Today was my last day of work experience ever in Transition year. I started my day off by printing and laminating pictures and cutting them out. We then had to stick them up in the library as our task was to create a visual aspect to the library. We went to help a patient scan items into her computer and she had bought us a box of chocolates each as she really appreciated all the work we did for her. We then went and sold raffle tickets as they are having a charity event for classic golf. The tickets were €2 each and we managed to sell a good few. We had our lunch after that.
After we finished our lunch we went to the sing along with the elderly for the last time. We had a great time there and we sang loads of songs! I really enjoyed my work experience in Peamount, as it gave me an insight to what working in a hospital is really like :)
Yesterday was my fifth day of work experience in Peamount hospital. I started my day off by bringing a laminator to one of the patients. We then went on a bus journey to to a radio station called Liffey Sound. We were shown the different equipment used to broadcast their radio station. We got to play different songs and we learnt how to record songs using a software programme. I found this very interesting and I learnt a lot from it. When we came back we went to the physiotherapy. I had a great time here learning about different ways of mobility. This brought us up to lunchtime. After lunch we went to the singalong with the elderly patients and I really enjoyed it. We sang loads of different songs from loads of different years. I had a great time and Im looking forward to next week :)
This week was my fourth week of work experience. My day started off with continuing on with our project. I had to reprint off some pictures and we then figured out that the laminator was broken. I then went to help a patient scan 231 pages back into her computer. We were there for about two hours and we only got 100 pages done. I then went to help another patient sort out her folders and her items. When I had finished this I met back up with the other girls and we went for lunch. After lunch we went over to another part of the wards and had a sing song with the elderly patients. There was a good mixture of songs and I really enjoyed it. I am really looking forward to next week :)
