Interview Check

Who are you interviewing and why?
I am interviewing a Registered Nurse. Her name is Liliana Adalpa. She works at Kaiser Permanente. I want to get her opinion about being an RN and what was the process to become one and her education, etc.

What additional questions will you ask them?



1)What is the role of your postion and how do you achieve your responsibilites?

2) What type of educational backround do you need for this position?

3) What type of characteristics does a person need for this type of job?

etc.

Presentation Reflection

1. In what way did the first interview affect your presentation? Please explain, be specific and use an example.
A: I honestly didn't think the interview affected my presentation in anyway, good or bad. What affected my presentation the most was all the articles of nursing I searched up. With all the underlining and side comments I made, it was imprinted in my brain which made my presentation easier to talk about. I didn't even have to look at my information card during the presentation.

2. What you say stood out about your presentation performance and why?
A: What I believe stood out in my presentation performance was my interaction with the students and how even though the questions were a little rehearsed, my comments back to the person were positive. That was my goal in the beginning. I didn't feel obligated to ask them questions but it is rather something you do when you're presenting. You ask the audience questions and you give them answers. Simple as that. Of course, I had a few laughs here and there but that just made my presentation stand out.

3. What was the most challenging to do and why?
The most challenging to do was the overall 5 minute presentation PREPERATION. For example, creating the visual was a hassle because at first I was paying to much attention to the visual and then I completely forgot that I needed to see what kind of information I wanted to inform them with. My visual took me at least 3 hours to do and it wasn't even that great of a visual. (Keep in mind I took some breaks as well).

Senior Project Presentation: One

Lesson: What is the difference between an RN and LVN?

Objective: Students will learn to identify the difference between a Registered Nurse and Licensed Vocational Nurse.

Procedure:

Step 1:  I will introduce my lesson by asking a simple question to a few student for example, “We all know there different types of nurses in the medical field. Can you name a two different type of nurses?” Then I’ll call on a few. (Preferably someone who doesn’t know much about the medical field and someone who does)

Step 2: I will say to the students the title of my mini lesson.

Step 3: Then I will announce my objective for my mini lesson to the audience.

Step 4: For my visual, I will have pictures on a poster board of LVN’s and RN’s. Then I will ask the audience, “By looking at these pictures tell me who is a RN and LVN.” Of course they cannot because they all look the same so I will go in depth on what are are the differences of the two, etc.

Step 5: Next, I will check for understanding by calling on students and going back to my objective and see if they can answer it. I will call on a good amount of students. I will ask them to give me one fact on Registered Nursing and Licensed Vocational Nurse and move on to another student.

Step 6: I will explain to my audience what my career goal will be and why I chose this specific topic to talk about.

Step 7: I will wrap up my presentation by asking the audience if they have any further questions or if I need to repeat any of the material I said.

Check for Understanding: We will play a short game of Question & Answer. I will call on a random student and ask them a question and hopefully they answer correctly. If they do not answer correctly I will ask another person the same question, again chosen randomly.

Resource/Materials: For my mini lesson, I will have a poster board and pasted on there, will be pictures of LVN’s and RN’s in non-organizational form.
Possibly other materials/pictures that define a nurse like a stethoscope, needles, etc.

What is your topic and why?
My topic is Nursing. I chose this topic because a Nursing career isn't just giving shots and taking their pressure. It's so much more than that. You create bonds with your patients and you see them grow up from when they were babies to adults. It's also the feeling of being there for them when they have a fever of 102 degrees, to the common cold. The gratitude you receive from them is it's own reward. I believe the career you choose should be something you actually want to wake up for in the morning. Something you actually look forward too. I've worked at the Pediatrics Department at Kaiser. It was a great experience and not many people have the opportunity to work there and work hands on with the patients.


And what do you hope to accomplish after studying this all year?
I hope to learn so much more about this field and when I am doing my service learning I hope to keep in contact with the person after this is over and to one day work for Kaiser Permanente. Lets thrive.
