-During my internships, one of my goals was to get better at asking questions.

Before my internships I had poor communication skills, and had a hard time presenting the questions I had. After these internship experiences, I have became more precise with my questions, and have bettered my overall communication skills.The staff at The PIC Place  made all my questions seem valuable and worth asking. They always went way of their way to make sure I understood their answer. They took time to explain things to me. This internship gave me the confidence to start asking more questions. 

-One of my other goals while interning was to be more comfortable with patients.

The first day of my internship at The PIC Place, I was presented with both an MA and a patient I had never met before. This was a new and nerve racking experience that made me step out of my comfort zone in order to learn new skills. Throughout the semester the staff helped me become more comfortable with going in a room with a new patient without being nervous. Now I can proudly say that I  am comfortable with  helping new patients, and collecting vitals from said patients.

I am currently employed at Malsow Academy . It is a daycare here in Montrose. The kids there, range from 3 months to 10 years old. I enjoy working there and creating bonds with new children everyday! I have done two internships, both of them have been done at doctors offices which is something I enjoy and look forward to continuing in my future. During these internships, I learned many skills that will help to further my career, becoming a nurse has always been a dream of mine. I am so grateful that i was able to have both of those wonderful experiences, learning about medicine and sick people, while actually getting to interact with the patients!  I have learned so much from both of my internships and will definietly be using the skills I have learned in the future!
