Room Creativity

I plan on bringing black sheets and put them on the wall so that the room is Darker, so that students wont get detracted as to whats in the room. I also plan on bringing certain materials that EMT;s work with, Im not sure exactly what.
My activity's will be the students getting in groups and one person in that group will be injured and the others will have to treat that injured patient and use Patient Advocacy.
My other activity will possibly be an endurance exercise....Im not sure because i might change my second answer to buisness networking

Answer Two

EQ: What is most important for an EMT to be successful?!
Answer 2: Good Health
An Emt needs to be in good health in order to be able to lift patients not just those who are lightweight but those who are overweight.
Evidence: research, throughout many of the articles that I have read through
Evidence: service learning, with all of my service learning I have learned that u have to be fit and in good health to keep up with the 12 hour day. Sometimes even 24 hour day.
Evidence: experience, personal experience because at the end of 7 hours I was already exhausted because my body wasn't used to the demanding job.

Service Learning Pictures



These pictures were taken at Lake Perris Speedway, where i was a ride along. We were they because we were the ambulance on call if there was anything that should go wrong with the racers or if there was an accident. I had a lot of fun.

Service Learning Pictures

This is Richard Sanchez an EMT that works at San Dimas Community Hospital. He has taught me many things that i know today, and has become a good friend of mine. 

Brian, Christine, Richard and Me....These are only some of the many people that I work with all the time at the Hospital.

Finally , This is Marissa, she really is trying to peruse me to do bigger and better things than just an EMT. She is an RN but she is in training to be head supervisor of the hospital.

The Product

My Product as of right now is knowing how to deal, treat and help patients. As well as learning how to act and treat other professionals in an Emergency Room setting/ profession. The evidence that I have that can support my product is service learning most definitively. The reason is because its the hands on experience, to which I attained my product. I have learned things by Richard Sanchez, Jack Fordham, Matt and other EMT's as well as nurses in the ER at San Dimas Community Hospital.
    Due to the fact that i have gone to Mission Ambulance as well as Medic 1 Ambulance, along with San Dimas Community Hospital I have been networking will all of these people as well as through this specific profession. That is something that is really important in this job, you get to know a lot of people and you are exposed to many different things and types of people, and different types of people who work in all the departments. I have learned how to deal with people on a way different level and that is by constantly going to service learning and also having a willingness to  do so. Because over time i have learned that the people who work there for the better of the patients are a lot happier with who they are and what they do, than those who work there because they want the money. This whole experience has changed me in more than one way, in which i have matured and  gained confidence that i never knew i had.
