...For my outreach project I used my job at Kindred Healthcare Nursing Home as an STNA. In my position I spend my whole twelve hour shift taking care of the residents. The normal age range for my residents range from late seventies to late nineties, but you always have special cases. I cannot state any names in my paper because of HIPAA and out of respect to protect the residents information. I had started this job in May and had to quit in September due to distance, but with be going back in the summer. A typical day for me is We start with getting the residents that need assisted up and ready for for breakfast that usually comes around 8:00 then shortly after dinner we lay some of them down and get them back up for lunch at 12:00 and then...

...door to leave her home, in the quiet neighborhood. As Laney walked into a clean updated looking office, with her scarf around her neck, she didn't want to be too late for the job interview. After all, these years, a real job interview first time in a long time. She handed the security guard an appointment card and went into the elevator, she exhaled noisily. "I'm never doing this again, I can’t believe I’m doing it now." she said, closing her blue colored eyes for a moment. Now on the second floor, she opened the glass door to Suite 2 and glanced at the welcome sign of the Medical Facility. The receptionist looked up from her desk with a smile and asked Laney to hand over her resume. Once she took Laney’s resume the receptionist let her know that it would be a few moments until Rachel, the head of HR, finished with a client and invited her to sit in the lobby to wait. With her sitting straight in a modern mustard chair by the door, Laney folded her hands on top of her legs to wait and couldn’t help but ponder her past. It was May of last year, three months after she had turned 45 and over 20 years since she had held any kind of a job. Laney never intended to become a stay-at-home mother for this long. "I loved the whole thing," Laney recalled. "I loved commuting to work and home, working down in the cities, using my mind, having my own money. Then I met the love of my life.” Laney had 2 daughters and a son and her husband had a good paying job that made it possible...

...of wisdom that my father told me. These words always rang a bell in my ears like it was yesterday. He said the only way that I can be better is to learn from the person that already knows and have the tools that I need to succeed in life. I will say that I am much thankful for the things that I have accomplished along the way. One of the important things that I think really helped me after I finished high school was the fact that I looked for a mentor. This mentor was not someone within the job that I was currently doing but someone who was outside the organization of my job and could help me see things from a new perspective. My mentor was my pastor. Pastor Toby Awasom. Pastor Toby was not only a pastor but an engineer and a business man too by profession. I also met with my advisor at Cincinnati state regularly and she gave me inside advice on how to go about achieving my college goals. I also discussed new roles and brainstorm ways to not only be successful but also how to continue building my skills for the future....

...EL 104-23686 Prof. James Murray 12/02/13 EL 104 writing assignment. TWO JOBS I HAVE HELD: BABYSITTING AND HOME HEALTH CARE. Caring for the sick or the young and healthy can always be so challenging. To care for someone is the ability to take out time from your life on a daily basis to help improve the person’s life. Taking care of people always involves caring for the whole person, being able to enter the person’s feelings, being compassionate, and being respectful as well, no matter how old the person is. Babysitting and home health care both involves giving care to people in different ways and in different places as well. These are two jobs I have done and currently, I am still working as a home health aide. These two jobs share many similarities for instance; care is given in the individual’s home, and both need the attention of the person giving care. However, these two jobs have very significant differences with the individuals being taken care of and the job description of each job. One difference between babysitting and home health involves the individuals being catered for. While there is no particular name use to address kids on the babysitting job, but the use of their names, people taken care of at a home health care job are referred to as clients. Usually, babysitting involves caring for children who are mostly between zero and 13 years of age, while, home health care mostly involves people within any age limit but most often, they...

...Spasojevich I have been faced with the decision of whether to purchase a new home or not. Making this decision has taken a lot of thought and planning. I had to look at the principals of economics, the marginal benefits and cost associated with my decision, and the economy. These are all factors that play a vital role in making a decision that I will be committed to for thirty years. One of the most difficult decisions that I had to consider was facing trade-offs. I had to ask myself what I am willing to give up to purchase this new home. I wanted to purchase a new home in a ritzy part of San Antonio but quickly realized that I could not afford to purchase a home in that area. So, I began looking in a nice middle class subdivision that was more affordable for me. I also had the desire to purchase a home with an in ground swimming pool. Unfortunately, this was not an option due to the community pool. I had to determine what was more important to me and I chose to change the geographical location that I wanted to live in and the swimming pool was not that important to me. I was not able to have a pool put in and live in the ritzy part of town, but I am able to have upgrades to my home and it is affordable. When my husband and I first looked at purchasing our home we had to look at our budget and see what we could afford and what we were willing to give up in order to purchase this new home. We had to cut back on going out to dinner three times a week to once a week...

