Tara Templeton

2. • My name is Tara Templeton. My major is radiology technician. It is my goal to
obtain my associates at Grayson then later transfer to South Eastern to achieve my
bachelors in radiology. I want to one day help own and operate a radiology center
for those that can not afford to see specialist.

3. • The metacognition worksheet was one of my favorite. It explained the blooms
taxonomy and stage theory. With it I have made a developed in my studying.
• The letter to the next class was also eye opening in the relevance of what I learned.
It helped me put into what I had learned.
• The scavenger hunt was fun. It helped me learn what grayson had to offer. As well
as providing me a guide of college success at grayson.

4. • Journal entry 8 was one of my favorites because it exposed and broke down my
inner critic and guide. It opened how hard we pressure ourselves and how much we
expect out of ourselves. The amount of criticism I gave myself has gone from mainly
negative to more positive.
• Journal entry 13 also opened my eyes in the quadrants. It made me realize where I
spent my time and whether or not it was wise. I have made my own quadrant to
maintain time on reasonable task .
• Journal entry 17 made me review choices of my support system. This journal actually
came kind of difficult not to use the same person. So I have definitely opened up my
support system to a few friends to count on in times of need.

7. • My Holland Code is SIE (Social, 27, Investigative, 23, Enterprising, 17)
• Some task I might find as nurse informatics specialist performing:, policy writing, , project
management, choose appropriate systems, optimizing systems, educate, train and provide
support systems users, and system maintenance At a minimum, I’ll need a Bachelor of Science
in Nursing degree resulting in a registered nurse license. However, some nurse informatics
specialists have earned master’s degrees in informatics I need to consider the level of degrees I
need to stay competitive. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics 2016-17 Occupational
Outlook Handbook, the median annual salary for clinical informatics coordinators, as part of the
larger group of computer systems analysts, is $82,710. Actual salaries may vary greatly based on
specialization within the field, location, years of experience and a variety of other factors. As
technology evolves, there is a growing need for nursing informatics specialists. Factors like
location, education and additional certification will play a role in your potential to earn more
money. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) Occupational Outlook Handbook, 2016-17
expects job growth for computer systems analysts in the health care field because of the jump
in e-prescribing, electronic medical records and health care information technology. With
growth expected, a nurse informatics specialist could have a leg up on computer systems
analysts because of their nursing background. Nursing informatics is still a fairly new field, but
as technology permeates so many parts of the health care industry, more information systems
experts will be necessary. Going further in your career often means earning an advanced
degree. If you already have a bachelor’s degree, it may be time to think about enrolling in a
Master of Science in Health Care Informatics program. Experience is the other way to move up.
Many nurse informatics specialists spend a decade or more working in a clinical setting or
directly with patients in medical or surgical settings.

8. • The three people pictured complete my
life. My parents have always been my

arrived in my life. I would not have the

person I am now and to continue to
grow into.
