give me a great educational foundation that I would be able to build upon in college. In the end, I was glad that I made that choice. I’ve made really good friends who have encouraged me to do my best, and I’ve also worked hard at achieving satisfaction with all of my
