@elony_may With so many professionals involved, it is a lot of unfamiliar material to absorb. I️ plan to write / keep key notes on me through the day

[Sheena Gopal @Sheena_Gopal]

@RSottileSPT Thanks Rachael! I️ probably will hand write key notes during clinical so that I am more prepared throughout the day. #CCIVc2019

[Sheena Gopal @Sheena_Gopal]

I️ plan to review charts more efficiently/effectively esp in acute. Sometimes I’d forget all that I️ had just read about a pt! #CCIVc2019

[Sheena Gopal @Sheena_Gopal]

@mjohn134 This is my main goal too! Our level of involvement should be more on us rather than what our CIs prompt us to do. #CCIVc2019

[Sheena Gopal @Sheena_Gopal]

@BenjaminSoren I need to work on this too! What resources are there to practice thinking of creative interventions ? #ccivc2019

[Sheena Gopal @Sheena_Gopal]

@BohnertCaitlin Putting together everything we've learned in a way that best benefits each pt! Love it. #CCIVc2019

[Sheena Gopal @Sheena_Gopal]

@AndrewWysota Sometimes yeah. Ex: those who had a lot of post-op pain. I wasn't sure if it was best to skip PT for now or push them to try.#ccivc2019

[Sheena Gopal @Sheena_Gopal]

I struggled in finding the balance between pushing a pt too hard vs. going too easy on them. Esp. when they just want to rest #CCIVc2019

[Sheena Gopal @Sheena_Gopal]

@BohnertCaitlin I get that too! How do you think we can balance our empathy with our healthcare professionalism ? #ccivc2019

[Sheena Gopal @Sheena_Gopal]

@TayntedLove What did you and your CI do in the less active parts of the day? @CCIVc2019

[Sheena Gopal @Sheena_Gopal]

@MGulmi24 I had no experience in acute care before today, so I was very nervous! #CCIVc2019

[Sheena Gopal @Sheena_Gopal]

@jtingsonSPT What differences did you find between your expectations and what you actually saw today? #CCIVc2019

[Sheena Gopal @Sheena_Gopal]

@KG100810 I've mainly gotten experience in outpatient settings, and did a bit of inpatient rehab. But now I'm in acute care and was very nervous!

[Sheena Gopal @Sheena_Gopal]

@erinn_kd Yup! We did some two person transfers together!

[Sheena Gopal @Sheena_Gopal]

Also pleasantly surprised by how comfortable I felt in a completely unfamiliar setting #CCIVc2019

[Sheena Gopal @Sheena_Gopal]

Today in acute care, I was surprised by the drastically varying levels of (in)dependence my CIs handled #CCIVc2019

[Sheena Gopal @Sheena_Gopal]

@srosendall_SPT I've definitely noticed that collaboration more in acute!
Did your CI share patient sessions with other people?

[Sheena Gopal @Sheena_Gopal]

@eclairepastry2 What techniques did you or your CI use to further their motivation? #CCIVc2019

[Sheena Gopal @Sheena_Gopal]

@mandyduny @MSmithSPT Very cool! With so many people involved, how did they make sure every member was heard without it being overwhelming? #CCIVc2019

[Sheena Gopal @Sheena_Gopal]

@AndrewWysota It's like the pt with angina we talked about in CC3! At what point did your CI realize it was probably a different dx? #CCIVc2019
