Today is the day before my next placement and I am in Bunbury all ready to get started. I had to pack up my things making sure I didn’t forget anything like my uniform, stethoscope, name badge, text books, notes, bathers and then all my normal clothes. That was a different start to my placement than my other ones which were all close to home and I also found it slightly difficult because it is rural I had to study a variety of areas rather than focusing on one core specification of physiotherapy.
I think that the expectation level has yet again risen and I think I will expected to know more and be able to clinically reason with greater ease. I am worried of what my supervisor will be like and what his/her expectations will be of me as a 4th year student. As I am going to a private hospital I am very interested to see the similarities and differences to how the public system is structured.
I am also worried that because there are so many things I could have to know for this placement that I will find it harder to study as I switch between cardio, neurology, musculoskeletal, pediatrics, gerontology, orthopedics and women’s health. It is fine for those subjects I have already had placements for this year but the others I am trying to get my head around again. Hopefully everything falls into place as I begin to see patients.
Overall I am excited that I am at the halfway point of our placements and am looking forward to yet again getting in their, interacting and actually being a physiotherapist for the next 5 weeks.
