day 30

today we went over emergency preparedness for clinic. We talked about where to find the oxygen and how to administer it to patitents. We also talked about some of the signs to tell syncope and how to treat a pt who may be having troubles with it. Well, we see our first real pt next time, I hope Nate is nice to me, and I hope things will go fairly smoothly.

29th day

Today was our mock, mock patient day. It was really stressful getting prepared for it, but I think I did really well, for the first time. I got a passing grade which is pretty dang awesome, so I am feeling slightly better about next week when we have a real pt.

Today I passed off my sharpening PE, which was just fine, except for some reason I wasn't thinking right, and couldn't pick up a curet to show Costley, so she laughed at me. I know what a curet is, I just was nervous and kept picking up the wrong one. Oh well.

Gottsta go!

26th day

Today we learned about the pSR probing, which is slightly different than the regular probing. I guess on our real pt. we have to do both in 2 weeks. I am really nervous about this whole thing, I don't feel ready at all, but I guess I will just give it a good try.

25th day

Today I passed off my air powder polish pe, and learned how to do sealants. It was a stressful day, trying to get so many things done and doing a good job at them. I am glad this day is over.

24th day

Today we practiced doing air powder polishing and it was fun to work with, but it tastes so incredibly nasty. I am going to struggle having to put other people through that when I know how bad it is myself. It wouldn't be so bad if it wasn't spearmint flavor. Soooooo Nasty !!!

Anyway, I passed off the posterior PE, and it turned out okay.

Next time I think it is polishing.

Day 23

Today we learned about how to use the ultra sonic, and we got to practice on the dexters which was very fun. We also learned about how to sharpen our instruments, which is more confusing than you would think it would be, but I am glad I know how, it will help me to practice and sharpen in the future.o
