Hi guys,
Yay another placement is over! I hope you all went well in your assessments.
I am currently on a paeds placement and the patient they chose for my assessment was a 10 month old (The age bracket they knew I found the most challenging) and whose parents had limited english!
Talk about freaking out, I swear I spent the whole night having nightmares about how terrible I was going to go. But things ended up going pretty good in the end and the curtin clinical supervisor was awesome. She was a younger supervisor and instead of sitting there ticking off all the boxes in front of your face and making you feel like you were an ant under a magnifying lens about to be burned to smitherines she sat back from us and just watched. She also talked freely with the parents which made me more comfortable and able to perform to my ability.. In the end she gave me a report that didn't have negatives which I was sure would be on there. And when she said how confident I was I didn't dare say "actually I was freaking out the whole time and had no idea if what I was doing was right". So my question is when they ask us what areas we need to improve on should we (or I) be listing off all the things we (I) think I'm terrible at or should we (I) just keep it to myself. Just a thought.
