However, once I started my clinical placement which was during the 4th year of my degree, I started gaining my confidence and motivation back. I could finally see the truth with my own eye that being a physiotherapist is the best thing I ever wanted to be. The smile of my patients and them thanking me after every session meant the world to me. The progression and improvement of each patient's condition made me realize the great change that I can make in their life. I could finally believe in the importance of physiotherapy interventions including soft tissue manipulation in a variety of conditions. I believed that the inner self-acceptance and confidence are necessary in order to make the "change" in the world that I always dreamt of. Throughout my clinical placement year, I developed good communication, interpersonal, and leadership skills. Although most of my patients were …show more content…
I also believe that through any of the courses that I have chosen I will gain the knowledge and skills needed to reach my goal as I would be qualified to work in health organizations, ministries or even hospital management in my country. I feel very responsible to develop the health care system in my country and make it as strong as in Europe. Unfortunately, physiotherapy is not well practiced in Sudan and in Saudi Arabia where I live. My greatest motivation is to implement the correct physiotherapy services, especially cardiorespiratory physiotherapy, as it is not practiced at all in Sudan or Saudi Arabia according to my father's cardiologist. My father has undergone a cardiac angioplasty in 2016 and told me that he has never been treated or referred to a
The patient, LL, is a twenty four year old female who was diagnosed with obsessive-compulsive disorder five years ago. Around the ago of eighteen, LL started to experience many symptoms of obsessive-compulsive disorder. She had just started her freshman year at a local college and moved into the dorms with a random roommate. LL was constantly washing her hands and grossed out by the germs, so she came to realize she had a phobia of germs. She would begin sweating and having major anxiety when people went to shake her hand or her roommate would touch her food or any of her things. LL started skipping class and isolating herself in her room in order to avoid contact with other people. When her grades dramatically declined,
Look back: During my third week clinical experience, I did both computer charting and paper charting (for maternal assessment) with nursing care plan. Besides charting, I reported my significant findings of the mother verbally to the primary nurse.
For as long as I could remember, I always knew that I wanted to pursue a career in the field of physical therapy. Everything about the human body is captivating from the way it works to its powerful ability to heal itself. To many people, the field of physical therapy involves using exercise to aid in the restoration of physical function in patients, but to me, it means so much more. One reason as to why the field of physical therapy peeked my interests is because it combines my keen curiosity for the human body and all its fascinating capabilities, physical exercise and the compassion to help others. In recent years, several events occurred that have helped inspire me to become a physical therapist.
With the help of my family and employers, I resign from my job and enrolled into the University of Houston-Clear Lake. They motivated me into taking the first step into my professional career in where I achieved my bachelor’s degree in Fitness & Human Performance. It was there that I was given the opportunity to do my internship at Proactive Physical Therapy (PPT) and see hands on what to expect in a PT setting. To be a part of someone’s rehabilitation journey, from the moment you first see them at their initial evaluation, to when they are graduating and being discharged, is an incredible feeling to be a part of. A Physical Therapist often encounter patients that are at the lowest point in their life in which they would have to teach, coach, listen and motivate the patient to rehabilitate them. When TW came in for PT, he was down on himself because he had

The attainment of clinical skills helps to build my proficiency in delivering care to patients and able to visualize on the next placement.
My wife & I have been together for 12 years and we were making plans for marriage when I met with a cycling accident in December 2013. I passed out from the accident and was admitted to hospital. Brain scans picked up a mass in my brain. The MRI confirmed the tumour and I was diagnosed with Trigeminal Schwannoma. As I was not experiencing any symptom, I could not accept my condition, I was in denial. Over the next nine months, I sought medical advice from various doctors; the consensus was to have surgery. It took me some time for me to accept that I had to take this step, through a combination of support from my fiancé and my parents, my new found faith in God, friends in church, and finding out more from others who had been through the journey such as Melissa Lim, founder of BTSS.
When I first decided to come to college for nursing after staying in university for three years, I had an argument with my parents because they were not happy with my decision. My parents just wanted me to finish rest of my degree and they thought that it did not make sense to go to college for diploma, and not complete the university degree. However, I just wanted to complete my nursing diploma in the same amount of time that I can finish my degree in the university because I always wanted to be a nurse.
The way the Tracy handled, and interacted with the patient completely impressed me, and from that day onward, I was certain that physical therapy was the career for me. The aspect of physical therapy that I enjoy the most is working with different patients on rehabbing their injury. With every new patient that walk through the door, come s a exciting new challenge for me to help the patient work to get back to their physical ability they were at before their injury. The aspect of physical therapy that I’m the most worried about is the amount of time I have to spend in college to obtain my degree. Although I don’t mind spending a few extra years in college, in the back of my mind it still worries me a little bit. I can use physical therapy as a reflection of my faith in the way of helping patients who have suffered become healthy again. As Jesus before me helped cure the sick, blind, and taking away the sins of the world by dying on the cross, I plan to the best of my ability help anyone I can recover from an injury that is causing them great pain and suffering in their
Clinical social workers in the community strive to enhance and maintain psychosocial functioning of individuals, families, and small groups. They also focus on prevention of psychosocial dysfunction or impairment, including emotional and mental disorders. The perspective of person-in-situation (psychosocial context) is fundamental to clinical social work practice (Austin, Barr, & Coombs, 2006).
Throughout my final ten weeks at my placement, I have grown and overcome so many obstacles. I have accomplished a wide range of skills since the beginning and have been improving on them as I gained experience. At my placement as a student nurse, I have gained a lot of confidence, skills, knowledge and experiences that have helped me act and work in a professional way. All the experiences I have had during the ten weeks of my student years have helped me in shaping me into a professional.
I acknowledge that the clinical supervisor determines your pay check, wasn’t suggesting to go and become a patient of the clinical supervisor. Expressing steps I would take or hope to be offered by the clinical supervisor as prevention measures. For these symptoms available service should be offered to counselors or advised for counselors to seek outside of work if needed. The clinical supervisor should show the same compassion for the counselor wellbeing as counseling show to their clients. Realistically some common topic that can be discussed with a person clinical supervisor related to the following conversation.
I believe placing student nurses in the clinical setting is vital in becoming competent nurses. Every experience the student experiences during their placement has an educative nature therefore, it is important for the students to take some time to reflect on these experiences. A specific situation that stood out to me from my clinical experience was that; I didn’t realize I had ignored the patient’s pain until I was later asked by the nurse if the patient was in any pain.
As a child, I never experienced racism it wasn’t until my teenage years when I started to take notice to the prejudice that occurs in America. It probably never affected me before this time because I am white, however, I’ve seen it happen to kids I went to school with and friends of mine. The one occurrence of racism that deeply affected me took place in 2009 during the swine flu epidemic. I rode the bus with this kid who I have previously encountered in the past name Augusto. His family moved from Mexico the prior year and I would ask him questions about his experience with coming to America. Well because of the swine flu epidemic people were blaming Mexicans saying that it was their fault the virus came to America.
This week’s clinical experience has been unlike any other. I went onto the unit knowing that I needed to be more independent and found myself to be both scared and intimidated. However, having the patients I did made my first mother baby clinical an exciting experience. I was able to create connections between what I saw on the unit and the theory we learned in lectures. In addition, I was able to see tricks other nurses on the unit have when providing care, and where others went wrong. Being aware of this enabled me to see the areas of mother baby nursing I understood and areas I need to further research to become a better nurse.
