Independent Component 2 Plan Approval.

“I, Karen Uribe, affirm that I will complete my independent component which will represent 30 hours of work.” 
 
 On my second component I am hoping on volunteering in OB instead of the front desk. If I am given the opportunity to work there it would benefit me more because I will have more hands on experience thus addressing my eq.


 

Independent Component 1

Literal
(a) I, Karen Uribe, affirm that I completed my independent component which represents 30 hours of work.
(b) At San Dimas Community Hospital, I have volunteered for 30+ hours at the front desk. On my Service Learning Log it provides the times and dates.

Interpretive
At the front desk, I was able to direct patients and visitors into the right direction of the hospital. I have been getting a feel for what it is like to work in a medical environment.
Applied
While volunteering I do encounter several different scenarios with various patients and visitors. Volunteering there I now know what paper work a pregnant woman must fill out, what information to provide and the process for being welcomed into a hospital.
