Assistant

I worked as a lighting assistant / stagehand. Personally, I think most of our live lab went pretty well and smooth, we got everything done and set up even earlier than usual, we were an hour ahead of everything, not only because we were very confortable with our positions and helping each other out but also because it was a single girl act instead of a complete band performing on stage, which does not really give me a complete perspective of how a live lab could actually get in terms of…

My full name is Brandon Daniel Arioso. I was born in Cheyenne, Wyoming on March Fifth, 1997 making me seven-teen years old. I was raised in Cheyenne by my mom, Linda and my dad, Benjamin. Currently I am still living in Cheyenne but I am longing to explore the states, specifically Alaska or Northern Colorado. Even though I am a local to Cheyenne I still do not have a vast pool of people I would even call my acquaintances. However, my best friend is, Chris Smith. Chris and I talk on Skype…

If I remember correctly some of the goals I had for being a T.A. were to gain a better understanding of the communication process and to also learn more about what goes into teaching a communication studies class. Based on my time as a teaching assistant I would say I definitely have gained a much more firm grasp on understanding the communication process. However, I think one of my greatest benefits was seeing how much work goes into a professor teaching multiple classes. Professor Ingram had…

academic ability; but waver when I think about the actual application of the information I have learned. With this assistantship, I will be able to practice what I have been taught. I welcome that whole heartedly. I also feel that being a graduate assistant will help to foster my confidence and prepare me for the next step: whether that is continuing to doctorate level, or tackling the career field. Whichever path I take, this opportunity will be a catalyst. One of the reasons I feel…

colleges in this generation often put homework and assignments online. Over the last two decades, colleges and universities adapted and responded to the Internet, email, chat and instant messaging, course management software, podcasts, personal digital assistants (PDAs), and much more. (4) With this generation colleges and universities realized that most students are tech-savvy and would do much more schoolwork if they could do it on their own time with their own devices. The growing use of…

Servant Leadership People always say that it takes a special type of person to be a nurse. The critical trait that makes this special type of person is the ability to serve others. While leadership is learned and developed through skills, a combination of those proficiencies together make a great servant leader. Marquis and Huston (2015) explain servant leadership as the ability to serve others, first and for-most. The multiple proficiencies combine to create the servant leader, are those…

Most every successful nursing student has a story of particular event that provided certainty about their professional career path. And while applying for nursing last semester, I was worried that I could not evoke such a memory. I could describe a collection of events that lead me towards a nursing education. Like my father, a paramedic, becoming a heroic role model throughout my childhood; or caring for a great-aunt with Alzheimer’s disease. Then, I finally found that missing piece of the…

I never expected to be here. If you asked me four years prior to where I am now, if I wanted to go to college and study nursing, the answer would’ve been no. From me being loud, obnoxious, disrespectful and disobedient to failing every class and having over 40 absences, I did not even think about college. On the brink of failing the ninth grade and having a disciplinary record longer than my school transcripts, I had my first anxiety attack. As I was gasping for air while thousands of…

Being a certified nursing assistant (CNA) for elderly comes with many challenges, and I didn’t discover this until after did my clinical at a nursing home. There, I observed many opportunities for learning and growth in long-term care. With the permission of my instructor, I explored around and had a little time to communicate with the senior citizens. I continued to make observations and found that communicating with the elderly presents difficulties that impact the CNA’s ability to implement…
