Initial entry: fourth placement

This round I am at Fremantle hospital doing my cardiorespiratory placement. I expect it to be quite structured where I will develop a daily routine of seeing approx 6-8 patients a day. I hope that I get the opportunity to experience physiotherapy in the ICU as well as the basic ward work. I expect that the majority of my day will be spent mobilising patients and obviously chest physio to assist with an early discharge. I assume as it being a hospital placement that discharge planning will be vital as soon as the patient is admitted. My main concern is the expectations of me as a student in my final placement, I feel fairly confident with my theoretical knowledge in cardiorespiratory however I am unsure of how well I will transfer it practically. I am to a degree concerned about the fact that there is eight students doing their cardio placement here and what degree of independence we will have. Only because it is my last placement and I'd love the opportunity to work on my own with a full case load however I know this may not be feasible. Overall I am excited to start this placement as it is my final one and I have yet to do any cardio physio.
