Due Date: The day after your lesson presentation by 8:00 A.M.

Content:

1. Positive Statement
What are you most proud of in your Lesson 2 Presentation and why?

I am most proud of the information and the program I spoke about because I felt like it helped my classmates get a feel on what its like to care for a premature baby.

2. Questions to Consider
       a.     What assessment would you give yourself on your Lesson 2 Presentation (self-assessment)?

       AE       P         ( AP)      CR       NC

       b.     Explain why you deserve that grade using evidence from the Lesson 2 component contract.
I think I deserve an AP because I didn't meet time but I believe I had good information and followed all the other requirements.

3. What worked for you in your Lesson 2?
In my lesson 2 presentation what worked for me was talking about the COPE program. 

4.  (What didn't work) If you had a time machine, what would you have done differently to improve your Lesson 2?

If I could back I would've extended my speaking time 2 more minutes and had a timer with me so that I know where I was at in time.

5. Finding Value
What do you think your answer #2 is going to be?  

I think my answer would be something to do with treating premature baby disorders and diseases they encounter. 

Alphabetizing patient paperWERRRK

The last 2 days I've gone to volunteer at Casa Colina Ive had the worst luck in showing up those days because Infection control department is in need of a lot a help. Its ok I don't mind doing paperwork but I rather help patients out.

I was given a huge stack of incoming employee paperwork and had to do reorganize everything and put it in alphabetical order. 

I made a total of roughly 100 copies. I didn't know that some copy machines were capable of stapling as well! It made life 10x easier.

Blog 10: The Holiday

Title: Senior Project, The Holiday
Label: Research
Due Date: January 7, 2014 by 8AM

Content:
1.  It is important to consistently work on your senior project, whether it is break or we are in school.  What did you over the break with your senior project?

• Of course, it is important to work on our senior project at all times. Over my break I finally got through with all my shots and started volunteering at Casa Colina. Today I was at the rehab center for about 5 hours and I got to interact with patients. I went through the rooms and asked patients if they were in need of anything. I also put 5 incoming admits charts together and labeled each of them with the patients name. 

2.  What was the most important thing you learned from what you did and why?  What was the source of what you learned?

• From volunteering, the most important thing I learned from it was to always greet patients with a smile and to always keep in mind that these patients aren't as a capable as we are so to always be patient towards them and provide them with anything they need in regards to their conditions. (By in regards to their conditions I mean if a patient would like water or any sort of nourishment I have to check in with his or her nurse because the patient might hold swallowing precautions.)

3.  If you were going to do a 10 question interview on questions related to answers of your EQ, who would you talk to and why? 

• Regarding a 10 question interview related to my EQ, I would talk to a Neonatal Nurse because the answers she and or he could provide me will be more accurate as oppose to answer that can be found on the internet.
