Here a Board.. There a board.. every where a Board PT!

Oh my goodness what a week! I have had such a successful and productive week it almost doesn't seem real?
I enjoyed my Dental Hygiene sit ins .. I was able to go to both of my offices on Tuesday! It was funny because I scheduled my Mountain Green Dental in the morning bright and early and I woke up to crazy snow! Driving the canyon was a little scary but well worth it! I then got to go home for Lunch and then able to run to my second observation at Booth Dental. I told them 2:30 but I got their at 1:55 So they let me observe a little earlier. I do have to say my eyes were open to a lot and I was also very excited to graduate and start practicing! :)

On Thursday I had my most scary mockboard because I didn't do so hot on the last one and this patient had a bridge of Calculus from the Anteriors to the Posteriors on the lingual side. LOL I laugh now but even my ultrasonic was being weak sauce against this stuff. But my hard work and patience paid off I passed with one one error and I was happy to say she was a class three :)

And finally to end my week I was able to help with screenings this morning! I was happy Whitnee found a board patient! and hope that family works out great for her! They were so funny they all wanted to come back and watch and they were laughing and joking the whole time. :) I know everyone will find a patient, and I'm staying optimistic because I still need one as well.

But yes, what a good and productive week, now to worry about my Nation Board on Tuesday and get ready for the Clinicals WOOT ALMOST DONE!

The Week that started with a better note

All I can say is my stressing is paying off I was able to find out today that I passed my LA written board. Whew... one down.... I'm really lucky though, I definitely owe it to my Daily prayers, my husband for putting up with me, and my teachers who help me through the struggles.

 So needless to stay for one week of this entire senior year I have one today of content and maybe some confidence.

I wish that everyone who works really hard gets acknowledgment that is deserved, We all work so hard to be in this program and profession I just wish best luck to everyone, and want to say that if I fail my others it's ok, I can retake them and I'm not a bad person for it. I love you girls!

MockBoard LA

Well what can you say when you Passed/Failed? I did perfect technique until my hand sorta of collapsed on the PSA, as well as I was instructed to only give the IA first and in my stupidity of changing syringes I touched THE FORBIDDEN CARD! GRRR What ever I must do I must not touch that card! I had the perfect patient! Perfect Landmarks, and perfect no pain sensation but GRRRR why? why must I ruin my self?

Well other then that today was great, my patient came in and she paid me millions of compliments, and gave me the sweetest card I really did cry. Some people are just too nice and I wish that I could clean every one's teeth for free so those wonderful people can get the care they need when they need it no matter what. all I can say is that was a life changing moment when I really saw a change and absolute gratitude from someone who truly cared. I hope that my life can be filled with these moments and that I may be of a great service to many.

That's it for now and tomorrow I wait for.. praying for a board patient!

Well it's offical the nightmares begin

I didn't have nightmares about the LA written but I sure have about the Mockboard! aH it feels like I'm loosing my mind in all this projects, exams, and patient finding.

I have now scheduled 5 people for my screening on the 10th and pray that one of them is a mockboard/ board patient! Where they are hiding I can't be sure but I have to find them. This weekend has been taken over by studying and Football I hope it ends up being a great study session instead of slacking off.

Aw I'm extremely tired, I better not rant anymore ;)
