Blog 5: Mentorship and Research Reflection

1. Describe your experience on how you found your mentorship. 

• I happened to find my mentorship, with no intention of finding one at the time. A substitute teacher (whos name I don't recall), was asking me what topic I had planned to do for my Senior Project; I then explained to her what I wanted to do and why. She had then referred me to Noah Nakielski (a recent graduate from iPoly) to find and ask his mother, if she could be my mentor, since she just happens to be a certified Nurse Midwife. Contacting Noah was not uncomfortable at all, we had taken a college course together at Citrus College and often spoke to each other at iPoly. 
• Once Noah had given me his mothers information, I contacted her right away. She had agreed willingly and was very nice about it. We soon set up a meeting together to discuss future plans of my mentorship. I guess you can say, I was lucky!

2. What has been your most important article you have read so far and why? 

• I would say that the most important article I have read so far is, "Lesson 5: Special Situations in Labor and Delivery" written by the Medical Education Division, Bookside Associates, Ltd., because this article provides me with important and detailed information, along with pictures, definitions, conditions, responses, nursing interventions, and the delivery of the labor situation(s).
