Only one more!

Yes that's right...only one more VA day. Today was actually a good day there. I saw 2 class 5's and it was an easy early day. We have a new instructor there from SLCC and she is very nice. I do miss McConaughy but I guess she had to move to a different day since Barb had surgery. I will be so happy when I don't have to go to the VA!! Graduation is only 3 weeks away. I can't believe it's here! Now if WREB will just post those dang scores I'll be much better!!

4

Finally I found a class 4! My afternoon patient wasn't coming in until 1:30 and another patient's wife was sitting in the lobby and wanted a screening so I said I would do it. She ended up being 4 quads of a 4! I can relax now that I know I will get my requirements. Now if she will just show up :) I finished up my class 3 requirements and my 1B requirements so it's just smooth sailing from here on out. I am still waiting to hear from WREB about my clinical. I don't know why they take so long to get us our results. They know when they check our patients if we passed or not. Hopefully it will come soon!

Getting closer

Boards are over!! It it definately a good feeling to be finished (hopefully). Today I saw 2 class 3's and a 1A. I am feeling confident that I know what I'm doing and that I can work in the real world. Now it's all about getting the little things done like PE's! I only have 1 more to do. And I still need 3 quads of a 4 so hopefully the VA will be good to me! Graduation is only weeks away!!

LA mockboard

Last week we had LA mockboards. I was one of the first ones in the morning. I used one of the first years and it went great! She did have her wisdom teeth so it threw me off a little but you do that same thing so it was fine. I did get osseous contact on the IA so I had to take a breath and remember exactly how to handle that. I must have done ok because I passed, both of them! We also took a mockboard written. I did well on that too but I'm worried the real thing won't be like that. I am really worried about the written to be honest. This week I will have to hide myself away so I can study for it. I feel bad neglecting my family but it will all be over in no time! Now I just hope that I can get my board patient to show up! And I got my results in the mail for the National Board and I PASSED!!!! SUch a relief!!!!!!
