Field Experience Research Paper

I would like to thank you for giving me the opportunity to be placed at your clinic as a student of Occupational Therapist Assistant and Physiotherapist Assistant on the Rehab unit. I believe that the services you have to offer are incredibly unremarkable such acute care and specialized programs. I am looking forward to expanding my knowledge about Trillium Health Care Hospital and what it has to offer.

When entering the facility the first week I felt nervous and excited at the same time. During the second week, I was feeling more comfortable and confident working closely with the other health care providers and residents in the facility. The most interesting and enjoyable part of my time at the facility was caring and assisting

The coursework at the University of Iowa prepared me sufficiently for my internship as well as entering into my future occupation. All of the coursework has been relevant to my experience in my internship thus far. I have utilized assessment skills that I was taught and have put those in to practice. In the recreation leadership class, we learned how to properly conduct an interview. This has been helpful in administering assessments. In the hospital, we use the APIE process almost every day. When planning activities, the flow theory is always something that I keep in mind and have found helpful. I want the activities that I plan to be enjoyable for the patients, not too hard, and not too easy. While working with the geriatric psych population,

Being the clinician and conducting an intake interview was one of the most the practical, informative, and thought-provoking assignments I have completed throughout undergrad thus far. While allowing me to practice clinical interviewing skills, I learned how difficult yet essential various skills were in order to successfully complete an intake process. Specifically, I found taking a direct approach and asking specific questions was most successful. For example, with my client, Ian, I was able to find out the most relevant information about his manic tendencies through asking him specific questions. His intake form described having manic tendencies in the past, though there was not enough information there to really get to the core reason for

Upon beginning my first class at Walden University, it has been difficult to see myself getting through this 8-week course. Furthering my education has been something I have struggled to accomplish for the last 4 years. I almost decided to give up and continue being just a high school teacher. However, being a senior teacher that motivates my students to go above an beyond to reach their goal has pushed me to work hard and start a new journey. Though it is only the beginning of my journey, I can see graduation. In learning about Walden University this week, I have gained insight on what it will take to experience graduation. In this paper I will discuss what I hope to have learned and mastered while being a student at Walden University.

Today since I woke up I was nervous, anxious and you could say that even scared, but as I learn from my last experience with Fundamental class this kind of emotion of being little scary is normal because nobody knows what the day can bring to us. Also I felt pride and joy because I am proud of where I’ve come so far as being an immigrant who came to this country as many others looking for their dream without knowing the language or even the culture.

As modern Americans think about how lucky we are in some situations and problems.Because for some people, there is or was not any such as luck or escape from the situations and problems like we have today. In the antebellum South and a prison camp Camp 14 in North Korea, their lives are different and hard. In addition, they all lived in the conditions that threaten, oppress, and brainwash them. For them, they don’t have any choice for education and freedom. They all lived in the life cycle that they never had choice to live themselves. There many way to compare and contrast about what is it like to be a slave in the antebellum South and a prisoner in Camp 14 North Korea.

This learning actively greatly assisted in building my confidence, which I required in order to be successful in the new graduate RN role. Good collaborative working relationships are based on clear communication and collaboration with the patient and all members of the healthcare team. (Kieft, et al. 2014) This semester I had no issues with regards to speaking with physicians and other members of the healthcare team, and I continued to actively participated and contributed to daily rounds on all 3 critical care units.

I was not sure about what to write for my journals, I did not want to write more than just my daily duties. I ended up thinking that writing about my perspectives, goals, objectives about my duties at work and the homeless shelter system. I started working at the Aguila INC Shelter, which is my place of work and internship. I started in November 10, 2015 as a Case Manager and it has been a challenging place for me. I did not have the experience, knowledge and I dare to say the educational background that may make me feel more comfortable to work with Homeless Families. However, the Program Director of the program gave me the courage and the correct inspiration on how to prepare myself and to learn quickly. Her words during the job interview

I’m interested in transferring to VCU because of your medical program. In the Spring of 2014 my boyfriend was in a motorcycle accident and spent two weeks at VCU Medical Center. The care he received there was the best. Not only do the care for the patient, they care for the family too. I remember breaking down and crying in the Gateway Building. One of your doctors stopped and talked to me and comforted me. I knew after those two weeks that I wanted to be a part of the team there and study at VCU. Now I am an employee at VCU Medical Center as a Mental Health

How was I going to ask someone if they are abusing any chronic substances? What would my reply be? The endless scenarios I made in my head of how things would go were endless, like the interviewee yelling at me for asking something to personal or them overwhelming me with something to personal. That morning to say being there was a relief would be an understatement, another student and I from class were the only ones who showed up aside from Liz. One look at his face and I could tell he was just as nervous as I was, which made me not so nervous anymore. Liz was great in asking us if we had any questions or if we were worried about something, she defiantly helped in making me feel more confident when it was time to interview. Not only where we set up with donuts and coffee but we also had someone set up next to us from Dallas, TX who was testing them for AIDS at no

Have you ever experienced the rush of adrenaline or exhilarated pressure that challenges you? During the week of August 2nd through August 8th, I had the opportunity to shadow doctors at medical camps in Matamoros. Mexico. Also during this time, I was struggling between my career choices for college. On August 6th, I was observing Dr. Joby, an emergency room doctor. Every patient he observed he moved with swiftness and elegance and challenged me by giving me small tasks on getting to know the patients and observing the little things when providing care. This event resulted in me deciding in becoming a family practice physician. I decided upon this because I want to experience the connections Dr. Joby has with all of his patients and the constant

I am sure you have heard the old adage that “You don’t get a second chance to make a first impression”, however, I do have a very strong faith in believing with scripture “With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible” (Matt. 19-26).

I was highly impressed by the overall teamwork in the emergency department. It has a sense of organized chaos that would have taken me some time to adjust to. My nurse and I ended up going through a large group of patient during the time I was there. The nurse has this uniformity to how she would get her tasks done. The thing that through me off was the amount of stuff got done with our patients by other people. The CNA was always there to get vitals and take care of anything additional the patients needed. The resource nurse helped with our potential stroke patient. He went through the whole neuro assessment and after my nurse and I placed a catheter he was quickly sent off to interventional radiology to get a clot removed. The efficiency

Having the chance to experience this Mock Job Interview open my eyes up to a lot of things. Being a Roanoke Valley Early College these are some of the great opportunities that you will receive. In class we took notes on how to properly do an interview from the day that you will walk in the door until the moment you walk out. We learned the expectations on how to properly groom, dressing, sit in the chair, answering questions with length, grammar, eye contact, firm handshake, making resumes and thank you letters.
