    Laken,

    It is very impressive that your educator actually set aside the time to assess your learning and discuss how you could get more involved in this fieldwork experience as time progressed. The willingness of our educators to facilitate learning can definitely make such a difference in our fieldwork experiences, and that's so awesome that she was eager to teach you and get you involved. I am also curious to learn more about specific OT treatment for different conditions/diagnoses as we get back to campus since I feel like that will be very helpful knowledge as we enter Level 2s. Great job, Laken. I can't wait to hear more about this rotation from you and how you grew as a future OT during your time in Georgia!

    Laken,

    I love that your fieldwork educator set aside time to discuss all of the OT sessions you had seen each week. I am sure your understanding grew tremendously during those discussions. My fieldwork educator would frequently ask me if I had any questions so that she could ensure I gained as much as possible from this experience. It sounds like we both had wonderful fieldwork educators! I agree that I would really love to learn more interventions to use with clients when getting ready for level 2 fieldworks. I would feel much more confident as a level 2 fieldwork student and novel practitioner if we reviewed interventions that would be great for treating certain conditions or injuries. Great job, Laken! I can't wait to hear more about your fieldwork experience!

Mock Interview Reflection

          Today, I had a wonderful opportunity to do a mock interview in order to prepare for future job interviews. During the actual interview process, I kept thinking that I sounded really unsure of my answers to the questions being asked. I feel like they weren't hard question, but they were not questions I had really prepared for when practicing so I had to gather my thoughts before answering. However, after I rewatched my video, I was surprised to hear that I didn't really sound unsure of myself, and I answered the questions better than I originally thought. As I was rewatching it, I could tell that I was gathering my thoughts as I was speaking, as well as trying to figure out how to word it in a way that sounded professional.            In order to prepare for my mock interview, I mainly used the resources that were provided on Blackboard. I got together with a couple of friends, and we took turns answering interview questio...

NeuroNote 2

I read an article from Sioux City Journal called “From high school to nursing home: 20-year-old learns to cope with fatal disease”. The article talks about Desiree Buettner, a 20-year-old girl who has juvenile Huntington’s disease and how she is learning to cope with her disease in Careage Hills Rehabilitation and Healthcare. She was diagnosed with HD when she was 18 years old and moved into the nursing home by the time she was 20. Dawn Young, the director of nursing services at Careage Hills, asked Desiree to create a bucket list which landed Desiree on a plane to Disney World with her nurse, Ashley Curtis. The healthcare team at Careage Hills, as well as some other resident’s family members, have taken Desiree under their wings and treated her as family, and because of that, she has grown to like being there.             I chose to read this article because it is what we have currently been focusing on in cla...

NeuroNote 4

          This week I watched The Fundamentals of Caring , a movie about friendship and tragedy with some humor mixed in. Ben takes a course to become a caregiver after he experiences a tragedy no one should ever have to experience, and his first job is taking care of Trevor, a boy with muscular dystrophy. After spending a little time with Trevor, Ben convinces Trevor’s mom to let them take a road trip – the first one Trevor will have ever been on. Friendship unfolds as they head to the deepest pit in the world.             I had a good amount of friends who watched this movie and highly recommended it, so I decided to give it a shot. I also chose to watch this movie because I felt like I didn’t understand a lot about muscular dystrophy, and I wanted to know more. I wanted to learn more about what muscular dystrophy is and how to treat it, and I believe this movie helped me learn some of those ...
