Before FNU 206 Introduction to Nutrition and Dietetics, I only had an idea of what I wanted to do as a Registered Dietitian, but not exactly how to reach that goal. After taking this class, Dr. Adkins has given me direction as to how to find my first destination. The Registered Dietitian career is not like being a doctor; there is no specific practice to study in school and stay as that type of specially trained practice. There are certain practices and patients to attend to as a Registered Dietitian, however my first job can be in a clinical setting with cancer patients as supposed to a company focused on wellness of the body. The same situation applies before becoming certified when I must put those hours of experience in. This intrigued

I have the drive and determination to obtain a degree and finish school. In my family’s history, it was always a challenge to finish high school. I knew that I wanted to go further in life because I knew I had the potential to be something. I then worked hard to obtain my GED. After receiving my degree, I have attended school so that I can work in the health field to become a CNA. This was a great journey for me. I had come across many bumps in the road, but I kept the faith and I worked hard so that I can complete what I had started. I desired to be a finisher, to finish whatever project or task I begin. Completing the course for my GED was a great milestone, but when I finished school recently and passed all the required tests to become a CNA, it was the proudest moment of my life. That is when I really realized that there is nothing impossible or too hard for God. I realized that as long as I keep Him first then I can do anything I put my mind to do. I have really grown and understood what it means in the book of James where it states “faith without works is dead.” I’ve always had faith, but I needed to grasp the concept that in order to be successful in life, you have to work at

It was merely a decade ago that the obesity epidemic was thought to only be a minor problem and had only alarmed a small number of endocrinologists interested by the size of the situation (James, 2008). However today, the problem of obesity is vast with more awareness of its presence by doctors and individuals alike. In fact, the Center for Disease Control and Prevention states, “More than one-third (34.9% or 78.6 million) of U.S. adults are obese (CDC, 2014)”. These numbers are outrageous and eye opening, leaving millions looking for a solution to this troubling epidemic. Obesity is not simply a cosmetic flaw as some might think, but is actually a very dangerous state of being for any individual to sustain long-term. Mentioned further in

A journey of 1000 miles begins with a single step, a Chinese proverb that I have come to live by through my journey of nursing. I never thought in a millions years that I would have become a nurse. When I was younger nursing was the only profession my mother pushed. It was as if everyone in our family had to be a nurse. Honestly, I think I rebelled from the thought of being a nurse simply because it was my mothers desire for my life. I went from wanting to become a lawyer, to a therapist, to a pharmacist, to even a radiology tech. Ultimately; nursing became the clear path that God wanted for me. Interestingly enough I have come to realize my personal

* Prior to performing A.’s physical assessment, I gathered information over her diagnosis tonsillectomy, adenoidectomy, and vitiligo and any passed medical problems to be aware of. I then introduced myself to A. and her family and asked her if she wanted her grandparents to stay in the room during her physical assessment. I then explained the process of starting at her head and working downward to her feet by providing privacy throughout the whole assessment. First I started, by observing her appearance and behavior and how well A. communicated with me, A.’s behavior was calm, cooperative and appropriate for her age. I assessed PERRLA in both eyes, her pupils were a 3, equal, round, reactive to light and accommodated. I assessed her mucus membranes which were pink and moist along with assessing her throat by looking at the back of throat and checking for bleeding , whitish area, and odor. I then asked her if she had any frequent swallowing and trickling of blood in her throat. A. stated she did not have any frequent swallowing or blood in her throat just some soreness and discomfort in her throat. A.’s throat had white areas on both sides where the tonsils were removed with no bleeding. I auscultated her heart and lungs, and heard S1S2 and her

Life sometimes seems scary. The fear of failure and the fear of the unknown make a person rethink its choices and goals, this happens all the time. As time passes, be days, moths, years or only simply one experience can change our whole vision of the world, about life, about what really matters and consequently about our goals. Throughout my whole life I have questioned so many aspects of my life, of existence, and consequently about my future. I never stopped wanting to achieve something big, that could change the whole world, some amazing adventure that would be the one thing that would give birth to all the amazing things that could happen next. As time passed I realized that life itself is one big adventure, and that what I will do every day will matter for me and for the people around me. I realized that life is not some perfect movie where there are good guys, bad guys and that in the end of one amazing journey everything would be solved. It may be a childish vision of the world, but it had motivated me for years to do the thing I believed would help me achieve this, and to believe in myself. Obviously as I grew up, I saw what the world really looked like, that sacrifices have to be made, that there are things which no one can control, that if I want something I have to work really hard. In today society everything counts.
