Kids

Today I was able to finish my requirements!! I scheduled a family with 4 kids to come in. Of course they tried to cancel on me but I wouldn't have it! :) I hate having requirements because it is so stressful to make sure that we get someone with the right classification. I understand that we need the experiences but it's not fun finding what we need. I am so excited because we only have 1 more clinic day left!! I finished my last day at the VA yesterday. I won't miss the few weeks that we have off. I have my brother in law coming in for the last clinic day and I'm hoping to pass of a couple more PE's so I can get a little ahead for next semester.

Mockboard #2

I found my mockboard patient for January. (Well Dr. Hanson did). I'm relieved that I have one lined up. I cleaned 2 quads today and the calculus wasn't very tenacious so I hope that's how it will be for the exam. Hopefully she'll be reliable and want to come back in January.

Extra quads...check!

Well I finally got my extra quad requirements. Granted they are 1B's, but at least I don't have to worry about them! I had a patient this morning that hadn't had a cleaning in 5 years! Yep...1B! I was able to do my diagnodent PE but had to wait 30 minutes for tips!! At least my patient was ok with waiting. I wanted to do the corded one but I couldn't find the tips anywhere. It was really frustrating because nobody knew where they were. Oh well I did it and it's done!
