WAHOOOOOO

Finally all my requirements are complete. Now everything would be extra quads to go with my other extra quads. I am relieved, but I should probably go back through and make sure I really have all of my requirements. That would be bad if I was short on tests or something. Anyways one more clinic session yes CHRISTMAS

good day

Today was a confidence booster. I actually had a pretty good day and didn't really feel stress at the end. This morning I saw a Ib so it was really nice. I passed up a lot of things too. I was finished with everything withing 50 minutes. I got sealants done, air powder polish and desensitizing and diagnodent all done it was awesome. I felt relaxed and really enjoyed the morning. In the afternoon it was good too becasue I got to pass off my nitrous PE and my last arestin PE. My patient was really cute. I only got two quads of a three done though, but it was good. The only thing that I didn't like about the nitrous was that it was hard to work on the maxillary anteriors because I counldn't really access them well with the nose piece.

alomost done with class III

Yeah I finally have all my class III scheduled. Now I just want easy patients at the VA, but the bad thing about that is that if my patients here don't show and I don't do any at the VA. My patient today smelt so bad. He supposedly smokes one pack a week. Hahahahahaha yeah right. I am ready to be done with school. I am getting burned out. My class III test are done

only a few sessions left

I am doing okay on requirements. I only need after today 6 more quads of a class III I think I have them scheduled. I am excited to be done with the semester. I like giving anesthetic. Today i gave it to a second patient. I had a really sensitive pt. I counldn't explore or probe. It was annoying. For the first time I used oraqix and I don' t know if I really believe in that or not. I am not so sure it really did anything, I guess I will just have to keep trying it and see if it is helpful. She was so nice and then you touch her mouht and she kind-of freaked. I didn't totally love working on her.

Mock board

Today was mock board. I was kind-of glad that I got to be a student examiner befor I had to actually be the clinician, but also it stressed me out a little because I wish I had already done it. I was a little anxious. Then my patient got here and I was glad to get going. I did my initial check and then the examiners had my patient for 45 minutes. It was really stressful. Then guess what they didn't qualify!!! Professor Alexander was the one who helped me find her and we decided that there were 12 big enough clicks with one quad and four other teeth. I don't know what is going to happen, but I guess it will be okay. I am glad it is over and glad for the experience.

YEAH YEAH

Today was a really good day. Morning lab was nice and then this afternoon I only saw a 5 year old. It was so nice and relaxing. In a way though I feel like I am wasting time because I tried to find another pt. to come after the 5 year old, but couldn't. I need class III really bad.

board pt

Well as of today I only need 2 more quads of a class II and It is my board pt. so I will get them because I have to use two quads. I am feeling more confidant at moments, but less at others. This morning I did 2 quads of a class II and did fairly well. I still missed two spots. Then this afternoon I worked on my board patient and was able to get two quads done. I missed three spots on her. In one quad. Two of the spots I knew were there and couldn't get off. The other one was so easy to get off once I knew it was there. I am nervous for the board, but oh well here we go. I think I am relaxing a little and I am finally learning to use my explorer. Today though I broke a periodontal file in my patients pocket. Mesial grove of #5. It was kind of scary, but I knew I couldn't have her swallow and I couldn't use the suction so she didn't so I could get an instructor; so I just got the explorer like nothing happened and got the tip out. It was a little easier than I was expecting. I am glad I got it out though with no problem. My patient never even knew.
