Melbourne Cup Day! (No lady luck for me. Tim got 1st and 2nd place!)
It was very very busy at UCH today with everyone running around for the lucheon event. Everyone dressed up in their bests today and all staff brought in hats to wear!
Yesterday, Tim and I recieved our mid-prac assessments from April and I was pleased with how I am going. Although April believes I communicate very well with the residents and that I am able to build a good rapport with everyone I meet, I apparently need to work on slowing down when speaking and also bring up more topics that the residents like to talk about (ie their family).
I am suprisingly really enjoying this placement so far. The staff are all very friendly and most of the residents are really sweet (I do have my favourites though). It is really good how we've been given alot more responsibilty lately as we've been running all the exercises by ourselves (taking turns). Every X group i take i find i'm becoming more confident and learning more about the things these older people can and can't do and what they enjoy/dislike doing.
