How Can You Get Ready?
Clinical Behavior
First impressions are important, so coming prepared to clinical service is a great way to build a strong reputation. In addition, learning how to behave and respond to certain situations is critical for workplace productivity. The right actions and mentality can help you earn the respect of your superiors and the patients you may be caring for. Overtime, better relationships will lead to more professional opportunities.
Learn Names.
Addressing staff members and patients properly is a simple but powerful gesture; it shows that you respect whoever you may be talking to. Because you could meet several individuals in a day, write the names down in a notebook to remember and reference from. To receive respect, it is important to first give respect.
​
Actively Participate.
Being willing to participate will not only help the staff and patients, but it will also grant you more learning experience. Interact with your teachers and superiors to get the most clinical exposure possible. When staff members take notice of your initiative and enthusiasm, you may be given new responsibilities (which are valuable) that others will not have a chance to do.
​
Come Prepared.
To actively participate, you must be prepared to handle the day. If you are responsible for a patient or moving to a new clinical sector, make sure you have an understanding of what illnesses you will be dealing with. This will help you ask more insightful questions, improve work performance, and make sure that you are never falling behind or feeling lost.
