Today clinical assignment was in the Alzheimer’s/Dementia care unit, where I had the opportunity alongside of Colleen. Our morning had gotten off to ruff start due to difficulties with accessing their computer data base; we were not able to assess the client’s medical chart to begin the morning medication pass. With Colleen extensive knowledge of the clients and their medication needs in the unit and along with their paper medical chart, we were

    In the morning, I followed the Charge Nurse Kristy. She was great at explaining to me everything she was doing and allowing me to watch and even help with everything she had to do to get the morning started. Rounds start on the unit at 1000, and Kristy had three different lists for each of the teams of doctors. She had to go through and highlight the patients that were on the unit, their code status and prism score, whom their nurse was, and the nurse’s phone number. She likes to have this finished by 0900 because at that time she has to attend the staffing meeting…

    The community I grew up in deep in the heart of Austin, Texas celebrated my heritage, honored differences in culture, and fostered personal growth and self-discovery. My parents, with the strong work ethic they developed on their family’s farms in Ghana, encouraged my brother and me to work hard and find ways to use my skills to be of service to others. My experiences engaging with the communities that I have lived inspire me to become a physician dedicated to finding the most effective ways to communicate with my patients and improve their health outcomes in different types of environments. I first worked in health care locally during the summer after my sophomore year of college when I volunteered at the People’s Community Clinic. It was there that I got my first look at direct health interventions through making health education materials in the…
