Third Week Assignment!!!

Describe one significant activity or project that you have completed or are working on currently.

One significant activity i've completed during my third week of internship is to abserve and collaborate with other therapists in my department during one of the patients exercises. It was really fun for me because not only i got to learn many important points of how to become an accupational therapist but also get to help out the patient on my own. Basically therapists asked me give an emotional but also a physical support to one of russian speaking patients. He had his hip replacement so i had to help him complete several of exersices. By the end of that activity I felt really refreshed and understoon that O.T is something i'm actually interested into doing in further life.

Second Week Assignment Part 2

3. What is something that you really like about the internship?
4. What is something you dislike about the internship?
5. Who else's blog have your read and commented on?

During my second week of internship i realized that hospital isnt for me, atleast the deaprtment I'm in. It wasn't very different from the first week, but i got to help out nurses at my station a little bit. I really like people who surround me there, they seen very intelegent and it makes me feel grown up around them. I also like my uniform:], because i never wore one so it's kind of cool to have! I completely dislike being next to eldery people who i have to take care of. It just makes me feel really uncomfortable and sad to see them so helpless. I'm sorry Mr.Andrew i haven't really read noones blog yet.

My internship site is Methodist Hospital. This hospital has many different health departments that deal with different types of medicine fields. Hospital is located in downtown Brooklyn 7th ave. My mentors name is Misty, she a very friendly and encouraging person. On my first day of internship i was very nerveous and felt like i wasn't in my plate. It is obvious for me experiencing these feelings because, i've never volluntered before & did not know any of the people who work there! But happily my supervisor turned out to be a very nice guy who gave me a little tour around my department, which is called "Accupational Theropy". There werent exactly any memorable moments during that past week, but i got to know patiens a little better, learn their names and just get used to the hospital world that was surrounding me for those 3 hours/day.
