Hello everybody, on this day I'm going to talk about my ideal job. My ideal job would be one that reconciles my personal time and family with the needs of my patients. To start I would like work in the public sector; because I know that there could help many people and women in need and the best way I can. Helping people most in need, is one of my purposes working; considered "ideal job". On the other hand, the ideal would be to work in the private sector as I have always wanted. But keep the work in the public sector to meet one of my purposes. The ideal place to work would be a hospital or have my private office and assisting the pregnant women during all the gestation process; if possible, near my house. I would like to work assisting in the delivery process and assisting the newborns in the area of neonatology; because they are areas of my career that I most like. Moreover, would be ideal to work in another area that I have always liked, this is in vitro fertilization; so I can help families that are unable to have children.

For me my future family is the most important, therefore, I would like to have time to spend with them. I want to share every birthday, Christmas, New Year, special moments always with them, and I don’t want to miss those moments for my work. For this, my ideal work schedule is one that leaves me time to spend with them.

In conclusion, my ideal job is one that makes me happy and I can live in peace… doing what I like.

Blog: 7 "My life"

Hello! In this day I will tell you my life. It all started when my parents were married in 1983. After having two male children, they wanted to have a daughter. After a few years my mother became pregnant, as I have, knowing that was a little girl, were very excited. On march 12 in 1990, at 5:25 p.m. I was born. I named Andrea honor and memory of my aunt who had died about a year ago, since then my name is Andrea Josefina Aranda Pellegrini.

After a year and four months, my sister Maria Ignacia was born from that moment she became my best friend and accomplice.

In total there are four brothers: the first is called Sebastian and he is 26 years old, is an industrial engineer. The second is called Felipe and he is 22 years old, he studied civil engineering works, then I come with 20 years old, and finally Maria Ignacia and she is 19 years old, she wants to be anthropology.

Besides them, I live with my two parents and a dog.

My mother's name is Cecilia Pellegrini and works as a public relations company, and my Father is called Claudio Aranda, he has a landscaping company called "Entorno Verde". They are 27 years of marriage.

And finally, my dog is named Diego, and is the most intelligent and cute dog in the world. It is a Maltese.

When I was three, I went with my family to live for a time in Los Angeles, Chile. I remember that time very happy and very entertaining as a moment of my life. For the six years I returned to live in Santiago. But lives is too stressful Santiago, but in my twenty years of age get used to.

I was in four colleges, but I was never expelled from any, but it was for city or preferences change. But the one I remember and which I left is Colegio Santa Catalina de Siena (only women). This is where I met my current friends, and best friends.

Finally, in 2008 I took the PSU, so immediately I went to study at the Universidad de Chile, to the career midwifery.

Hello, in today's blog I'm going to talk about prevention and education in my career and in my future profession.

Is important to know that trough education the prevention is possible, because the known risks, benefits, techniques, research... I can take care, preventing any problems that may befall.

There are many possible health topics for use in education, which are related to my career are, for example: Maternity, first aid, contraceptive methods, pregnancy, chronic diseases, prevention of many diseases including cancer, HIV, STDs, hypertension, diabetes, among others.

The education can be done using many techniques; personal or group: through medical consultations, meetings, group discussions, group support networks… The health education is for all risk groups, which can carry any health problem; therefore they need in addition to education, prevention. On the other hand it is also for people interested in health topics. Then the kind of people that need education and prevention covers most of the population: women, men, children, adults, seniors, teens, teenagers, married, single, and other.

Personally I would like to teach the subject of breastfeeding, maternity and newborn care, because I find interesting and often necessary for mothers for the first time.

Undoubtedly, education in health is a subject that needs much support in our country, to prevent many problems affecting our population, for that, health professionals, we must work hard.

Thanks.

Hello! In this occasion I will talk about the role of gender in health care. To start, I think where fewer gender differences at work is in the area of health, all share the same level of responsibility. Both men and women are responsible in the same way the health care of patients.

If we talk about salary, I think there are no gender differences, probably in the Administrative already. But among the health professionals there are not. I do believe that salaries are going according to studies and role within the health center.

The same goes when talking about the kind of patients, I think there aren’t significant differences in general; but the kind of patients between doctors if it depends on the specialty. For example, men prefer to be checked by male urologists; however, many women prefer to be checked by female gynaecologist. On the other hand, men prefer to be checked by men and women prefer to be checked by women as something that usually happens. On that side if there are gender differences.

Where there are gender differences between men and women in the area of health is in relation to professional development, For example, there are medical specialties that require a long time, so we see that there are more men than women because women exercise that should take care of the children many times, and by studying the number of years often do not choose this.

Finally there are professions in the health area that are focused more to women, for example, nurses or midwifery. The number of men studying is very low.

Personally, I prefer to be checked by a female nurse or midwife.
