Jolie Reeder, a senior at McBride High School, interned at Bel Vista Healthcare Center this past summer. When asked why she was interested in the internship, Jolie shared, “I was intrigued by the internship because of the different hands-on experiences they offered. My responsibilities included assisting with patient activities and events, assisting with the music and memory program, and performing administrative tasks like answering phones and filing.” During her internship, Jolie was also able to job shadow a nutritionist, physical and occupational therapist, a certified nurse assistant, and a licensed vocational nurse.
After Jolie completed her internship at Bel Vista Healthcare, she was offered a job as the Activities Assistant and is currently working approximately 16 hours a week doing tasks similar to those she did during the summer. Now, she is able to manage the floor by herself!
One thing Jolie learned from her internship that she will always remember is to “appreciate personal independence and the importance of being persistent when something simple becomes difficult to do.” While job shadowing an occupational therapist, she noticed the difficulty patients had losing their independence and their ability to do daily activities. When patients wanted to give up, the therapist constantly encouraged them to do exercises that would ultimately help strengthen their muscles so they could regain their ability to take care of themselves.
The internship at Bel Vista affirmed Jolie's passion about working in the healthcare industry. She realized that each health care worker, from the nutritionists to the doctors, had a real impact on the patient’s quality of life. It is clear that Jolie is on her way to achieving her career goal of becoming a pediatric endocrinologist! We at Long Beach CaLL wish nothing but the best to Jolie in realizing her future aspirations.
