An important skill for every person to have is having good interview skills as a bad interview results in no job. Most young people dislike the whole interview process or don’t have the experience which can lead to the interview going wrong.

Von Rueden et al sent out a survey to 262 staff nurses in the trauma center of an urban, 100-bed all trauma hospital. The survey asked for demographic data, nursing experience, and coping methods.

with the majority of residents being of German decent. Since then, the suburb has transformed itself into a bustling entrepreneurial center and holds the title as the second-largest retail center in Illinois. The shift away from a rural community and into a large economic pull for Cook County began with the development of Woodfield Mall in 1971 by Taubman Centers.

While heading to Grammy Museum I was able to arrive before it open, I waited for about 15 minutes outside. While waiting I was able to walk around and see the Grammy Awards that have been won throughout the years. They were displayed on the sidewalk heading towards the Museum. I was able to identity some bands and artists that I knew such as; Ray Charles, Norah Jones as well as Green Day. I was truly surprised to have seen these names displayed. Outside of the museum I was able to hear a variety…

Today alone 18 people will die waiting for an organ transplant. Just one person can save up to eight lives by being donors. Medicine and medical procedures can no longer save the terminally ill. Assuming that the patient chooses to donate their body to science, they can help others live even in their death. The choice should always be the patients, whether they are choosing to donate their…

and the medical world and I become determined to learn more. I am interested in the foreign, universal language of medical terminology and of the hands-on skills of assisting a doctor. I strongly feel the desire to gain the knowledge and skills to become part of their world. I vaguely remember sitting at my desk wondering what led me to the Health Sciences and Technology class.

Late into my first year, I volunteered for a campus research project which included a thyroid ultrasound – a serendipitous decision which would forever change the course of my life.
