    I'm Morgan Elzey and my mentorship was at Campbell Family Medicine, and I was able  to acquire many skills from them that will help me throughout my life. I gained more confidence in myself by talking to multiple people through this mentorship. I also gained the knowledge of how to run a doctor's office, and most importantly how to have a healthy doctor/patient relationship. The main thing that I learned that will help me with any is that communication is key, but it took me a while to get the hang of this one. Knowing this will help you go further, and understand things better by just simply being able to talk it out.
   Some actions that I personally took to get the most from my experiences was finishing every task that was asked of me to my best capability and further. Then, when I was finished with that certain task I would go back and ask "What's next" or "What else can I help with". This helped to show that I want to take initiative to help and my want to be there, and your mentor will surely notice this. It can even help you to get to do cooler things with your mentor, because they believe that you can handle it. Another thing that I did was just simply ask. Some things they did in the doctor's office I was able to watch, but I really wanted to get hands on and do it. I made sure that I asked at the right time, and my mentor was glad that I did. She then would explain to me how to do it, asked me if I had questions, and then let me do it myself. These to things are very simple to do, but can help you out a lot. I always like the saying, "It never hurts to ask," and that is really true.
   This mentorship has prepared me for the future in many ways. First, it helped me to gain confidence in myself, and that will help me with everything, especially in medicine. Secondly, it helped me to really be productive with my time to get stuff done. Lastly, it has taught me that I have made the right decision to go into the medical field and become a nurse practitioner. With this mentorship it has shown me that I do want to become a nurse practitioner in a doctor's office, but in a pediatric office. For the new HMP students the advice I want to give to you is to go into every experience with an open mind, and never be afraid to ask a question, because that is what your mentor is there for, to help you. Also, I want you to know that it is a great privilege and blessing to be in this program. I believe that you guys will do great and hopefully flourish wherever you mentor. Have a great year!

   During my Mentorship, and my research that I conducted, I was able to find evidence that helps to explain my essential question. Which is why are more medical students becoming Nurse Practitioners rather than Doctors. I quickly learned that there are many components and reasons to this accurance.  First off, Nurse Practitioners ,NPs, can do almost anything a Doctor can in the workplace, with some exceptions depending on the state. However, it is how they go about treating a patient that makes them different in the workplace. Doctors tend to see patients and treat patients as science, because that is how they were trained. While, NPs look at patients as a whole and addresses the needs of the patient on a personal level before addressing their needs on a scientific level. The main points of Doctors and NPs differences are their scope of practice, academic education/training, and responsibilities and salaries. I was blessed this year to be apart of the Honors Mentorship Program, and it helped me to confirm my want to become a Nurse Practitioner

   The information and tips from this video really helped me when I presented my research. It reminded me that I needed to know my research forward and backwards before I presented it. Also, the mood of the video really keep me interested in it and I paid a lot more attention. It also helped me to be more calm about presenting my relevent presentation. I presented my research to a 7th grade level Science/Health Care class at Otwell MIddle School. The stedents seemed to really absorbed the inforamtion I was telling them, and then at the end I was able to fully answer the questions they asked me. I was able to do this, becuase this video told me to learn your research forward and backward. I'm going to put in a link to my relevent presentation at the bottom of this post for ya'll.

Annotated Bibliograpgy

1. Julie Fairman, Making Room in the Clinic: Nurse Practitioners and the Evolution of Modern Health Care, New Brunswick, NJ: Rutgers University Press, 2008.

2.  This article is by Julie Fairman, and it addresses how Nurse Practitioners are going to become dominate in primary care. It also talks about how Nurse Practitioners provide high quality, but cheaper health care. At the beginning of this article Fairman has a paragraph explaining who a Nurse Practitioner is and what it is that they do in health care.

3.

• "Today, many Americans use Nurse Practitioners (NPs) for much of their health care needs and NPs are now fully accepted by both health care consumers and most other care providers as a critical component of a modern health care system."
• "As reports of these experiments were published, the number of programs for nurse practitioners grew rapidly, supported in part by federal funding through the Nurse Training Acts in the next two decades, and through the largesse of private foundations which supported new types of service models and training programs."
• "Today, NPs have proven their effectiveness in delivering high quality lower cost health care services. Health care consumers, recognizing the value of good service flock to NPs for numerous health care needs."

4. This article is very dependable, because it is an article from PENN Nursing Science. It also is from a dependable source, that works. Which is .edu, and this source is very valid. Much of this article is fact based, so it cannot be biased.

5. This article will help me provide research for my essential question. I will also use it to back up some of the answers I received when I conducted my interview.

Assignment #17

I am still working towards my essential question. I have decided to conduct another interview with the questions I asked with Allyson Cole, but With the questions being a little different and interview a doctor for the second interview. I want to see what a doctor thinks on why more medical students are becoming nurse practitioners rather than doctors. I believe this will help to provide answers for my essential question and help to show two sides of the medical field.

Annotated Bibliography Summary

   The source for my bibliography is Pawlyk, Oriana, "Nurse Practitioners to treat Vets without Doctor Supervision." 2016. This article contains information about how the VA passed a nationwide rule that all nurse practitioners that worked at VA hospitals now have the authority to work with patients without doctor supervision. They explain how they want the best care for the retired veterans coming to their hospital, without them having to wait very long for care. Also, now in 21 states and the District of Colombia nurse practitioners can already provide care without doctor supervision, but now with the rule from the VA every nurse practitioner that works with the VA in any state can work without doctor supervision.

     I will be able to use three quotes from this article. The first one says, "The Veterans Affairs Department beginning next month will allow certain nurse practitioners to treat veterans without the supervision of doctors across the agency for the first time." Another quotes that I will be able to use states this, "The regulatory change permits three types of nurse practitioners-- certified nurse practitioner (CNP), clinical nurse specialist (CSN), and certified nurse-midwife (CNM)--"to practice to the full extent of their education, training and certification, without the clinical supervision or mandatory collaboration of physicians, "in states"." The last quote that I am going to use says that, "While in 21 states and the District of Colombia already grant nurse practitioners so-called "full practiced authority," the rule marks the first time in the VA established a nationwide framework for such specialists to provide direct care to Vets throughout the system."

     This article was published on the website Military. com. With it coming from ".com" it could be potentially biased about the topic, but this article is based mainly on facts. The article is about the VA making better care for our countries retired soldiers. It is also credible, because it is based on real facts that are happening in the medical field happening right now. Also, because it is off the additional sources that were given to us. Which was http:/www.sweetsearch.com.

     I will potentially use this in my research for my essential question in my capstone project. It will help to drive my research, and back-up my essential question. Also, it will help me to work harder in my career knowing that nurse practitioners will hopefully soon be able to dominate primary care.
