Tomorrow is my first day of my final fieldwork. Geriatric mental health. I'm scared. Of course. But I think it will all be okay. I need to refresh my memory on ACLS, CPT, and MMSE, and start planning Life skills groups. Of course by the end of this week I'll have a much better idea of what exactly to prepare. I've prepped my clothes, my lunch, etc for tomorrow, plus organized paperwork, so hopefully everything will go smoothly tomorrow. The CPR card may be a big deal, we shall see.
Okay, I'm going to try and go to bed soon. Wish me luck on my first day. And I seriously seriously seriously seriously am getting my act together so I think I'll FINALLY catch up on emails, Facebook, blog entries, questions, etc, SOON!!!!!
This blog chronicles my OT journey starting from 2006 in the beginning of OT school, through 9 months of fieldwork, to my first year as an OT working in rural Deep South in physical dysfunction, to my transition into an elementary school system district in California. I'm in my third year now and learning new things every day. My mind is constantly blown by the amazingness of OT!

Haha, good luck, you'll do great! That dang ACLS has always tripped me up (according to my score, I shouldn't be allowed to operate home appliances).
Anyway, I should introduce myself- my name's Alece and I'm 2nd year MOT student at the University of Washington (in Seattle). I've been reading your blog for a long time now (since April 2008) and admire your dedication.
I am very interested in political advocacy at the state level, and for my Master's Project I've just launched a blog about OT advocacy in WA State- you might enjoy checking it out: www.otadvocacy.com
Good luck tomorrow!
