What a long day! I am so excited to have that behind me.
I am so glad to be finished with national boards. It relieves most of my stress. I want to know how I did, I don't really want to wait over a month for our results, but at least it's over with. Now I have to get on board to study anesthesia. On to the next test to study for. I think it's kind of nice to be done with one so I can focus on the next one and not have to worry about two at one time.

mock board
Well, today went just fine. I don't have my score back yet, but I know I missed two spots that counted. I need to make sure all the teeth are amazingly smooth. I missed the spots because they were a little rough, not that there were big deposites. Hopefully, from this mock board I learned to go back and really feel for the rough spots so I don't have to miss any.
I am getting really anxious about boards. I still don't have a patient. I am going to teach some people at the Davis Behavioral Center oral hygiene and then do some screenings. I am hoping to be able to come across my board patient there. There's not too much longer until I absolutely need someone. I am sure it will come though, I guess I have to be patient and look really hard. We'll see how things work out next week at the Behavioral Center. I am crossing my fingers.

3/17/09
Today was a good day. Both of my patients showed up! I was able to see my patient that is coming for mock boards and that went very well. I was also able to clean 2 quads of a class 4, which was a challenge for me. The calculus was very tenacious, so I was able to learn alot from this patient. I think I am done with my exams for class 3's and 4's now. That feels good.

Last Class 2 exam
Today I had a good morning. My patient was a class 2 and I only needed four more quadrants of a class 2 exam. I am so excited to be getting close to be done with my class 2 and 5. I only missed one spot. My patient was very nice and so cooperative; that makes the appointment go by so smooth.
My patient this afternoon cancelled after I had called yesterday to confirm and made arrangements to come in the afternoon instead of in the morning. It was a little frustrating, but there was nothing I could do about it. I tried calling other people to come in, but didn't have any luck. At least my morning was successful.
