Orem Rehab and Nursing
Fieldwork II
For my first Level II FW I went to Orem Rehab and Nursing in Orem, Utah. I worked there everyday for 8 weeks. The setting was physical dysfunction in acute care and LTC.
Working here was a great experience for me. I worked hands on with patients who had had a TKA, THA, CVA, broken bones and general weakness. I was given my own caseload of patients, and saw up to 10 patients a day. I learned so much! I made wonderful friendships, and the experience was invaluable to my learning. It was the first time that I was able to fully use what I had learned in school.
Utah State Hospital
Fieldwork II
My second fieldwork was at the Utah State Hospital in Provo, Utah. I worked there for 8 weeks with patients who had mental illness. I worked in the Forensic Unit, Pediatrics, Boys Youth and Girls Youth Units. It was a great experience and I learned so much.
