PTs aren't built in a day. I have so much appreciation for everything I've learned during FT1 and how much more I still have to learn #PT676

[Jennifer Rusher @RushDPT]

@AllisBecky @IHP_PTClinEd Yes, rewarding + finding a way to relieve the pt's pain through PT can also make the pt less cranky #winwin #pt676

[Jennifer Rusher @RushDPT]

@AndyK_SPTweets I agree, + in in-patient it's often possible to integrate social hx questions into rest breaks or functional mobility #pt676

[Jennifer Rusher @RushDPT]

@benoits12 I agree, reviewing pt goals gives you a good check when evaluating pt progress and prioritizing treatments #pt676

[Jennifer Rusher @RushDPT]

Learning different tactics for behavioral management and motivation was a very useful thing to learn in clinical! #skills #pt676

For effective interprofessional communication, plan out what you're going to say in advance and be concise #PT676

If you have any doubt as to how much you've learned during full time 1, look back on the documentation you did your first day, ha! #pt676

[Jennifer Rusher @RushDPT]

@IHP_PTClinEd I have them explain it back to me verbally, but today w/ a demonstration from a pt with cognitive deficits #flexibility #PT676

[Jennifer Rusher @RushDPT]

@IHP_PTClinEd I think over txs and edu on the commute, but most opportunities for pt ed often arise organically so I remain flexible #pt676

[Jennifer Rusher @RushDPT]

If a patient needs to finish up ADLs during treatment time, incorporate ADLs into the session i.e. brush hair in standing for balance #PT676

[Jennifer Rusher @RushDPT]

Doing the same therex every session can bore the patient, try targeting the same impairments with more creative activities #PT676

A patient's words of wisdom on how to manage stress: "When you share a problem with someone, you're cutting it in half" #PT676

Assistive devices in Spanish: cane - el bastón, crutches - las muletas, walker - el andador, wheelchair - la silla de ruedas #PT676

[Jennifer Rusher @RushDPT]

Music that pts like can be used before or during PT treatment to potentially change pt mood, distract from pain, or enhance attention #PT676
