My holiday break was ok. I worked alot and earned money. Thats basically all I did. wasnt as exciteding as I wanted to be but at least I have money now. We usually go to my aunts house for Christmas but this year we had it. We switched houses and it was good. I actually bought my family like nice gifts this year and it was fun to watch them open it.
A healthy body is the guest-chamber of the soul; a sick, its prison. This quote by Francis Bacon relates to my placement because part of physical therapy is working out. When you arrive at Health Quest, the first thing you do is ‘warm-up”. Doing this stretches out your muscles and get you ready for you specific exercises for you injury. In my Career Field Experience class i was required to write a journal entry on my blog. This blog post had three parts, the first paragraph was about that specific week and explain what exactly we did. Following this paragraph we would pick from multiple videos or articles to write about. Finally we would add a picture and click on post. In my opinion Career Field Experience is a unique class because it gave me an opportunity to realize how the real word is and it showed my a sneak peek of what my future could look like. For thirteen weeks, I drove all the way down gratiot and turned on to Harrington to arrive at Health Quest Physical therapy office. I observed many of the same patients receive treatment and watched them improve and heal. While reflecting on my overall experience in this class, I will outline the three employability skill of a physical therapist and how i have grown as a professional.
Positive Attitude/Motivation/Energy and Passion are skill you will need to succeed in any job. A positive attitude toward you patients is gong to make them feel good about what's going on with them. Motivation to help your patient is very important. Seeing you motivated to help them makes the client work harder and realize that they can accomplish anything especially with your help. Having a lot of energy is nice or the patient to see. They want an upbeat PT. If you aren't passionate about anything do, most importantly your career then why are you in that field? I always tried to smile or ask them questions on their progress that they have made. Planning and Organization is a big deal for this job. The PT for that patient has a list of exercises that the patient must complete in order for them to feel better. These change with the progress they make over the week they are here. Physical therapists have paperwork to fill out with each patient, they have to write down what they did and everything and how they did. Sometimes you have one patient after another and it's hard to remember everything that happened with that one specific patient. I would try and help them remember but I wasn't that much of a help. Teamwork I feel is very important. There is team work with you and the patient and also there are people there to help watch the client and make sure they are doing their exercises correctly and are doing the right ones when you are with someone else. The PT can only do so much. It's your responsibility to help yourself and do the exercises that are recommended for you. I would try and help out by getting the elastic bands for the patients or other tools they use. Interacting with others was one of my strengths that i showed at this experience. I always tried to have energy and have conversations with the patients. One of my weaknesses was problem solving . I don't exactly know that much about physical therapy so i couldn't really give my input on everything. One of the best moments of this job was watching the trainer as he helped this same lady every time I came. I saw all her progress. I enjoyed this experience while it last but I have come to realized that this job is not for me. This job saved me money in the future. If i didn't take this class I most likely would have taken classes for this specialty in college,. Doing so I would have realized this wasn't for me. This now gives me time to figure out a new plan for my future. We only have one more week left with our co-op. I do not think I will be continuing this experience because I don't think I am interested in PT. I thought i was but this helped me realize that this is not or me. I have learned a lot about everything they do.
Passionate – Employees who are passionate about their job work harder than other and accomplish more. I think this one is the most important. I believe that I am passionate in earthing that I do. Even if I do not want to do something I try to put effort in. This week at HealthQuest Physical Therapy we weren't as busy. Tuesdays are usually the slower days but we make it work. We saw some new patients and a lot of the same people as last week. Most people usually go the same days each week so you will most likely see them again.
I procrastinate all the time. I always wait till he last minute to do assignments. Sometimes something goes wrong such as my computer not working and its just bad. I try and do my homework before the weekend because I wait till Sunday night to do it. HealthQuest was slower this week. Not as many people came in as last week. This week was one of the patients last weeks at physical therapy. I wasn't there when they first started but from the past couple weeks I have been here they have improved a ton. Its good to see how PT can help a lot of people. On my evaluation I got good feed back. I got all fours and fives. Organization and time management were both fives. I am a very organized person. I also got fives on communication which is good. I got fours on work ethics. Thats not bad at all. Reviewing this time sheet show me what i can improve on.
This Tuesday was busier than all the rest of the days I have been here. A lot of the patients come on the same days which is good because you can see their progress. People come into Health Quest with many different problems but when they are much better when they leave. A new patient came in who had an injury from soccer. I could relate to this problem because I played soccer. I had a similar injury such as he has. I am excited to see the progress he makes. 8 things that make me happy 1) I am healthy 2) That i don't have to worry about where my next meal comes from 3) I have soccer in my life 4) friends who will always be there for me 5)EDM music 6)i have a car 7)i am happy that i joined the air national guard 8) that i am loved by my family Tuesdays are not the busiest days of the week.. in fact not even close. this is kind of a down side. this week i worked with Chris. He was actually really cool because he just got out of school about 6 months ago and has a career. It is cool to see someone so young already helping people. If this is the career I want I hope I get a job really fast like he did.
Participation Trophies I agree and disagree with James Harrison because I think participation trophies are a good thing because they encourage kid to keep trying even though they may not be the best. On the other hand I feel like you have top actually earn something. Not everyone deserves something just for showing up. You have to try and put in the effort. You have to earn it. Things just don get handed to you in the real world. I could not make it this week to HealthQuest because I got sworn into the Air National Guard! I will be going this week for sure. I really enjoy seeing the same patients every time I go. Most of the I see but some don't come every Tuesday. I think seeing the same patients is good because you can se all their progress. Only being able to attend one day of the week isn't that bad. You can get a lot done in one day. If HealthQuest was my permanent building I would want to make it bigger. Bigger place means You can see more patients. I would hire more people to work there. maybe I would even put a new gym in with a track. The patients could use the gym whenever they have an appointment. I would make it the best place to work.
This week at HealthQuest Physical Therapy we weren't as busy. Tuesdays are usually the slower days but we make it work. We saw some new patients and a lot of the same people as last week. Most of the patients improved from their last visit. Every patient leaves happier than they came in because they are getting better and fixing their problem. Each physical therapist takes time to evaluate each patient and they help them to the best of their ability. 15 Rules Disney Employees have to Follow
