Working EQ

The Pentagon:

1. One positive thing that's happened as a result of what I have completed so far is the fact that I feel through my topic I am really helping people. One thing I really enjoy doing is helping people and I feel as though I am. I also feel as though I am studying a field that I could later on in life choose to work in.
2. My interview has really helped me understand Oncology from a physicians point of view. The nurse that I interviewed told me a lot about her own experiences and the things that she had to learn on her own when dealing with these patients. 
3. So far whenever I meet anyone new (since nurses schedules are always changing) I just introduce myself and explain my project so that they can help me in anyway possible. Another thing that helps is when I do my research I look for pages that will explain the medical terms I cannot understand. Or I look them up for a better understanding. 
4. While being at the hospital is a great experience, so far the tasks I've been given haven't really helped me to better understand my topic.
5. 
   
• I have a lot of questions for the patients. I would really like to have the chance to talk to some of them and ask them if how they are feeling or what they are going through is accurately portrayed in my research. I'd also like to be able to ask the doctors if they go through the same emotions that the nurses do. To me this answer should be different because doctors don't seem to have an as hands on or close relationship with their patients the way the nurses do. 
• Even though for the last few years I have gone to the Relay For Life in Kern County, I would like to become more involved in activities such as that through my project. I also hope do determine if the medical field is a place that could hold a future career for me.
• I would really like to talk to one of the doctors at San Antonio Hospital, just to gain the perspective of a doctor and what it is like for them. I would really like to know how what they do effect them personally. Or if it simply doesn't anymore. I would also like to talk to the patients, and hopefully will be able to soon, for their perspective as well.
