Blog 13: Lesson 2 Reflection

1.What are you most proud of in your Lesson 2 Presentation and why?

  • I am proud that I said a lot of my information about my answer and that my activity was fun for the class because I think the information helped them understand why my answer is my 1st answer.
2. a.     What assessment would you give yourself on your Lesson 2 Presentation (self-assessment)?
       AE       P          AP       CR       NC
  •      P/AE
     b.     Explain why you deserve that grade using evidence from the Lesson 2 component contract.
  • Even though I seemed like I was too nervous and that I said "Umm" a lot I think deserve a P/AE because I met all the requirements, I said a lot of information about my answer and why it's important, and that my activity was very related to my answer 1.  
3. What worked for you in your Lesson 2?
  • My activity was fun for the class and that I said what I needed to say about my answer and topic.
4. What didn't work? If you had a time machine, what would you have done differently to improve your Lesson 2?
  • What didn't work is that I think I kept repeating myself a little bit and that I kept saying "Umm" a lot.
5. What do you think your answer #2 is going to be?
  • I think my 2nd answer is going to one of the best ways for nurses to best protect themselves form infectious diseases is properly putting on PPE (Personal Protective Equipment).

Blog 12: Mentorship 10 hours check

1.   Where are you doing your mentorship?
  • At Casa Colina Centers for Rehabilitation in La Verne  
 2.   Who is your contact?
  •  Ishna S. Mesa 
3.   How many total hours have you done (total hours should be reflected in your mentorship log located on the right hand side of your blog like your WB)?
  • 45 hours
4.   Summarize the 10 hours of service you did.
  • I go to Casa Colina every Saturday and I would go to either the east or west nurses station and ask if they need any help with anything. Usually I would got make copies and make admission packets for incoming patients and go trough each paper and label them with the patients adressograph (sticker w patient info).  I also would walk around to the east and west wings of the hospital.  Go into rooms and ask if the patients are okay or need of help, sometimes I would make sure that the glove compartment in each room is full with each hand size (small, medium, and large). I would call the patient's nurse and help them if they need extra help.

Blog 11: Holiday Project Update

1.  It is important to consistently work on your senior project, whether it is break or we are in school.  What did you do over the break with your senior project?

  • I think working on senior project consistently during break or went we are in school is important because the knowledge you gain from your senior project will help you explain the key points about your project. during break I've went to Casa Colina at least 2-3 times a week to gain more knowledge to answer my EQ and went to visit my mentor to see how she can help me find possible answers to my EQ. 

2.  What was the most important thing you learned from what you did, and why?  What was the source of what you learned?
  • The most important thing I've learned is that nurses have to always make sure they properly put on their PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) on and always use hand hygiene as a daily routine when entering and leaving a room. 
3.  If you were going to do a 10 question interview on questions related to answers for your EQ, who would you talk to and why?

  • If I had to do a 10 question interview that relates to the answers of my EQ, I would talk to my mentor Gloria because she has been working in the hospital for many years now and dealt with other nurses who also have encountered with patients with infectious diseases.
