My Last Clinic Day!!!!

I cannot believe that today is my last and final clinic day! I treated my last pt and I'm having mixed emotions. One one hand I'm glad that I'm Graduating on the other hand I'm really going to miss some aspects of being a student. During that last 2 years I have really become comfortable with this clinic I was so nervous on owe first day but now I feel very much at home. I am excited for a new start but I will definitely miss my pod mates!!! What will I do when I can't have my weekly does of Marianne. How will I work with out hearing Sarah's OHI lol I mill greatly miss all the girls being here with me!! I am however so excited to be done and move on so I can get paid for the work I'm doing!!! I have had a great Last 2 years and I'm so excited to say I made it!!!!! Best Day Ever!

Laser

Today I got to be on the receiving end of the laser for once. I had a cold sore and of coarse it would show up right before Graduation!! I guess its a true sign of the stress!Although Joy was here today and lucky for me she went a head and lasered it!! I really hope that it will be gone before graduation!!!! I'm going to have to keep track and see what it does hopefully it will not appear in the same place again. The down side my lip is kinda yellow and gross looking at the moment! I do feel like its already starting to get better though!! So thanks again to joy!!

Last day at the Testing Center

I took my last and final exam at Weber States testing center!!! I'm so excited! walking out was the best feeling ever!!! I cant believe I'm done with all tests. I am slowly starting to feel all the pressure and weight lift off of me. I also I picked up my cap and gown today!!! SO EXCITED!! I cant believe we are Finlay done. I just have to bind my BS research paper and cant wait to graduate!!! We are going to have a pot luck lunch now so I have to go and eat some good food!!!

Passed my Board

Today I got my clinical board score and it was so nerve racking!!! thanks to the wonderful people at WREB I thought I had failed my board when I really actually got a 100%. I scrolled quickly through the email and at the bottom saw a huge EXAM FAIL I started to freak out!!! I then started to look and see where I messed up but realized that under the clinical score was 100%. Wow after a few minutes I jumped up a did a dance!! realizing a had truly passed!! So frustrating to think that I had failed. I went through about 20 different emotions that day. I'm so excited that I passed and cant wait to here my POC results :) so cole to being done.

Last VA Day

Today was full of farewells as well as excitement! It was our last day at the VA and I though I have hated the drive I have learned to like the VA. The pts are interesting and it has been a good learning experience. I love the kinds of pts you get to see and enjoyed hearing their good stories! I loved working with Connie and will really miss her she was so sweet to all of us!!! I am excited to be done and would like to move so I can get PAID!!! So farewell and good riddance VA I will not miss the 5:00 mornings!!!

50 min baby

Today I saw 3 pt at the va I was so happy I got to complete all of them in 50 min!!! I feel like I'm really getting fast enough to work in a private practice! It felt like I would never reach this point but I now feel I have gotten to an acceptable pace. I have met all my requirements and I'm very excited about now being able to see my recall cl V pts!!

Finaly a class III

I have been wishing and hoping for a class III for the past few weeks and this week I was able to clean 6 quads of a class III!! Woot Woot!! thanks to Connie at the VA for agreeing with my OD and a huge thanks to instructor Parry for gifting me 2 quads of a class II Today The pt was boarder line but he was willing to work with me!! I love instructors who are willing to give you chance!!
My afternoon pt consisted of me busting my butt to get her done by 1:45 (2 quads of a three and 4 PA's) then she didn't have the money to pay so I ended up forking out 24$!!! Yeah I'm kinda anoyed. I thought I told her the cost but she said I didn't. Who knows anymore my memory is starting to fail me so it is entirely possible that I didn't tell her the cost. Oh well just another cost I can add to my expensive education.
Morning pt a simple 1b but I was able to take a conventional pano!! so now all pano and PA requirements are fulfilled!!! So i was excited about the pano even though it took me 3 tries yep it was so embarrassing and really time consuming I spent 20 min scaling and 45 min in the x-ray room... Lame...
On a positive note the pano I took had some great pathology #32 and 31 were fused together and impacted (causing a lot of pain as it's trying to erupt)I also saw my first set of denticles 3 to be exact! it was very cool to see them!!
Overall It was a good day full of some excitement but I'm glad is over another day down!
