My clinical assignment for my spring semester of junior year is at Misericordia University. At Misericordia University I do not technically have an assigned sport in which I will be working with for the entire semester. I am looking forward to this upcoming semester because I feel like it is going to be different than at King’s College. This semester I will be able to work with a wide variety of sports teams and athletes, compared to only being assigned to one specific team, as I was last semester with the men’s soccer team.
For my spring clinical rotation, I have a few goals I would let to set. My first goal that I would like to achieve is that when an athlete comes into the athletic training room, I would like to gain more confidence in

As an athletic training student I need to be able to communicate better with other individuals because I am going to have to do that on a daily basis for the rest of my life. The best way to practice my communication skills with other patients and health care professionals is going to come with more experience and time practicing athletic training. Second, when it comes to the clinical setting I need to take more of an initiative, such as coming up with ideas and solutions needed to help improve athletes and other patients. The third weakness as an athletic training student would be that after I finish an evaluation, I always tend to find another athletic training student or preceptor to evaluate my patient to double check to determine if we both end up getting the same diagnosis, rather than being confident that I have made the correct diagnosis. Over the period of the spring semester I can help improve my weaknesses by continuing to work hard both in my classes and at my clinical rotations. Also, I believe I can improve my weaknesses by just continuing to gain more experience with athletic training, and I feel like the more time I spend at my clinical rotations, the more I will
I have been working in the care industry for the past three years. During these three years I 've had the opportunity to work within different care settings, from the elderly, learning disability, challenging behaviours and supported live in to name a few. Throughout this period I managed to obtain countless caring skills working in a community and hospital setting.

In P5 of my work I am going to outline and discuss the strategies and procedures used in health and social care to reduce the risk of abuse. The aim of the independent safeguarding Authority (ISA) was established under the Safeguarding Groups Act 2006 to protect children and vulnerable adult to those who might abuse them. The strategy in order to achieve this is through mentoring people who seek access through their work, paid, unpaid and voluntary. As they have to be registered under the vetting and barring scheme and will be checked against one of two barred list. Reference can be defined as being information that is written by a pervious employer that tells the workplace what type of person the individual is and if their experience is valid and if they have the experience to work with vulnerable adult.
College is often regarded as a time of exploration, a time to discover interests and passions that ignite a desire to seek sagacity in a field that will alleviate the burdens of others and fulfill one’s self wholeheartedly. It is essential to me that my college career allows me to strive for educational excellence and moral enrichment simultaneously. Through the Pre-Physical Therapy track it will be my focus to obtain an education to help others as I have been helped in the past. Restoring movement and functionality to someone’s life is deeply connected to SPU’s vision, for the work that physical therapists do is equally as transformative for the therapist as it is to the patient. To ensure someone receives the treatment they need to carry out the life they want is paramount
As I grew up, I started thinking about the careers I would want to pursue. Instantly, I was interested in being a clinical social worker. I want to select this career for many reasons, but the main reason is because I want to help people mentally and physically when they are in need. The median salary for a clinical social worker is $62,000 in Colorado, and a clinical social worker works 5 to 6 hours a day. A typical day for a social worker is talking to clients, attending community meetings, and handling emergencies.

Clinical Audit Assignment. Introduction. There are many benefits in carrying out a clinical audit. It allows nurses to evaluate the care they are giving, encourages them to keep better records, focuses on the care given rather than the care giver themselves and achieves a feasible quality of nursing care (Harmer and Collinson 2005).
According to my preceptor last semester I demonstrates a sound understanding of self-care, self-reflection and work life balance. I also have an “understanding of the components of the nurse patient relationship, by maintaining an open and professional relationship with the patients.” I am also “demonstrated self-direction and initiative” (B. Mahy, personal communication, DATE). Rena Hania, my current preceptor indicates that my strengths include “Maturity, professionalism and desire for autonomy. Asks appropriate questions, and have a gift for connecting with my patients” (R. Hania, personal communication,
Patient centered care is an approach of forming a therapeutic relationship between care providers, older people and families, mainly focusing on the values and respect (lenus). Care of which is respectful to an individual’s needs, values, social circumstances, lifestyles and family situations by putting them at the centre of care is a priority. This is a way of thinking and doing things in a way of using health and social services as partners. Meeting the needs of the older person include personalising the care of preference, taking account the physical comfort and safety of the individual and Making sure patient has access to appropriate care when they need it. Involvement of families is important as the centre of decisions, whilst working along side professionals for the best outcome.
PATIENT CARE EXPERIENCE AND PARTNERING IN CARE Name of Student Institution Affiliation Patient care experience and Partnering in care Health care is continuously evolving with improvements in cures and medical equipments. Nevertheless, this does not transform into better health care delivery.

Reflecting on our strengths and weaknesses before starting our first practicum will be a good memento for our practice. It allows me to figure strengths that give me hope and confirm that I can do it. My written weaknesses will be a good tool to know what to improve in my practice right from the beginning. Our goals are a good way to see where our strengths and weaknesses fit in there and how taking care of our selves is of prime importance. I have always had a genuine interest into others.
Strengths and Weaknesses My three major strengths are medication administration, communication with patients, and asking questions when I do not fully understand something. I feel like throughout my preceptorship these have grown stronger, and have helped me to be successful. My three major weaknesses that I have been focusing on throughout my residency are communicating with physicians, completing skills I am unfamiliar with, and improving my confidence. I would say that these have improved quite significantly, but I still have a ways to go.
Last semester was composed of a critical care lecture class and two clinical courses, which were mental health and community. I try my best to be open-minded and willing to make every new experience a learning opportunity. For my community clinical we were placed at an assisted living center. For our first few meetings I could tell that the group’s overall impression of our placement was not favorable. At first the feelings about our clinical were not spoken outright and could be seen as withdrawal.
224). Whether it is goals for their nutrition, warm up, drills, cool down, and also develop short and long term goals. I want to explain to the athlete that just showing up and being physically present at practice will not improve their performance because experts know better (pg. 224). Before each practice I will talk to the athlete to see what their goals are for the practice and then help them reach the goals throughout practice. Then after practice ask the athlete if they feel like they reached the goals or not and how we could do better the next time.
