Almost There!

Stay on target! I am almost finished with school! I have finally finished all my requirements so I just have to hang in there! I can hardly wait to be finished! If feels pretty unreal! In just a little time I will be expected to be the expert! I hope I can live up to the expectation and continue to learn and help my patients. Today my patient gave me a great compliment. She told me that I was very gentle during cleanings. I love that because that has always been a goal of mine to be gentle, so for her to say that means a lot.

Mock board!!!

Another mock board down, no more to go! That means that the next one is the final exam!!!! Yikes! Things went pretty well, I did have some difficulty with 2 spots, but I passed. I even forgot to put in recession! OOPS! The best part of today was the fact that my patient showed up to her appointment and she is willing to come on the real day. I wish I had cleaned her other lower quad however because she had more in the quad I cleaned today and I will probably have to add teeth to make her qualify for the real thing. But that's okay. I think it will all work out okay.

My first No Show!

If you believe it, I haven't had any no shows this semester until today. I finally had one. I'm not too upset about it, I was able to get some homework completed and other things, so it isn't like last year when I had so many cancellations and problems with my schedule! I remember how big of a nightmare that was! And this afternoon I saw my class IV patient to finish him. Things went a lot smoother this time. That is comforting! So, yeah, I am getting colser to getting all of my requirements finished.
