Veterinary technician

Over the course of the last ten weeks, I have been shadowing a variety of nursing roles within a nursing home nearby for my mentorship. During this time I have followed a variety of nurses and other closely related roles in the nursing home. While each experience was fulfilling and enjoyable, I found a sort of home in the dementia unit at the facility. It is questionable as to why I had chosen this section, but I have come to realize that it may be because of the behavior that is observed in…

That was when my office manager walked in to ask me if I needed help. At that moment I knew I wanted her job.

Ever since the beginning of time people have been divided into social classes by whether or not they had money. Even though society has tried to make everyone socially equal, some people are richer than others. In fact, Jesus prophesied, “The poor you will always have with you…” (Mark 14:7, NIV).

Animal shelters or as some people prefer to call them pounds, are a place…

It has been stated that, “Approximately 7.6 million dogs and cats are euthanized yearly” (Bell 3). Due to the large capacity of commercial dog-breeding operations, there are more pets offered than customers desire. Stray animals come in all different shapes and sizes, and any breed could struggle mentally through this disastrous environment. Veterinarians and animal shelters have to make room for new incoming pets, and have no choice but to put down pets that are not claimed by an owner for a…

Since beginning at Penn Foster, it has been a challenge to balance out all my responsibilities as an adult. From working forty hours a week at my local Walmart, to volunteering a few hours of my day at the SPCA my life is full of chaos. It is not always easy to stay focused on my assignments but with a little bit of planning and some help from family members it has become much easier to stay on task and makes it…

Since becoming an online student, it has been a testament of will power to every aspect of my life. Every day, I battle to adjust my daily work schedule, my personal life, and my school work. I fill in as a Physicians' Aid at Holy Cross Hospital. Monday through Friday, I leave my house around 6:00 a.m. for the 1 1/2 drive to make it to work on time. I am a multi-tasker in my occupation. I help medical attendants and specialists in admissions of their patients, taking patient’s weight and health…
