Mockboard Exam

I have two words: I passed! Sure, it may have been BARELY, but it is a big boost to have not failed miserably like I did last time. I feel like I learned from the places that I missed and I will be able to do it better next time. Before school started I would have never guessed cleaning teeth would be this hard. It really is a lot harder than anyone would think. Hopefully the next mock board just goes even better than this one and then I'll be ready to take on the real deal. At least I will keep telling myself that!

All my patients are going to show up for the rest of the semester

I know my title is really long but it is going to be my new mantra. I just need to stay positive and keep thinking "my patients are going to show up." Because a consecutive streak of no-shows this year I am done with them and I am ready to start having patients show up. Both of my patients this session failed... I was able to move one patient up and found a 1B at the last minute but, if I don't graduate, you can't say I didn't try! One thing that is good is I am noticing that I am getting better at patient treatment and OHI. I am getting better and communicating with the patient what they need to do and just little things are getting fine tuned. So it is okay~
