My experience as a leader and role model combined with…

The event contained a PowerPoint presentation, personal testimonies, a meet and greet session with current RAs, and light…

understand that all nursing homes are not terrible, and that some actually care about the wellbeing of their residents. The second day of clinicals was even better. Not only did I have the pleasure of meeting and getting to know more residents, I also got to practice my skills on actual residents. I aided residents with getting up and getting dressed, learned how to use the Hoyer lift, sat with a resident and 1-on-1 fed them, and so much more! It is fascinating to see how much a person’s mood…

tissue resident memory cells, a newly discovered group of lymphocytes.

The result generated indicated that at the site of an infection,…

theatre and plays, the title of this particular work didn’t strike me as the least bit interesting. My eyes were opened during the performance, and I was quick to change my harsh judgment. I thoroughly enjoyed the performance of the new musical, Resident Alien. All of the performers did very well in my opinion. Iliana Garcia, Kelly McCarty, and Kylee Smith Verhoff, Libby Rounds, Annie Sorey, Jimmy Kurts, and Hunter Taylor were among my favorites, both as performers and characters. Portraying…

With over 50% of the student body being out of state students, I myself being one of them, it is very important to…

Respect for autonomy is also violated when using chemical restraints, the resident should be able to make choices for themselves. Everyone is entitled to the right of self-determination; and if they are not cognitively able to do so, then the family’s opinion should be considered and they should always be informed. The non-maleficence principle “to do no harm” is violated as chemical restraints cause physical harm to the residents. Chemical restraints have been proven to increase risk of falls,…
