United States Navy
11/1998 to 10/2001
Navy Instructor
As a navy instructor I am tasked to motivate my students. As an instructor I promote critical thinking, student engagement, with on-hands application. By promoting encouragement students equip themselves to possess a potential for a great attitude towards learning. The classes that I instruct have about 12 to 17 students. So, there are average about 60 to 100 students per month.
I promote motivation by using my past and background to break the ice. My students have given me great satisfaction. The results are displayed in the reflective evaluations, which the students get to do at the end of the training course. The students learning experience with the curriculum allow them to utilize the new tools for the job description.
Furthering any expectations, I establish an intuitive connection with service members that they could continue the training outside of the navy. This technique seems to always promote long-range goals. As a senior instructor, I ensured that all of our material was current with the navy standards and directives. As a navy instructor my skills also were utilized with interviewing and counseling. This was due for cases were students who didn’t do well in the course. I had to ask probing questions to determine what was the cause of their disconnection with the course. The last phase as a navy instructor was the writing and assimilation of material to personalize the course, which we as instructors were going to instruct.

Laboratory Blood Gas Technician
As a laboratory technician, my job was to perform and due various test on patients. These patients were many different units. The units were from the intensive care unit (ICU) or the cardiac intensive care unit (CICU). The test was about the different levels of activities’ of how the heart was performing. I performed maybe 23 to 30 tests per night depending on the work of patients.
The final outcome would determine if surgery was going to be the final solution. As the laboratory supervisor, I had to review the training of the new laboratory technicians and what their role was going to be in the unit towards which they were attached. I also gave them an analysis of what the test was reading. It gave them a sense of ownership and how much value that they were to the patients stay in the hospital.
I always thought of the training of understanding various patient medical conditions to proceed with performing scheduled testing. Also interfacing with hospital doctors and nurses concerned with the diagnosis of patients. As I gave them training about specific equipment, which performed the different tests. This allowed them to fell proficient about the final tests presented to the medical nurse or doctors.
