The Beginning

The product phase thus far has been very easy. I have had a mentor since the beginning of the year, so I didn't have the hassle of trying to find a mentor last minute, which made the whole process much easier. So, my advice to people who are starting the project is to go ahead a secure a mentor before you start the project. Do not do it too far in advance, but jusr make sure you have one before you start your project. It is not mandatory that you have a mentor before you start the project, but it will make the process A LOT smoother for you.

I already have half of my hours complete, and I have accomplished a lot in those 7 hours. My product is following a Cardiovascular Accident (stroke) patient all the way through therapy from beginning evaluation to discharge. I have already begun the treatment plan for the patient and thus far it is going well.
