Here's a quick update from the Criminal Justice Professional Panel held at the Eden Prairie Campus on March 4, 2008 at 6:00 to 7:00 PM.

Panel Participants:

  • Deputy Sheriff Matthew Petz
  • Officer Geoffrey Johnson
  • Officer Robert Haberle
  • Kelsey Kennedy-Facilitating


Career Evening Portion:


Questions raised and answered:

  • Do you feel that policing takes on a very different role based on the city you are in?
  • How does government spending or cost cutting affect your daily routines
  • Do you feel schools prepare students effectively to work in the realm of CJ?
  • Is their one aspect that you wish schools would emphasize to better prepare students for the CJ field?
  • What job fields do you see growing as the emphasis on CJ continues to rise?
  • Is there any job fields that are relatively unknown that will be growing as well?
  • Can a CJ degree work in a field outside of Criminal Justice?
  • How important to you believe ride-alongs or internships are to prepare student?
  • How easy do you feel it is for a CJ student to get a job in the field while still working toward their degree? Any suggestions in this realm? 
  • Are there any things that will give me an edge in working in the field?
  • As police officers do you feel you were properly trained in how to communicate properly before beginning or only after being on the job?
  • How do you youth services and child services relate to the part of CJ that you work in?
  • What does it take to be a success in the CJ field?

Here's a quick update from the Allied Health Professional Panel held at the Eden Prairie Campus on February 28, 2008 at 6:00 to 7:30 PM.

In attendance:

  • Amanda Steinhoff
  • Richard Kreyer
  • Cynthia Davies
  • Joel Fugleberg
  • Kelsey Kennedy




Questions rasied and answered in the recording:

  • I am attending Rasmussen to obtain my RHIT.  I would really like to know how Allied Health Professionals see the Electronic Health Record will impact coding and RHIT positions.  There are a lot of hospitals and clinics cutting down on staff.  Do they think this trend will continue or will it open up other areas?
  • In my cover letter should I mention that I have been a stay at home mom working part time jobs until my kids grew up and that now I am getting back into the work force? Would that help or hurt me?
  •  How do you enter the field with no experience?
  • What type of internship would be most beneficial? Are more better? Should I instead try to a get a full time job in the field?
  • Can I start an internship with just 2 months of school left, or will no one consider me until I am done with my courses?
  • Can I start looking for a job while I am in school in my field or will no one hire me until I have completed my program? 
  • What are the benefits of specializing in out patient vs. in patient coding? 
  • How many hours are typically done in an internship so that an individual begins to feel comfortable with Coding?
  • What are employers going to look for in my resume (in regards to my internship and job search)?
  • What are the different types or levels I can reach in a Coding career? 
  • Do Massage Therapists receive medical insurance from their employer? 
  • Should Massage Therapist pay for insurance to cover liability? 
  • Is it important to get a license in different cities even before I know where I will end up working? 
  • Does your location utilize transcriptionist. If so are they hired by your location or sourced out. 
  • What do you think it takes to be a success in the Allied Health field?
