Our family had a gold claim on Pusch Ridge in the Santa Catalina Mountains until the 1970s, when mining was banned from any area around Tucson. I guess I followed in the family …show more content…
We serviced many award winning southwest jewelers with gem quality turquoise, Italian red coral, and lapis lazuli from Afghanistan. I also spent many hours designing jewelry with my hand cut stone beads. So some of the earrings I wear may be from that time. Bisbee was a unique and fun small town environment to live and raise kids. I have four grown daughters; Barbara – life counselor in Utah; Kimberly – event planner in San Francisco; Lindsey – in medical residency Corpus Christi, Texas; and Julia – RN in Cortez, CO. I have four grandchildren - Madeline (1995), Jack (1999), Garrett (2011), and Connor (2014). My favorite place to travel to is SW Colorado to visit little Connor who was born in January! I began studying nutrition and health as a young mother while living in Bisbee, Arizona. Food and exercise has continued to be a passion for me and has become a lifelong commitment to health and fitness. In my time away from the office, I enjoy cooking, gardening, reading and dancing with my partner, Luis. I also spend time doing Pilates and yoga or enjoying the wonderful trails around Tucson for a walk or

I grew up in Bloomfield, PA, a small city-like neighborhood about three miles away from downtown Pittsburgh. The community consists of a series of uniform type “row” houses, most backyards include a small grassy area with a fence that is shared by the neighboring house, and the alleyway in between is where the majority of our childhood games were played. Bloomfield is sometimes referred to as Pittsburgh 's Little Italy because of its historically Italian-American population. My neighborhood is full of kids, generations of Italian families, and the delicious scent of fresh bread baking from Sanchioli Brothers Bakery just a couple blocks away. The main road, Liberty Avenue, is complete with an array of Italian restaurants, novelty shops, bakeries,
Senior citizens. People of my generation tend to think of them to be uneventful and tedious individuals who aren’t the slightest bit interesting. However, I recently interviewed this woman named Kay Alloway who astonished me with how compelling her life was. Kay was born on June 14th, 1923 in Lawrenceville, Virginia. She became responsible very early as a child, since she was the oldest of 6 children.
As Woolston (2015) clearly conveyed, “Fatty, unbalanced, and oversized: That, in a nutshell, is the American diet.” With an escalation in fast food restaurants numbers, health food prices, and portion sizes, the typical American diet relics as a death sentence, encompassing fat, cholesterol, and sodium filled meals. Americans typically consume food that occurs quick and inexpensive, not comprehending the effect that this food deposits on their health. Apprehending the impact that the American diet places on health, the “Dietary Guidelines for Americans" serves as a guideline to help Americans rid of their old habits, reaching towards a healthy diet and weight.
Whether you are visiting New Mexico for the first time or you are a long-time resident, you need to check out Silver City in the southwestern part of the state. As we walked through the actual cliff dwellings, it was easy to imagine what it was like to live hundreds of years ago in this isolated canyon. The trail to the is about one mile and does have some steep and narrow sections, though there are benches provided so you can take a break and enjoy the view. Silver City is the gateway to the Gila National Forest, 3.3 million acres of forests, range, and wilderness.
Care Practice in the community UG no: 000910267 Bexley College no: 15023983 Residential and Nursing homes were controlled by Parts one and two of the Registered Homes Act (1984) until the Care Standards Act (2000) was presented in April 2002. The old Act had two units. Nursing homes were controlled under Part one, in addition residential homes under Part two.

The Care Standards Act is an enormous portion of legislation that goes far beyond purely regulating homes Nursing Times (2002).
Based on your readings from this section and the videos respond to the following questions and to 2 of your classmates. Describe a challenging, diversity-related situation that you have faced, and likely will continue to face in your nursing career. A challenging, diversity-related situation that I have faced, and likely will continue to face in my nursing career is caring post-operative patients with various pain and treatment beliefs. As a Med-Surg nurse, I often care for patients with countless diagnoses/surgeries and of various cultural beliefs and practices regarding pain and treatment beliefs.
Introduction Motivational interviewing is a collaborative, person-centred form of communication which focuses on the language of change. ‘It is designed to strengthen personal motivation for and commitment to a specific goal by eliciting and exploring the person’s own reasons for change within an atmosphere of acceptance and compassion’ (Miller et al., 2013, p.29). The technique of motivational interviewing was developed by two psychologists, Bill Miller and Steve Rollnick. Motivational interviewing is therapeutic to patients as it is based on a partnership, rather than a nurse-patient relationship (Heckman et al., 2010). There are four processes of motivational interviewing; engaging, focusing, evoking and planning.
I 've learned while conducting these interviews that both indivuials have similar issues within the healthcare system. one of the biggest issues both interviewees faces was the cost of healthcare and health insurance coverage. One of the interviewees has a chronic illness, and at times has to decide if she wants to purchase her needed medication or to buy groceries for herself and her family. The other interviewee although employed, doesn 't have health insurance coverage because its too costly every month. it seems they 're both appreciative of the fact there is a somewhat healthcare system with health care providers and professionals available to them, but feels its only available if you have health insurance coverage.
Andi Wallick Personal Statement Indiana University School of Medicine Degree Objective: M.S. Pathologists’ Assistant My interest in pathology dates back to high school. I enjoyed most sciences but especially sciences about the body. I knew then that I wanted to work in the field of pathology.
Please accept my resume to showcase my interest in the position of Resident Assistant. I believe that I am an excellent candidate due to my leadership ability, my academic achievement, and my overall attitude. I am a firm believer in academia being the top priority while in college and I have proven this attitude through my performance over the past semester. As a Political Science and International Business double major at Monmouth College, who is on the Pre-Law track, I aspire to work in politics one day as a Political Campaign Manager. My academic attitude, I believe, is important for a Resident Assistant to hold because as a RA, one should be a role model for the other members of the hall.
Resident Assistants serve many purposes and play many roles in the community. They help to build and promote a supportive and active community within their residence hall and across the campus, and offer support and guidance to their residents. This aids in making Geneseo feel more like home and a community rather than simply a school. RAs enforce Geneseo and Department of Student Life rules, while also being a more easily accessible and less intimidating resource to other students in need of help. I want to be an RA so that I can become more involved in the Geneseo community in a positive way, by helping and representing other students.
The faculty member I interview was Mary Menninger-Corder, a nursing professor. Mary was born and raised in California. She studied History at Berkeley University, then came to Washburn University in August of 1976. She started studying Nursing because they had an accelerated program for that. She then moved to New York City, and worked at the 1800 Bin hospital for awhile, then she moved back to Topeka, KS to find her job.
It took me a while to find nurses that wanted to participate in my interview. I was able to interview 2 nurses at a medical center because this week at my private practice, with the help of an Ecuadorian Audiologist who has ABR/ASSR system, we had a Microtia week from all over Bolivia and one of the mother’s was a nurse assistant, she made the contact with her boss and I was able to interview both, yesterday.

My experience in the client role was very eye-opening and helped me to gain a lot of insight about what it is like to endure a clinical interview. Overall, the interview went very well and my clinician had a lot of strengths that helped things to go very smoothly. At first, I was somewhat intimidated to be in this role. While knowing that this participation was completely imaginary and done solely for a project, I still had some trouble with accepting the fact that I was about to portray a character with mental illness.
