BLS Course Reflection
Teaching experience at this point in my career is exclusive to Basic Life Support for Healthcare Providers (BLS).

    Executive Summary

    The Blackhorse Pike School District offers a lifesaving program for children to aid in saving lives using Automatic External Defibrillators (AED’s). Staff is also provided training in CPR and AED usage. The Blackhorse Pike School District presently provides education for over 4,000 children each school year. This school has been ranked in the top 75 elementary school in New Jersey. This is located in a growing area and expects to have a population increase of about 20 percent in the next 10 or so years. Over the years, children are seen more with asthma, cardiac issues, diabetes, and allergies. This can be life threatening illnesses and we can help these children to live longer, healthier lives with the proper education and equipment. This school district has one AED per building and only those nurses who are trained are allowed to operate them. If a child became unresponsive other staff are most likely not educated and trained on CPR or AED usage. Only teachers, nurses, and coaches are required to be trained in these. With this being said, this program’s purpose is to have all staff trained to save lives. All hallways will have an AED installed and staff will know how to use it as well as be CPR certified. Research shows in the event of a cardiac arrest, the time from witnessed arrest to the delivery of a shock from the AED should be no longer than five minutes for the best outcomes (American Heart, 2010). This has to do with an This is due to the fact that about half of witnessed cardiac arrests are the shockable rhythm of ventricular fibrillation for the first few minutes of arrest. With each hallway having access to an AED, help will be provided to shock within the recommended time frame and increase the number of children who survive a cardiac arrest (American Heart, 2010).…

    CC112 Semester Self Reflection

    This semester’s CC112 course was quite interesting for me. I thought I wouldn’t do well because of the topic, controversial issues, but it actually tuned out I was wrong. I enjoyed learning and writing about the never ending controversial issues around the world. I’ve witnessed a great amount of improvement in my work since coming into this course. Taking CC112 has helped me better my organization and writing skills by practicing the writing process with each essay, being able to incorporate outside sources into my work using MLA standards of quotation and reference, and being able to write a correct works cited page according to MLA standards. Based on the comments I received from my professor at the beginning of the semester, I needed to work on these very things.…

    English Class Reflective Analysis

    My former English professor would always say “find a way 101”, whenever a student found themselves struggling in her class. At first I did not understand why she was so rude to her students, this was until after I graduated high school when I realized I was wrong. She was not rude, she was not mean, she was preparing her students for college level English classes. Reflecting on my past encounter with the toughest teacher at my former high school, I can say I feel prepared for a college level class. Although I may have taken the most rigorous class in high school, that does not mean I am expected to pass without falling short. However, I am certain that I am ready for the challenges that my professor will assign me in the fall.…

    Mid service learning reflection

    I am currently completing my service learning at Martin Luther King Elementary School working with children ranging from Kindergarten to 5th grade in an after school program. This program provides the children with a safe and comforting place to do their homework, hangout with their friends, and get a snack. Since I am just getting to know these children I do not know everything about them and their background, so I do not have a lot of examples that relate back to the class work we do. In class I feel as if a lot of the material we focus on relates back to the parents, home life, and how they have been raised thus far. I only see them once a week, so I cannot make judgments regarding their course of development and influences that have left impacts on their life. The two examples that I have noticed that we have covered in class include Vygotsky's Sociocultural Theory and The Ecological Systems Theory. I have noticed elements of the Sociocultural Theory in the children’s dialogue. Considering their age the children have a very advanced dialogue with rather colorful language. Personally, I was not even familiar with some of these words that Kindergarteners and 1st graders are expressing. I think this has to do with the culture they were raised and possibly the community. I think that the Kindergarteners at the school pick up on language that is used by the older kids and then they start to say it. Although teachers and administrators try their best to stop the kids from using bad language and reprimanding them when they do I feel as if the colorful language they have come to know is forever imbedded in their brain. I think the Ecological Systems Theory plays a big role in understanding these children and the school I am working at. For me it was rather different to go into a school like this in a bad neighborhood and see children behaving in ways that I had never seen before. However, for the teachers that work there are so used to it they don’t even…

    Personal Goals

    Life for me has been very interesting. I started off in the nursing field as a nursing assistant and patient care tech at 19 working my way through school both full-time and part-time until I finally graduated from Virginia State University with my Associate’s of Science Degree in Nursing. After accomplishing that goal I have reached somewhat of a plateau in my life I have so many short and long-term goals I want to accomplish both professionally and personally. Some of professional goals are, becoming a supervisor at my current job, obtaining my Advance Life Support Certification, obtaining my Bachelor’s Degree in Nursing, enlisting into the Navy Nurse Corps, becoming a Nurse Practitioner, and eventually one day becoming an Administrator of an Acute Care Facility. As well as having professional goals in life you should have personal goals. My short and long term-personal goals are; relocating to Chicago, Illinois, getting married, and having children. The typical American Dream. These goals are not far from my reach with self motivation and perseverance all of these goals can be accomplished.…
