Acting 1: Reflective Journal Entry 1 One weakness you are hoping to improve upon this year? Is to improve my vocal skill. How I will be able to improve this skill is by . . . Myself getting help by my fellow troupe members that can range for freshman, sophomore, Juniors, and Senior. Also, what I will do to get better in singing is to try to get vocal lessons to help improve my voice. Why I want to get better in vocal skills is because . . . I want to be able to learn and improve my skill that needs more help than my acting and dancing skills. It will also help me because I need to become a stronger triple threat as some people call it. It will go a long way in my career to make me become a more successful musical theater performer. When will
On the 1st of November 2013, I performed my first simulation on the module, Foundation Skills for Nursing. This simulation was on checking for vital signs in patients particularly, measuring the blood pressure (BP) which is the force of blood vessels against the walls of the vessels (Marieb and Hoehn, 2010). We also measured the temperature, pulse and respiratory (TPR) rates of a patient. This simulation’s objective was to engage us in practising some basic observation techniques taken on patients in and out of hospitals and to familiarise us on some of the tasks we will be performing when in practise. I will be applying the “What”, “So what”, and “Now what” model of reflection in nursing by Driscoll (2000).
This paper aims to highlight an incident in theatre where environmental pressure has the tendency to lead to human error thereby compromising the patient’s safety. To reflect and critically analyse the situation, human factors, theories, guidelines and national policies that govern a theatre environment so as to improve the practice, raise awareness and prevent adverse event thereby improving patient safety in theatres.
Before I started this class I never knew what sociology was. I thought I knew, but I actually didn’t. I thought it was some boring study about the society that we live in, but I was proven wrong by this course. Through many different concepts taught I have been able to understand what sociology really is, and how to apply it to my daily life. There were many topics that we talked about in class that I can apply to my life be it school, work, home. Some of the many topics we talked about that really spoke to me were sexuality, race, and gender.
Writing essays was never my forte, it just never came easy to me like it would to others. Since other subjects came easy to me and I had to focus more than others on writing, I had a negative attitude toward the process as a whole. During this summer semester, I was able to grow as a writer, and gain a more positive attitude toward how I write and a better feel for writing in college. Writing a paper is a process in which there are many different stages. In high school I would never write outlines or any sort of pre planning work. Other struggles I encountered in my writing were my theses, and framing quotes.
Up until this year, before taking the class intermediate composition, I thought I was a terrible writer. I was right. Writing isn’t something that I enjoy doing, nor am I good at. Writing is difficult for me because I’m not very good at explaining things in a professional manner, that can be easily well written. While writing you are expected to make little to no mistakes, which is not something I’m great at. I am so much better at explaining things with verbal words rather than written words. I had not taken any extra writing classes before this year rather than the mandatory ones. Like I had stated before, I hate writing, with a passion. I dread writing anything, especially an essay for school, like this one. I’m
Initial Reflective Essay When I first thought of what I wanted to do with my life after college, the first thing I thought of was helping people. The next step in deciding what I wanted to do with my life was to examine how I could accomplish this goal. I started pondering and I was thinking about how much I love to take care of my body. Health care and personal hygiene has always been an important factor in my life. So I decided to major in Health Sciences.

... strength in creating the lesson plans for each subject was utilizing lesson plans that I currently use in my Kindergarten classroom. My weaknesses in writing the lesson plans was analyzing the lesson plans and describing the teaching methods utilized, and identifying the type of assessment, either formative or summative, for each lesson. I feel these were weaknesses because these were areas of the lessons that I had to be a little more reflective over to determine the teaching methods being used, and how I was assessing the students during the lesson. However, I feel that this weakness is actually another strength that was developed after completing the assignment. As an educator, becoming more cognizant
To begin, I am going to write about my weaknesses and how they transitioned into strengths. First, I remember after each assignment in class was introduced I
These capabilities that I have are ones I was able to develop on over the course of this semester. Now that I can recognize my skills, I can focus on how to improve these skills even more. Even though I’m good at poetry, description, and narration I can still build and improve these
The Institute of Medicine (IOM) report on the “Future of Nursing” (2010) have challenged nurse leaders and frontrunners of health care organizations to act towards the challenges of expanding patient care demand. In response, the health care system faced rapid changes and a multifaceted shift in patient care model (Baker, 2017; Denker, Sherman, Hutton, Brunell, & Medina, 2015), leading to the expanding role of nurse leaders. Such, health care changes and nurse leadership concerns have affected the health care industry nationwide including the United States Department of Veterans Affairs (VA, 2014). Despite Veterans Health Administration (VHA) system vast network of leadership, the organizational pipeline is insufficient to successfully

1. Throughout the unit of snorkelling, I developed, extended and applied my SACE Personal and Social Capabilities by, developing a sense of personal identity and self-awareness. This was achieved by, utilising and expanding my knowledge and achieving an Australian Underwater Federation (AUF) Snorkelling Certificate. This certificate opens a wider spectrum of jobs opportunities and improves your resume significantly if wanting to become an Aquatics or Snorkelling Instructor, or a Marine Biologist Teacher.
