When patients does not make it in then there's an open spot. The problem with no shows is that it's a new patient who are the ones are doing this. The situation can't be fix by closing out the appointment for patients to make. We just need work around everything. I would go with the situation and find ways to just work around with scheduling even if the problem is with the…
On this date APS supervisor, Matthew Mitchell and Jamie Gaines, APS social worker, visited Shadescrest NH, for the purpose of monitoring Ms. Salter's placement and attending a care plan meeting.

According to the official National Honor Society website, NHS serves to “not only recognize students for their accomplishments, but challenge them to develop further through active involvement in school activities and community service.” The paragraph goes on to describe how the students in NHS ideally strive to achieve “excellence in the areas of scholarship, service, leadership, and character.” As an individual hoping to become a member of the society, I interpret this to mean that when one enters NHS, they are not granted the freedom to then be lazy with their grades or lax with their leadership simply because they were deemed suitable for the society at one point. Rather, as a member of the National Honor Society, one becomes a leader on campus and a model of character, while continuing to offer constructivity and inspiration to their community and peers.…
From midterm to current my CI allowed me to handle more of her caseload, observe online documentation, and weekly progress reports on her patients. She encouraged questions, and thoroughly explained why certain treatments and activities were better than others. She allowed for open communication of patient interventions, which made me feel comfortable enough to take on more of her case load and contributed to my visual, and hands on style of learning. From my initial visit to current my CI has ensured my environment promotes growth at my clinical site.…
The care planning meeting is central to social work practice with children and families; it is what children and families' social workers do more than any other single activity (except for recording), and it is through the CPM’s that recommendations are made on a daily basis about the risk, protection and welfare of children of looked after children. As a result if is vitally important that social workers reflect and engage in reflection and identify themes is part of improving and growing as a practitioner. Katy’s support worker and representative from her residential home commented that on how Katy had been settling in since her move from her foster carer’s. The support worker said that there had obviously been a ‘honeymoon period’ but this had not lasted long. The first behavioural incident happened the first Monday following the Friday that Katy was placed in the home, when Katy refused to get into a cab to go to school; one of Katy’s residential workers had to take Katy to school because she would not have gone to school if she had to…
During my sophomore year I applied for the Van Meter National Honors Society. In order to be accepted into NHS you must possess the qualities of character, leadership, service, and the scholarship requirement a 3.5 GPA. I felt I met all of the requirements and thoroughly wrote the letter application. I turned it into the teacher committee and they returned a letter saying that I didn’t meet their standards. This was very humbling for me.…
The third week has allowed me to see my progression from when I started to now, it has allowed me to learn from previous experience in my work by reflecting every week knowing the amount of depth to include and showing an understanding in my blogs. This can help within a health and social care setting as you cannot dwell on mistakes, you have to simply pick yourself up and learn from the mistake to ensure you make the right decision the next time to fulfil all of the service user’s needs. We started to look at reflection to make us feel more comfortable in what we were doing. We then went onto learning about theories which helped develop further information because it explained through different opinions. Kolb (1984) states that learning involves…
I feel honored with the chance to be considered as a student for National Honor Society and hold the value of the four pillars high in my individual standards and behavior. I am excited to see what the this organization and its developed goals change in this upcoming year. A correct understanding of the overall mission of the National Honor Society is noticeably aligned with the goals I set personally. NHS is meaningful to me because it is a great organization for me to be able to improve my work ethic in regards to every part of my life, horseback riding, babysitting, family relationships, and yearbook. I also enjoy service work of all kinds and I am looking forward to the chance to continue giving back to the community through NHS.…
Freshman year I started volunteering at Suncoast hospice; mainly because of the fact that I needed to build up my pre-med resume with healthcare experience but also because it was the only local health care related volunteer activity and transportation was an issue. Little did I know that taking on a challenge that would have such an impacting effect on my character and how I interpret the world. Through various activities ranging from baking cookies, making hand sewn comfort bears, to delivering groceries, and folding over 500 “thinking about you cards”; I have come to the realization that the ripple effect does not have any limitations, no matter how big or small one’s actions. Completing over 100 hours with hospice is an accomplishment…
Reflective practice is to reflect on what happened, how to improve and how to implement on this. 1.2 Reflective practice is important as it identifies areas that can be improved ensuring the highest level of care is provided, this also allows for others to change their ways of working through other peoples identification of required improvements. 1.3 Standards are set out which all are required to achieve, by carrying out reflective practice areas for development can be identified to ensure the standards set out are met and what is needed to achieve these. 1.4 Own values, beliefs and experiences may affect working practice by striving to provide the best quality care possible, previous experiences will have provided tools and knowledge…
This week’s bible passage made me reflect on my clinical rotation at the clinic while shadowing a nurse who was doing an anatomical procedure to an offender who accidentally fell and injured his head. Anatomical is the procedure that any nurse will do before they will assign any offender to segregated or isolated locked rooms or to any offender who needs to be assessed after an event that resulted in an injury. There was a bruising and a “bump” on the back side of the offenders head due to his bad fall. The swollen “bump” measured 3.4 cm. in width by 4cm in length.…
Reflection is an opportunity to learn from our mistakes, improve our practice and knowledge, and to also recognise the positives from an experience. If we don’t use reflection, we will never understand reasons why we do certain things or never be able to improve on previous experiences for the future. Reflection is essential in a care setting as situations are always arising, and we need to make sure we work to the best of our ability. This essay will be discussing the importance of reflection within personal and professional development and also the role of reflection in the provision of quality care within a care setting. This particular essay will involve the values and principles of the NMC (Nursing and Midwifery Council) and also a thoroughly…
Teamwork and collaboration, good communication, and confidence are the three strengths I believe I demonstrated during this rotation. My clinical rotation as a student nurse did not only imply observing the providers, but also meant active participation on my part. Being engaged, enabled me to put into practice what I have learned in theory. The first day of my rotation, the nurse permitted me to augment the Pitocin dose by two units after 20 minutes. I thought that was exciting because I learned about the medication in the class and participated in administering it.…
In the interview as with Client A we explored the issues of work-life balance, stress and poor diet, from a Nutritional Medicine modality. The interview flowed perfectly throughout the time frame and in my opinion I was able to develop a rapport and trust with Client A. Overall my skills throughout the interview displayed professionalism, and a friendly non- judgemental approach. The interview commenced with an initiation which included greeting the client, gaining informed consent and an overview of how the session would run. In the future I must remember to enquire about the clients past history of visiting a nutritionist and ensure my limitations are clear.…
