I have been placed in the Gerentology/Neurology section for Hollywood Hospital.
I'am excitied about experiencing a different section of physiotherapy, and being activley involved in the assessment and treatment process. I do enjoy working with older people so im glad that i will get the opportunity to deal with some of the elderly and hopefully help them with their problems. I'll be there 5 days a week from 8 in the morning till 4 in the afternoon, i think i could be a bit exhausted after the first week!.
However, I am a bit worried about being thrown in the deep end, i have been told some students are given their first patients day one and simply told to ""go ahead and treat them"". I'am hoping to eventually get my own patients but i would like a bit of direction to begin with.
I'am slightly apprehensive about going on this placement, as i havent had any physiotherapy experience in a hospital setting before. My last placement was in a private practice, and was a musculoskeletal placement, wich i feel is a bit more straight forward than a neurology placement.
I don't think Neurology is my strongest section of phsyiotherapy, however I'm determined to give it my best shot.
Tonight could be a late night, doing some last minuite study of Alisons' Nero tutorials!!.
