Day 1 - Catch Yourself Being... Yourself

Catch Yourself Being Yourself

Be the authentic you. Authenticity and identity are becoming more and more researched in positive psychology. When you’re being you and sharing your unique self with the world, you feel good, you’re more confident and you’re more likely to perform better.

HOMEWORK:

1. Catch yourself being... You! Be ready to share three things that you became aware of about yourself, ask others about feedback on you - what do you do well or that needs to be improved in your interpersonal skills?
2. Keep practicing how to properly wash your hands!  THIS video will show you the proper technique. Notice, they turn the water off with their elbows because of the handles that they have, but we will not always have those so take your drying paper towel and once finished turn off handles.  You will have a quiz on it Friday!
3. Print out THIS packet on Principles of Infection Control and read through it by Wednesday! Make sure to highlight any important info. Keep it stored under professional resources.
4. Buy some flashcards - a few packs of the multi-color type - they should be in class by Friday! Flashcards will be checked with binders on Friday!
5. Take a learning style inventory and bring me the results: http://www.educationplanner.org/students/self-assessments/learning-styles-quiz.shtml
6. Communication Style - What is yours? Communication Style article and quiz
7. Complete all appropriate paperwork and have it ready to turn in!
8. Have your parent or parents fill out THIS google form for their info!
9. Make sure you have your 8 tabs (Calendar, QOD, medical Terminology, Careers in Medicine, Communication, Professional Resources, Notes, Handouts) for your binder ready to go on Friday! and here is an updated link to calendars! Click HERE
