Interview Prep.

1. I plan on interviewing my supervisor, Evelyn. She has many years working at USC Keck Hospital and knows how a hospital should work and what it takes to have a department at its most successful. I plan on also interviewing various nurses and doctors since they know how nurse and doctor cooperation really matters in a hospital work place.
2. What are some successful traits the hospital has in regards to teamwork?
How active are the doctors and nurses in this department?
Does each department vary in work load?
What are some ways to overcome problematic situations with a patient?

Blog 3: Topic Choice and Semester 1 ESLR Goals

1. My topic is going to be: Running an ICU (intensive care unit). My topic needs some work and I hope fix it up.

2. Ipoly citizen: I will assume responsibility for my actions weather good or bad. I hope to learn the history of Ipoly in the future and contribute to the history with my model assembly and senior project. My presence and understanding will hopefully leave an impact.
Effective Learner: Learning is going to be everything in the now and near future. With everything I learn, I hope to create questions and answer them and, effectively, answer my EQ. So crucial to my senior project, i plan on learning as much as possible at my mentorship at USC.
Effective User of Technology: The computer was meant to be used. As an Ipoly student, effective use of technology is crucial. I will use as many sources of technology like my laptop or phone to contact my peers or help set up events like the prom or outings for the senior class and house. Not only does priority go to house and senior class activities but my project will need lots of help from the computer for research.
Effective Communicator: Collaboration, communication and cooperation is key to a successful year at school. My future duty will have to communicate with my mentor and scheduled mentoring opportunities. Planning for events with the senior team is also important since nothing can get done without approval and help.
All these abilities I wish to harness and perfect by the end of this year.

Summer Mentorship Component

Literal:
1. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AtzZW_LcuuBHdG1GaTVCSW9qNXlDVld0blFYVlhLclE#gid=0
2. My mentor is Professor Cassandra Stepp-Bolling and contact information is: (909) 762-0896 or
3. How am I going to use this information? Where am I going to go from here? Who will be my mentor after this? How am I going to create a project out of this?

Interpretive:
4. I think the most important experience would have to be the learning throughout the entire mentorship. Since my desire profession is in the medical field, human anatomy is going to be a crucial necessity plus it could help me in my next mentorship.

Applied
5. When I was doing the mentorship, I received news of an opening at USC Keck Medical Center. I am currently there and planning on staying there for the remainder of the year in hopes for a job. Now that I did this anatomy class, I understand what these doctors are talking about and it has helped me think of a few topics such as knowing the illness or necessities of a hospital. My topic is still unclear but I will figure it out.
