CTE Internship 5th

Reflection Essay

Throughout the semester long course of the CTE Internship class I have learned a variety

of new things that push me along the path to my post secondary education. I have learned

professionalism, ethics, and interview etiquette. We learned how to properly conduct ourselves in

the workplace in dress, eye contact, and communication. My internship site was at Banner

Health Boswell, there I was placed as a volunteer on the nursing floors. On the nursing floors I

was made aware of all the codes, like, code blue, code red, code grey, code pink, etc., which was

very exciting to learn. I was also able to observe the different medical careers in the hospital

which was very insightful in determining my career path. Personally, I want to be a pharmacist

but it was very interesting to see the different careers available to me in the medical field. I also

learned some aspects of patient care, although I was primarily stocking shelves for patient’s

personal care and assisting the secretary in whatever errands she may need. I learned proper

composure and how to greet visitors and other employees around the hospital. One time I even

witnessed a code blue and was able to apply the routines I had learn to properly react to the

situation. I also met a variety of new people that could be useful connections as I progress to my

post secondary education. All in all the CTE internship class has been very useful to me in real

life and post secondary readiness. I now know how to apply professionalism, ethics, and

etiquette to the work place.
