Recommended: My laboratory experience

This was the first day of entering a med tech lab. My supervisor was Jeser Leon, a graduate of the University of Belize. We were told we are not sent to work, but to learn. However, the lab tech said, as soon as I walked in, “I will have work for you in a moment.” I found that alarming, but, nonetheless I was eager. The first things I had to do to prepare for “work” was to wear my lab coat and put on gloves. I wasn’t even instructed to wash my hand first. I was told to focus a microscope on a urine sample. I had no idea how to do that since I had very little chance to practice and I had no idea what to look for. I eventually I was shown how to focus a microscope and had practice with the many urine sample that entered the lab that day. Since

    In the beginning of fall of 2016, I got a job as a medical assistant. It’s long process to get this sort of job, at least with the University of Utah so when I finally went through the orientation, lab training, computer training, and community clinics I got to work and realized there was, even more, training. Every clinic has its personal preferences and rules, so I had to start from scratch with the training I already had. As soon as I got therenoticeI was a given a quick tour of the clinic and given all the rules, passwords and regulations. It was already too much to handle, but I was memorizing as much as I could. I can’t always function under pressure, but I tried not to let my nerves get to me.

  • Canine Ovariohysterectomy Experience Essay

    511 Words  | 2 Pages

    This past week at my internship was rather busy. On Monday, I prepared the operation theatre and equipment required for a canine ovariohysterectomy. I observed the surgery as well as assisted a veterinary technician in monitoring the parameters of the anaesthetized patient. The rest of the day was then spent caring for the hospitalised patients making sure their cages were clean and that they were comfortable, as well as administering their medications. Also, I got to feed tablet medications to a cat by hand, which I found challenging and required a few tries before I succeed. Additionally, I aided the doctors in restraining patients for blood collection from the jugular and cephalic vein. I also observed in a consultation, how a fluorescein eye stain test is carried out to detect damage to the cornea.

  • Essay On Shadowing Experience

    373 Words  | 1 Pages

    For two semesters of my junior year, I interned at Huntsville Hospital, shadowing nurses and technicians in many different areas of the hospital, including the emergency room and cardiovascular units. Oddly enough, I liked giving obese, old patients bed baths, helping them to the bathroom, and cleaning their bed pans. But, don’t get me wrong. It wasn’t exactly what I loved doing, but I knew it was part of the job, and I willingly did the dirty work. By the end of my junior year, I knew I loved the hospital environment and wanted to eventually work there; however, I just didn’t know in what capacity.

  • Personal Narrative: The First Day Of Field

    881 Words  | 2 Pages

    The first day of field marks the beginning of a new teaching experience, and for that reason, the first day of field will forever be a nerve-wracking day for me. On September 13, 2016, I, Mr. Cataldo began a new teaching journey, at Carlstadt Public School, a suburban school, in Carlstadt, New Jersey—Mrs. Mariano’s sixth-grade language arts literacy classroom. While walking through the front doors of the school, numerous questions began to come to mind, such as the following: Will Mrs. Mariano and her students feel comfortable with my presence in their classroom? Will I establish a positive relationship with Mrs. Mariano and her sixth-grade students? Albert Einstein once said, “The only source of knowledge is experience” (Albert Einstein Quotes, para.1). Today, I am fully aware that in life, one’s personal and professional experience, both good and bad, enables he or she grow as a person and more importantly as a learner. For that reason, I find it pivotal for one to realize that in life, it is normal to feel nervous, as well as make mistakes; what matters is that he or she is more than capable of transforming his or her mistakes into successes.

  • Pharmacy Technicians

    It is this singular fact that very few people realize. A pharmacy technician who receives no formal training is responsible for not just the delivery of a patient’s medication, but also for their bill, their confidential information, and their life. The question now is, how can an uneducated individual be given so much responsibility? Technicians are granted these responsibilities because a pharmacist can not do the job alone. Pharmacists strive to mold each new technician into an employee that will realize what technicians really do.

    At the beginning of it all I did not know how I would feel. Knowing I’d be working with a medical examiner/detective from the Jackson County Sheriff’s Office made me feel nervous and excited. When he walked into the room I realized I’d be working with a 6”2’ man named Det. Timothy Pike who took his job very seriously. Throughout our meeting I would learn all kinds of things, from the directing of blood splatter, how the blood settles in the body after a certain amount of hours, and how death cause is determined. Along with these learnings, I was also able to watch and learn how an autopsy is done. I watched as they cut the body and took out the organs one by one weighing them and making sure there were no abnormalities. I’ve seen things most

    Ever since I was little I’ve been what you would call a “high achieving” kid. I did well in school, I did well in sports and I did well in my community. I was always the first one to class, and the last one to leave the field. I was the kid that all my friends’ parents compared their children to. I was the kid with a room full of trophies and awards. In my mind, the worst possible thing I could do was disappoint the people around me. In elementary school I was involved in every club imaginable. I was in the band, I played in the orchestra, I sang solos for chorus, I was in the math club, I was president of student council, I played travel soccer, I was involved in every activity possible, and I excelled in all of them.
