The Product

Currently as of now I believe my product is the experience I have gained in volunteering in a hospital setting. Through my service learning at San Dimas Community Hospital I now better understand how things work around the workforce. As a volunteer there I have learned there are always guidelines in which must always be followed and sets limitations to what I can and cannot do; just as any profession in any field. My evidence is my volunteer ID, which can be found here.

Independent Component 2 Plan Approval

(1)   Write a description of what you plan on doing for your independent study component.

For my independent study component I plan on incorporating it with my service learning.

(2)   Describe in detail how you think your plan will meet the 30 hours work requirement.

I think by doing my independent component with my service learning, it will not only help me achieve the hours needed but it will also give me more time to spend with my service learner to acquire the knowledge I need.

(3)   How does your independent study component relate to your EQ?   

My independent study component relates to my EQ because it will help me understand what is important in being a RN by watching and learning up close and personal on what they do.

Independent Component 1

Literal

I, Darien Pasigan, affirm that I completed my independent component which represents 30 hours of work.” 

I completed 35 hours of my service learning at a convalescent home. I spent it learning how to deal with the elderly properly and how nurses go around treating each with their undivided attention.

Interpretive

This represents 30 hours of work because I have been aiding and watching nurses deal with the elderly patients. This has helped me to better understand what it’s like to treat elderly patients, how to communicate with them, and how to just care for them and respect what they’ve lived through.

Applied

This component helped me answer my EQ because I am trying to figure out what is most important in being a Registered Nurse and what I’ve learned from whit was you have to be compassionate. Compassionate in the way that you have to respect the patients, acknowledge their background in order to better treat them, communicate more effectively, and realize they all seek different needs and attention. I learned that being “too academic” with the patients only portrays you as working through the education for the pay and not through the proper qualities a nurse should posses.  This component gave me a greater understanding on how being compassionate

Answer 1

(1) What is answer 1 to your EQ? Be specific in your answer and write it like a thesis statement.  

In order to becoming a successful Registered Nurse, one would need to be able to effectively know how to manage their time at work with their daily life. RNs that are able to manage their time 
helps give them a greater sense of control and the ability to meet the demands that their job may throw at them.


(2) What possible evidence do you have to support this answer?
Evidence = facts, examples

During my second interview, my service learner told me that time management played a key role for a RN. I asked her why and if she used any type of technique to help her manage her time or deal with a certain task. She said being able to manage your time helps lessen stress and allows you to focus more on the job. In order to deal with specific task whether it be on the job or at home she used this problem solving method. This problem solving method was so simple and yet very effective. The steps she told me was to first see what the Problem is, then Plan on how your going to deal with it, you then take Action on it and after you Evaluate the problem and what you've done.
