POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

The first Sunday in 12 weeks that I’m not setting my alarm for 5 AM to wake up and head to my clinical rotation… and let me tell ya, it’s bittersweet!!!

I got so beyond lucky to have had an experience that exceeded everything I’ve spent the last two years imagining.

As I was reflecting tonight on my time in acute care, I wanted to share 12 things I learned along the way:

1. Humor can be medicinal.
2. Attitude impacts EVERYTHING: You can’t always control the circumstances, but you can control the energy.
3. Sometimes the smallest actions make the largest impact.
4. In healthcare, the picture is rarely black and white and there isn’t always a “right” answer.
5. There’s a balance between meeting people where they are challenging them to move forward.
6. Sometimes our most important role as OTs is fostering connection.
7. The best clinicians never stop learning.
8. You can be confident and still not know the answer. Saying “I don’t know, but I’ll find out” isn’t a weakness.
9. Small wins deserve to be celebrated.
10. Who you choose to be your spouse matters. Even more, who you choose to be your friends matters: it’s worth considering who is going to show up for you in your most vulnerable moments.
11. You have to take care of yourself to take care of others.
12. Vulnerability is a super power.

I’m leaving this rotation with so much gratitude—for the patients who trusted me, the therapists who taught me and everyone who supported me while challenging me to step outside my comfort zone.

As a provider I will be a mosaic of the people I’ve learned from. & reflecting on each of the people I’ve worked with the last 12 weeks, that makes me feel like I just might be on the right track. 🩵
