“There are so many good things, it is hard to choose, but it is definitely the interaction with my students and seeing them grow, I also enjoy visits from old students..”

    Everytime I see those blinding blue eyes that my 4 year old niece has, my mind goes straight to the day before she was born. On October 30th around 4pm, my sister, who was 9 months pregnant at the time, and I are sitting on our comfy brown suede couch. The cliche screams coming from the scary movie that’s playing in the front of the room. Little did I know that in just a few minutes my heart rate would go up, but not from the movie, from the horrors of childbirth.…

    I have decided to lean to nursing as a career for many reasons. The main reason i decided to turn to this field of work was feeling the need to help people in a way that my younger brother was helped when he was in out of hospitals. During this time i joined the voulanteer morton fire department to get a grasp and sense of working under pressure while remaining calm. Alot of the times i noticed ifyou are in a flusttered sense of mind it is best to leave the situation to someone who is more capable then end up causeing the situation to get much worse possibly causeing someone to get hurt or death. Later on when i began attending south plains i attended and became vice president of the star center student organization for a short period of time…

You walk down stairs to the welcoming aroma of breakfast filling your lungs as you walk into the dining room your mouth water like the Niagara Falls.

    This is another quote that focuses on the amount of women all over the world who are forced to last (through bad times) whatever harm comes their way. Not only in Afghanistan, but in every country, and every neighbourhood. This is an on going issue in the world that has been around for centuries and is one that is often times 'swept under the rug.' To me, this issue should not be over looked at all, and I would certainly like to see and take part in educating (communities of people) on women's…

    When I got to St. Vincent’s hospital I thought I was in labor but the doctor said my water wasn’t broken yet. So I had to walk up and down the hallway for the baby to come down. Then finally the doctor pulled my water. And oh my god I was in so much pain. The nurse said” Keep pushing, the baby is almost out.” With a final push I had my baby. She was the most beautiful little baby with dark hair and big light brown eyes. I called Diana.…

    When I was thinking about writing this journal post a particular experiences came into my head. I pushed it aside for the fact that it didn't fit the criteria for this journal. However, after struggling trying with writer's block, I gave in to my original thought. The experience I am going to be talking about doesn't fit the criteria of being a patient/nurse interaction because I wasn't with a “patient” or in a clinical setting.…

    I think this is a tricky situation to give advice on. It depends on Paul and Ava’s belief systems, culture, economic factors, and what country they live in. In America, its common and expected that mothers return to work (full-time) after their maternity leave. According to the Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993 (FMLA) states a mandate of 12 weeks of unpaid leave for mothers of newborn and adopted children (United States Department of Labor, 2017). I think most mothers only take two months or three months of leave. America seems to be the worst for unpaid/paid leave for maternity leave. Just look at the data table provided in the textbook on page 155 concerning weeks of leave.…

    I loved the curriculum and thrived in the smaller environment. Learning about the healthcare field and preparing to play a role in helping people achieve wellness was exciting. That the curriculum dovetailed nicely with the things I had already been studying in business, and that I wouldn’t have to touch anyone were two great bonuses.…

    When I was 16 years old, my grandma opened her very own government approved child care service. I decided that I wanted to help her but it was mainly because the 2 girls we had were really nice and polite. We had a girl who had just started the second grade and her sister, who was a middle school special ed student. I dedicated countless volunteer hours to helping them with their homework, creating learning activities and birthday parties for them . In a blink of an eye, the daycare had 14 kids and we pretty much had them 20 hours a day for 5 days a week.…

    The first reward is my desire to work with young people. I want to interact with young people and help them learn and develop. Teaching is a satisfying profession. A national survey suggests that teachers as a group are satisfied with the profession and their level of satisfaction has increased in the last 25 years (Introduction to Teaching, 2007, pg. 5). Being able to help in shaping our young people gives one a great feeling.…

    I loved being able to walk into the classroom and see all of those children run up to me with smiling faces saying that they miss me, asking me if I will be staying the whole day or asking me if I could play or read with them. They make me laugh, they give me hugs, they cheer for my presence and they are so observant. The most amazing feeling of all though is when the children tell me they…
