Clinic!
Today we started practicing the correct positioning in our chair. It was hard to picture when I was reading through the Nield book, but it was good to physically practice it in on a classmate. We learned 8, 9, 10, 11 and 12 o'clock positions along with the correct surfaces to use. I feel that I did everything well, but I really need to feel confident in everything that I do. I am feeling more comfortable with my surroundings. Out Instructor's and Ta's are very helpful. I am excited for next week.

First day of Clinic!
Today was our first day in clinic. Our goal for the day was to identify places and items we need to know and how to properlly wash our hands and set up and close down our station. First, we set up our station by puttin our instruments away. Then we went on a scavenger hunt to help us familiarize ourselves. Our instructors showed us how to set up our station and close it down. We practiced doing it. All of these activities helped me feel more comfortable with the clinic. At the end we watched a movie. I think today went well!
