ESSAY: “MY EXPERIENCE LEARNING INGLISH”

Today, speaking English is essential. English is the universal language and people around the world are striving to learn. Moreover, this is a very important aspect of health professionals, because many scientific paper are written in this language, health professionals attending conferences in other countries also exchanged ideas and knowledge with people of different cultures and nationality, so it is important to learn English today. In addition, hospital managers will always prefer a bilingual person for appointment to a job title. It is even important in the care of people in hospitals, they may go outsiders and it is vital that health professionals can communicate with them to help them.
In my experience, the English language has always been hard for me. The truth is that my experience with English before entering the University (in school) was not very good. My English teacher was always sick, so not really learned much English. Do not enter the university with a good base of English, which affected my performance a lot throughout this course.
With respect to courses of English, has been my experience too complicated. It was very difficult to adapt to the pace of instruction. Early in the second tier of English (Begin) was eager to learn and I was saying to myself: "Now you can really learn English." I tried hard to get ahead, but a time came that I was very tired.
The same happened with the following English courses. The problem was that the English course was very late and after leaving I had to study, came very late to my house.
There was also positive. The truth is that English speaking end of the course, this would be impossible, but if I learned. I acquired new knowledge, what is progress and it is very important to me. Now, I'm finishing my English course at university, only missing the final exam, which I hope to do well for completion.
Finally, I would like to reinforce the importance of English in our time and encourage every person reading this blog to learn the English language and they will be very useful in your life in the not too distant future. In addition, we are surrounded by schools that offer learning the language, and there are even online programs for people with a busy life. And finally, tell them to learn English is not something that happens quickly because it is a process that takes years.
Good luck

My Faculty

Hi everyone! Today I`m going to talk about my Faculty. It is a very old building, so I think that important changes need to be done. The infrastructure is so nice, how I said before, it's a very old Faculty and I think than maybe it could be more modern, but laboratories and auditoriums are very good and they don't interfere with learning. My faculty has very beautiful green areas, and I think it is very important because we can relax and forget for a while of books, study, big tests, etc. And there is a special place where you can party with your friends and have a nice time called Plaza Blest.
Another aspect that I consider in my faculty is the computer`s presence in the library, it help to the people than don`t have a computer in their house or haven´t internet. For example, at this moment I´m writing in one. Computers in library were very slow, but now are so fast because the University buy new computers this year.
In my faculty there is a feature than contrast with others faculties, and it is the dogs in the faculty, it is full of dogs, who walk and live with us in harmony, and I greet them and caress them, they are very beautiful and full of love for all the faculty!.

Well, that´s all for this time, I hope it has liked to everyone and wait follow reading you, I´m going to study now because I have a test in my Faculty.

Test could warn women of early menopause

Hi everyone! How are you? I hope you are good. Today I will talk about an article that I read on the web. I read it on the website “the guardian”. The title of the article is “test could warn women of early menopause”. This is a very interesting and new issue. Article talks about the creation of a genetic test that would be good in cases in which women delay childbearing and then they want to have children and can not conceive. I think that it is a very good tool so that women can have an idea about when menopause will occur, and to plan the best time to conceive. The early menopause (menopausal women before the age of 35) is a problem that affect considerable the living arrangements of women and their partner.
Also, in today's world women are more independent and choose to study, work, travel, buying a home, enjoying life with partner, consolidated and then they think of having a child.
The article states that there are at least four genes involved in the onset of early menopause. This test is based on a genetic analysis using a blood test.
The postponement of motherhood is an important and increasingly our country. Moreover, as it relates to the reproduction of women, this is related to our future professional work as midwives
It is our duty to control the reproductive health of women and educate her about the consequences that entails conceiving a child later in life.
I believe that this is a great advance in science (though still remaining to be explored in it) may have positive effects both in the field of medicine and reproductive health as a social and psychological levels among women in our society today.
Well, finally I invite you to read this interesting article at link:http://www.guardian.co.uk/society/2010/oct/18/test-women-early-menopause
I hope you like it.

Kisses!

DEALING WITH STRESS

Hi classmates! So long! I hope you are good. Well, today I will talk you about an important issue of the actual world, this is the stress, and more specifically I will talk about the dealing with stress.
According to the dictionary the stress is a physiological reaction of the body (defence mechanism) to a situation threatening or increased demand.
Stress is very common in the Chilean people. Everyday we are subjected to different stress situation and this is reflected in the way of performing in the life. Also, stress can affect our health, causing serious health problems. Stress produce biological symptoms (tachycardia, sweating, tremors, insomnia, etc.), psychological (anxiety, excessive concern , etc..) and behavioral (nervous laugh, teeth grinding, tics, etc). But this doesn’t mean that every person who has a problem will suffer stress. This depends of each person, because all face the problems differently.
There are many causes of stress. A person can have it because an illness as it affects the person emotionally; or due of poor interpersonal relation in everyday life; or be generated for frustrating conditions of work or study (for example: excessive demand or competition, monotony, inconsistent standards, career dissatisfactions, etc) and environmental conditions (environment) may also be a cause of stress.
A great example of stress is mine and many fellow students because of the workload, time and emotional due to study at the university.
But there are different ways or methods to address the problem of stress. There are stress management techniques: massages, leisure activities, relaxation exercises, opt for alternative medicine such as yoga, etc.
Well this is all for today. See you soon…
Kisses.

