Critical Thinking Thursday Today

Hi Everyone!

On Thursdays, during the next few months, we will be dedicating our brains to critical thinking and problem solving.  Feel free to bring school or workplace scenarios that you can contribute, real or imagined.

Today's challenge is:

Is it possible to  "teach" someone to be COMPASSIONATE?  What do you think?

HOMEWORK:

What is your LEARNING STYLE?  (25 points)

Take this survey first:  (it will determine your learning style)

Once you know your learning style, research three ways that you can improve learning and retaining information, then go to this website and PRINT OUT BOTH pages or write down strategies for YOUR learning style, see website below:

Be ready for starting our infection control module tomorrow.  Please watch this video:

Or....type in Healthcare Worker Hand Hygiene and see this picture   There is even one on YouTube called Handwashing Gangnam Style HA HA



Think about:

1.  What type of specialty area are you interested in?  I really appreciate those of you that
     say - "I trust your Match.com system Mrs. Erceg."  :-)  If you are interested in dental/oral
     surgery or veterinary, I will place you in those areas.

2.  Who in history, dead or alive, would you like to write about regarding the history
     of medicine?  The more obscure people will not be as easy to research, so I will need to know
     who you have chosen (approval process).  (nobelprize.org or http://www.netplaces.com/american-
     history/the-age-of-industry-invention-and-discovery/early-medical-pioneers.htm)

3.  Why is nutrition important?  Please think of about 10 non-perishable items that you can
     carry in your backpack or bag that you can "graze" on during the day.  Choose healthy
     proteins and add some carbohydrates.  Example:  apple, string cheese, crackers. I will ask you
     to write these up and create a shopping list.  Fun and easy recipes/food combinations welcome!
