Vanessa Buchanan - OT Student

Midway through final placement, so much to still learn, so grateful for the positive experience I'm having #OTStudent #finalyear #finalplacement #loveOT #OTwannabe

@chloesophiaOT The journey is made so much easier with great role models like yourself. Your guiding and nurturing ways inspire me when things get tough. Thank you 💚

Year 3 has come to a close. All assignments passed. Year 4 starts next month with the final 10 week placement. This year has not passed without challenges but challenges are just opportunities to learn from 💚 #OT #finalyear #apprentice #OTwannabe #student #gettingthere

@ChloBroughtonOT @Lincs_Stroke It doesn't seem possible that we are half way through placement. So much I still want to do, so much to learn. Coffee was the perfect way to celebrate today 💚

@SkyUK how is it that an engineer can knock out the service to my elderly neighbour on a Friday, and this will not be looked at till Monday at the earliest. Neighbour relies on phone line to support emergency lifeline. Neighbour is vulnerable and lives alone. Help please

Looking forward my first #theOTshow next week. Looking for recommendations and advice to get the most out of my visit #OT #OTstudent #occupationaltherapy

And before I knew it, placement was over. It's been an amazing 8 weeks learning so much about OT, Mental Health, myself. I can't thank my Educator enough for her time, energy, patience and knowledge. #OT #thankful #mentalhealth #Occupationaltherapy #coventryuniversity #placement

Just one week left of placement. It will be sad to day goodbye after 8 weeks. I have learnt so much and thank everyone for their support and encouragement. Placement is temporary, growth is permanent. #OT #OccupationalTherapy #placement #everydaysalearningday #growth

When you browse in the book shop for a new novel and the first book you pick up and open has two words shouting at you. You just have to buy it!! Bonus that the page number is also my favourite number #113 #lovetoread #occupationaltherapy #timeforme #newnovel

Feeling fabulous at turning 50 ❤️🎂

@jenna_ot As always it was lovely to see you and to have a good catch up Jenna. Thank you 😊💚

Great to catch up with @NessBuchanan last night. Reflecting on our placement experiences so far and sharing new knowledge 🤟🏼 can’t believe we are nearly half way through our first placements already! 💚

Already 3 weeks have passed of placement. Time is flying. Loving every minute, learning lots, confidence is growing. Sneaking in a little reading on a much needed trip to the theatre 💚 #OTstudent #Occupationalbalance #ilovereading #lifeofastudent #OT

@theRCOT It's a fabulous first week. I needn't have worried. My educator has made me feel so welcome and is lovely. It's great to put theory into practice. So much to learn and I'm taking something different away each day 😊

@NessBuchanan How did it go? 💚

First day of first placement. Equally nervous as I am excited. Looking forward to putting theory into practice 💚 #OT

Never underestimate the joy that new pegs can bring 😁

@PennyFatchett Thank you Penny. I am looking forward to it 💚

@NessBuchanan Miss you already! I know you enjoy the placement and shine like the star you are 🌟

Emotional couple of days saying goodbye to my work family. Its only 8 weeks but seems like forever right now #workfamily #OT #Apprenticeship #coventryuni #illbeback

Year two uni assignments completed and passed. Next stop placement 💚 To celebrate I went shopping with Sophie and treated myself to new pants and tea towels😄xx

@theRCOT Thank you for asking. I start placement in a little over two weeks. I will keep you posted 💚💚

@NessBuchanan 💚💚 How's your first placement going?

Recived uniform ready for 1st placement with excitement and also some trepidation.
