The Need for Natural Health Education

July 15th, 2011 • Health Education • No comments

As I was working as a nurse in local hospitals and clinics I found myself feeling that I needed to do more for the patients. I wanted to spend more time with them and provide preventative care and emotional support. The problem was I had numerous patients and ended up being a technician of sorts, administering medications and monitoring IVs. I had little time for focused bedside care. The type of care Florence Nightingale spoke about in her writings numerous times.

The part I enjoyed was dong the treatments such as, bandage changes, compresses, and urine tests. That may sound strange but by doing that I had more contact with the patient and had more in-depth conversations with them.

I got out of nursing for a short period of time and worked with property management and attorneys. All the while I saw the buildings I managed as my patients and even kept the files as I did for patients in the hospital. It was an interesting job but I still had the feeling deep within me to help others in need.

During my days in real-estate I was faced with health issues such as chronic sinus infections, allergies, gallbladder pain, low blood sugar, fatigue and elevated liver function tests. I knew at that time that I needed to help myself. I sought out conventional medical care but only found that I had to repeat use of conventional drugs, drugs that just helped temporally and had a list of side effects. These drugs also caused my liver function to rise.

Due to my dissatisfaction I decided to seek out natural health care. Upon doing so I used homeopathics, herbs, and supplements that a practitioner recommended to me. My heath turned around drastically. I became stronger and reduced and eliminated the use of many of the drugs.

With all of the positive changes in my life I decided to seek out education in natural health. All those many years ago the education was difficult to find and when I mentioned it to family and friends they though I was a bit strange with my change in perspective. Even so I was determined to find classes. I trained with homeopathic practitioners, homeopathic professional organizations, a hypnotherapy guild, a reiki center, a shiatsu and healing center for acupressure and many more.

Since I found and completed many classes I then started to consult clients as a natural health care nurse. My education grew and I eventually obtained a doctorate degree in Holistic

What did College and University really taught me when I dropped out?

July 14th, 2011 • College University • No comments

For most of us studying is a complete insult to the brain wanting to do better things with our time. Some of us really enjoy it and get a kick out of it. For me it’s just a waste of time listening to so called professors who never actually kissed a girl. Knowing that makes a college more worth it and the internet serves us with energetic movies when sitting in the back.There’s always a story behind a story. So why didn’t I properly study?

I’ll sum it up what I’ve learned during my 2 years of College and 4 years of University. Some of them are applicable to companies.

#1. Don’t get distracted. Focus, focus and focus. There are loads of better things to do. Learn now…work later !

#2. Loose the attitude. Learning should be fun ! Your University or College tries to ‘hand over’ a future. Don’t wreck it.

#3. Listen ! Both parties should listen. For instance my University didn’t listen which resulted in missed out opportunities for me and the University. Ask whether they have or want to install a local ‘Wiki’ (a sort of Questions & Answer).

#4. Finding the right people to work/study with is essential. Some you may find cool to hang out but probably won’t get you anywhere. Body language reveals a lot about a person. I suggest you keep track of ‘signs’.

#5. Be fearsomely determined. Determination is essential. Cut the chord. Like Nike; Just Do It !

#6. Avoid the rich-kid Colleges/Universities. The nothing but annoying and won’t get you anywhere except to some exotic destinations with superficial, backstabbing and gossiphorny people.

#7. Be succinct and true to yourself. Try to create clarity for you and the rest.

#8. Communication remains essential. If you and others don’t properly communicate it will interfere with the solution.

#9. Be yourself ! Never let anyone change you ! People constantly try to alter your character. Don’t allow it. Only your spouse is allowed to change you.

#10. Make time for activities like sports, hanging out with friends, theater or relax at home. Don’t study too hard, also try to live !

#11. Find yourself a College or University that’s been around for decades. In the end it will save you a lot of trouble.

#12. Keep your promise(s) ! My University broke way too many promises it resulted in a lower interest/passion for studying (at that particular place).

#13. Never give up ! There’s always a way to get to it

Mental Health Education: How To Teach The Mentally Ill Using Group Education

July 13th, 2011 • Health Education • No comments

Educating Patients With Mental Illness

If you are lucky enough to experience leading a group on a psychiatric intensive care unit, you are in for a treat. You will most likely be challenged, entertained, delighted, and educated yourself all at the same time. The patients on a psych unit are going through crisis, and they have mental illnesses which make education challenging. healthThe education, however, is all that much more important to them. Psychiatric patients are in the hospital because they need stabilization from their crisis, and if you have the opportunity to educate them you at least one key to unlock a higher quality of life.

Some frequent issues challenge the learning environment of the inpatient psychiatric educational group. These challenges can totally ruin any possibility of patients learning anything from the group you lead. These challenges are sure to present themselves, because the people have problems. Keep this in mind. And note that some resistance from students is good because is indicates engagement.
Educational Challenges To Be Considered

* Wide variation in developmental levels
* Overactive and under-active participation
* Short attention span
* Total disrespect for the leader
What Makes a Great Educational Group?

