PFE Student Analysis

Decent Essays
Today was my first day in PT, I shadowed two nurses Claire and Judy and also I shadowed student from Widener University. Everyone was so welcoming and they were happy to have a PFE student. Claire told me why patients are here she said the patients can go home but they are not physically strong that's why they have to take PT and OT before they go home. I asked her If I could do anything to help them, Claire said not at this point but she will let me know. I saw how they were treating patients and how they used safety precautions so patient won't fall while walking. I observed everything they did today and it was fascinating how the patients and nurses were so familiar and they were all so funny.

    Today’s goal was to introduce me to the site, the people that work in my department, the resources available to workers, and current projects. My volunteer supervisor, Geraldine Baptist, showed me around the hospital, specifically where I would normally sign in and sign out, the cafeteria, and the Occupational/Physical therapy outpatient department. Upon arrival at the OT/PT department, Ms. Baptist introduced me to the front desk secretary, Mauracell, a sweet, openhearted young lady. Mauracell warm welcoming made me extremely comfortable, and all anxiety was put to ease. Mauracell showed me around the office and work center, then introduced me to each person present and gave me a description of what types of things they work on.…

I wanted to heal and care for them. As time went by, what seemed like a simple childhood aspiration, evolved into a need and a true desire to care for others. Despite some difficulties in my early college years, I still have the same passion to fulfill my dreams.…

In addition to preparing myself, I prepared the environment, making sure seating and arrangement was in place and the room was comfortable and private. Having done this, I utilized Florence Nightingale’s theory of environmental need.…

    I chose to do my job shadowing at a physical therapy office called Northern Therapy and Rehabilitation in Stillwater, OK. While I was there I closely observed the physical therapist and the therapy technicians. They did not let me do much more than watch. While I observed, I tried to ask the therapist important questions about school, her everyday schedule, obstacles she faced, and why she wanted to go into this field. Although I tried my best to get a feel for the occupation and get to know the therapist, she was not very engaging.…
