    Interpretive

     What is the most important thing you gained from this experience? Why?

• The most important thing I gain from experience is working with the patients and really understanding them. I got to talk to diabetic patients and really listen to what they have to say and work with them to make there life fun. I got to grow closer to them and teach a lot about me topic with Jo Ann Schultz as my mentor. I also got to talk to doctors and learn all about Casa Colina. The reason why is because every time I got there I did my patient rounds. I visit them and saw how they are doing. Sometimes they were discharge so I never got to say good bye I meet new patients all the time. I got to help those in need when they need me so I like that on my job. It would be patient development because I really got to grow closer with them also learn how to talk to people. So I gain people skills and presentation development. Jo Ann always made me talk and show new volunteers around and show them all the drills.

   Applied

     How did what you did help you answer your EQ?  Please explain.

• I got to learn about diabetes from my service learning with Jo Ann. I got my answers from patients there and observing them and see what make there sugar raise. I really got to see all the effects of all the patients. I talk to them and got to do yoga classes and learn new things. Jo Ann would give me answers and tell me what good and bad. I got to use the patients to really make those answers true. I got to really find different activities that go with that answer. When Jo Ann did here diabetic class she explains everything. She explains what causes it and ways you can prevent it. Also when I research it pop up and everything is really made the answers truer. I think it’s more because of the patients because I got to see what happen of I talk about this or do this. I would change this up and see what happens also tested it on my dad.

3. Summarize the service you have work to complete the 10 hours?

I have been working with Mrs. Schultz since the beginning of October. She give me research on what diabetes that would help me greatly. Every time she would get something new on diabetes she would give to me to look at.   Also she let me go to patient rooms and check on how they are doing and if they need anything. Sometimes the patient want to talk to me and they tell me everything there are going through. This show me how to treat a patient who is suffing from a long term disease and how to talk to them. By telling the patient everything going to be okay  it shows that I can listen and understand what they are going through. Most of the time I am doing service learning I am with a patient who wants to talk and also follow the nurse and see what they do. I also Talk to to the doctors there and they tell me what they do and what paper work you have to deal with. Jo Ann also has me work with Nikki and she shows me how the schedule work and how to fill in a time card. Also she shows me what I need to learn in order to go into the field I want to go into. She have me do what nurse do and deal with phones and this helps me out because you always want to keep on top of your information for the doctor.
