second mockboard

So my mockboard pt is my actual board patient so I'm excited to see how her calculus comes off. I ended up doing really well on mockboards! I got a 94%, which means I only missed one spot!! Her calculus was pretty hard to get, so I'm kind of nervous for the actual board! But my patient seems really reliable and is super nice!

Finally Some Injections!!

I was finally able to give some injections today!! YAY :) I sill only have 8 out of the 36 injections that we need, but at least I gave some today!! I still need more practice on the PSA. I have to remember to swing way out and down. I hope I get better with more practice...

This afternoon was kind of dissapointing. I had this guy scheduled who hasn't had his teeth cleaned for 30 years and of course he didn't show. But luckily I was able to see a 1A, which is better than nothing.

Back at the VA

My first day back at the VA was a pretty good day! My first patient was a class 2 and my afternoon patient was a class 5. My afternoon patient was the most adorable old man! Everyone got done way early, so we were able leave early!! YAY :)
I'm starting to worry about how many injections I have, I've only given 4 injections and our LA boards are coming up. I really need to get on that!!!

Finally a BREAK!!!

I found my mockboard and board pt. today!! Yes I said BOARDS!! I really didn't think I would be able to find a patient! Now she just has to show up and I have to pass! Sounds easier than it really is...
The end is near!!!!!!!!

first day back of my LAST semester!!

Today was the easiest day ever! I couldn't see my first patient because he had a heart surgery 5 months ago and he needs to waite the full 6 months before he has any elective care done. So, the only thing I could do was his HHX and x-rays. My cousin was my second patient and she was a way easy 1B! Not a bad way to start the last semester off!!
