...(Anderson, n.d.). The author of this essay identifies as a kinesthetic learner. Being a kinesthetic learner, the preferred learning strategies have included many that are typical for this learning style. Hands on approaches for nursing skills have been highly successful, as well as return demonstration. The author has also found that teaching other skills has greatly improved her understanding and method. In order to learn ideas that are not skill related, illustrating the idea and explaining it to others has proved very effective. Also, the author will often write about events in clinicals, what actions she took, and then research to see if these were the best actions, or how she could improve upon her practice.

...What Is a Psychiatrist? A psychiatrist is a medical doctor that specializes in the treatment of mental disorders. Psychiatrists are sometimes confused with psychologists, and while there are many similarities between the two professions, there are also many important differences. Because psychiatrists hold a medical degree and are trained in the practice of psychiatry, they are one of the few professionals in the mental health field able to prescribe medications to treat psychological disorders. Much like a general practice physician, a psychiatrist may also perform physical exams and order diagnostic tests in addition to practicing psychotherapy. Psychiatrists may also work as part of a mental health team, often consulting with primary care physicians, social workers, and psychologists. Job Description of a Psychiatrist The Occupational Outlook Handbook offers the following description: "Psychiatrists are the primary mental health-care givers. They assess and treat mental illnesses through a combination of psychotherapy, psychoanalysis, hospitalization, and medication. Psychotherapy involves regular discussions with patients about their problems; the psychiatrist helps them find solutions through changes in their behavioral patterns, the exploration of their past experiences, or group and family therapy sessions. Psychoanalysis involves long-term psychotherapy and counseling for patients. In many cases, medications are administered to correct chemical imbalances that cause emotional...

...calumny. Especially, as I stated, being the first college graduate in my family, born in Mexico, and coming for a low economic status, I've worked hard to achieve my success and it hurts to have others devalue the hardship that I've had to endure. For starters, I have never taken the LPC or substance abuse licensing exam. Actually, there is no such thing as an LPC exam. I believe he meant the NCE that is accepted by professional counselor's license credentialing board, but not an approved exam by the marriage and family's license credentialing board. I am an MFT, so my field/license has nothing to do with "LPC" or SA exams. My field is required to take the AMFTRB exam. As a personal choice, however, I did apply for the substance abuse license in the past. Online records state - "failure to take and/or pass the required exam" (see link below)...

...Week 1 Strategy assignment The VARK reports actually showed me that I do not have just one learning style, but two and they are, Kinesthetic and Aural. This shows that I learn best when I am able to use my listening skills to my advantage and when I am able to be hands on with something. For these strategies there are a few study tips that accompany them when having to deal with preparing for an important event like an exam or major assignment. What I noticed with both it is heavy on interactions and preparation for different scenarios and all possible outcomes. There are three main study strategies that accompany both styles. They include, Intake (allows you take in the information being provided), SWOT (which allows you to organize that information and create a “learning package” that best fits your learning style) and output (which provides you with the most suitable techniques to use for preparing for an exam) For the Aural, the intake revolves a lot around maximizing the information that you can store in your head. To accomplish this, it is suggested that you attend classes, lectures and tutorials. Also discussing the information with both your professors and peers is fairly important, because the retaining of information my lie in remembering the conversations that you have with these individuals and helps you remember key points that you can later fill in other information under those topics. Also the last part of this intake has to deal with recording the information...