My blog experience

Hello classmates! This is the last blog, so today I will write about my experience during the session’s blog.
Before the first session blog, the truth is that I was afraid. I thought it was very difficult to talk about a topic in English, but after making the blog so I concluded that it is not very difficult to perform, it can even be entertaining.
Really, some days did not feel like to do but the truth is that I surprised myself. I thought my blog would have a lot of mistakes. However, sometimes the corrections carried out by the teacher of English were minimal.
I know I am not an expert speaking or writing in English and I think I'm still far from it, but I think the blog sessions have been very enriching for me. Maybe not able to communicate fluently in English but has been useful in some way.
In general, the topics of the blogs were very interesting, as well as I could express how much I love midwifery and my desire to serve the community.
In addition it has been interesting to know the views of my classmates deal with various issues.
I had more difficulty developing some blog and not others, but the difference was minimal.
A recurring mistake was that I was wrong in the order of words.
In conclusion, the blogs were a good tool to try to think in English and able to develop properly the text on the theme. In addition, these gave me space to develop my ideas and points of life in a foreign language: English.
Well, this is all…
Rest this weekend
Good bye everyone.
Kisses!

My ideal job

Hi all again! How are you? I hope you are good. This day I will talk about how I imagine my dream job as a midwife in the future. This is present in everyday because this is an incentive or motivation to work hard every day to be better and I become the best midwife and work on what I like. Well, my dream is to work in the areas of obstetrics and neonatology. I'm not sure yet, but so far I am inclined to neonatology.
I love the babies. I feel the call to dedicate my life to his care either before birth (antepartum), at the time of delivery or after birth. I imagine working for a while in the immediate newborn care and after in neonatal ICU.
My ideal job is within of the public system because I think that people who are seen in these hospitals are most lacking in good health care in society and therefore a real need to cover the requirements of this sector of the population.
Really, I don’t dream with having a great position or titles but with the recognition of the people I attend in the sense that they can trust in my work as a midwife. I want to be responsible for each of the women and newborns I attend and they notice it.
Respect to the time of an ideal job for me, the only thing I care about is to always have time for people I love.
Well, this is all for today. I hope you have a nice next weekend.
Kisses!

My love story

Hi all!! I hope you are well. Blog of today talks about an issues very relevant in my life. I will tell you about my love story.
Well, many of you know who is my boyfriend, his name Ernesto and also studied midwifery.
It all started in March last year, when we first spoke. This was the day of “mechoneo” or welcome new students of midwifery.
I don’t remember when the first time I saw him was, but he saw me long before talk to me. From what he tells me, I always liked him… from the first moment.
Our first conversation was very long and interesting. He wanted to meet again with me and me too with him.
The first kiss was a while later, this was the March 18 and from there we are not separated ever. Except for one occasion when I decided not to pursue the relationship, but then everything was fixed. Even he was not my boyfriend. Perhaps this is not very common, but I asked if I wanted to be. This was a day May 28 and he said yes.
From the beginning we got along very well, we had fun, we talked, and we supported on each item, and this is so far. He is the best boyfriend in the world, the most loving, the most attentive ... I am very happy with it… I love him.
Well classmates, this is all for today. I see you at the next blog.
Kisses!

Education and prevention in midwifery

Hi everyone! This day I will talk about a very important issue in my future career us a midwife and also it is relevant in the area of general health. I think every professional must know and apply this theme to provide a complete service to the community. The issue to which I refer is the education and health prevention.
In my area there are many areas of the education and prevention. The midwife focuses his attention on the different stages of life of women and the newborn, but as this is not worth by itself is done through education of his mother.
There are different areas of education in midwifery, some of them are sex education, contraception, STDs, HIV, sexual rights, relaxation techniques ante partum, newborn care and more.
Education also gives the midwife does not necessarily directed only at women, but may include your partner or someone close.
From my point of view prevention will always be better or easier than cure. Through prevention we can avoid presenting a series of unwanted situations for the patient and her family.
The prevention is achieved through education; this is the fundamental tool for progress in the community. For example, if we are to prevent the emergence of STDs (sexually transmitted diseases), we must educate about condom use in relation how you use and what its importance.
Education is always addressed to a specific group of people who need to receive education about a particular topic. In addition, in each control with the midwife, she gives a set of indications for their care, that is education is carried out continuously.
Currently we have several educational programs that target women at different stages of life, an example is the famous show “Chile Crece Contigo”.
I hope I have contributed something with the blog today. I would like to repeat the relevance of that now we are aware about the importance of education and prevention to provide a fully integral attention our future patients.
Hugs!

