Final class

4/29/09

Today was my last day of class. We watched the film The business of giving birth. It was basically about natural labor verses assisted labor. My perspective on the labor and delivery process has always been biased towards the medical viewpoint because that is where my experience lies. This film definitely opened my eyes to a whole other view of birthing. I have to say I am so much more interested in learning more about promoting and supporting natural childbirth. It is funny how some of these classes have been very educational for me. I have learned so much about teaching and I realize the importance of presenting different perspectives to students. This allows them to see that there is often more than one way to care for patients.

It was sad to say goodbye to Dr. Arnold and all the students. I plan to keep in touch with everyone and hopefully I can continue to be a resource to the students. I am so thankful for this opportunity and I look forward to next semester. I have decided to do my next practicum at Brookhaven College to get experience working with an ADN program. I am planning to meet with my faculty member in the morning to discuss plans for next semester. I hope everyone has had a great semester. I have enjoyed sharing my experiences and reading my fellow classmates experiences. Goodluck to everyone!

  1. The last day is always sad. Each time I work with a different group of students I learn something new and find myself looking forward to the next group of students. I believe I learn as much from them as they do from me.
