Sealant Clinic

So last Friday we had another children's sealant clinic. Some of the kids are so cute and others are so anxious to get the heck out of there:) We had a little boy that was so funny. We asked him if he was ready to get started and he replied... (sigh) I guess. He had little comments like this the whole time. We switch operators to keep him entertained so he wouldn't jump out the chair and just be done. Karlie did the cleaning and x-rays, then I did his four sealants and Kadee assisted me. Then I cleaned the next little girl and Kadee did her two sealants. We have a little system down. Only two more of these:) The last one is so close to graduation... I hope I can hang in there, it's getting sooo close!!!!

Another Day in Paradise

Just another day in clinic. Good news is that I'm done with class III's, bad news is my afternoon patient was a 1B oh and didn't really want to pay for his treatment. After we did everything and I told him the price for everything before I did it, he signed his treatment plan that stated $51 because we did a lot on him, he said his card hasn't been working because there was some fraudulent activity on it. WHAT? Well then why in the heck did you come to get treatment and elect all of the extra's? I was glad he did end up paying another way because I really didn't want to pay that much for a patient that I really didn't want to even see in the first place. Well... that's just how clinic goes:) Oh more good news... I did four PE's today! I have nine more to do then I'm done with them forever!!!! YAY!!!!! I can't wait for that day!

National Board Exam

Wow... that exam really uh.... SUCKED! I feel like I really failed that one. I know everyone always says that, but I really hope I'm not the one that actually does fail this one. I won't be able to show my face back at school if I don't pass. Think positive, right?! I'll do my best. I hate waiting so long to get results but oh well I guess:)

Another mock board

So this mock board went so much better than the last one even though I had the same patient:) I'm excited that I'm feeling a little more confident! I really hope that I'm able to pass all five of my boards. As soon as I have good results in my hands I can finally relax for reals for the first time in years. That will be a good day:) I hope it comes?!?!?!

Easy but stressin'

So today in clinic I saw two 1B's. This doesn't really help me with getting my requirements done, well I guess I need 12 quads, so there's 8 and I'm sure I'll run into some more. But the stress part is I have my first freakin' board exam TOMORROW!!! AH!! I'm scared out of my mind. I wish I could calm down so I could think more clearly but I don't know if that's going to happen? Oh well, if there's one to fail... it's this one. Here goes nothin'.
