    I am fortunate to have a career where scrubs are considered professional attire. Attached is a photo of myself in my old school uniform. That day after clinical I interviewed with a nursing supervisor and got my first job in the hospital. I still work on the same unit as a registered nurse now.<\/span><\/p>\n

    \"\"<\/p>\n

    Rationale: I chose this artifact because I enjoyed reflecting on my interview that started my working experience in the hospital. Ironically, out of all the interviews I’ve done I did the least self-enhancing behaviors during this interview. My now manager Bobbie is very approachable and we spent a good portion of the interview discussing what I wanted to do with my career. I told her that I felt like an imposter, that there was no way I could become an RN in the near future. She expressed that it is very common to feel like that when you first become a nurse. In a way I do feel more deserving of the job I got. I felt like I was very honest with her about my abilities and didn’t feel the need to highlight my strong attributes to overcompensate.\u00a0<\/p>\n

    Artifact #4<\/h2>\n

    \u201cI don\u2019t think opposites attract. I think like attracts like. So I don\u2019t think that they do attract, opposites. Only when you\u2019re talking about magnetic poles.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

    \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    -Ashton Kutcher <\/span><\/p>\n

    \"\"<\/p>\n

    Rationale: I chose this artifact because I had a lot of fun interviewing my family and friends while completing it. I was surprised at how many people immediately agreed, or denied the statements. My friend Caroline responded by saying that it really depends what aspect of a person you are looking at. I think that is very accurate. Sometimes you need a partner to “equal” you out. I tend to be more outgoing than my boyfriend, but on other aspects we are very compatible. I think certain fundamental things you should agree with your partner, like religion for example. Otherwise it can cause conflict.\u00a0<\/p>\n

    Artifact #3<\/h2>\n

    Trait 1: Kind<\/span><\/p>\n

    At work comforting a woman with a new diagnosis of cancer<\/span><\/p>\n

    Trait 2: Loud<\/span><\/p>\n

    Loud at a bar with my father and boyfriend<\/span><\/p>\n

    Trait 3: Clumsy<\/span><\/p>\n

    Running into desks\/beds at work with my computer (and toes)<\/span><\/p>\n

    Trait 4: Friendly<\/span><\/p>\n

    Chatting with a girl in the bathroom about where she got her sweater<\/span><\/p>\n

    Trait 5: Impatient<\/span><\/p>\n

    Merging into the other lane on 64 thinking it would be faster (it wasn\u2019t)\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    Attached is a photo of my healing bruise I got falling down the stairs this past week.<\/span><\/p>\n

    \"\"<\/p>\n

    Rationale: I chose this artifact as it made me try to name my specific attributes. During the assignment when I would think of a characteristic I could come up with events were I was kind (for example) and events where I was unkind. I think each personality attribute is a spectrum, we can all be kind but some of us tend to be frequently kind. Ironically, just because someone is frequently kind doesn’t mean they see themselves that way. They could look across situations where they were kind and see a different attribute.\u00a0<\/p>\n

    Artifact #2<\/h2>\n

    \"\"<\/p>\n

    I think this video was a great discussion about how the media thrives on the fear of the public. People are predictable in that certain things capture the public’s attention more than others. For example, in the video cars are obviously more deadly than an airplane crash. However, if the media talked about the thousands of people who die every year it will likely get less attention than a plane crash. A lot of people tend to be more fearful of airplanes due to this as they frequently get coverage when they fail. I often have to remind my parents that crime is at an all time low, we just have immediate notice when something occurs now. My mother will even disagree with me and believes crime is the worst despite the data showing otherwise. Availability heuristics is an interesting human adaptation. I can understand how it would have benefited our ancestors to use it for decision making.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Rationale: I chose this artifact to be number two as I feel like availability heuristic was very relevant for 2020 and 2021. Since we spent all of 2020 and a good portion of 2021 in quarantine I feel like most people consumed a lot of media. When we were learning about availability heuristics it really made me think about the media. They essentially rely on people being sensationalized by very rare events.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

    Artifact #1\u00a0<\/h2>\n

    While covering the concept of cognitive dissonance and doing the behavior survey I realized how accurate it was. When the question about recycling came up I immediately realized my attitudes towards recycling and my behaviors don\u2019t match up. I live in areas where recycling is difficult, no trucks come to pick up any bins. Because of this my family doesn\u2019t recycle, we justify our actions because \u201cit\u2019s too difficult\u201d. I frequently feel guilty about it but still haven\u2019t made any changes.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    \"\"<\/p>\n

    Rationale: While looking back on my artifacts I realized this one stuck with me. For awhile after completing it I kept thinking about cognitive dissonance. How many times in my life have I justified behaviors so I didn’t feel ashamed or embarrassed?\u00a0 I know for me personally, I feel very uncomfortable when I do something that doesn’t align with my sense of self. Either I try to rectify the situation or I feel the need to justify it. If I don’t I feel very anxious afterwards.\u00a0<\/p>\n
