Patient Patient Patient!!!!!

    Wednesday went well I got 4 BWX yet again and passed a PE but only one quad!? gees! I'm so slow! It didn't help that my patient was detained from his appointment because parking pass madness was going on! and then BAM! for some reason I thought he was good on his HHx but just when I was about to start everything I realized that the Hygienist had put the wrong date on treatment and the HHx was TWO YEARS OLD! ah! what a waist of time trying to I had to let him hurry and finish up so while waiting I got the X-ray room set up. I guess there are always ways to get something done while others aren't going your way. Anyways I didn't meet my goal and I'm getting frustrated with how slow I'm getting You just have to be super early and light with the scaler it seems anyways I'm out and off to study! Later!

Let me hear ya Holla at me! :D

Well Ladies and Gentlemen I'd be lying if I didn't say TODAY WAS MY BEST DAY OF CLINIC! I have been inspired today to do better and clean faster! I finished a 1B patient start to finish with 4 BWX conventional, and TWO PE's! Woot! I had a really good day and I was happy we finally had a monday afternoon clinic! Wow and I owe it all to my favorite instructor Vyning! He always makes sure you learn something new and then shows you how to work on it! I really felt quite accomplished today! YES!

lol anyways moving on my goal today was for sure met; my new goal is to do that for a second time! I really need to get some sealants in so I think I'll just have a day with all my patients who need them to come in for 10 mins each and get them all done! That would be awesome! So that's the new goal finish another person all the way finished and then pass atleast one PE while doing it. Sweet! Well Signing off for tonight but Awesome job ladies! I'm happy to be in our Class year!

Another day Another dollar

Well today wasn't the best but one PE passed and one quad whoot whoot. I met a Goal that was good, I just can't wait to have another Monday! It is so not fun having to short Wednesdays when you need those longer Mondays to get things done. I just wish I had more time mostly. Next Goal finish two people! but for next Monday finish my one A because they only have one day at the clinic. Yes, you guessed it the The Family From Topic is headed up with all their kids ! I'm Stoked and ready to go, Can't wait.

First 1B and loving it

Wow it's incredible how much easier a 1B is compared to a Two. I would say today went great, not completely the way I wanted but great none the less. I feel like I need to be faster but I don't want to miss anything, I guess it just comes with time.
As for an update on my goal I didn't get my two quads and I waited a while for an OD check and scale check so Pe's weren't very possible either. I will definitely get at least one pasted off next time. So for my new goal for next time is to call pt. ahead of time and discuss medications and I guess something to work on would be to improve the angulation of the instrument on the tooth. I'm definitely scaling right and staying on task I just think once I get that pure adaption that I'll get all the calculus instead of missing things here and there.  And finally I will atleast get one quad done on my first unknown patient :). Yay! lol

All I can say is this program rocks! and I'm excited that we're so involved !

Not first day of second semester but definitely the Best day! 1-10-11

Ok Sorry I haven't blogged until now but I thought the other days just weren't worth blogging about. Yes, I did get some good work done and it was a learning experience but I can't tell you that I'm not extremely excited that my next patient is a 1B!!!! Wow the last few clinic days to be honest have been a complete nightmare! I was unsure of how to chart, my pt. was a class 2 and I didn't get how to scale the hard calculus. So I guess today was my relief from stress... Today! I finished two quads of a class 2 and passed off a PE! Yes! I did it! I'm happy there is slight light at the end of the tunnel and  I'm doing a heck of a lot better! YAY!

Alright on the serious note of the blog I did have a goal today I wanted to pass off two PE's and finish two quads. Well I met half of my goal I only missed one PE, that was really good by my standards. My goal for the next clinic session is to complete 2 quads of this new 1B patient I'm seeing so that means everything.. Xrays, OD, scale check and finally two quads. So I'm excited to see how it turns out! Hope everything is working out for all you ladies and good luck on the muscle strength lol I know my fingers hurt today :)
