Rural Prac- a mixed bag

Hey guys hope everyone is kicking goals on their last prac (ever!)
I'm up in Tom Price at the moment (thanks for all the dodgy handovers Marty just kidding)... Things are quite laid back up here, we have a primarilly musculo outpatients client load but also some womens health, hydro, cardio etc
Even though it's only the second week, I'm already feeling like I'm part of the team (physios, other allied health, nurses, doctors etc) and feel like I'm contributing (this feeling usually takes me until week 4 or 5 of other pracs)... anyway I was just reflecting and wondering if I'm feeling confident and part of the team up here because I'm in the country, things are more laid back and relaxed, I'm allowed to wear shorts and sneakers, the country air etc OR because this is my last prac and therefore my knowledge and skills have all finally kicked in??? Or maybe it's a combo of both, I don't know. So I was just wondering if you guys felt similar on your rural pracs/ last pracs??
Good luck
Ezza

Dodgy handovers! Ha! You should have seen the ones I discharged before I left!! Anyway... Glad to see you're having a good time in Tom Price Vegas. They are a pretty good crue up there. I'm inclined to think that it may be possible that you have learned something this year. Just a theory.. I know that I found that I was able to manage my time better than at the start of the year, and all of the different conditions you see were a real learning opportunity. Hope all continues to go well
