2nd Year!!

I can’t believe that we are already 2^nd year students and ready to tackle many more challenges! I am very interested and look forward to learning more about the geriatric population. Since I currently work in a SNF, and plan on doing so when I’m officially an OTA, it will be exciting to learn more about these folks and be able to implement what we have already learned in our previous classes. 

As far as what daunts me…the answer to that would be documentation. QUICK documentation. It’s one thing to sit down for an hour and write a SOAP note, but being able to do it on the spot and in a short time frame is something else. I already have “documentation performance anxiety”. <--- Nope, it’s not in the DSM :) Anyway, I know that with practice it will get easier and I'm definitely up for the challenge. Practice makes perfect right? Man I hope so!

One thing that I'm excited about is the interviews. It will be interesting to hear the differences between answers and opinions of people at different points in their lives. These folks have lived a long time and have seen a lot of things in their lives and some of them love to share their stories. Hopefully we will hear some good ones!!

And a video just for fun...
