Recommended: Social work supervision in a health care setting

Today was my fourth visit at my clinical site. Due to upcoming requirements my CI and I started our morning by walking through my PTA student evaluation: clinical experience and clinical instruction packet she helped me identify a few sections at the clinic that was unsure about and reviewed over details that I provided in regards to her and my clinical site. Overall we had a goof mid-term discussion. We discussed where I am to date and areas we could look at for growth as SPTA over the next few weeks.
Again this week my CI provided me with the opportunity to demonstrate what I learned to current by allowing me to lead three patients through various therapeutic exercises. She basically informed me how much weight and resistance each patient

  • Psychology Class Reflection

    2302 Words  | 5 Pages

    Over the course of this class I have pieced together many things about my own life that before went unnoticed. I am now able to see things in a bit of a different light. Now that I have been introduced to the realm of psychology I understand some of the reasons for behavior around me. I have learned that there is a reason for most everything and a lot of our behaviors and mental processes can be explained through psychology. Studies have been conducted for many years to try and pinpoint the source of our behavior and it is not something that most people think about every day. Having a better understanding of why we operate the way we do will help me to better understand myself and the others around me.

  • Head Toe Assessment Research Paper

    859 Words  | 2 Pages

    Caring for a pt with a chest tube and uncontrolled pain. I learned a lot that day. I have been reflecting on your tips about my head to toe assessment and I have decided I am going to change the order in which I do things. However if I would have been able to do the chest tube assessment on my own, I would have made it a priority assessment when I initially went into to the pt's room to do my safety check I would not have waited to assess it during my head toe, of course I would have reassessed. This is another reason it's so great that as students that we have the chance to work with so many different instructors as nobody has ever suggested that I could make changes to the way I do my assessment, so thank you! I think I was able to take a small leadership role in asking Harley to give my pt his 0800 meds when I was unable to leave the med room, and knowing that it was more important for the pt to get his Dilaudid, than for me to practice the skill; I asked Harley if he could give the med if my instructor wasn't back within ten minutes. In the past I have felt like if I can't do everything within my scope for my patients that means I'm not doing a good job, but I'm trying to be more mindful that it is okay to call on a team member for

    What went well during my clinical day was that this was the first time that I was treated very well by the nurse. This nurse was really good about sharing what she was passionate about, so this encouraged me to want to learn more about what she was teaching me. The best part of my day was patient and parent interaction. I went into two patient’s rooms and played games with them or colored with them. It brightened up my day seeing them laugh despite the health issues they had going on.

  • APA Reflective Essay

    Reflecting back on the course I would say that unit 3 and 4 was the most useful. Articulating Your Vision and Plan in unit 3 made me put everything into perspective on what is expected of me as professional and student of Capella University. Although I still struggle with APA formatting in text citation, I assert that with constructive feedback, exposure to APA, repetition with discussions and essays, it has helped my tremendously. I am more confidence of my writing and learning how to cite with fewer mistakes. Using, “The Publication Manual of American Psychological Association” and Purdue OWL as my guide for writing as been a great tool.

    One situation that was a positive experience was in my Senior ELA class and we were studying Thoreau’s Walden. I always became engaged and motivated when small group discussions occurred. Additionally, I was surprisingly intrigued more than other students by philosophers like Thoreau and Emerson. We were discussing the metaphorical imagery related to nature Thoreau used to discuss the human experience. Not only did I seem to be one of the few to participate frequently in the discussion but also my responses were deep and concise. I received praise from my teacher and peers, it was one of those few times I felt really proud of myself.

  • Assessment Reflection

    969 Words  | 2 Pages

    As I reflect on my past assessment process, I realized how much my assessments have changed over the years. In my early years, I used tests for informational recall as my assessments. I felt these were appropriate guidelines in which I needed to follow in order to substantiate a student’s grade. Every assignment or tests was given a point value and then based on the amount of points, a grade was given. Every student’s assessment was exactly the same, and the assessments did not contain any subjectivity. I felt confident in giving the grade based on a valid point system. However reflecting back, I see that I did not include any performance-based assessments or individual learning styles in my early assessment. I also did not take into consideration the individual needs of my students. My assessment approach was awful. I am embarrassed that I use to assess students in this manner.
