The three organizations that I choose for this week's assignment are as follow:
1. Gaston County Health Department Parent Counseling Services - The position I would like to obtain would be as a Parent Counselor with the responsibilities of talking with new parents about the importance of early child development which helps children get a great start in education and how it also helps with early detection of any exceptionalities. I would also be responsible for guiding them to programs that would help them find great preschool programs for their children.
2. Childcare Resources Incorporated - The position of a Case Worker would intel helping parents find the resources to assist them in finding and affording quality childcare for their children. The person in this position would also be responsible for ensuring that once services have been granted that the children's attendance is consistent.
3. Department of Children's Health and Resources - The position of a Clinic Nurse is in charge of educating parents on the importance of vaccinations as well as administering vaccinations. Healthy children afford parents the opportunity to work outside of the home. I would also work with the mobile unit that will go out into the community to provide minor care to children.
Hi Berdetta,
ReplyDeleteI think that they all sound like very community minded organizations. What experiences or skills do you believe that you have that would help you in any of these positions?
I feel that it is very important for nurses to educate parents on immunization and taking their children to the doctor. We find a lot of parents that are not up to date on their shots. We also find a lot of parents that are very slow about taking their children to the doctor for regular checkups or when they are sick. This would be a very helpful resource to help parents that doesn't understand how important it is for children to get the medical attention that they need.
