My Essential Question

My Essential Question: Why should people like me decide to pursue a healthcare career and choose the right one?

I personally chose this question because it relates to me. I want to know more about why is it important to choose a healthcare career. I know that healthcare is a very important field to go into. The only bad thing is that more people are needed. So I want others to know that healthcare workers are necessary, and why they are important. The answer to this question excites me because its going to give me more reasons to be a nurse. I know that I want to become a nurse, but I want to know how much I will be helping others. This reflects a desire to make sure that I know that this career is suited for me.

My New Essential Question: How can I modify my caffeine intake and communicate others about the effects of caffeine on health?

My Mentorship

Every single day at the Guilford Immediate Care is busy. The thing that is very unique is that you never expect what is going to be the problem. My mentors and I have been seeing different kinds of symptoms each time that I go. The regular routine that happens is a patient signs in at the front desk. The paperwork gets done at the front desk with the receptionist. The receptionist comes to the nurses station to give the paperwork for the patient to be seen. I always wait diligently waiting for patients to check in. The nurses have to check if there is a room available. I am trying to memorized where each room and their number by which they are known. Then my mentors call the patients from the waiting room. You never know who to expect once you call their name. The patient is weighed and is taken vital signs by me. The patient is taken to a room and  be asked various questions.  Then we leave the patient alone in the room to wait for the doctor. I am glad that I get to learned new things every time I go.

My General Medicine class that I took my sophomore year is the class that changed  my life. I didn’t know much about healthcare science. I knew that I wanted to go into the field when I took a career personality test. Health Care was my top choice, and the class helped me understanding more about specific careers. I knew that I wanted to be some type of nurse but not a specific one. I know more about basic things that go on in the healthcare field.

Social Intelligence

There are several challenges that youths face in the workplace. The biggest problem that teens have nowadays is communication. They can't have a serious conversation with an adult. Youths don't have the gut to have a conversation over the phone instead they prefer a text. Another issue is not concentrating on the job or daydreaming about other things. The biggest problem is always wanting to be on their phones. They are always forgetting to have a good impression. I have made a large improvement on not doing any of these. I am always reminding my self to be my best and always have a good impression.Social intelligence is the ability to maintain sociability but remaining professional. This is very important because helps people have a better understanding how important something is. This makes a person realize the reality of things that are happening in the workplace. One thing that is very important and I always like to do is make a good impression.  I always try to be my best especially in my mentorship.
