A New Setting
This week I finally started my next clinical. This one is completely different from my last clinical experience! I am currently working in an outpatient orthopedic setting at a major Chicago hospital satellite clinic. No more 4-wheeled walkers (well so far)!!!
Everything about this clinical has, for the most part, been different. A lot more individual exercise plans are done versus group exercise, the patients are all relatively independent with their exercise plans, and best of all I get to work with more biophysical technologies!!!
The only down side is the LONG hours. Since the clinic is open 7 a.m. - 7 p.m., there are some days that my CI (and thus me) is scheduled for 11 hours. This will definitely be something that I will have to get used to, but I know that it will all work out.
Time to break out the old ortho and test and measures notes to brush up!
