    The ER waiting room smelled stale. Sick babies and toddlers were crying, waiting to see a doctor. My brother was laying on the tan tiled hospital floor. He was shaking terribly as the antibiotics from the previous hospital wore off and the infection set in more. Both of his hands were red and swollen. His right hand, had a black mark from where the IV initially infected. His left hand was swollen to the size of a small balloon, kind of like a blown up rubber glove I used to get from the doctor when I was younger. My mom took her jacket off to cover him. His skin was hot to the touch but he was still freezing. His fever was 101.2 but there were no open rooms in the ER at our second attempt at a hospital. We had to get him antibiotics…

    With my first week of clinical affiliation from the HCR ManorCare-Pittsburgh location under my belt I can give a sigh of relief that I have gained an understanding into the early expectations that my Clinical Instructor (CI) and staff have for me. From day one to current I have been asked to handle and comprehend tasks that I discovered during my academic and laboratory learning at CCAC such as goniometry, transfers, parallel bar training (to name a few). So for me being able to translate what I have learned and apply this to my inpatient setting has been invaluable. Yes, the way they document (electronically via IPad) and use of electronic stimulation placements are slightly different then what I’m accustomed my goal will be to learn these…

    Hospital Internship: Eight hours a week I travel to Catawba Valley Medical Center where I shadow nurses in the oncology unit. Thus far in my internship I have been given a first hand look into the various jobs that make up the oncology department, how medications are administered and what their purposes are, patient care techniques, etc. This internship has not only allowed me to explore my intense interest for the study of oncology but radiology as well seeing as how I am able to rotate between the two units depending on the day. I have also gained an extensive knowledge through observations at the infusion center located downstairs when I travel with patients who are receiving treatment.…

    While medical care was available growing up, there were financial or situational periods where it was not necessarily accessible. I am from a single parent family. My mother moved in with my grandparents after her divorce and works two full time jobs to help provide for my brother, grandparents, and I. Since my father went to jail and my grandfather passed, we have had to make many adjustments financially. This was the case due to my father not providing payments for child support for the time he was incarcerated nor occasional months prior. There has also been a complication with my mother and I having our identity stolen, which has created additional problems when applying for governmental aid throughout my undergraduate years. I worked…

    There I was laying on the field, during the second half of my football game, tossing and turning as I held my right shoulder in agonizing pain. I looked up only to see the trainer looking down at me with a concerned look. “What’s wrong?” he asked. Repeatedly I tapped my shoulder as I was struggling to get the words out. He helped me up and walked me back to the sideline. I waited for what seemed like hours for the game to end. A few days later, I went to a local doctor to get an X-ray. The doctor told me that there was nothing wrong and that the pain should subside in a couple of days, and it did. Later in the season as I went in for a tackle, I felt my shoulder pop. Immediately I was in pain and thought to myself, “ It happened again.” This…

    When I first entered Mercy Learning Center it felt like a positive atmosphere where everyone wants to learn and excel. Everything and everyone had their place; I saw a lot of people walking into their classrooms and faculty members discussing to each other. It felt like I was in a school and the atmosphere also felt safe. I spoke to the receptionist and she called in the Volunteer Coordinator to show me around the building and where I would be helping out. I got placed in the Early Childhood Department, I was a helper to the teacher and her assistant. It was a great experience to get familiar with working with children. These children were the sons/daughters of the mother students in the center. When I was there I noticed that all the women there were trying to build a better life…

    It was a peaceful Saturday night when I was eleven and, of course, I desired chocolate milk. I drink soy milk since I am severely allergic to milk and eggs. In our refrigerator, the soy milk is always on the right side and the regular milk is on the left. However, on that night, someone put the regular milk on the wrong side of the refrigerator. I did not recognize that I poured the regular milk into my cup. I was so excited to drink the chocolate milk so I chugged most of the glass. This was a huge mistake. Immediately, my throat began to itch; I felt like I had an eraser in my throat. I started to panic when I realized what was happening, and I told my dad who rushed me into the bathroom. I began throwing up violently, and my heart was beating like I had just run a marathon. My mom…

    Music has always been my way to connect my thoughts to the real world. When I hear certain songs, I can usually associate and compare my life to the lyrics. For example, I can make several personal connections to the song “How To Save A Life” by The Fray. “How To Save A Life” connects to my life by relating to my future, how my mom plays such an immense role in my life, and my faith.…
