Showcase Videos
Content: The top 3 things I learned from this showcase were:
I learned the characteristic that most people are seeking in a healthcare worker. This directly impacts me with my future work in healthcare because I could investigate characteristics that are more important for employability.
Culture: This project relates or connects to my family, background, peers, community or my own personal interests in these ways:
Both of my parents were medics in the Air Force and I was with them in the hospital for a majority of my childhood, as a result grew to love the profession. Upon both my parents retiring from the Air Force, my father went to earn his bachelors in nursing and is currently serving as a Cath Lab nurse.
Metacognition: In reflection, one thing that I would have done differently during my journey with this showcase is:
One thing I would of done differently during my journey is by finding some negative things about my past that involve healthcare and investigate how it will affect me. (teacher note here – he did add this in his final showcase presentation video)
Social/Emotional: One thing I am most proud of by completing this showcase is:
I feel like that by completing this I get to prove to the people that say “Guys should not be involved in healthcare unless their a Doctor,” or “Males should not be nurses.” Nursing is an incredible profession regardless of ones gender; as long as you do something you love it never matters.
