My Working Life

Hi everybody!!!

In the blogs this week, I´m going to talk about some of the jobs that I worked in my life.
The first job of my life was birthday entertainer, at age 16, I worked on this because one day being in the square I saw an ad that said they needed a birthday clown to encourage young children, then a friend went to see that it was. We loved it and began to work on that. This work consisted of going to different children’s birthday clown dressed, doll or princess and makes games, sing songs and paint the faces. This work was very fun, we amused ourselves doing it. I worked on this about a year and a half.
My second job was at age 18 as a telephone interviewer in a call center, this work consisted surveys every week, at a group of specific persons, associated with various public services. This work was very methodical, and that was to make the questions to people and noting their responses, it wasn´t so stressful, but sometimes I got tired of talking so much jajaja.
Finally in the summers of 2009 and 2010 worked as a salesman in the Paris shop in La Serena, worked from Monday to Friday during the afternoon. This work despite being too hard, it was really fun, I became very good friends with whom I talked and laughed during the whole shift and sometimes after work we were going to have fun in the urban centers.

These are the jobs I worked during my life, really all have been a great experience that made me grow as a person and helped me to become independent.

My pastime and my vacation

Hi everybody!!!
The topic of this blogs is: My pastime and my vacation. Usually in my pastime I read magazines and my favorite books, listen to music, sleep and watch my favorite shows on TV. Further, I like to share with my family and enjoy nature with they.
I like going shopping or going at the cinema at see one film about adventure or action.
The most fun is when I go on vacation with my family, especially with my cousins at La Serena. We entertain a lot doing various activities such as playing cards, dancing, going out at night, visited many places, such as beaches, museum, handcraft fair, and many places very very wonderful.
The that most I like is the Elqui Valley, which is a beautiful place, full of trees, parks, lakes. The last time I went to La Serena, I went to the Elqui Valley with some friends and I remember that we went to a camping that had a lake, where we bathed for long periods and the water was exquisite, in these places you can enjoy with your friends and family outdoors, you can play ball, to roast and relax.

Another place that I like from the same region, where I go on vacation is the beach Totoralillo, this beach has large waves, you can see people surfing, you can play to pallets, visit a handcraft fair that is put in place , walking along the beach, watch the sunset and so many fun activities. In summer, this beach is full of people, many Argentine go to this beach, but it's nice to go to this place to spend a great day.

The fourth region has nice places to visit and relax, I recommend you go,you will not regret.

Education and prevention

The midwife has an important task in counseling and education for health, not only for women but also within their families and community. The prevention is very important in my field because it´s we can take appropriate protective measures, the promotion of normal birth, the detection of complications in the mother and child, access to health care or other appropriate assistance and implementation of emergency measures Five different ways that may help educated individuals, families and community are:
1. Educate individuals about their sex life, for example education on condom use to avoid unwanted pregnancies that can lead to abortions.
2. Educate at the women about of the pregnancy process, cares and important indication for this period. And educate at the pregnant women about possible complications of pregnancy.
3. Advice couples during pregnancy, childbirth and puerperium. Indicate the importance of assistance of man at the controls.
4. Educate the community about sexual and reproductive health and educate the community you want to have children on how to prepare for paternity and childcare.
5. Teach at the parents for that they educate at your children about this topics.
Also to prevent midwives can realize various activities to promote prevention such as delivery of educational tryptic in policlinic, realitation of educational talks to pregnant women or talks of sexual reproduction interested young, among others.
Also, it is important that educating people, we explain with simple words, to understand clearly what we teach. It is also important to ask if they are questions about what is taught, to make sure they really learned.

Gender roles in health care

I had never thought of this subject, but I've always had the idea that both women and men have the same rights. And the race to consider depends on your calling, for example if a man studies Obstetrics and Genecology is because he likes the area and wants to develop it.
As for the benefits I think both men and women, studying the same career bring the same benefits. What is generally said, in a particular way in our profession that would be a problem for men than women prefer to be Midwives, instead of Midwives, noting that this occurs only in some cases.
Historically, the problem of gender in different areas was more pronounced today due society has changed its thinking. From my point of view, gender is not a big problem in our career, and I think that all depends on the way people think. That is why I consider that gender issues among health workers in other countries will be heavily influenced by the thinking of persons belonging to that country.

My future as a midwife

Once I finish my studies I intend to specialize in neonatology, because as I said before I love the idea of caring of children, and make this dream true would be a great achievement in my career. After this I would like to work in the public and private sector to deliver the service in the neonatal unit, I have to work to improve the quality of life for newborns is something so beautiful as I am eager to contribute my grain of sand.
Another of my projects is that after finishing my career, I would love the opportunity to go to another region to work for mothers and babies, in a region where it is needed more attention from a midwife or neonatologist.
Each year, graduating health professionals is a great contribution in improving the quality of life of people and I think especially after finishing my studies would be providing care for women and babies especially. I think I would contribute my grain of sand in one of the most important stages in a woman, as is being a mother and I love the idea of assisting further in the care of children, as this is my passion.

My future Profession

I always liked the idea of studying a career in the field of Health, since I love the idea of helping people to heal their ailments, but I especially liked the idea of becoming a pediatrician because I wanted to address the problems affecting children. But unfortunately the score I got in PSU did not allow me to study medicine. At first, I felt sorry for not being able to realize my dream, but talking with two friends who graduated as a midwives last year, from this university, they talked me about this career and they recommended it to me, saying that it is very a nice career and relating a lot on the care of children and women.
Therefore, I really liked it and started to find out more about this career, so over time I liked it more and more, besides seeing that all my interests could be integrated: helping people care, childcare and women. I love the idea of being able to see children born and the joy of women to become a mother. The more I investigated, the more I am excited to go to study midwifery.
By entering this career studying and talking about subjects such as embryology, which it is the baby developing inside the mother's tripe, seeing how wonderful it is to develop and know that in the future I will live with me excited and many mothers makes me fall in love more of this beautiful profession.
Finally, I believe that study Obstetrics was a very good decision.

Career related website

I frequently visit the website www.nacersano.org, because it is very related with my career.
This site is divided into sections that can help to guide us to lead a healthy pregnancy, emphasaizing in the preconception, and it develops topics such as: orientation before pregnancy and information about the feeding for pregnancy women. Also this site gives us information of the pregnancy itself and the baby, including topics such as: complications during pregnancy, delivery, about the newborn and a guide for the father.
Other section reports about the premature birth and gives information about this and what happens in a Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. Also in one its sides are giving us more information about the safety of babies, there is also a link where women can share their stories and also there is another link where you can view the site in English.
I visit this site often, twice or three times per week, and I like it a lot, and that in the gathering important information I can include it in my future work and it helps me to grow as a professional in the future: because I learn facts and information which I will use it to teach my users about the care they should have during pregnancy so that your baby is born healthy.
I recommend this website to my friends, especially my future colleagues to inform themselves about important issues in our development as professionals.
