3rd Day of Clinic

Well it's the 2nd week and the 3rd day of clinic.  I am getting use to clinic and how everything is going to work now.  We learned how to set up and how to do post procedure.  We set everything up our selfs and then we got to use the air water syringe and suction on aother student.  It was fun trying the blue boa on a real patient, becuase this was new to me.  I have used a saliva ejector and HVE before so it was fun applying something new like the blue boa. Then we applied what we learned from the post procedure and cleanded up our unit.  Then I practiced my PPE PE, ha what a mouth full.  I passed it off, one more down, now to study for the others! :)

2nd day of clinic

We had our second day of clinic.  It was nice because we already are kind of familar with the clinic now.  We had a speaker today.  The creater of the Blue Boa.  I think it is so awesome that she created it and it will be so useful.  We got to get familar with them and how they work and also use the HVE and the saliva injector.  We then went over our next PE. We learned about attire, washing hands, eyewear, glasses, and gloving up.  We then practiced washing our hands, putting everything on, and tried on different gloves to see which ones fit us the best.  The one habbit that I am going to have to break is not putting my mask under my chin.  After all that we learned about charting.  I hope that I can get all this down and remember it one day!! I am sure I will though.  Then I passed off my Eaglesoft PE.  Yeah I did good too.  It wasn't to hard.  Stressing for nothing!!
