According to the California Health Care Foundation, there is a shortage of entry-level healthcare workers in California, and residents in Victor Valley will have improved access to post-secondary healthcare education as Universal Schools & Colleges of Health & Human Services (U. S. Colleges) announced the opening of a Healthcare Training Campus in Victorville. The new 5,000 square-foot location at 7th Street and La Paz Drive (14594 7th St. , Victorville, CA 92395) will be the sixth campus for U. S. Colleges, which has been educating students throughout Southern California for over 20 years. The new Victorville campus is now enrolling and will open with the first cohort of students starting on April 25, 2022. U. S.

Immediately following the birth, her infant son wasn’t breathing. The medical team quickly sprang into action, Edith said, performing CPR and providing oxygen. Thankfully, her son eventually began breathing on his own. Bearing witness to the entire scene left a lasting impression in Edith. “From that experience, I really learned to appreciate the nurses, especially the labor and delivery nurse,” she said. “I thank God she was there. If it wasn’t for her, my son wouldn’t be here. ” Edith said she had already been considering a career in the medical field, but this experience solidified her vision. Not only did she want a job related to nursing, but she wanted to be in a position to help people and their families when they’re at their most vulnerable – just as the birthing team did for her and her son. “The comfort offered – not just her but the whole team – they make you feel secure and safe,” she said. “They make you feel like they’re there for you. For me, that was very important, and I wanted to be that person for other families, as well. ” This desire led her to U. S. Colleges in Montclair (CA), where Edith recently earned her certificate from the Clinical Medical Assistant (CMA) program. U. S.

While she was a senior in high school, Maripaz Aguirre’s dentist discovered what turned out to be a benign tumor growing on her jaw. This led to a series of medical procedures and complications that, to Maripaz, seemed anything but benign. After the tumor was initially removed, it grew back within a month. Further surgeries were performed requiring bone grafts from her rib and eventually her hip, many of which failed. In total, the tumor has led to eight surgeries (including biopsies) and three major infections. “It was like every month,” Maripaz recalls. “I’d have surgery, everything was good, and in less than a month I’d be back in the hospital. It was my senior year, and I missed prom, graduation night ... so many activities. ” And, while she struggled through this journey both physically and emotionally, it helped Maripaz solidify one important decision about her future: that after high school, she wanted to work in the medical field. She started that journey just three months after graduating high school by enrolling in the Medical Assistant Program at U. S. Colleges in Montcair, CA (Healthcare Training Campus). She graduated just a few months later, during the spring of 2020. “I had already wanted to go into the medical field. I always said I wanted to be an OB-GYN,” Maripaz said. “Seeing the nurses that helped me -- the work they did and the care and detail they put into it -- really helped me to know this is the... --- - Published: 2021-02-01 - Modified: 2023-05-23 - URL: https://www.uscmed.com/blog/san-diego-campus-wins-contest-makes-500-donation-to-boys-girls-club/ - Categories: San Diego, Press Release U.S. Colleges hosted a social media contest and the San Diego campus took first place, winning a $500 donation to the Boys & Girls Club of Greater San Diego. U. S. Colleges hosted a social media contest in December, challenging students at all five California locations to see who could raise the most awareness for their local Boys and Girls Club. To win the contest, students in the class had to share a post on social media and generate the most likes and shares. The San Diego Healthcare Training Campus took first place, winning a $500 donation to the Boys & Girls Club of Greater San Diego. “I am proud of our San Diego students for their efforts to support such a worthy organization,” said Curtiss Speller, Director of Admissions at U. S. Colleges San Diego. “We hope this donation will help them support their staff and kids during these tough times. ” “The Boys & Girls Club is proud to partner with U. S. Colleges to Change Lives for San Diego Youth. The donation granted to us by the students will help ensure that the children who need us most are able to access our services. Currently, the Boys & Girls Club is open 10 hours daily to provide assistance with distance learning and enable parents to continue working while school districts remain closed,” said Kira Foody, Vice President of Development. “U.

He takes the position of Instructor to a level beyond.. said EMT Program Director Jack Goodwin. “When you have a pediatric patient, it’s important to get down to their eye level because, more than likely, they are scared by the situation at hand,” said EMT Training Program instructor Tony Amparan as he crouched down in front of students seated in the classroom. “If you are a child and I am down at your eye level, it is less intimidating. In order to treat them, you’ll need to calm them down if they are scared. Don’t talk down to them – get down to their level. ” “It goes back to what I’ve been saying since day one: to be a good EMT you have to empathize with what people are going through when you arrive on the call. Whether it’s a child or adult, do whatever you can to help put them at ease in the situation so that you can do your job,” he added. You won’t find that particular lesson in any of the EMT training materials, but it’s a life lesson that Amparan has learned through his 11 years of experience as an EMT and firefighter. Amparan says his goal is to ensure that students are good EMTs when they finish the program and he has a wealth of experience to share. Amparan, a West Covina native, joined the U. S. Navy Reserves at age 18 and pursued training as a Medical Corpsman – now in his 13th year of service. He also works full-time as a federal firefighter for the U.

The educational background and... Job seeking individuals need to be prepared to impress their future employers as early as the first meeting. The educational background and work experience of an individual is significantly important to an employer while considering a candidate; however, there are other very important skills that interviewers seek in their ideal candidate. Most employers state that they look for significant skills in a job candidate besides qualifications and experience. These intangible skills give employers a strong look at the character and passion behind a person. Ultimately it tells the employer how a person works with others, how they are driven, and how they are going to work out at the company. There is no standard quantitative way to measure intangible skills as they are different for each person and how they are perceived. Over a matter of years, certain intangible skills have earned significant importance in the eyes of interviewers. The employers consider these intangible skills to be a vital determination in the demeanor and attitude of a candidate, evaluating if they would be the perfect fit for the job vacancy. All of these traits can be learned and they're something our career services team members have years of industry experience teaching in. For individuals seeking to make a lasting impression on future employers, it is important to make these skills a high priority: ADAPTABILITY Candidates who portray a personality that showcases great adaptability skills are considered ideal by interviewers.
