Program outcome 5: Demonstrate awareness and skills to sustain personal health and well-being.
This Program Outcome was a bit of a surprise to me. I did not expect a college degree that was intended to help you achieve management level in health care to take into account that the student should practice what was taught for themselves. Too often Healthcare is all about giving and never for doing for yourself. This paper was written in 2012 just as I was starting to take a major life change and become very ill. I had to stop the pursuit of this health care degree for a while to pursue my own health. This paper begins to demonstrate that I was already thinking about what I saw in the future for my health care. As I look back on this paper, I see that I have indeed kept some of the same attitude that helps me be well. I explore how I have seen successful aging in my own family, how humor is important to a good quality of life, and how I will most likely continue working one way or another as long as I can. This paper also demonstrates my evolving goals of my own personal health and quality of life. To view the paper that goes with this activity, Please click here. Activity 5.1
