These experiences are just two of many that have influenced my decision to work in a similar environment upon my completion of medical school.
THE Care Act 2014 is a piece of UK legislation that addresses the social and medical needs of adults in England. In order to guarantee that care services are of the highest calibre, secure, and satisfy the needs of persons, it explains the duties of local authorities and health and care providers .An example of the Care Act 2014 in for people who require care and support, "personal budgets" are currently being used. By letting people choose how their needs will be met, personal budgets provide people more control and flexibility over the care and support that they receive (Act-2014).
I should be considered for the Kaiser Permanente Health Care Scholarship because I have proved and accomplished more than what I thought I would be capable of in my education, I am passionate for the health industry, and I financially need to be to succeed. I will continue my education by pursuing my goal to become a Registered Nurse. I first considered Registered Nursing when I joined the Health Academy and realized how passionate I was to help others. Throughout my years in the Health Academy, my passion grew drastically. My summer of 2015 was dedicated to two internships; one being a Medical Assistant (200 hours) and another as a Physical Therapy Aide (80 hours).
The Care Act 2014 set out new responsibilities to promote new rights for residents/service users and carers. It also has an importance on wellbeing,prevention, integration of services and information and advocacy. This act makes it clear that the local authorities must provide or arrange services to help prevent a delay ingoing care and support. This may apply in data management practise as all organisations should have arrangements in place for sharing information between each other. - The Data Protection Act 1998
If you have Medicare, you might be looking for a way to supplement your coverage. You might already know that you have two main choices to look into -- either Medicare supplement insurance or a Medicare Advantage plan -- but you might not be sure which one you should choose. Although either type of coverage can help you get more out of your healthcare coverage, a lot of people who have Medicare coverage prefer a Medicare supplement plan. These are some of the reasons why you might prefer it as well.
I was highly impressed by the overall teamwork in the emergency department. It has a sense of organized chaos that would have taken me some time to adjust to. My nurse and I ended up going through a large group of patient during the time I was there. The nurse has this uniformity to how she would get her tasks done. The thing that through me off was the amount of stuff got done with our patients by other people.
The United States has multiple health care options such as Obamacare, Medicare, Medicaid, and health insurance through employers or on their own. Most of the people living in the United States, around 70% of individuals, get health insurance through their work or union. Other individuals get insurance on their own or a family plan. Some averages of individual and family premiums and deductibles are around a $280/month premium and $4,120 deductible for an individual, while for a family plan it is around $930/month premium and $7,760 deductible.
Although there are many outreach health care programs for children supported by the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, the fact remains that there is a gap in the services that are being provided to the children (Johnson & Deleon, 2016). With that said, it is essential to conduct program evaluation to assess the gaps and determine trends in susceptibilities (Bhattacharya, 2013). There are different programs such as the State Children’s Health Insurance Program (SCHIP) and the children with Special Health Care Needs (CSHCN) that are there to help low-income families. These programs were designed to help the less fortunate population including those with complex care needs; however, there are gaps in insurance coverage that are at a disadvantage to those children (Kerry, Julia, Parminder Kur, & Michelle (2017).
Ever since grade school, I was passionate about working in the field of medicine, and science. I enjoyed anatomy, medical spelling and terminology, and reading about the healthcare industry.

My plans and goals had turned me into a mature young adult.
The Structured Preceptorship at Drexel University gave me real insight into a residency program and challenges faced during residency. A typical day involved attending morning report along with residents, going for inpatient rounds and attending conferences, while interacting with residents, fellows and attendings. Online assignments, standardized patient exams and feedback from the preceptor allowed me to improve continuously. The Cardiology externship at Detroit Medical Center gave me hands-on clinical experience in handling patients. Everyday interactions with patients improved my communication skills and confidence levels, making me ready for the next level of clinical
I experience what it was like on a daily basis at the hospital. Experiencing this inspired me into going into the healthcare/medial field.

The first day I stepped onto the floor, I felt overwhelmed and I questioned myself if I was meant for this line of work. I was assigned 14 patients. Soon after interacting with all my patients, my perspective and doubts changed. After leaving for college; I started my college days as a full time pre-nursing student. I continued to work as a CNA and
During the second week, I was feeling more comfortable and confident working closely with the other health care providers and residents in the facility. The most interesting and enjoyable part of my time at the facility was caring and assisting
During this time, I noticed the difference in care provided between the doctor and the nurse. The nurse offered a more trusting relationship, emphasized the use of holistic care, and provided empathy, which was much appreciated. Thereafter, I began volunteering at Lowell General Hospital and experienced my own interpersonal relationships with the outpatients. I felt truly satisfied during my time there, as I was able to apply my values and experience the gratitude and warmth that radiated from each patient that I helped. Therefore, I chose to pursue a career in nursing, as it is similarly based on my own beliefs and makes me feel like I make a difference in the lives of every person that
