Busy week

So this week was great for clinic... I found my class 4!!! But question if any one reads this.  What happens if she had just got x-rays taken at midtown so I could not take them for the eaglesoft project?  Let me kmow if any of you know.  Then I had va clinic on thursday.  I only saw class 5 patients... I feel like that is always what I see there.  Then friday I took the LA board.  Stressful... Hope I passed! Now I need to study for nationals... Wish me luck, i feel all studied out!

Another week done!

This week It was nice having monday off.  I used the day to study study for LA.  I feel like I am really getting the information down... So I better pass the test.  Then tuesday was mockboards.  My patient had so much calculus, and so what did I do? Oh I added teeth instead of just doing one quad.  Oops! Learned my lesson.  Then the la mockboard went really well... hopefully that is a good sign.  Then it was great I had wednesday and thursday off this week.  I used this time to study!  Friday was sealant clinic and it went fairly well.  One little girl had a really loose tooth, so Joy tried to help me wiggle it and see if we could get it to come out using topical.  The little girl did not like that at all... Im sure you all heard her.  So we stopped and she was great the rest of the appointment.  Now next week is LA board.. Wish me luck and good luck to all of the others taking it this week!

Wow the weeks go by fast....

Well 2nd week down!! I can't believe how fast it goes.  This week went pretty well for me.  I have clinic, va, and the sealant clinic.  The main thing that happened in clinic was I had a class II patient which was a pretty difficult class II.  I have to really remember to use the instrumenting techniques.  I noticed I was not leading with the toe/tip so I really focused on that and my goal is to make that become a habit.  At the va this week I saw an easy class v and a 1b.  I know i will get all those requirements done fast.  I was able to place arestin on my class v and I am starting to feel really comfortable placing them.  Then at the sealant clinic today I was able to do a cleaning on a cute girl and fix one sealant.  It went so smoothly.  It was a good week and now we are down to 13 weeks!! Right?

First week of my last semester ever.... DONE!!

Wow I can not believe that school is coming to an end soon.  Week 1 of 15 weeks is over.  14 more to go.. Yah!!  Well the first week went pretty well for me.  I had clinic on Tuesday, which my morning pt was a class II.  I got her all cleaned and did alot of sealants.  It was great because I got to pass off the sealant PE and airpowder polish PE.  Then I saw a fairly easy class V pt in the afternoon, and passed off my infection control PE.  I have made a goal for myself that I am going to work on PE's at the beginning of the semester so that I don't have to worry about them at the end.  After clinic on tuesday I didnt have to go back until friday.  (But of course I studied for boards on my days off.)  Friday was so fun going to the school and do screenings on the kids, they say the funniest things!  Well now I just need to find pts for next week.. So wish me luck, and before we know it week 14 will be over!
