Taking one for the team
The VA has a very team forward approach in treating their patients as well as always putting the patient at the center of their decision making process. So, to make our rehab team better, my clinical instructor (CI) and I were given the opportunity to instruct a bunch of nurses how to take their patients through a range of motion (ROM) program. This basically means that the patient, whatever mental/physical state they are in, get put through this ROM program to maintain the movement at each joint. When I first found out about it I was like ah yes this is going to be awesome and I’m going to be able to teach something that is like bread and butter to me….until I realized the nurses were coming off of their 8:00P.M.-5:00 A.M. shift and we had to be at the VA at 6:00 A.M. this morning. Not too terribly bad considering I am a morning person, except that I have to drive about 45 minutes each way to work so I got up around 4:30 this morning. Talk about tired…I don’t even know how I am up this late writing this still. Life of the DPT.

![Happy #LibraryShelfieDay! Did you know that the current location of the library used to be a chapel? Our Lady Queen of Peace Chapel was built in the Romanesque architectural style in 1938. The Library was originally on the first floor, with the Chapel above. A major renovation occurred in 1986, when the Chapel and the Library exchanged places. The tall ceilings of the Chapel were divided into three floors. It is very intentional that the chapel and library share a building. As Sister Joan Braun is quoted as saying at the Library’s renovation dedication, “Medieval libraries were housed near the Church; St. Scholastica's library is now housed above the place of worship. I would like to suggest to you that this location has a rational relationship as well as a symbolic one. In the library, we seek knowledge; in the chapel we seek wisdom which builds on knowledge.” #LibraryShelfieDay #sceniccampus #OurLadyQueenofPeaceChapel #knowledgeandwisdom #community #hospitality #history [image description: gallery of pictures of the third floor of the library]](https://scontent.cdninstagram.com/v/t51.2885-15/e35/s320x320/81816015_2299685423658122_7248612442383716658_n.jpg?_nc_ht=scontent.cdninstagram.com&_nc_ohc=DK3Jxuv0YOUAX9a65E6&oh=728ca206cc11e0684e79509ecc351740&oe=5EC54796 "Happy #LibraryShelfieDay!
