My ideal job


Hello everyone! Today I will talk about my ideal job

Well, once finished my career as a midwife, I want to work in the Hospital's Penaflor or Talgante Hospital.
One reason I like working in this hospitals is because they are close to my home and also because they are very nice. Both belong to the public health care system, which is where I want to develop as a professional.

I would like to work in childbirth. If so would have important resposalibilidades such as teaching to the expectant mother throughout this process and the first care that be given to your baby.
Regarding the schedule, I would like to work in comfortable times, the truth is that I never liked the theme shifts.
I would like to work from Monday to Friday, to rest over the weekend and share with my family.

These hospitals are very nice and attends for people who come from different localities as "Isla de Maipo", "El Monte", "The Paico" etc.
Most of these people live in the countryside, therefore are much more tender and loving. What generates these hospitals maintain a friendly atmosphere between all its component . This is the biggest motivation for wanting to work in these hospitals, which makes my ideal job.

The magician and the trapeze artist :)

Long ago, there was a sweet love story that developed in a beautiful place. This place was located between two high mountains and between many many trees. It was a small town where the people were very loving and preocuapada each other.
This town was called "bubbles of color" and here lived a well-known magician who was responsible to entertain and brighten every day to different people who inhabited this place.
But people did not know anything more of the magician, if had family, if he lived alone or something else of his personal life.

The truth is he was a very lonely man because he had a mission, he wanted to find the woman of his dreams, which so far had not met.

A sunny day, came to town a famous circus. Everyone went to the first presentation, including the magician.
Everyone was amazed and excited for another presentation. However, the magician was totally shocked with the beauty of one women trapeze artist.

The Magician she realized she was the woman who had sought all his life and was behind it. When they met she looked into his eyes and then went.
Days passed and she could not stop thinking about the magician and decided to leave in search of him.
Until one day, next to the turquoise lagoon met, held hands and realized they were completely in love. From that day began a beautiful love story, in which up to this day the villagers "bubbles of color " remembered as the most beautiful they have seen.

Education and Prevention





Hello everybody!

Today I will comment on the importance of education and prevention in health and specifically in my profession.
From my point of view I think that education is closely related to the prevention, so if people get a good education will be able to prevent and lessen the various factors that cause disease, thus improving their quality of life.

According to education I think you should investigate in what most affects the population to perform a focused education. For example, Chile has a high rate of sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) and that over time has been increasing. This is why we must take important steps in education and prevention. These measures should be aimed at people who are at risk for STDs, and more emphasis on the younger population.
This education must address topics like the use of condoms, the only sexual partner and any consequences that may bring the ETS. If eduacion is well made and directed, I am sure that these high rates of STDs would have a decrease.
Considering the prevention, I believe that our country is well done, as in clinics and hospitals are given condoms to the population and there sexuality courses where people can go for education.

It is important that as future health professionals we take into account this issue, as it is very important to educate moms on how to make proper care for their babies to avoid possible complications in the future.

Gender role in health


Hello! Today I will talk about gender role in health care!

Well, from my point of view I feel that my country has had a thought male chauvinist for a long time. Honestly I've never agreed with that.
In my opinion there should be equality between men and women, which currently does not occur.
Within the field of health, is clearly identified. For example, in the career of Medicine of the University of Chile there are many more men than women, and obstetrics of almost one hundred students, only ten are men, all the rest are pretty girls jajajaja :)

From my point of view, I feel that the gender difference is not relevant to the quality of professionals. which is why both genders should have equal responsibilities and should also have the same salaries. Clearly in our country that does not happen, especially in other jobs. The truth is that I have enough information of what happens with the salaries of health professionals, but I honestly do not think it's different.
according to the type of patients, I think there is a difference. For example something that happens in our professional performance.

Women are much more sensitive than men, this leads to in the most important moments of his life, including pregnancy and delivery, prefer to have next to professionals who are female gender, as it will feel more accompanied and comfortable. Is that moment is where our work as a midwife is very important to them and we must do our best.

Well, it's all for today
Take care
