11-22-10 FIRST PATIENT DAY!!

AW what a day I'm happy to know my dad is a great patient and that he is so willing to help me! Sad thing today was I didn't get to do everything I wanted because he showed up late!!! YIKES! My first day and my patient is late! I'm so happy I can help him though. Some days I wish I could really convey to patients how serious and important it is to do that regular care each and everyday! My dad was very comforting and really nice to come and help me I can't tell you how grateful I am to have such an understanding Father who loves me even though he was late.  I felt like today went well but I definitely need to remember the flow and what needs to be done. Well I'm signing out I'm extremely tired. Later!

Clinic 11-17-10

Ok so I finished my patient today and it was very stressful! I think I did the worse I could possibly do today. I hope I improve from this because I feel like I'm useless at this point. I'm definitely excited for the break so I can reread everything! I hope I can become one of the best clinicians I can be!!!

Clinic 11-15-10

Well here it is I was the operator for the whole day today! Wow I'm actually really impressed with myself. I think I did pretty good but I don't want to brag about the chart stuff I'll write more when I get to scale the whole mouth!. Well my back hurts and my awesome boyfriend is waiting for me so later! :)

Clinic AS PATIENT! Nov 10th!

YAY! I got finished today and man it seemed like a long appointment but I was so happy to see that everything is do-able! They keep telling us you need to do this, you need to do that.. but when you put it all together is awesome how much you can get done and how awesome you are at getting into the routine. Heather again was the best operator! and I was happy to have her! I also enjoyed my blanket and loved the full cleaning! One draw back I do have to say is that varnish feels so bad for the four hours you just want to scrape it OFF! lol oh well I have way clean and healthy teeth and i will continue with my goal of flossing.
Well back to the old books and models! Later!

CLINIC AS PATIENT MONDAY NOV. 8TH

Wow as the patient it was really nice to see all the motions at work! Wow, you can get so stressed and worried all at the same time. Usually I was worrying about things with the operator but it went really well! Heather Tau'a was the most awesome operator and was very good at scaling along with all the paper work! And it was so gracious of her to let me go first as patient and let me see the tricks of the trade. As a patient I can see how our patients can get really tired through out the cleaning but if you give them a blanket and a nice brushing :) I think it makes up for everything! that's it for now OVER and out!

NOV 3 CLINIC!

Alright every one! since I was feeling horrible on monday I sucessfully recovered today by passing all my PE's!... early I might add, did awesome on the air powder polisher, and was priviledged to ULTRANSONIC SCALE! it was so cool but I do need practice. Whitney was an awesome patient who was very patient and so sweet to put up with me. Well that was all for today so yeah LOL peace out.

Nov 1st CLINIC AND RAD!

Well can I say, rad today was alright but clinic was a disaster!! Man, Some times I feel like I do that best I can and I still get scolded! Today my partner and I were the very very last people out of clinic because I ran to ever instructor and they told me they were coming, then I screwed up a sealant, and then I was very last to get my PE passed off because i guess every instructor forgot I had asked. Little to say it was not my day. So I guess I'll leave it as that....
