Mentor Q and A


1. How would you use technology in the day to day operations of your career field?

            We use technology every day in everything we do! That’s what keeps this field exciting! We use technology such as data to document patients and all of the equipment to administer cauterizations.

2. What technology do you use to communicate with other professionals?

            The nurses are the ones who usually communicate the information and data to where it needs to go.  They use charts or send it via the computer.


3. When presenting to other professionals, what do you use to do so?

            We use computer data, charts and diagrams (either manually or technologically) that display a visual of the heart where we draw in any findings we come across while we cath the patient.  We also have an inventory data sheet to document the equipment we use during the procedure.


4. What is your theory about the type of technology that will be used in the future in this profession?

            Professionals are actually working on a robotic device that will assist in caths, so that the nurses and doctors are more protected from the radiation.


5. As a student and future professional, how can you imagine technology being incorporated in this profession?

            I can imagine technology getting to the point where advanced high-tech robotic devices assist in the cath lab, so that radiation isn’t an issue for the nurses.  Also, advanced catheters that are less invasive and computers that are able to document the necessary information automatically is also a possibility.

How will you incorporate technology into your final presentation for HMP?

                  I will use technological programs such as a Prezi or PowerPoint to display my final presentation.  Then I will incorporate the technology in my mentorship in the presentation in a unique way to display all of the tools my mentors use day to day.  I will also use videos to demonstrate my career field and the technology that it requires.
