I just finished my first week of prac at the sub acute medical unit, more fondly know as SAMU, at Charlies. The verdict? I’m loving it! With it being my 1st prac and things, I was excited but apprehensive like what if I injured a patient or things like that. Getting my bearings around the ward and getting a hang of what OTs do on this ward has been great! When I stepped into G block on the first day, I was so scared and things but now I’m loving it.
The fact that we had like 2 afternoon teas was great too LOL
I got to look at the DASU (Delirium Assessment & Surveillance Unit) and watch in on a kitchen assessment with a patient. It was very interesting to watch.
I must say, I never thought I wanted to work in a hospital but now I do. I walked in on day 1, with everything looking a bit old and slightly dinky, but its not that bad. I was quite scared on Monday I nearly puked my breakfast out hahaha but I’m all good now.
Anyways, I’m off to go shower. Update soon! Possibly with a picture of me in our ‘glamorous’ plastic aprons LOL
Reminded me of the day when you first experienced with a cadaver and you said you wouldn’t eat chicken ever!!!!….remember????
Hahah I remember! Those were the days. Now I see live patients, albeit old ones.