...make a decision whether or not to accept a job offer or continue working at my current job. Without even realizing, I took the first step in the decision making process described in our text. Identifying and diagnosing the problem. When a friend of mine emailed me and informed me that a position in the Human Resources department where she worked had just opened up, I thought to myself that this would be a good opportunity to try something new. I was currently working as a medical claims processor which was very a monotonous position. As a Human Resources Assistant, I would be dealing with different scenarios on a daily basis. Another advantage to applying for this position was that it was thirty minutes closer to my home and paid fifty cents more per hour. My problem of a mundane job that was far from home could be eliminated if I received a job offer from the company my friend worked for. Once I completed and submitted the job application for the Human Resources Assistant position at the new company, I began to utilize the second step of the decision making process. If I were accepted for this position what would I need to do differently in my day to day work week? My children attended a school that was in the direct path to my current job but out of the way to the job I was applying for. My first thought was that I would need to wake up forty-five minutes earlier to drop my children off and head to the potential new job. I then decided that if I did get the new position...

I have gone from a baby to now, my adult years. It has always been one thing after another that has shaped me into who I am today. It is all the paths that I have taken and the challenges that have come my way that have been part of the transitions and why I have chosen to be who I am and do the thing I do. I was born October 10, 1979, in, Puyallup, Washington to my mother Terry and my father Ric. I was born six weeks early and weighed in at almost eight pounds. When I was born, I was not breathing and the doctors were not sure if I was going to make it or not. I was full of fluids and had polycythemia. Polycythemia is when a person has too many red blood cells. Luckily enough I made it through and I am doing fine now.

...My Worst Job Thinking over all the jobs I have ever had, I realized that there are many ways a job can be unpleasant. Many circumstances can cause a work experience to be bad, including long hours, unpleasant co-workers, and bad working conditions. The worst job I ever had was when I worked as a Certified Nursing Assistant, or CNA for short. This job was very difficult for my family and me. I had just had my first child three months prior to beginning to work at a Nursing home that was about thirty minutes from my house. As one of the newer hires, I was automatically put on third shift, which was eleven p.m. to seven a.m. Between the drive and working the night shift, I was always exhausted. As a new mom, I found it extremely difficult being away from my child during the night. My husband had to take over the responsibility of caring for our infant son during the nights I worked. He worked second shift at a nearby youth detention center, so when he was leaving for work in the afternoon, I was just waking up. It was difficult to adjust to being awake all night and then sleeping during the day. The hours were a significant stressor on me, as well as my marriage. My son went to my mom’s house when I had to go to work. Then my husband picked him up when he got off work. Our conflicting work schedules made working at the nursing home a very unpleasant experience because of the hardships on my family. Working as a CNA is a specific calling that most people aren’t...

...Running Head: BENNER ANALYSIS PAPER Benner Analysis Paper This paper will discuss the functions of caring within the nursing practice, as well as my own personal views regarding caring. I will review the Benner model of Clinical Nursing and the Dreyfus Model of Skill Acquisition in relationship to my own personal skills. I will identify my competencies within each domain of the Benner Model. I will reflect upon my own personal nursing practice in terms of my strengths and weaknesses. Also included will be a discussion of my own professional goals, areas of improvement needed within my practice and solutions for how I can improve in order to help me achieve these personal goals. Caring To me caring and nursing go hand in hand. Caring is an essential part of nursing. As nurses we come in contact with patients having surgical interventions or medical issues or are sometimes are going through a major health event in their life. Patients that have a health event need us nurses to listen and provide comfort whether it be giving pain medications, providing a quiet environment or just listening and letting the patient talk about their illness, anxieties or fears that they are feeling. So many times throughout my career I have seen nurses simply take care of their patients needs but when I was doing staff nursing I was really into it. Some nurses simply go through the motions that a nurse would do and they are detached and have a non caring attitude...

