Easy day

This morning I saw a recall 1B that I saw 6 months ago and this afternoon I saw the nicest man who was a 5. It was nice to have a day where I didnt have to worry about PEs, requirements, etc. One more clinic day and one more VA day YAAAAA!!!!!!

BOARDS ARE OVER!!!!

It is such a happy feeling to have passed all of my boards!!!! I cant believe that the week of boards has come and gone!

Crazy day

Last week one of the doctors from Midtown found a class 4 so my name was drawn out of that hat to get her. I scheduled her for today and was planning on her staying all day so I could finish her in one day. She speaks spanish so I had Mr. Soloman help translate for me while doing the health history. She has diabetes but said she hasnt checked her blood sugar for 15 days. I took her blood glucose and it was soooo high. So I had to send her home :( In the mean time Mr. Soloman asked a patient from midtown if he wanted a screening while he waited for the dentist. I hurried and sat him in the chair and while I was probing I was just a little giddy because he was a 4!!!!!!!! I was able to clean one quad in the morning, he went and got his tooth pulled during lunch then came back in and I cleaned 2 quads and pam cleaned 1. It is such a great feeling to have all my requirements done now. It s so crazy how everything always works out!

Productive Day

Today was a good day! This morning I finished up my class 4 that I saw before spring break. I was able to pass off all my PE's for this year as well. This afternoon I saw two 1a's and placed 3 sealants. Now I just need three more quads of a 4 and I should be all set!

Finally a 4!

Today I finally saw a four!!! YAY!!! This patient was a little hard to work on because his tongue was a little large and his lip did not want me to retract it no matter how hard I tired. It all worked out though. I was able to use nitrous on him and passed off that PE.

LA Mockboards

LA mock boards went really well today. My patient was running late so Shalyce was so nice to be my patient and it all went so well. I passed both of my injections, but I need to have a better angle towards the midline on the PSA. Prof. Alexander told me to pretend that the needle is on the path towards the opposite eye and to pretend like there is an "x" over the face. That really helped out so much! Im excited to try it!

Mockboard #3

Today was our last mockboards!!! Everything went really good today, I made some small calculus errors but I passed so all is well!
