Sounds like you had a great time in acute care and were able to really gain some hands-on experience. That's so exciting! It's so fun to have the ability to practice emerging skills in an environment where constructive feedback is encouraged. It makes me feel more comfortable to know that it's acceptable for me to not do something perfect. I hope you have a fantastic summer! Great video!
I think everything that you described in your video is something that will be learned and practiced while on Level 2's and in the first few years of practice. It sounds like you had a great time on your field work experience and were able to really get some good hands on practice. Have a great summer break!
Maggie, I really enjoyed hearing about your experience. Sounds like you learned a lot. Like you, I was also able to get a ton of hands on experience. I now feel like I have the skills necessary to be successful for level 2 rotations. I thought your thorns were very thought out, you'll have plenty of time to work on them over the next couple of months. Great video! Tell Reggie I said hey!
Today we had a documentation lab to give us a chance to gather materials and work on building our professional portfolio. Although we have not made it to the many of the contents the portfolio requires it's helpful to have this system established and organized. For me, I am a very disorganized person and tend to lose things very easily. So this will be a beneficial assignment for me to get my stuff together and have a place for all the important documents we will obtain throughout our time here at UTHSC. Hopefully this will be good practice and lead me in the direction of being a more efficient organizer.
On Tuesday, March 6, I met with my fellow classmates to discuss our group facilitation procedures we will be implementing during our life skills group sessions. We each introduced our topics and each went through our protocol and discussed each of Cole's 7 steps and how we are addressing each step throughout our group session. We all had different topics we selected such as communication, providing care for aging parents, seeking volunteer opportunities, and home management. Open discussion occurred and feedback was provided when discussing concerns about goals or if we had any suggestions on modifying their current protocol. The leadership summit session helped me feel more confident in my work and gave me insight on what the group member's experience might be like when implementing my group intervention on Wednesday, March 7.
Maggie,
