Reflection

Anna-Lise, Paven, Rebecca, Christina, and Colton - I appreciate your thoughtful post addressing the key points of the intersectionality paradigm and the long responses that followed. I see the incredible value of this paradigm that addresses the relationships of health disparities in the scope of the dominant culture, wherever the dominant culture is, speaking globally. I especially appreciated the point made by Pavan regarding the role of the NP which I would like to expand to the role of the…

When I recall teachers telling my class to expect a group project, groans and lists of complaints ensue from students. After the initial acknowledgement of the incoming group project, these students begin to worry about the identity of their inevitable partners who will impact which direction their grade will be headed for. Throughout my school experience, teachers have favorably chosen group projects as a method of assigning a great deal of work. Furthermore, these projects are a lesser load on…

Brief Summary: “The Internship” is about two friends and partners, Billy and Nick (played by Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson), who lose their jobs selling watches because everyone uses their cell phones to check the time nowadays. They decide to apply for an internship at Google which could ultimately lead to a permanent job. They find themselves competing with much younger and more technically savvy applicants. The quirkiness of Billy and Nick appeals to their fellow team members and they find…

During this past week I worked with David, a freshman in high school. David has a positive attitude about reading, but doesn’t always read for pleasure. When he does read, it’s usually for his school assignments or during the summer. David said he is currently reading the Odyssey in school, but he is having a very difficult time understanding it. He expressed that he likes to read science fiction short stories or horror books so I decided to start with something that he might be a bit more…

This week I felt excited to be back on the med surgical unit after 4 months being away. I have missed my med surgical rotation so much because I didn’t get to do much during my Ob/Peds rotations. However, because I experienced how Ob/Peds clinical are, I am now sure that I wanted to become a med surgical nurse. This decision also makes me feel more anxiety toward the future examinations because I really want to complete my Nursing school and become the nurse that I wanted to be. But as always,…

The Butler is a powerful movie that demonstrates the various and complicated perspectives of the African Americans that were living during the civil rights movement. Usually, when watching a movie about African Americans, it highlights the risky excursion of African Americans who attempted to crush the racial boundaries unhesitant to celebrate winning their battle against racial discrimination. However, in the case of The Butler, it takes a close consideration regarding the conflicts inside the…

I have a personal connection to this topic as I have struggled with having ADHD my whole life. Since I was a child I have battled with decision making, completing tasks, getting distracted, forgetting necessary things, being unaware of my surroundings, having random bursts of impulsivity, judging the importance of certain things, as well as not being able to let go of things easily. I had always seen it as nothing but a character flaw, something that I could just fix if i worked hard enough.…

switched to electronically taking notes on my laptop. My notes consisted of a series of bullet points that followed the chorological order of the discussion. I wrote down what each individual student was saying (both related and not related to the IPE cases), their level of engagement with the case and their fellow peers, who took the roles of leader, scribe, and timekeeper, their body posture and actions, how they represented their respective fields, etc. Along the margins of these notes, I…

Last year I led a “Change the World” project in my English class. My grandmother had recently died of Alzheimer’s, so I wanted to learn more about the disease and how I could help. I assembled a small team of girls who cared and knew someone who had been affected by Alzheimer’s. We read about research being done and remedies being developed, and discovered a small, non-profit, called Music and Memory. The movie Alive Inside showed how they use music to touch and “awaken” seniors suffering from…
