...With this experience, I learned how to show residents compassion, care, and kindness. Alongside that I had a chance to perfect my skills and tasks as an STNA. I made beds, dressed residents, performed range of motion, and assisted with oral care and toileting needs. However, I learned to look past these residents as a task to check off my to-do list, and instead view them as a human being, an individual with needs and wants just like myself. Then, upon completion of my STNA license I quickly found a job where I knew I could be of great...

...In this video they discussed a certain living facility called Emerald Hills (Emeritus) specifically the care memory unit. What they bring to light in this facility is the care that Emeritus provides for it residents. What there was a lack of care wise and the negligence that occurred. Another point brought to light was the way Emeritus admits patients that should not be in an assisted living facility. A major problem brought up was the lack of staff to care for the number of residents this facility had. Not only were they understaffed, but they were inexperienced in the positions they were employed for. All of these issues are addressed throughout the video. The major thing that makes me sick in this video is resident is brought to a facility...

...Biological and Adopted Parents We all have parents. Some of us are blessed to have parents who are either biological, the DNA in a persons’ body is the same, and unlike adopted parents a person does not carry the same gene, but it is how they raise the child/children and they love and treat you like the child/children is their own. I was blessed with both kind of parents, and they have a variation in many ways because of the life styles, the support, and the home environment. It is hard growing up thinking that the adopted parents are your birth parents, and then later find out in life that they are not. That was confusing for me who was only ten years old to understand, but Matt and Martha, my adopted parents who I will be calling dad and mom, answered any questions I had about anything, and they were completely honest with me. Unlike Sonny and Mary, my biological parents, and will be called them by name because they are not the ones who raised me and taught me everything I know in life. I was two years old when I got adopted, but then I was in seven fosters homes from the age of six weeks to two, and that is because the government kept giving us, my brother, Richard, and I back to them thinking that they had changed their ways but they never did and that is why there was so many foster homes. Until one day they decided to adopt us because they could not have kids of their own, and that changed my life after I got adopted, and also for the better, and would not want...
