...to fulfill my mission. Health care is an amazing field and should not just be considered a way to get paid. I feel my missions is to provide the best possible care to individuals in need no matter their religion, color of their skin, status or illness. I believe my philosophy is all health professionals are obligated to give all mankind the best patient care possible. I see patients not as a statistic or illness, but as people needing a special center of attention unique to each patient. Sleep technicians must always use sound medical decisions when treating individuals. As a health professional I feel that it is necessary to promote a healthy lifestyle to our patient in order for them to become more aware about their health and to help them do more on their own to create a healthier lifestyle for themselves and those they love. As a sleep tech or as any type of health professional, patient confidentiality is of utmost importance. Sleep techs are responsible for educating patient and their loved ones about the disorders of sleep, how it is treated, ways to create better sleep hygiene and the negative effects it has on the body if left untreated. As health professionals, we should also follow the same things we preach to patients about living healthy lives and taking care of our own health. As the saying goes “Practice what you preach”. Sleep techs must always keep up...

...During my junior year, I was attending the Pre-Veterinary Technician program at Tri-Tech. Prior to coming into this program, I didn’t have much knowledge on animals because growing up I wasn’t exposed to much of it. I was interested in taking the program to learn about the veterinary field and gain some knowledge on the different jobs veterinary technicians are required to perform at clinics and hospitals. At the time I wasn’t definite on becoming a veterinarian or veterinary technician because I didn’t know what I was capable of doing. While taking this program, I learned about proper restraints on animals, proper grooming on animals, anatomy and physiology, zoonotic diseases, medical terminology, different breeds of animals, and jobs required of veterinary technicians. After one year of the program, I came to the decision of becoming a 2nd year student during my senior year. I knew by taking another year at Tri-Tech, I would learn more about the the field I’m interested in doing. Before coming into this program, I had many possible careers in mind. One: to teach English in a foreign country. Two: to major in English and become a writer....

...As a result of the significant impact ultrasound techs have on patient care, the advancements in technology, and the opportunities to grow myself and my education, becoming one has become a passion for me. It was during my mother's pregnancy that I fell in love with the healthcare environment. Attending her ultrasound appointments and visiting her at the hospital.

...celebrating 20 years now. I have worked in many fields, such as aerospace, automotive (Specialty vehicles), manifolds for oil, power & industrial applications, and fire protection equipment and apparatus. I have an Associate of Applied Science in Tool Engineering, a Bachelor’s of Science in Digital Design/Visual Communications and classes towards an Associate of Applied Science in Mechanical Engineering Technology. The global economy has made it hard to compete, not only for business, but also individuals. I have found this out the hard way by suffering through lay-offs. Even though with experience and schooling, it is hard to justify the benefits of experience and knowledge when today’s students have a Bachelor’s of Science degree (in Mechanical Engineering or Design Technology) and some CAD experience. That’s where Ivy Tech comes into my plans. I know that the American Honors program at Ivy Tech can help me achieve my goals and advance my career. I wish to become the leader for a group of designers, and drafters. I am looking forward to the Associate of Applied Science in Design Technology at Ivy Tech in helping me to achieve this goal. This course will help me gain new knowledge and insight. The AS in Design Technology will be instrumental in my current career and aid me with the ever changing technical advances in today’s business world. I also hope to use this education to advance my education to a Bachelor’s of Science in Design ...

...Abstract Working in the medical field can be a rewarding experience, when you see the patients feeling better, returning to the comfort of their homes and life as they know it. However it can also have its challenges. Working in a medical lab where there is no team work between the various sub-departments causes’ poor patient care and decreased turnaround times. The purpose for this experiment is to create an environment in which the labs sub-departments can work together as a core lab (a team of one). Department leads got together and identified all barriers that they saw and then came up with ways to fix the barriers in order to establish better team work between the sub-departments within the lab. The teams went back and implemented the new team building ideas and the results have been great.

...The Negotiation Checklist is a list that helps to prepare you for negotiation. The list consists of four parts: you (the negotiator), the other party (them), the situation or environment, and the relationship between the parties. According to Tripp, “The well prepared negotiator knows the playing field and the players, is seldom surprised, and can promptly capitalize on opportunities.” In the first part of the negotiation checklist, self-assessment is necessary in order to determine what you want out of the negotiation process. You must determine the goals that you have in this negotiation, so you can determine what you want out of the deal or process. After the goals are set, each issue must be determined then be assessed as to whether or not they are important or not in the negotiation. Then you must determine your BATNA or Best Alternative to a Negotiated Agreement. If you have multiple alternatives, you are able to demand more in negotiations. Lastly, you must determine what your resistance point is, and when you can walk away or choose your BATNA. The second part of a negotiation checklist is the other party in which you are negotiating with. The other party must determine any issues that they have as well as address the issues that you bring to the table. Even though you have alternatives, the party that you are negotiating might have other alternatives as well. You must determine what the other party’s resistance point is and also set your resistance point...
