As a upcoming nursing student, I like to see the students wearing their green scrubs. I have noticed at times, that the proud models of those green scrubs are female students. Even when I go to the hospital, rarely do I observe any males wearing nursing scrubs. Nursing has been a professional occupation often associated with femininity. Demographically, statistics show that indeed, females comprise this profession overwhelmingly. Because of these, many claim that males are discriminated upon in…

A top-quality hydration pack make carrying up to 3 liters of water on your surprisingly easy, and you can take sips from the shoulder-high tubing system as often as like without breaking your…

I went back to each of the four reflective journal entries submitted to date in order to see the journey through this class on adult learning. The class started out very different than my expectations and ended up being one of my favorite classes to date in my Master’s Degree program.

activity levels, easy, difficult, and slow to warm. Easy (flexible) children tend to be happy, have regular sleeping and eating habits, adaptable, and calm. Active (feisty) children on the other hand, are on the complete opposite spectrum of flexible children. They're sometimes a bit fussy, have intermittent feeding and sleeping habits, and are fearful of new people and situations. Lastly, slow to warm (cautious) children are a bit of a mix of flexible and feisty children. They may be less…

towards one-self and the practice of yoga. But the thing is—more often than not—it’s the already quite flexible ones that say these sorts of things. And preferably in the beginning of the class, as if to lower my expectations and hence impress me when they slide into Hanumanasana, or the splits (okay, not all of them are that flexible, but you get my point). If I wanted to be impressed by flexible people, I’d go to a circus. I would much rather listen to your constructive reflections such as,…
