It was inspiring to see how appreciative the patient was in the thoughtfulness and creativity of the therapist in choosing an activity that she enjoyed. I also saw several patients who were uncooperative and slightly combative in their sessions, which is expected in a geriatric center. I think it is important for a prospective Occupational Therapist to realize the challenges that may accompany a healthcare practitioner duties and see how problematic situations are handled. I saw the therapists take into account the emotional state of the client by patiently asking questions as to how they can assist them with their dilemma. It was a valuable example of how an Occupational Therapist treats the whole person, including their psychological, emotional and even social needs.
Linda Orlasky On a very good day, one of my patients said to me. "If I hadn't met you, I can't figure out where I would be". She lived with serious pains and tiredness as well as getting addicted to taking pills on a daily basis. Now she lives a fun-filled and vibrant life.
I could not believe CSI were the ones In charge of all those free activities that are constantly happening almost every week at the school. It was indeed a pleasure to have finally meant Ms. Alejandra, and having the opportunity to interview her. In a brief introduction, she began by explaining her view on servant leadership, which she states, “She believes in a group of people working together to achieve a goal, not in a dictatorship.” She then continues to talk about how she operates in
PO identified who to ask for help, what to do when in the crisis situation, how to deal with stresses, and how to manage negative unhealthy thoughts. PO stated “mom is supportive of my recovery; I can talk to her any time”, “I have lots of sober friends can talk to too”. PO had a positive response to treatment.
To illustrate this idea, the author compares the older soldiers to the young soldiers, when the narrator states, “They have wives, children, occupations and interests... We stood on the threshold of life. And so it would seem. We had as yet taken no root... [We] do not know what the end may be.
I just hope that I am able to keep up and stay with this group of individuals because I am not sure I would be as successful if it weren’t for the bond we have developed these past nine weeks. I once heard some of the best friendships you will ever have will be made in nursing school and I can definitely see that already with a few. I am sure by graduation day we will all be crying tears of joy and sadness since we did it but will no longer be together. This quarter has been a rollercoaster of emotions, mostly good, and I look forward to what next quarter brings. Hopefully my brain can hold all this information, I feel like it grows 2 sizes every week!
Reflecting back on my experience at the NEOBIF conference this past Friday I was able to gain many different educational opportunities and to interact with different traumatic brain injured (TBI) patients. The conference was beneficial to me as a graduate student because I was able to observe and interact with multiple TBI patients. Prior to the conference I had some concerns regarding the event, but after the event I was able to reflect on my concerns and I realized that I was never put into any of those situations I was concerned about. After attending the NEOBIF conference on Friday, I had many different learning opportunities and experiences.
There is diversity even between families and the reason is because we are all different and unique. Health providers must have this in mind when attending people from different cultures. Avoiding to do so might cause mistakes and unfair treatment. Individuals go to health care providers in order to heal, however over the course of history injustice has happened in the health care system. By doing so it affected her personal belief she could have been cared for better, and also they failed to communicate and inform the family thus inflicting pain in them for years.
[In the summer and fall 2016, I was able to excel in my classes again because I was enjoyed the classes that I took, in addition to the help that I received. During fall quarter of 2016, I began my first computer science class, and was thoroughly interested in the subject. Although it was disappointing to repeat my English course, my second English course had provided me a new perspective to achieve better grade than previously. Despite the fact that I had to repeat my second computer class in Spring 2017, I was quicker to learn, manage my time, and present all of my course work clearly to excel in the
This paper provides a description of the education program for nurse practitioners in the Université de Montréal’s Faculty of Nursing, widely considered a leader in the discipline. It further reports the results of a study examining the roles and responsibilities of NPs and of the factors that, despite the impediments to progress the practice faces, motivate them to pursue development of their abilities in carrying out their duties and making “a difference.” NPs are proud of being a source of reference for their colleagues and believe strongly in inter- and intra-professional collaboration while acknowledging and respecting their limitations, by refusing to assume any responsibilities not delegated to nurse practitioners. Comments: The conclusions were based on the findings and logically stated. Recommendations "Additional research is needed in other classroom settings to see if consistent findings about cognitive performances, time requirements, and attitude are achieved."
How she relayed the message to the readers were very smart in the fact that she was unbiased. This was an article that anyone could read and it wasn’t just pointed to a particular group of people. Her personal experiences throughout the story made us sympathize for her, which is another great tactic that she used. Her tone throughout the story are both defensive and sympathetic which, again, pull you into the story even further. Ultimately, I do think that the message that Balsamo was trying to make came across to the readers.
