[nabs-l] Two imprtant Skills not mentioned

[Carrie Gilmer]

These might not seen like it but can be a problem if not mastered-

You should know how to use health services confidently, make appointments,
take care of yourself when commonly ill, when to seek medical care, how to
seek it, how to ask a doctor questions independently, how to use a pharmacy.

Also how to mail stuff! It was shocking to me at the training center how
many students did not know how to use the post office. Learn how to use a
fax machine and a copier and to use a copy or printing service as well-okay
that is a third thing. These things can benefit you as a student and help in
employment readiness.
