HOSA is a professional program with many events that you can pick from. Each event is a competition. You pick an event that you would do well in and then you follow the HOSA’s strict guidelines and create what you have to do for that specific event. Then you go and compete against other schools that did the same event.
Competition #1
An event that I was looking at is Public Service Announcement. For this event you have to educate the public on a health problem. You have to make a video of us talking about our certain event and how we educated the topic. You have to do a lot of research so you know everything about your topic when you present and make a video.
Competition #2
The next event I looked at was creative problem solving. Personally, I am not the best at critical thinking skills or problem solving skills, but if I actually attempted it I m sure I could. This even allows you to have 1-3 people. This event also has many different rounds. Round one requires you to take a test, and then if you pass the test or test high you move onto the second round. The second round is where you are given a problem to solve in thirty minutes. When you are all done solving your problem you have ten minutes to present your solution. Considering I am not a good test taker I think I’m going pass up this event.
Competition #3
The last event I considered is Nurse assistant. The purpose of this event is to provide students with a chance to develop the knowledge and skills of a nursing assistant. The first step to this competition is a multiple choice test. To get to the second round you are required to pass the test. You will also be required to do hands on skills, and you are judged on your skills. This competition would help me to become familiar with the usual hands on skills all nurses are required to know.
