Rural prac

HI everyone

I'm guessing most of us have done our rural prac. I did mine in Geraldton as an inpatient physio.
That time was an invaluable experience as by the end of the placement, we eventually got to run the ward. I managed to see a bit of every area including neuro, musculo inpatients, gerontology, womens health, cardio.

This experience provided me with greater confidence to continue with the rest of my pracs and most recently with my cardio prac as i had to learn to manage the ward on my own. My previous experience just made the task of managing the ward even better than the last time.

Just a not to all those who are on rural prac, make sure u have loads of fun and learn as much as you can. treasure the experience its not that bad being in the country ;>

Sounds like a good one to tie everything up nicely before PCR! Wish I got to do one as well as Cambodia :) Can't have it all I guess! Seems everyone is having an absolute ball on their rurals xx

Hey Mel,

I think I'm a little jealous of the rural prac experience that you speak of! I'm in the same boat as Dani and absolutely cannot wait to go to China for my rural which will be such an amazing expereince - but in terms of feeling prepared to step out into the workforce next year I think a rural prac like yours would be really beneficial!

Does this mean you might be keen to work rurally at some point? I think I might just be...!
