Have I told you how much I love having you in this class?!? It is awesome having such a great group of students to start a new adventure with. No matter how organized (or unorganized) I am, you are fantastic and patient...perfect qualities for future health care workers!
Today you will be investigating a few health care careers! Remember...you will get a lot out of assignments like this if you put the effort in to RESEARCH and LEARN! This is about YOUR future!
1. You will choose TWO health
care careers (you can do a third one for a little extra credit Thanksgiving gift!) of interest to you and research using a variety of
websites to learn about the job description, education, wages, working
environment, and job outlook of each. After reflecting
on what you have learned about each career, you will write a reflection
paragraph describing whether or not this career is a match for you.
Please give this portion of the assignment a great deal of thought and
compose a detailed, reflective paragraph of no less than 6 sentences.
2. To complete the assignment, open the template below and save it as a
file to your computer. Provide information in complete sentences, double
space between topics, and start each of the three careers on a new
page. When finished you will save it with the following title (change my name to your name and the date should be correct) and email it to me :)
