Personal Narrative: My Experience As A Residential Assistant
My reason who seeking this position as a Residential Assistant is to hopefully make the residential halls a more enjoyable place to live on campus. I see this as a great way to get involved with something on campus. This contribution I really want to make is to help the residents feel more at home living on campus. I know firsthand how hard it can be moving away from home for the first time. It can be difficult living by yourself or even with a roommate. I want to figure out ways to help people get better adjusted to campus life. I have lived in the same building and room for 3 years now and have seen consents problems. I would see people who do not belong in the dorm leave early in the morning (ex. Male leaving Masur early in the morning)

    Sounds pretty similar to the agency I work for but it sounds like you had a lot more training then we did. Oddly, I was never asked or told to shadow anyone however, I did have a few nurses shadow me. I asked these nurses about it and they told me they weren’t getting paid for their time and I thought that was a little bizarre. I’m guessing that many agencies do not pay people for training after hearing your experience was similar to…

    As I was looking for a Physician Assistant program I focused on three main things: research, prestige, and location. I was fortunate enough to discover that Yale PA program exceeded my expectations. As a clinical research assistant, I have had the pleasure to work with great clinicians (doctors and physician assistants alike) who have graduated from Yale Medical School and Yale PA program. Their perseverance, ability to react efficiently and decisively in difficult situations are some of the many qualities that Yale highlights and solidifies in its programs. Furthermore, shadowing one of the physician assistants who graduated from the Yale program gave me a better insight on the rigorously, expectations, and preparations of Yale PA program.…

    During the summer I worked at a nursing home to gain some experience in the healthfield. Working as a certified nursing assistant really helped me grow and it is one of the most rewarding jobs I’ve had, it also was very challenging at times. As I said before I struggle with anxiety, but working as a nursing assistant pushed me to overcome some of the fears I had of communicating. I learned really quick when working in a nursing home you strongly need the ability to have good communication skills because without it you can’t communicate with the charge nurses, the residents or the other C.N.A’s. Everyday that I worked there I used different forms of communications such as body language which I learned says a lot about what a person is feeling.…

    After speaking to my amazing residential assistant she informed me that she loved everything about her job. Her other co-workers, the building, the students, and her employer.

She also informed me on the good and the bad qualities of her job and why she appreciates both because both have shaped her to be the best Resident Assistant she can be through experiences. A few of her experience were slightly weird but it was astonishing how she has grown and handled each situation according to the rule book and her job description.…

    Walking into work I smell the aromas of a nursing home. I hear the sounds of wheel chairs and walkers scraping against the hard wood surface. As I walk to station one, I stop by the break room to store my food. The room is full of people charting the prior shift. Walking out of the room, I continue to station one. Finding the cork board with the neon green paper, I see what hall I am working. There is only my name and one other on spring hall. I know it is going to be a rough night; but at the end, I will remember my goal, which is helping others.…

    When I was thinking about writing this journal post a particular experiences came into my head. I pushed it aside for the fact that it didn't fit the criteria for this journal. However, after struggling trying with writer's block, I gave in to my original thought. The experience I am going to be talking about doesn't fit the criteria of being a patient/nurse interaction because I wasn't with a “patient” or in a clinical setting.…

    Living on campus is another stressful aspect of my life as a college student. Even though there is a sense of freedom that comes with having your own place to live, it still is a large responsibility to manage. Paying rent while also taking maintaining a stable living environment takes quite a bit of effort and, fortunately, I have survived at least one semester. I’m glad I’ve taken on this task, however, as it’s yet another example of the ways that I have continued to prepare myself for larger responsibilities down the…
