Shadowhealth Course Reflection

Although I have employed many of the methods and steps listed within the lessons, I have not done so in a systematic and methodical manner. As I continue through my studies at Global University, I believe that the skills taught in this lesson will be of great benefit towards my success.

Hello Frances, excellent thoughts on your initial post. I felt the same way too. I was nervous and overwhelmed when I started this course. I thought my assessment skills were thorough. However, with this course, I realized that I still have room for improvement. I agree it is essential to treat our patients holistically. Nurses must include the patient’s culture and values, family and social roles, self-care behaviors, job related stress, developmental tasks, and failures and frustration of life in their health assessments (Jarvis, 2012). Additionally, The Shadow Health assessment with Ms. Tina Jones was a great learning experience. With Ms. Tina Jones I achieved the course objective of communicating effectively, writing my documentations accurately,

The course text is progressing on the right track and we are fast approaching the end.

I believe I met most of my learning objectives. I learned an extensive amount about Rutgers University. I

Upon reviewing the course information, if you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact me.

I have grown as a reader, thinker and writer thanks to this course. These are the things that I have worked on and improved over the past couple of months and I feel that my work shows this. In no way do I mean to sound over confident, I know I still have plenty to learn. However, I am extremely surprised and proud of myself. I will admit I had thoughts of previously giving up, I allowed myself to focus too much on the negative. Now, however, I feel differently. I have learned through this course how to write, how to express myself, and how to find the answers to the things that I don 't know. Most importantly, I learned to

Your goals are realistic and achievable; your study habits are functional ensuring you have obtain measurable knowledge of the contents presented to you during each weeks seminars, in which I admire for that.

I have shadowed two physicians during my pre-medical years. These experiences have significantly shaped the type of physician I want to be in the future. Not in the sense of a medical specialty, but rather in the sense of demonstrating a clear compassion and understanding for my patients.

The shadow health assignments make one think in a simple yet complicated way. Compound questions cannot be asked, at times we forget that when asking questions to our patients and think that they are medically savvy. Simple open ended questions is the way to go. The shadow assignments are lengthy but when I started them and didn’t get into the appropriate questions, my scores were low. Able to see the progression of learning and interviewing in a way that flows and addresses each system correctly.

From day one, I noticed the relative ease of the course. The two friendly instructors welcomed the entire class, and they presented the material in a simple and comprehensible manner. My seven classmates and I bonded immediately. I recall

Upon beginning this course I had both a reaction of anxiety as well as gradtification. When it comes to learning anything new no matter what it is I always seem to question myself if I am discipline enough to take on the challenge. I made a physical checklist to help me mentally prepare for making sure that I was setting myself up for success. Without knowing what to fully expect I made sure to allivate possible destrictions like going to a quite place in my home, re-reading the material for clarity, and making sure to proofread material before I submit. After enrolling also felt a form of gradtification. Graditificantion in a way in knowing I was taking anothr step closer to achieving my

Personally, what was your mindset and goals upon entering this course – have they changed at all and, if so, how?

When I first started this course, my grades were not where I wanted them to be. I found myself feeling down about it because I expected more from myself. I knew it was not my best work, and wondered what I could do to improve them. With “Achiever” as a strength, I am pushed by my drive.(Clifton, Anderson, Schreiner, 2006). I thrive off of hard work and often look to myself for the motivation needed to complete whichever task is needed. Seeing those grades made me want to improve and work harder. I began to set aside time to only focus on my

Reflect: This course never interested me. I really was never interested to take this course as there was no need for it. I considered myself who could write well as needed in my job. For the field I am in, I did not think I would need more than I already knew, rather I felt it was waste of time. For me to stay focused and remain enthusiastic was the biggest challenge.

My performance on the degree so far has been fairly ok, although I could have done better. Most of the time, I have achieved second lower or second upper grades. It has been due to the fact that the course’s structure
