Mock Board

This morning my patient decided to cover a shift for a fellow worker instead 0f coming in this morning. It was my turn to have a "no show" I guess!

Production Day

On my production day I decided to 3 children in the morning. On one of the children I did a couple of sealants. Things flowed really well. In the afternoon I had my first patient cancel so I brought in a daughter of mine and did 4 sealants on her and then I had another patient scheduled that had a history of really high blood pressure and had to dismiss her last semester. She was running high on her blood pressure and had to use the larger cuff which helped to bring her BP down to a managable level. She did turn out to be a Class II and a Class III. I was able to get a full mouth of x-rays on her which helped my meet the requirements for all my PAs!

Goal Setting

Today went well. I am setting a goal to try to see at least 3 patients a day. I did so today. Things went well and didn't have many complications. I'm excited to progress on.

Second clinic 2009

I am not having very good luck with keeping patients this semester. I was able to bring my daughter in this morning for a patient who informed me that he couldn't come in till 10:30. I was able to pass off 2 PEs and do sealants on her so I felt that I still benefitted this morning. Last night my afternoon patient canceled. I was able to find a patient to come in but not until 2:15. Oh well, at least it was a patient in the chair!!!

Spring first clinic

I was a little apprehensive about starting and wondering if things would come back naturally after the Christmas break. It did and I was pleasantly suprised! To start off the semester I had my first patient cancel when they were supposed to be there in clinic. I was able to get my husband to come in at the last minute so I had a patient in the chair. I was able to get some more x-rays so I'm feeling pretty good about my standing with my requirements this semester. I want to try to push myself so that I am more up to speed for when I graduate.

Spring first clinic

I was wondering what today would be like. I was suprised that things seemed to flow without much thought. I was able to get both patients finished from start to finish, including x-rays. I want to push myself each clinic time to increase in speed but also focus on a light touch to hopefully increase comfort as well.

Spring first clinic

I was a little concerned how the first day would go after our break. I was suprised that things seemed to flow. I was able to complete 2 patients, including x-rays, from start to finish. I want to push myself each clinic time so that I can be up to office speed by graduation time.
