1. For the Independent Study Component I plan to continue mentorship and accrue volunteer hours in the ER; observing procedures performed by the nurses, running errands for the nurses and assisting patients.
2. Not only will I complete the 30 hour work requirement I will most likely end up doing additional hours. For example if I work once a week for 4 hours until the due date of the component I will have accumulated this many hours: ~ 64 hours.
3. My working EQ is "What is the best way to administer anesthesia?" While working in the ER often times nurse anesthetists and/or doctors will run into a situation where a patient will need to be put under right away; facing crucial life or death predicaments. I think I will be able to learn a lot just by observing the nurses/doctors when they are handling situations as these.
