First Human Patient!!

Today was awesome! We got to work on our neighbor and I saw my first really human pt in my opp. Merianne was a great pt who helped instruct me on my super suctioning skills! we used the HVE, saliva ejector, and the blue boa. It was over all Fun. I also passed off my 2nd PE woot woot I think I managed to pass! they are still a little never recking but I'm sure I"ll get the hang of it! I realized the blue boa was a lot stronger suction then I thought. It was kinda funny the first time I closed my mouth all the way around it. Overall it was a good day and very productive.

Blue Boa, PE's, Suction what else?

Man It was so early when I got up this morning though the time dose fly by in clinic. Today we learned how to do our PPE/PE and I sure I can pass of that PE I also Completed my first ever PE and passed woot! woot! It was a little nerve racking but went well. Its nice to learn/see the process of everything. The Blue boa is a great idea I think once I get used to the idea of it I will like it. I love how its hands-free I think I'll need all and any extra help I can get. We also got to practice suctioning on our Typodonts I have the feeling I'm really gunna need to sit properly so my back wont hurt so much. It was cool and we also learned about pt charts they are a little confusing but I love the cheet sheet!

First Clinic Day!!

Clinic was great for the first day I learned my way around met some awesome girls in my clinic. We mostly checked off items in our pod and thourghout the clinic. We also learned a little more about what is expected of us and I feel like the program is off to a good start. It was interesting watching Mechel and Meriann practice on each other it was great!! The lab was hotand my lab coat only made it worse. I fear I may pass out in the future from the heat. I was fun the hear everyones most embarrassing stories and we had a good laugh. Overall I think it was a great day and I'm looking forward to Wendsday.

This will be one of our last days together before the crazy busy semester starts. Good thing it was fun!

Orientation day!! I feel so much better about the program and can't wait to start!
