In my transition to life after high school, I know that I will utilize the skills that I have developed through my leadership. As I plan to attend college in the fall I can’t help imagining the kind of student I will be there. Will it be harder to make myself stand out in a larger environment when I come from such a small school? Though questions like this run through my mind, I know I am prepared to try my best to show those around me that I am someone to be taken seriously. I plan on becoming a Resident Assistant after freshman year so that I can help my peers feel safe and part of the college community. Additionally, I intend on continuing my involvement in student-run clubs and I am interested in working with the administration to make
As a second year Pathologists’ Assistant student at Indiana University School of Medicine, I am writing to express my interest in the Pathologists’ Assistant position. I believe that this position is ideal for me because my internship at Montefiore was the first step in me become a Pathologists’ Assistant. Through this internship, I was able to obtain the knowledge on how to become a PA, what a PA does, and it solidified any question on whether I wanted to be a PA.
As for how medical assistants can interact with patient data, it’s recommended that you consult the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) for their “meaningful use” requirements. In October 2012, CMS issued a guidance regarding eligible professionals under the meaningful use incentive program. This guidance includes the following statement with regard to medical assistants being allowed to enter data:
Colombo explains that “Beginning college can be disconcerting experience” (Colombo, p.1). That there will be more peer pressure from your peers and an increase expectations that you have never faced during your high school days. “In the dorms you may find yourself among people whose backgrounds make them seem foreign and unapproachable” (Colombo, p.1). Colombo also states “If you commute, you may be struggling against a feeling of isolation that you’ve never faced before” (Colombo, p. 1).
What experiences have you had which prepare you for this position (e.g perhaps as an employee, leader, or working with people different from yourself, etc)?
After over 15 years of working as a CNA and Caregiver, I decided that I wanted to continue my education in the medical field. In 2013 I took the first step towards gaining a better future with more experience as a medical professional. I enrolled into a Medical Assistant program at IBMC college of Longmont. It has been a long road and I am almost to the finish line having gained essential skills needed to move further into my career. It has been a grueling and eye opening experience for me being an adult learner returning back to school at 33 years of age. I persevered through these pass two years with courage and determination, never letting my short comings get the best of me. As I approach the end of my journey with IBMC I have realized that I have a passion for helping those persons who
Ever since I was a little girl, my motivation to pursue a career in the medical field was evident. While other children my age watched Cartoon Network, I found more value in shows like ‘Trauma: Life in the ER’ and ‘A Baby Story.’ It wasn’t until high school that I decided I would become a nurse, specifically. I cannot say that I had a revelation or a particular experience that swayed my decision. However, ever since I began pursuing the career of nursing, I discover each and every subsequent day that it is what I was put on this earth to do.
Individuals’ perceptions of their life/worth have the power to control the goals that they can carry out and meet. Every day we are learning new things and everyone has his/her own unique ways of learning. My strong desire to help students with their academic, personal, and social needs make me a strong candidate as a school counselor. While completing my undergraduate degree in Early Childhood Program Administration I learned a great deal about myself. I have a passion for learning and want to share and express that love for learning with students. I feel that the Master of School Counseling program provides a direct path to my career goals of helping students to comprehend subject matter while learning to love learning as I do. Not only will
I was able to experience some pretty amazing things that caught my attention before knowing I wanted to become a dental assistant. I never truly understood what all is involved in the dental world until I found myself in it and learned the importance of it! It takes great patience and understanding! But at what point did I really realize I wanted to do it? What got me hooked?
Anxiety ran throughout my entire body the morning before my first class of college began. Not knowing what to expect of my professors, classmates, and campus scared me to death. I knew the comparison to senior year of high school and freshman year of college would be minute, but never did it occur to me how much more effort was need in college until that morning, of course. Effort wasn’t just needed inside of the classroom with homework and studying but also outside of it where we are encouraged to join clubs, get involved and find a job. Had I known the transformation would be so great, I’d have mentally prepared myself properly. It’s easy playing “grown-up” in high school when one doesn’t have to pay expensive tuitions, workout a
The Governor’s School has also taught me what the college atmosphere encompasses. Being one of the five leaders on my floor, and I take this role very seriously as I try to bring everyone together to help one another. The community of friends at the Governor’s School is
When I began college I had a small group of friends, but when I was trying to introduce myself to new people it came as a surprise to them that my parents did not attend college. After the conversations ended, I felt uncomfortable with how to act or think because I had a feeling of misplacement when talking with my fellow peers. As a byproduct of the change in college culture, it will create a “friendlier” environment for the first generation. Students need to feel safe, rather than out of place.
As a new freshman entering this Community College, you will be discovering and experiencing many new things about the world in which you live and yourself. The jump from high school to college can be a very scary but exciting experience. I have some valuable advice for you on how to make this transition smoother and an enjoyable experience rather than a scary and lonely one.
Being a resident assistant is a tough job. It is a job that has made a stronger and more confident person this past year. It is not a suitable job for students who are afraid of confrontation. There are two types of resident assistants that I have observed. The first type of resident assistant is the one who will give a violation to any resident for the smallest of things. The second type is the one who tries to be friends with everyone and sometimes lets things slide. Finding a balance between the two is somewhat of a rare feat, but can be achieved. There will be times when a resident assistant is required to write someone up whom they consider to be their friend. There is always an ethical choice that comes with autority on whether or not you should turn a person in or to turn a blind eye. This exact sitatution happened with my fellow resident assistant; Kimmy. Resident assistants are required to go on rounds in their assigned dorm buildings around once a week. However, that does not mean that they can't report residents when they are misbehaving at any time during the day. One night when Kimmy was walking down her hallway she noticed that there was a loud commotion going on in one of the rooms on the first floor. Upon knocking on the door Kimmy observed that there were a large amount of people in the room and alcohol was clearly visible. West Chester is a dry campus and because of that no alcohol is allowed anywhere on campus regardless of how old you are. The first step of action is to call public safety since they deal with any alcohol related incidents. Before they come however resident assistants can ask for everyone in the room to present their ID. One of the residents pleaded with Kimmy not to report her or give her a...
In college, I will also be exposed to new clubs and activities. I feel that club and after school activities can make a person more involved and give a person the right qualities to become a leader. Involvement in extra events has provided a balance for rigorous course study. With the pressures that college brings, I will probably want to be involved in many groups.
I strongly value a personal approach. In a small college you 'll find out their are a great number of opportunities to engage with professors and students, as well as asking valuable questions and speaking out. Most of the faculty will have devoted time for graduate students obtaining master 's degree and Ph.D. programs, but unfortunately they will have less time for the undergrads. (Grove, Allen, No.5) At large universities, classes can include up to hundreds and hundreds of students. Due to the surplus amount of students, there is not much luck with getting questions answered by the professor. Whereas, at small colleges, you have an advantage with strong recommendation letters for Grad school because the professors will know you personally by name. (Zawel, Marc, Par. 4) As can be read, a college’s size has an immense impact with the interactions among the students and professors. Large universities often tend to have professors who are on the top of their fields, such as experts, renowned researchers, and writers. The downside is such that the undergraduates may not have much association with these type of professors. A graduate student, known as a “teaching assistant” (TA) may run a more focused and smaller seminar classes in order to review what the material the professors have recently lectured on during the main class meeting. This could be a pro for the students attending a large university, because the TA may have more time to independently
