I have compiled six assignments that were especially meaningful to my education over the past two years.
Case study disparities lead health
Writing this paper helped me reflect on how lead poisoning can impact entire communities and the serious health risks it poses, especially to children. What made this topic feel even more relevant is the recent announcement to residents in the city of Saint Paul regarding the presence of lead pipes in many homes. While it's concerning, it's also encouraging to see that initiatives are being taken to address and resolve the issue. This paper reinforced the importance of public health advocacy, education, and prevention in creating healthier environments.
Nurs 4603 Clinical Binder
After the completion of my first preceptorship at Regions Hospital I had complied a binder to reflect all the learning and experience that I gained from the Orthopedic unit. I spent a significant amount of time completing the assignment, it includes detailed documentation on patient care, assessment tools, nursing interventions, and guidelines. It also includes information on the specific health concerns I encountered, such as osteoarthritis, osteomyelitis, hip and knee fractures. I also, added valuable insights on interdisciplinary collaboration, as I worked closely with physical therapists, occupational therapists, and other healthcare professionals to provide comprehensive care for patients.
Summative Meditation/Contemplative Reflective Journal
I wrote my journal about the time I did my pediatric rotation at Children’s Hospital, and how it was so different than my other clinical experiences. The unit culture was not welcoming at all, and the time of noticeable lack of rapport between a patient's family and healthcare workers. This experience helped me understand how essential emotional support, trust, and clear communication are in overcoming challenges in healthcare settings. Despite the difficulties, it was a valuable learning opportunity in recognizing the impact of trust and compassion on patient care.
Nurs 4203 Mental Health Support Group assignment
I joined a support group for an assignment in my mental health course and actually enjoyed it because I listened to many individuals reflect on their debt challenges and how they’ve been coping. Hearing their personal stories helped me understand how financial stress affects mental health and made me more empathetic toward people facing similar challenges.
Nurs 3804 Nurses role public health assignment
This was an interesting paper to write because we first had to complete an engaging simulation that took several hours to finish. I am passionate about public health and community health, and this experience deepened my understanding of how conflict, displacement, and limited access to healthcare intersect to create urgent humanitarian crises.
Core 3990W-S02 Global search for jusice
I spent a significant amount of time researching about the reason why african immigrants are not using contraceptives. Writing this paper allowed me to reflect on how we can shift perspectives, especially by involving men in the conversation and advocate for solutions that respect cultural values while promoting informed decision-making and healthier communities.
