Pre-Clinical Observation
First, I would like to say thank you for reading this letter. I am a college student enrolled in a teacher education program. This program requires all teacher candidates to complete a series of preclinical classroom experiences prior to student teaching. I am required to do 60 hours of Pre-Clinical Observation at a school in a general education 1st through 5th grade classroom in September. I am writing this letter to ask if I could complete my observation hours at Puyallup Cascade Christian School. This would be a great honor and opportunity for both my personal and academic endeavors.
Personally, my desire to observe classes at Puyallup Cascade Christian are a direct reflection of God’s will in my life. I am a born-again Christian and

    The purpose of the policy is to provide an interactive dialogue that allows for up-to-date information on the patient’s care. The policy is referenced to the Joint Commission-mandated focus on improving patient safety through effective caregiver communication. According to the Joint Commission, as estimated 80% of serious medical errors are attributable to miscommunication between caregivers when transferring responsibly for patients (Wakefield, Ragan, Brandt & Tregnago, 2012). Shift report happens two, three, or more times in a day, but nurses receive little formal training in this vital responsibility. Nurses may be found legally liable for failing to report necessary information during handoffs (Riesenberg, Leitzsch, & Cunningham, 2010). Therefore, it is imperative for a handoff procedure incorporate an effective way to communicate in order to provide safe patient care.…

    Nursing is a noble profession. Challenges are the daily norm and being self-driven by the desire to care is a must. And just as challenging is the task of remaining motivated while in nursing school. From all-night study sessions, trips to library for references on new case studies, never ending group and individual assignments to clinical attachments to social obligations, staying focused on graduating can become a cumbersome task for any student nurses, just like in the case of student nurse Jane who is on her (PRCP Pre-Registration Clinical Placement) which is her last clinical posting before she steps into the world of nursing.…

The reason I'm Interested in the medical field is because the human body and all its functions fascinate me to the fullest.

Having the opportunity of being able to be a part of this wonderful summer program would be an honor if given the chance. I want to become a Trauma Surgeon one day and I believe this program would be a very beneficial way to learn more deeply how fast pace the medical field really is rather than hearing it learning it from a book.

    For the needs of the patients, families, and the health care consumers, and health care practice current assessment practices should be maintained by using evidence –based practices. Health care professionals are expected to demonstrate competent practice within the society. Determining sufficient of clinical assessments and the evaluation of the nursing students has redesigned a large amount of nursing school curriculum to remain relevant. Assessing students educational outcomes based on current clinical practices can be more challenging than just relaying on typical classroom theory in which the evaluation of cognitive knowledge can be tested. Within the clinical setting, students are required to reach a particular level of competency in areas of knowledge, psychomotor, and safety. The clinical performance measurements and determining the how to grade the clinical course has caused debate and concern among nursing educators for years (McCarthy & Murphy, 2010). The purpose of this paper is to examine current assessment practices through current research : reflective journaling (self-evaluation), competency-based performance assessment, and faculty/agency personnel observation/communication that are designed accurately to document competency within the framework of accelerating and fluctuating needs in education and practice.…

    A friend’s uncle, who lives in the area, has a set of fraternal male twins named Justin and Christian that just a week ago, turned four years old. And after getting a good connection through my friend, I was invited over to do a few of Piaget’s experiments on each of the boys. Being twins, both boys obviously fit into the preschool age-range and I determined that I should test their preoperational thought as it relates to their conservation, centration, and the irreversibility they may feature in their thinking. Piaget argues that adolescents still in the stage of preoperational thinking focus on one aspect of a situation, neglecting its other important features, which is called “centration” (Berk, 2012). They also have an inability to mentally go through a series of steps in a problem, and then reverse direction, returning to the starting point. This is called “irreversibility” (Berk, 2012, p. 322). These factors relate to a children’s lack of ability in “conservation” where an object’s physical characteristics remain the same, even when their outward appearance undergoes change (Berk, 2012). I chose to test these factors and limitations in these preschoolers to see if Piaget’s theory holds true in both subjects.…

    For my clinical experience today I shadowed an RN, at the Ashe County Health Department. The RN was participating in the flu clinic today. She administered many flu vaccinations. Most of the individuals that came in today for the clinic were over the age of 65 and were given the high dose flu vaccination. The RN also worked with a Spanish interpreter during several visits throughout the day. She would first assess a Spanish speaking individual’s ability to speak English, then if deemed necessary she would call for the interpreter. The nurse made sure to always direct her questions, and maintain eye contact with the patient. She wanted them to feel included, and really engage them through therapeutic communication, even though she did not speak…