...My Big Decision Every day, from the minute we wake up, till the time we go to bed, we are faced with choices. The choices we face on a day-to-day basis range from getting out of bed and starting our day, to investing our hard earned money into buying a new car or house. We make so many choices in just one day and most of the time we don’t even ponder the decisions we end up making. Recently, in the past year, after being involved in an automobile accident I was faced with, what seemed to be a very big decision. This very big decision was whether or not to move back to Cleveland after living on my own for five years. I pondered this choice for a very long time and in the process many thoughts crossed my mind. I had a considerable amount of concerns while pondering this thought such as where I would live, where would I work, and if I was ready to start my life all over again in a new but familiar place. Since my automobile accident, moving back to Cleveland was the biggest decision I was faced with making yet. I contemplated it for about six months before making a definitive choice. My biggest concern in moving back home was where was I going to live? Five years ago, when I moved out of my parent’s house, for college, I told myself that I would never move back. I told myself that I would never move back not because I didn’t love or care for my parents but because I felt that going to college was a step toward becoming an adult and moving back home would be anything...

...impact in shaping the working woman of today, especially in comparison to those of fifty years ago. For this research paper I chose to interview two women that I felt were ideal candidates. They were my grandmother, Marion, and my best friend from high school, Leah. My grandmother, Marion Young, was born in the 1920’s and grew up as a child during the great depression. Marion told me that growing up during this time was hard, and it had a important impact on the way she lived her life. In the late 1940’s she got married to my grandfather, Vance. At that time they were both working full-time jobs. Marion had a high school diploma, which during that time period made it extremely easy for her to find a job. To Marion a job was nothing more than work, and she never saw it as anything more. She never cared about what kind of job she had, just as long as she had one. The types of jobs she held ranged from a switchboard operator, to a legal secretary, and even a teaching assistant at the local public school. In the 1950’s my grandparents decided it was time to start having children. This decision was based on the fact that the economy was good, and Vance’s job was secure enough to support the both of them. This was when my grandmother took a break from work to be at home and raise the kids. It was until the youngest of her three boys started high school that she went back to working...

...A New House Decision Alycia Toth XECO/212 Professor Tsilis Purchasing a home is not only one of the most important decisions but it is also one of the biggest decisions a person can make in their life. There are so many factors that come into play when making that final decision. Before you can make a final decision on which home to purchase you have to make the decision to buy a home. My husband and I have accepted the challenge of making the final decision on whether to purchase a home or continue renting. First we sat down and made a list of all the things we needed to consider before jumping into purchasing a home. The next step we took was to make a list of pros and cons for our current renting situation and for making the choice to purchase a home. From there meeting with a relator and then a mortgage consultant would be our next step. We would like to share our process with you and why we made the decision we did. One of the first things to consider, other than your budget, is to look at Mankiw’s Economic Principles. Within the ten principles you will find how relating those to your purchase can help you in your decision. We chose to focus on the first and second principle because I felt those were the best principles that settled in on what we needed to put into perspective when making the decision. The first principle discusses trade- offs. For example, my family and I currently live in an apartment so if something breaks all we have to do is make a call to the...

...Assignment #4: Forging my Future through Higher Education By: Jose A. Algarin ENG 090- Writing Fundamentals Professor Dr. Zackory Kirk February 5, 2015 Imagine this: a young man from Hartford, Connecticut sits at the kitchen table and tries to work on his English homework. His brothers are consistently running around, and his mother is trying to cook dinner. His Dad is a construction worker, who is constantly working 12-15 hours a day, and he wonders if he will even make it through 4 years of high school with all these distractions. That young man was me. Thankfully, I did make it through high school, but after serving my country for 6 years I had not thought of attaining a higher education. I have chosen to change my life by attending Stayer University because it will allow me to earn a degree in my field of study, and make my parents proud of my accomplishment. Also this will help stabilize me, financially, emotionally, and mentally. Attending Strayer University is definitely a dream come true. Never had I thought about higher education after six years of service in the United States Army to this great country. Honestly the first thing I thought about after I left the Army was going straight to work since I knew I already had the experience in the HR Field. Well, I was wrong. It was extremely difficult to find a job that suited me, but since I did not have a degree in that field of study it made it harder for myself. Eventually I just decided to...
