Experience counts for a lot…

Cleaning out email at 2am since had trouble sleeping, about to try to go back to sleep! Lester is goose snoring!

Cheryl from http://otnotes.blogspot.com/   shares this REALLY GOOD POINT…

Sometimes the only thing standing between you and disaster is an experienced coworker. There's been a number of times when the rehab aide has taken a look at a patient and advised to lay off, or noticed diaphoresis early… she's probably stopped a lot of falls and other problems just from experience and observation skills. Mad props to her– and attention students- don't rule anybody out as a potential teacher. There are a lot times when your masters/doctorate degree doesn't mean a thing next to someone's experienced observations or practical skills they've developed over time. Make friends with these people, they will save you from being an idiot time an again.
