I'm sad to say that I turned in my last chart to Dr. Hanson today! I'm having severe feelings of distress knowing she will not be with us next week!! I feel we are losing a wonderful instructor who I know has totally made a better Hygienist!! (thanks Dr. Hanson!!!!) One of my many goals at the start of this year was to at least at, one point, impress Dr. Hanson with some kind of talent. I soon found that she was very realistic yet very encouraging. After my last mockboad she helped me to feel like I could actually pass the real Board!! So here is to Professors who support and encourage us!!!! WE WILL TRULY MISS HER!!!!

LA written
Monday the 23rd was when I took my LA written. It is now the 26 yet the test feels like forever ago!! Seriously can please have my score??? I cant believe I have to wait 15-30 days!! I have mixed feeling regarding the Exam! I felt is was really weird and not at all what I expected. I'm hoping for the best and I'm going to move on to National Board!! I also owe a huge thanks to Marianne for keeping the calm before the test. I had an excellent Quizno's sandwich and a very useful ZEN moment with Marianne just before the exam as well as a what the heck conversation afterward!!! Needless to say I'm so glad she was there with me!!
So lets hope/assume I passed and bring on the next one!!

2nd mockboard!!!!
I am so glad that today is over with!! It was a long day but I'm really happy with the outcome! I got a 92% which is a huge improvement from my last board!! I was a little concerned that my pt might not qualify but that was an unnecessary worry as she had 23 clicks of calculus in her LR quad !! yep 23 people and I was so worried that they wouldn't find 12 hahahha! Either way I plan on using her left side as my BOARD pt!!! yep I'm feeling like she will definitely qualify and she is the sweetest lady who is willing to wait until march to get her treatment finished. I felt like she was a hard pt but I was able to do well and only had one missed area count against me!!! I feel like I really need to start focusing on identifying recession as I missed one area with that as well. However, if I get a 92 on the real board I will be so happy!!!
On another note I was so happy that for one day I got the pleasure of having Merianne back in my pod. I'm certain she is what brought me my good fortune today!! I think I may have to send a request for moving her over to my pod!!!
Well I guess my next step is to find a class 4 pt, another mockboard pt, and u know pass all 5 of my real bards so bring it on!

Bus Stop
Morning: great pt: showed up on time, easy to clean, no missed areas woot woot! sweet girl who is going into nursing!
Afternoon: pt was interesting. She missed the 1st bus and was running late then she wanted me to drive down to the bus station to pick her up. I wanting to finish my class III went to find her but some how missed her and she ended up walking anyway. When I set her in the chair her BP was through the roof but I was able to get her claimed down.Though we started late I was able to successfully do a left PSA MSA and ASA as well as a IA and LB The PSA was perfect though my pt still cried :( so sad!! she was a hard pt to manage and I gave a huge sigh of relief when she walked out the door :)
Overall to day was good and I'm so happy to be feeling better!!

Best day ever!!!
I'm so excited I woke up this morning feeling like today would be really hard. I was up all night with a sick baby and the morning didn't hold much prospect. However, my pt did show up and not only did she qualify for a mockboard pt for the 19th but her 2nd quad will be my really board pt. That's right I found my real board pt!!!!!! I counted 15 clicks of calc on each lower quad! She has no interproximal fillings and pocket depths were all 4-5mm!! My pt has also kindly agreed to be both my moackboard pt and my board pt!! She seemes really reliable!! I'm so excited!!! My afternoon was another story. My pt canceled last night at 8 and I called like 18 people and no one could come in. I was feeling quit depressed but looked up to see my husband who graciously cam in so I could clean his teeth. Yes its true I cleaned his teeth 4 months ago but He was willing and I still got 4 easy quads so, I guess I'll take it!! overall I I'm really excited about the board pt no I get to go home a take care of a sick little girl.
