Another day in clinic!

So today my goal was to pass off the other PE. I first learned the new PE's more in depth than last clinic. And then studied the PPE PE and then passed it off! Two down, a lot more to go! I feel pretty good about learning new things and new ways to do them. I feel like I'm doing things okay so far. I really like clinic and am excited to get to do more and more! I hope to pass off a few PE's next clinic if we have time! I don't want to get behind;) So far so good!!! Bring on the patients! JK

My first PE pass-off!

Today we learned a lot in clinic. We went over how to set-up a room and take it down properly. We learned the proper way to put on and remove our PPE's as well. My goal is to read over my PE's and pass those off because they are more simple than those to come I'm sure. We also put our typodonts on the chair and used the air/water, HVE, and evacuator suction on them. This was a fun activity. I feel pretty comfortable with those things because I have worked with them a lot in both dental facilities I worked in. The biggest thing of the day is that I passed off my first PE! YEAH! I'm on my way people! That's all!

Surviving So Far!

Well I've been through the first two days of school! It hasn't been as bad as I had suspected. We had a few activities to help us get aquainted with the facility, I think I can remember where most things are. We also learned the very basics of Eaglesoft, and this is our first Process Evaluation or PE. I think I can do this one without too many problems. I'm pretty sure I have the best spot in the clinic, with the view over the campus and ogden.

All of the instructors are very nice and very helpful! I'm excited to have professors that are easy to approach and care about our learning!

It's been really fun meeting all of the class, there are a lot of fun people in here! I think we'll have lots of fun while we're all stressed together! I'm excited to start this program and learn everything I can!

Orientation Day

Wow, I've never blogged. This is another new thing for me along with being in school everyday all day. So don't expect anything special, cause you're not gonna find it here!