Gender Role in Health Care

Hi classmates! I hope you are great. I am a bad cold.
Well, referring to today’s topic… today I will talk about the Gender Role in Health Care. This is a subject very controversial and interesting because the gender differences. Specifically, I will discuss about the role of gender in my career in midwifery.
Since the inception of the profession of midwifery, women have fulfilled this role. Formerly, the man couldn’t even be present at the birth of his soon but were the midwives who were in charge of attending the birth of his wife.
Today this situation has changed because both women and men may choose to study midwifery.
Although the number of women midwives are considerably larger than the number of men engaged in this area.
Women born with the maternal effect, with the sense of caring for a newborn or even know what is going through that process because they were mothers. Instead, obviously the men didn’t, but this has its advantages because I think this makes them much more careful with patient.
Jobs in general there are differences between sex and this weighted against women specially in their condition us such because they are mother or can be. The thinking is that employers lose money to hire them since they become pregnant and are absent from job for a long time, and this period can not legally be fired.
In the case of health professionals, I think it shows good performance of women.
In my career both (man and woman) accomplish exactly the same role. Health centers in some patient prefer to be served by women because it gives them more confidence, and other patient prefers men because they said they treat them with more affection.
Well, this is all for today and the message I give is that we are all equal and should have the same treatment and rights.
A hug!

My future as a midwife

Hi all again! I hope you had a good week so far… Well, today I will travel in time. I will talk about how I imagine my future as a midwife…
I always think of this and it is my motivation to study hard every day.
I would like to become the best midwife but I do not mean to be recognized by institutions or the like (which would not be bad) but to give the best care.
I love the babies, they are the future of our society and I think they need the best care at the time to birth. The newborn is wonderful human being but at the same time very fragile… I feel the call to dedicate my life to his care. I will work in the area of neonatology. I imagine working for a while in the immediate newborn care. After this, I dream working in neonatal high-risk area namely neonatal ICU. This is my big dream. In addition I have to mention that under no circumstances stop working in the public system although someone offer me more money in a private institution. This is because I think that in public hospitals are serving people who are in risk in our society and they need a better quality of care and to competent professional and with vocation… I have a great calling for this. I will fight to bring up each of the babies al risk.
Well, this is how I see my future…I hope you are not boring.
Bye!

Obstetrics physiological

Hi all! Today I will talk about a very interesting subject of my career in midwifery.
My career has several interesting classes, but so far my favourite subject is obstetrics physiological. This is a subject this semester. I think it’s very entertaining. I go to each of her classes and seminars or workshops with great pleasure and willingness to learn new things. It is also a very important area in my future work as professional because it addresses issues such as the development of the fetus and mother during pregnancy and obstetrical control that we make in this important period. All such content is very relevant to my future professional because these are the basis for adequate passive case-finding of biological, psychological or social problems during pregnancy and thus provide comprehensive care to the mother and her unborn child.
The most interesting contents of the obstetrics physiological is like the mother adapts to the growth and the requirements of the fetus. This is very interesting for me because I think it’s wonderful that the body and the functions of the various systems of the mother undergo changes because not only has to ensure their survival, but now must be in possession of survival of another human being growing inside her.
The most difficult of this subject is to learn each of the changes and relate to one another but worth the effort to understand them because it is necessary to apply it in future.
The truth is that I have good grades but I will continue working to improve and become a midwife.
Well guys, that's all for today and I see you in a next blog.
Bye!

Chilean Institute of Reproductive Medicine

The web opens up a very world in which we can find the topic you can think of, one of them is related to Midwifery. In this area, my favourite website is the Chilean Institute of Reproductive Medicine (ICMER).
ICMER is a non-profit foundation. This is an interesting site which has the mission to procure a better knowledge of the factors that have an incidence on sexual and reproductive health, and human reproduction; and to apply said knowledge to improve people’s health and welfare.
I very often visit this website. I am really fan of this. Whenever I can I get on this website because I am passionate about the issues of my career.
I think the website is very relevant topics of the life of the woman and her partner in an objective manner, taking into account individual needs for knowledge, is able to answer common questions that people have.
ICMER website has a cover where you can see different icons that lead to more specific topics such as "emergency contraception" and "lactation". Furthermore, it has a bond about information materials on various topics of interest in society.
Really, it is a very entertaining and I invite you to visit. This is the link: http://www.icmer.org/

Myself

Hi, welcome to my blog! My name is Loreto. I have nineteen years old. I live in Maipú. I live with my parents, my sister and my brother. Ups! I forgot someone: my dog Renata. I enter the University of Chile the past year. I study midwifery. I really love this profession. I feel full with this. I have the spirit to help people. My dream is to exercise my profession and I want to become the best midwife. I especially want to take care of newborns.

In relation to the past earthquake, I was at the beach house with my family. I was sleeping and I jump out of bed when it started, but my biggest fear did not know how the people I love were, later I felt lucky because they were fun.

The earthquake increased my desire to help people, of different ways. I will work for a good health system for the women and their babies.
