Blog 2.7- Gait Belts and CPR

I can't believe we are almost done with Genius Hour already! I think I speak for almost everyone when I say that its been hard to keep on task. I have been doing my best, but sometimes its just very hard to do so. This week I was in Bozeman for two days and that really threw me off. I didn't get to practice like I wanted to because I was gone and I had to work after school almost everyday.

I watched a few more videos to get some more tips, but at this point I think more practice will help me more. I have a book with my skills and I am able to follow the steps in the book so I don't forget any. I don't think I will be able to show you all of my skills and all the steps during my Ted Talk because it might take too long, but I will time it out and see what I can fit in.

I was at the HOSA convention this week and went to a nursing workshop that was really fun. We did some fun things with gait belts and hands only CPR. While these skills were not on my plan of things to learn, I'm glad I learned them and I know they will be helpful in the future. I also was able to meet one of the professors at the nursing college at MSU so it was great to meet on of my potential college professors.

 I don't think I will deliver the simulation baby like I planned earlier just because it takes a lot of set up and I can't work out a time to do it when I'm not working. I am not too upset about this, because it was kind of something I planned to do if I had more time. I plan to start working on my Ted Talk and hope to have a great presentation for you all!

    I'm really looking forward to your TED Talk! I read most of your blogs (I don't know if I read all) because I found them very interesting. I'm excited to see what you're going to talk about.

Blog 2.0- Second Time Around!

Welcome back to my blog! This time around I decided to do something related to my future career, so I decided to learn some nursing skills and gain some medical terminology. Some of the skills I will be learning will include simple patient care, giving injections, starting an IV, and possibly delivering a baby. This will be done by using the medical simulations at Miles Community College. I will be learning the medical terminology by using books from the college and online resources. I will also be sitting in some of the college classes, so I hope to be able to learn more by being there. My Shark Tank Pitch was kind of frustrating for me, because I was in a car headed back home from Denver and I had to make a slideshow on my phone. It wasn't too bad until I realized that the service in Wyoming was a little off and on for about two hours. Finally I was able to have enough service to finish my slideshow, I just couldn't add any pictures. When I got home that night I added ...

Week 3- Progress is Being Made!

First of all, I want to tell you all how thankful I am that we had a four day weekend!  Thanks to this amazing, long weekend I was finally able to go out and take more pictures and videos.  I spent a couple of days getting the shots that I wanted, and I think they turned out pretty great! Since the weather was beautiful, I was able to take some nice landscape pictures and videos. One thing I learned this week, was that the sun makes a big difference when you take a picture.  If you look at an object with a camera with the sun behind it, the object will appear very dark and unrecognizable.  I was able to take pictures at different angles and avoid this problem, but if need be, I can take the pictures at a different time of the day. Moving objects are also hard to capture.  We moved cows this weekend, so I brought along my camera and tried to take some pictures of our cows and calves.  I had some luck, but I wish I was able to take some better pictures ...

Week 2- Experiments and Learning

This week I was able to start the process of taking pictures and videos for my documentary. I went out with my dad to check some cows so I took some pictures along the way. It was freezing cold and raining, and after about an hour of taking pictures my hands were frozen. Despite the awful weather, I was still able to take some great photos and a few videos. While I am not a photographer by any means, I was able to capture some great landscape pictures and some pictures of old buildings on the ranch. I was able to see how much I improved within the couple hours I took pictures and learned more about how to use the camera. However, with it being as cold and rainy as it was, I could not get some of the landscape pictures I wanted, and plan to take more on a clearer day, hopefully one where the sun shines a little bit more.  One thing I have learned this week, however, is that taking videos that look good is very hard to do. I took about three videos, mostly of landscape, and ...
