darn eaglesoft.

I scheduled today so that I would see a 1B patient in the morning and be able to have time to do the eaglesoft project... he didn't need x-rays like I thought he did so I could do it. I also got him finished quickly so he could go, but didn't think to take the time to pass off any PE's. I am so behind in the PE department! I think that I have done 4. I am leaving myself so much to do next semester and I think that I am going to hate myself for it!

ready for boards?

At the VA on tuesday I was able to have a patient with calculus all over! It was so fun because it wasn't really tenacious. My professor helped me out and told me that she thought my scaling was very good and that I could pass the board today! what a compliment! I am not sure that I believe her yet but everybody needs a good confidence boost. I ended up missing 4 spots so apparently I am not that great but it made my day to have somebody tell me I was doing well. So often I feel like I have no idea how I compare and if I am up to the level that I should be. Im still learning but so glad I got out of bed at 5:30 in the dang morning to go to the VA today.

turned into a good day

So I woke up this morning not feeling well and I had no patients scheduled. I thought about not coming but I got out of bed called some people got two patients scheduled and WAM BAM! One of them was 2 quads of a class 3! when all is said and done I am glad I came and got the experience. but I have learned that sometimes the patient should be an easy cleaning but because they are nervous and super sensitive it makes the appointment just as hard as a class 4! oh well... I guess I'll have to deal with that in real practice so it will be good to know what to do.

mockboard nightmares!

last night I could not sleep because I am so anxious for mockboards to be here and over! it is a week away and I am already losing sleep! I was supposed to take x-rays on her today but she didn't show up, just one more thing for me to do the day of! clinic today was easy I had a kid and he was so funny! The whole time I was entertained. his grandma said she was nervous that he was going to misbehave but I think that me and the kid had enough in common that we had fun!
