To accomplish my goal I did some refreshment my nursing skill and producers before clinical. I reviewed my nursing skill and procedure to refresh my brain about how to administer parental injection, the right site for IM and S/C, and size and length of needles. I reviewed my health and physical assessment videos and review my nursing skill notes how to assess head to toe and pain scale, Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) and CIWA Scale which helped me a lot to refresh my skills. Also, I looked up my previous clinical worksheets which reminded me some nursing diagnosis and…
In my life, in your life, we are going to come up upon to a thought situations. When I faced my first thought situation, I was not quite sure how to react. I was not quite sure how to handle it or help. “My son was chocking with a hotdog” it was the scariest day of my life. Hotdogs are one-off the most dangerous foods for children to eat. Since then, my life changed and I realized how important is to know CPR guidelines to help someone when help is need it.…
Life can have so many challenges a person will have to endure. Some will be making it to the NBA playoffs and others will be perfecting the cheesecake. For me, it would be the most, terrified thing a young person would ever have, the SAT. Know for its extremely dull black and white pages and its rigorously rough questions, I was about to prove myself against its makers, The College Board.…
My long term goal was to from Oklahoma State University with a BS in psychology. I wanted to achieve this goal while also enjoying my college experience by finding a balance between my social life and school work. The short term goals that I was able to accomplish since part I and II of the Goals Assignment were studying, going to sleep earlier (not staying up extremely late), and going home less often.…
Growing up my parents would have been proud of me graduating high school alone. Since I knew that’s all they really cared about at the moment, I never gave myself a true thought on what I wanted to do or become because I was just focused on graduating and nothing else. My second year of high school is when I was told by my counselor Mrs. Davenport that I should join clubs because it would look better on my application and resume for college. College was something that I never really discussed with anyone because no one in my family talked about ever going, yet I had a feeling that Mrs. Davenport knew what she was talking about. I then decided that since I’m doing track and can handle school, why not try an academic club out. There were so many clubs I could join, but I did not know what which club I would belong to. I honestly just choice one that I thought would be a smart…

Insight on why I may think the way I do. The focus is to analyze me so I can put aside anything that may hinder me as a Social Worker.…
Make good decisions. Do the right thing, no matter who is watching. Those words have been repeated and instilled in my mind since I was a young child. My parents always harped on doing the right thing, and making good choices, because some decisions made at an early age can follow you into adulthood. Unfortunately, sometimes making a wrong decision only helps you to learn from the mistake. When I was 15 years old, my friend *Alyssa Brown (Pseudonym) was raped. She was my best friend and someone I care deeply about. We played volleyball together on the same team, had breakfast at the diner every Sunday, and watched movies in my basement every weekend. Like any relationship, we had our differences. At that age, many of my friends were maturing at dissimilar rates, and it was confusing to me some of the changes that were happening to their attitudes and opinions. Alyssa had an older sister *Lindsey, who was 19 at the time, and who wasn’t particularly the best behaved; she had been arrested a few times and needless to say didn’t surround herself with the best company. Alyssa couldn’t help who her sister brought around the house, and neither could I—although now I wish I could have.…
I had picked up a closing shift this Friday thinking I would be done with finals and able to work. It turns out I had to schudule one of my finals during that time slot because one of my other finals confilcted with the time I originally intended to take that exam. Is there a way I can be excused from this shift? I can provid the proper documentation if needed,…

My decision to return to college is two-fold. First, and foremost, I want to be a positive role model for my eleven year old daughter and her thoughts towards education. Secondly, I want to fulfill my own dream of earning my bachelor’s degree in Business Administration. As the saying goes, actions speak louder than words. As a way of proving this, and to show my eleven year old daughter that you are never too old to pursue your dreams, I have decided now is the time to fulfill mine and earn my bachelor’s degree. I believe that education is one of the most important things you can give yourself, and I want to be a positive example for her to see that.…
In the earlier years of my life, I was pulled out of classes for occupational therapy. I felt like that was controlling my life. I just wanted to live a normal life, be an ordinary person. All I wanted was one day, just one to be free and live a life everyone around me did. Sometimes I wanted to just run away. Run away from all of the physical weaknesses and emotions I…
I am the most amazing person on earth. Do you know why I am so great? I am almost godly because of my great skill of tetherball. I hit the ball so hard that the post will fall over. Sometimes my arms power is so great that the string snaps. After snapping the ball would travel 300 feet before landing so the crowd members have a special spot called a splash zone. It was made just for me!…
