A dog is more than just a pet, it is a companion who has a greater impact on an individual than one could ever imagine. It may seem like a foreign topic but any pet for example, a dog, you own has a much greater potential than just being an animal you care for daily. These domestic animals can impact you in a greater way than just being around for you on the daily. Nowadays, there is a growing percent of dog owners who are looking into making their dogs into a therapy dog to benefit themselves and others. The use of therapy dogs has most recently become more popular, “...New York, began a reading dog program in late 2008, and it has been highly successful” (Francis). Overall, the use of therapy dogs is becoming more popular in many different
I should be considered for the Kaiser Permanente Health Care Scholarship because I have proved and accomplished more than what I thought I would be capable of in my education, I am passionate for the health industry, and I financially need to be to succeed. I will continue my education by pursuing my goal to become a Registered Nurse. I first considered Registered Nursing when I joined the Health Academy and realized how passionate I was to help others. Throughout my years in the Health Academy, my passion grew drastically. My summer of 2015 was dedicated to two internships; one being a Medical Assistant (200 hours) and another as a Physical Therapy Aide (80 hours). These internships helped me get an inside perspective of how nurses go above and beyond their everyday duties to ensure patient care, setting a standard for me to go above and beyond in terms of my education, my service to others, and in life. With the changes in college tuition having increased and state support for college students having taken a decrease over the last couple of years, this scholarship would benefit me tremendously in my goals to continue my education.
Being in a military family had its perks. I was able to live all over the U.S., and in Japan. We travelled a lot and I got to see many beautiful countries and amazing historic landmarks. Not many people can say they have been exposed to half the stuff I have as a child during their lifetime. Also, because of the way my parents are about education I don’t take it for granted. I am fortunate enough to have worked hard my first year of college, and received an academic scholarship.
1.2 Different businesses and organisations are of course going to have different standards and procedures for communicating on the telephone. For the specific business which I work for we have to answer calls within a ‘three rings’ time scales or at least try to the best of our ability. We of course have a duty of care to help both of our internal and external customers. When we answer the phone it is company policy to state your name, your department followed by a polite opening phrase. For example – ‘‘Good Morning/Afternoon, You are through to Katie Fifield from Basildon Council’s planning department. How may I help you today?.’’ This is standard procedure and reflects positively on both you and your business. If you are making a call, you
In a qualitative survey to compare perspectives of 57 practitioners and 30 lay (patient) participants of the service provision of nutritional advice, lay participants reported that advice from GPs was either absent or was considered vague, imprecise and ‘meaningless’ as supported by the following quote from a participants about her mother: ‘… I asked my doctor about my mother’s diet because it worried me. I never received anything. He just said “try and make sure she has a well balanced diet…” They were frustrated when they found that practitioners were unable to give specific advice using terms such as ‘surprise’ and ‘disappointment’ to describe their experiences (6). An online survey on weaning timing in UK found that only 39% of respondents rated health visitor advice as most influenced their weaning decisions. But mothers (54%) who received conflicting advice from different people or those (16%) who were confused with the advice given had made inappropriate timing of weaning (P<0.00, R2=0.07) (7).
We all witnessed what happened on that day. Most of us 8th graders stood in disbelief. No one around me could speak but watch the mass tribulation unravel. Our country was under attack and for most of us life was about to change. My family soon changed after 9/11 and faced an uproar reality. It was only a matter of time before we knew my brothers would answer Americas call.
Each member of the team is responsible for managing their timing on a daily basis to ensure all customer needs are attended to within the working hours.
You can say that my journey with the Military started the day I was born. I was born on April 29, 1998 at the 7th Medical Group on Dyess Air Force Base in Abilene, Texas. With the love and care I received from the neonatal nurses that were stationed on Dyess Air Force Base I quickly lost the title of ‘premie’. In 1999 my mother and father were both assigned to Landstuhl Army Base in Germany, I appreciated the military letting them be together. I am so blessed having my mother as a Medical Technician, I knew I was always in great hands when I was sick. I think I might even call my mom when my kids are under the weather. My parents enrolled me in the care of ABC Montessori that teaches that children learn through play and exploring their environment.
Senior year is one of the hardest years a student will ever have. Not because the class are hard or the teachers are mean, but because this is the year where we must choose our career pathway. Whether that would be going to college or going to work right out of high school. Figuring out what I want my career to be has been the hardest choice I’ve ever had to make. There are so many options to choose from for what is right for me. I’ve always been interested in the medical field, but taking care of people is not something I want to do. I have a huge passion for working with animals. Animals have been in my life ever since I can remember. This is why I have made my decision on becoming a veterinary technician.
Executive Vice President Gordy Bratz, Honorary CSM of the Regiment, Ray Eagan, distinguished members of the 14TH CAV Association, families, friends, and anybody I’ve unintentionally left out—thank you for allowing me the unusual but privileged opportunity to stand before you tonight.
I believe that working with military families is more difficult than working with the military member or veteran, alone. I feel that I can identify with my clients’ veteran status and shared experiences (identification and countertransference); however, as I spent a large portion of time away from my family, I would probably feel guilt stemming from my own experiences of leaving behind my family if I were to work with military spouses and children. Also, another phenomena germane to military families that would be difficult for me to reconcile, is the heightened impact that military issues cause for military children. Lack of communication, role exit,
At a young age, we are all asked the same unfathomable question, “What do you want to be when you grow up?” A princess, a pilot, or a police officer are the conventional conceived replies. However, in my case, I knew from the beginning I wanted to be a veterinarian. Not only did I extrapolate this from my passion for animals but also my desire to lend a helping hand to people too . Of course, I did not know where my dreams would come true nor the full impact I wished to make on this world, but I know now that Colorado State University is the preeminent place to turn my seemingly insurmountable dreams into reality.
As a child, I always found an attraction towards interacting with animals and grabbed every opportunity to visit a zoo. Growing up, my fascination and interactions with the animal kingdom became more intimate and enabled me to develop a strong inclination towards the metabolical, physiological and psychological working of a living organism, from the size of a microscopic bacterium to the giants of the world such as whales and elephants.
To study Veterinary Medicine is not merely about taking care of sick animals. It is about showing compassion to the owners. It is preventing diseases before they occur. It is about research into treatment and cures of the diseases and in turn the protection of human health. It is about the challenge of making a diagnosis. It is for these challenges, that I know I want to pursue a career as a vet, and with a degree in Veterinary Medicine, I know I could successfully over come these challenges, confident that I have the knowledge to do so. I enjoy hands on, practical work, and I have developed my interest in these practical, in-clinic experiences during my eight weeks placement in veterinary clinics. My work experience was an enjoyable and
I have chosen for my program of study is Veterinary Science. In this job you will have to work with large animals as well as small animals. While you will have to work with them you will have to perform surgery, give shots, as well as prescribe medicine for the animals. If you take this study you can go into other jobs as well such as a large animal vet, small animal vet, vet assistance, equine vet as well as a vet tech. As a small animal vet you will take care of dogs, cats, and reptiles those are only a few of the animals you would work with. As a large animal vet you would only take care of large animals such as horses, cows, and pigs these are only a few. If you became a vet assistance you would help
