Nursing assistant skills

Growing up in my household, the motto was “contribution”. My mother would make my siblings and I help her with the cooking and the cleaning around the house. I use to be envious of my peers because they did nothing to help out in their household, but as I had begun to age, I realized it was a method to my mother’s madness. She taught me that everyone must work together to accomplish a goal no matter what the situation may be. I believe that is why I have always valued teamwork and enjoyed group…

A Look Into Expanded Function Dental Assistants The providers of oral health care encompass a larger scope than just the dentist and his or her assistants and hygienists. Multiple disciplines exist within the field to help the efficiency of the dental practice and to provide the underserved population in the absence of an adequate dentist to population ratio.

of healing toys with imaginary bumps and bruises. This experience clarified the professional path I want to take. I decided to fully immerse myself into the physician assistant profession by learning as much as I could about the profession outside of my job and shadowing. I later joined the American Academy of Physician Assistants as an affiliate member to keep up with the growing profession of PAs and all of the state regulatory laws as well as receive weekly articles keeping me abreast of…

because it happened (Dr. Suess). Dentistry is one of the best jobs you could ever go in for as a career. Just knowing you have all the benefits you need and ever wish for right in your hands. You get the privilege to help others who need your assistant and just knowing that at the end of the treatment he or she is going to have a bright smile on their face. When you hear words like “thank you for the wonderful new smile you gave my son Patrick. He is very pleased with his appearance” it…

field experience by shadowing a physician assistant named Adam Strantz. He works in a primary care office in Fremont, Michigan. The office, Spectrum Health Medical Group, was fairly small and included only two PAs and one physician. Before starting my shadowing, I set a few goals for myself to learn during my time there. Each and every one of my goals were met through my time there. These included topics like communication between the physician assistant and his patients and also between his co…

As a Resident Assistant, I can expect to be confronted with at least a few incidents on a given weekend night. Although these incidents are often unpredictable in the sense that no two incidents are entirely alike, there are some general assumptions I can make before confronting the incident. One of the strongest assumptions allows me to hypothesize the trajectory of the incident based on the genders of the individuals involved. Based on my experience as a Resident Assistant, incidents involving…

through different techniques. Functioning as a Dental Assistant is a brilliant take off platform to turning into a dental hygienist or dental specialist. The authorizing and preparing are marginally distinctive for each of those positions; however the experience a Dental Assistant gets while working with patients, learning security systems and exploring the logistics of a dental office could be especially useful for propelling…

myself, I currently volunteer at a local organisation to teach KS2 students maths. Not only does it feel rewarding giving back to the community and providing students with greater opportunities, it has further enhanced my communication and management skills. I have adapted my teaching style and method of communication to suit each student’s needs. Furthermore, I support a group of year sevens at my school to monitor and track their progress with reading. Monitoring and charting a patient’s teeth…

Ever since I was in middle school, I could only imagine myself becoming an orthodontist. One of the many reasons I decided to pursue this career is because I had braces when I was younger and I admired the workers at my dentist clinic. Whenever I had a dentist’s appointment, I was fascinated by how somebody has the opportunity to align a person’s smile and be able to give them confidence. Additionally, I managed to ask my dentist several questions I thought were necessary to know in order for me…
