Personal Support Worker Certificate I completed this program two years ago at Fleming College. This certificate applies to my future in nursing because it gave me a basis of knowledge to begin on when caring for others. It gave me experience specific to the health care field and better prepared me for nursing. This program also helped update my grades academically from high school, thus improving my chance of getting into the registered nursing program at Trent University. |
Preparatory Health Science Certificate I completed this program in April 2014 at Fleming College. Like my personal support worker certificate, it too prepared me for nursing. Not so much clinically, but increased my text book knowledge including anatomy, chemistry, and English skills to better prepare me for this nursing program. |
Health Care Provider (HCP) CPR Certification When working in a health care setting, it is important to be CPR certified because there are often scenarios where CPR is needed. This relates to my future as nursing because it is something I will likely use often and need a knowledge of in order to care for others. |
Gentle Persuasive Approaches in Dementia Care Certification of Training I completed this training a few years ago as part of my personal support worker course curriculum. It was not only helpful in long term clinical practice for the PSW program, but it will better prepare me for dealing with patients/clients in nursing. Since the Dementia rates in Canada has risen, this training relates to my nursing future because it is very likely I will come in contact with people whom are diagnosed with Dementia and these approaches can protect not only the patient, but myself. |
First Aid and CPR Level C + AED Training Certificate Although I am currently certified in HCP CPR, this training relates to nursing because it is just more knowledge I gained in regards to safe and successful care. Basically, this training also focused on first aid procedures that can be useful in the health care setting or even situations found within the general public. |
Proof of Influenza Vaccination This is proof of my influenza vaccination. This relates to nursing because for clinical placements and future career locations, nurses often come into contact with the influenza virus through patients. Therefore, this shot helps protect me from infection and from spreading infection to others. |
Letter of Recommendation from a Previous Clinical Instructor This is a letter of recommendation written by a previous clinical instructor from the personal support worker course I completed. The letter of recommendation relates to nursing because it shows my previous work-ethic and can suggest how I will be in the nursing clinical setting or even my future nursing career. |

Curve Lake First Nations Health Center Skin Integrity Project
These documents were used to try and implement a policy and educate the staff at the Curve Lake First Nations Senior Citizen's Center and community members on the assessment, documentation, prevention, and staging of pressure ulcers. The brochure was intended for the use of community members that are involved in the care of their loved ones. The skin assessment tool was intended to go along with a skin assessment and documentation policy to be completed as directed. The pressure ulcer reference sheet was intended for the staff to use when using the skin assessment tool to aid in staging pressure ulcers. Unfortunately, this project did not get used as management was unable to continue with helping my partner and I implement the policy and tools. |
Curve Lake First Nations Health Center Diabetes Project
These files were used for a lunch and learn focusing on diabetes. My partner and I completed a presentation for the Curve Lake First Nations Senior Citizen's Center where we provided lunch and presented information on diabetes focusing on healthy living. The handout is what we gave to the residents and staff to view for their own personal information and the PowerPoint is what we discussed. |