The success of the group should be measured by learning. More specifically, whether the patients learned what you designed for them to learn. You can “wing it” and have a great group, but you can also have an awful group. When leaders are winging it you get a wide variation across different leaders. Of course, some topics are going to naturally be better for some leaders, but structure in the planning process can minimize the factor of chance.
How to Plan an Educational Group

Ask yourself what it is that you would like your patients to learn from your group. These can be deep understandings to simpler ideas and concepts. You are the designer of the learning, and the best way to design anything whether it be a car or a lesson plan is by starting with the goal in mind. Do you want your students to learn that when they go off meds and pass up sleep they end up in crisis and earn a trip to the hospital? Start there for yourself, but work backwards to plan the learning activities of the group.health This idea comes from a popular education book Understanding By Design (or UBD). It is a backwards planning concept.

10 Career Change Myths

10 Career Change Myths

Career Myth#1:

You can’t make a living doing something you really, truly love.This is the grand-daddy of career myths, the belief that you can’t have a “practical” career doing something that you were passionate about. It has to be one or the other.

Visit here:http://www.worldwidewriter.com//article-display.php?articleid=3591

This myth is rooted in fear. Fear that we have to sacrifice our happiness to make a living. Don’t buy the myth that you can’t earn a living by doing what you love.When I first started coaching, I heard from plenty of people that it would be very difficult to make a living doing this work. I just decided to find coaches who were successful, and to learn from them (simple, eh?).If you find yourself buying into this myth, consider this question – As you look back on your life, what will you regret more? Following your passion or following your fears?

Career Myth#2:

It’s a tough job market/economyEven when the newspapers and other news sources say that unemployment numbers remain steady, that job growth is at a standstill, or that we’re experiencing slow economic recovery, not to mention downsizing and outsourcing, don’t believe it.It’s a myth because it doesn’t reflect the whole story, the fact that that it’s a different job market today. It’s a changing economy.

How we transition from job-to-job is different. Hiring practices have shifted. So the job market has changed, but that doesn’t necessarily make it tougher. What makes it tougher is that we’ve been slower to change. We’ve held on to old practices and old behaviors. That’s not to say that old ways still don’t work, but they’re just not as effective.
So I challenge you to just believe that it’s a perfect job market for you to find work. I’ve had my college students try this, just for a week, and, more times than not, several of them find job leads or make important connections during the week.

Career Myth #3:

Changing careers is riskyWhat’s riskier than leaving what you know to pursue the unknown? Changing careers means leaving behind a piece of your identity – your “I’m a lawyer” response to the “what-do-you-do?” question. It might mean admitting to yourself that you made a mistake with an initial career choice. Or it might mean acknowledging that you’re unsure of what’s next. And smart people always know what’s next,

Which suitable college for you? A tips entering college

July 12th, 2011 • College University • No comments

There are different kinds of colleges that are available today. The problem lies in finding the type of education which matches to your specific interests and needs. We all learn best through different methods and identify the learning method is the best way to understand what work environment would be best for you.

General learning environment for college-level studies are as follows: community colleges, universities, and learning online or distance. Community colleges tend to offer smaller classrooms with more discussion-oriented styles of learning and discourse. Universities tend to be more lecture oriented while distance learning opportunities and online self-directed learning opportunities that require a lot of discipline to be successful.

When trying to identify colleges that will work best for you, you should keep in mind your personal style of learning. Beyond that you also have to consider the kind of environment you’d expect from higher education and the amount of time you want to devote to pursue your education and degrees. Some people find that university life is much too distracting while others find that the solitude of online and distance learning is a disorder in and of itself.

You’ll find all sorts of cultural opportunities at a university that is not found through home study or at the community college. Another important consideration is housing. Most universities have sufficient on-campus housing. Some universities only provide housing for students who have spouse and children. Online or distance learning program certainly does not offer housing for students.

Another attention that should be considered carefully is the distance between the class and each special need you may have. Universities tend to be large and spreading with distance in between the buildings. To students with special needs or physical disabilities this can be very problematic, especially in climate weather days. Community colleges tend to have smaller campuses. Online and classes learning need room, computer and internet access.

You should consider all these things which are suitable for you. Do you really want to take personal responsibility?  It is suitable in online or distance courses.  Do you want to take little courses? It is suitable in community college. You have to answer this question by your self.

My College Choice

July 10th, 2011 • College University • No comments

The two colleges I would choose would be either UCF(University of Florida) or FSU(Florida State University). I choose these two college Universities because they both offer many programs that I can see myself getting involved in. Not only that but they both are close to home and I will not be too far away from my family. I don’t want to be away from my family for too long, I”ll get home sick. My college choice will be either of the four year colleges. I will start at SPC for two years than move on from there. I want to be in a college where I feel comforable and I feel they have what it take to lead me to become a successful nurse. Both of my college choices have a nursing program. Which would be best for me?
