Week 3 :)

 This week was my third week of work experience in Peamount. When we arrived we chatted to our supervisor about wheelchairs and then went on a coffee break. After that we continued on with our project for the library, by printing out pictures and laminating them. I then went to 'drama theropy'. I found this very interesting and it was good to work with the patients. I returned to the other girls then and we continued with our project. We got a demonstration of how to clamp a wheel chair into a bus. We then went on a bus trip after strapping the wheelchair in. We returned and we went to interview a patient on a course she did. I asked her some questions and wrote down her answers. This brought us up to lunchtime. After lunch we went to the sing along with the elderly. It was very enjoyable and i'm looking forward to next week :)

Week 2 :)

This week was my second week of my work experience in Peamount Hospital. When I arrived my supervisor greeted me and told me to go on a coffee break. After that the other girls and I had to begin our project by looking up pictures on the Internet that suited each category of the library. Unfortunately the pictures came out in black and white so they didn't look as well as i thought they would. After that we got to go to a fire safety training. I found this really interesting and I learnt some new facts! We then got to go and watch a DVD on abuse against patients. It was very interesting but sad at the same time. That had brought us up to lunchtime. We had our lunch and we then went over to a different ward and had a sing song with the elderly. I met some new people and I really enjoyed the day :)

Work Experience 3 :)

 This week I started my first week of my third work experience in Peamount Hospital in Newcastle. I arrived there at 09:50 in time for 10:00. Two of my friends, Hannah and Laura were also with me so I wasn't as nervous as I would be on my own. Our day started off by looking up facts and Information on the Hospital in their Internet Cafe. When we had finished that we got to listen in to a radio interview with a woman who is doing a skydive to raise money for the Hospital. I found this very interesting and we got invited to go to the radio station one of the days for some experience, which I am really looking forward to. We then had our Lunch in the canteen and met some more of the staff there. After lunch we got to go to a different area, which was with the elderly. We got to have a sing song with them which was very enjoyable. This brought us to the end of the day , and I really enjoyed it. I am really looking forward to next week to get some more experiences :)
