Boss for a day
For one day I was in charge of running the whole ward(my supervisor was off sick) so literally in charge. There were other physios around in another ward who I can page if I needed help but I was the only "physio" on my ward. I had to be really prepared, print off the handover sheet, get the handovers from the coordinator, prioritise my pt list and write up the plan for PTA, write up progress notes and to get through my pt load efficiently so I make time for am tea and go home in time =). It was really fun, the fact that I was able to handle it pretty well. As I was there for 3 weeks and a half before this happened I already got a good grip of how things run in the ward. The nurses also had to come to me when they had questions about the patients and I was able to answer their questions with no hesitation and with confidence. The only thing I had trouble with was reading pages from the pager...it was the first time I used it and when it beeped I didn't know how to handle it haha
